  • Those allegations began after Anthony Rapp alleged that Spacey, while appearing intoxicated, made a sexual advance toward him at a party in 1986, when Rapp was 14 (so it was pedophilia after all) and Spacey was 27. Rapp had also shared this story in a 2001 interview with The Advocate, but Spacey’s name was redacted from publication to avoid legal disputes and public outing.

    Spacey stated on Twitter that he did not remember the encounter, but that he owed Rapp “the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior” if he had behaved as asserted.

    On September 9, 2020, Rapp sued Spacey for sexual assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress under the Child Victims Act.

    In the subsequent federal civil court proceeding, a jury found that Spacey did not molest Rapp and was found not liable on all counts, with Rapp subsequently ordered by the court to pay Spacey $39,089 for the costs of litigation.

    Fifteen others then came forward alleging similar abuse, including Boston anchorwoman Heather Unruh, who alleged that Spacey sexually assaulted her son; filmmaker Tony Montana; actor Roberto Cavazos; Richard Dreyfuss’ son Harry; and eight people who worked on House of Cards. The Guardian was contacted by “a number of people” who alleged that Spacey “groped and behaved in an inappropriate way with young men” as artistic director of The Old Vic theatre.

    Jesus fucking Christ this is bleak.


  • In 2017, Spacey faced several allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment. On October 29, 2017, actor Anthony Rapp was the first to accuse Spacey of sexual misconduct.In the following weeks, other accusers came forward, including actor Roberto Cavazos, filmmaker Tony Montana, Richard Dreyfuss’s son Harry, and at least eight people who worked on House of Cards.

    In the wake of these claims, Netflix cut ties with Spacey, shelving his biopic of Gore Vidal and removing him from the last season of House of Cards. His completed role as J. Paul Getty in Ridley Scott’s film All the Money in the World (2017) was reshot with Christopher Plummer. Spacey has denied the accusations and was found not liable in a 2022 civil lawsuit filed by Rapp in New York. In a separate criminal case in London, he was acquitted by a jury of sexual assault charges in 2023.

    For the people who know he did smth, but didn’t know what. I had always assumed bit was paedophilia or smth. Gay sexual misconduct was not gonna be smth I would’ve guessed, didnt even know he was gay. But then again I know nothing of any celebrity’s life.

    With the number of people from just the house of cards set making the allegations, it feels highly likely he’s guilty.















  • Can’t say I agree with the thesis so I cant exactly give a good reason.

    Best I can argue is a lot of people share similar interests here and niche communities aren’t very active here.

    So here I can’t talk about how Jack Hobbs record is better fielding first when everyone chose to bat first in his era or the biomechanics of mhd Asif.

    Or Oviedo’s play being dictated by their wingbacks.

    Or Gukesh beating Magnus.

    Or the development of his self analysis in Dylan’s music.

    I cant talk about a Marxist interpretation of severance. Or Marxist film theory and fight club.

    Or Edgar Allan Poe’s philosophy of composition.

    Or the patterns I notice in mythological stories across cultures.

    Or creating conlangs.

    Simply because there is rarely anyone else who is interested in it who’ll find it. There’s not a lot of engagement with niche topics here
