Not a fan of showbiz gossip but I hated having to hate Spacey for being a predator. I love his acting and I am happy I can go back to loving the actor

      Is there ever any actual evidence? Isn’t that precisely why sexual predators are able to get away with it so frequently?

        Without evidence, there’s nothing. It would mean, you, me and anyone else can be charged for “sexual predatory behavior” and prisoned for years. While we did not do anything at all.

        Not-guilty until proven is a thing.

        Also do you realize what this does to someone who’s not guilty? Wrecked career, wrecked mental health and reputation to the ground.

        Yeah so basically, there’s not. What you are saying is just your opinion based on zero evidence.

        Certainly you might not like someone or have same vague idea how the person might be. But that does not mean anything without evidence.

        With your mindset, everyone would be able to sue each other and everyone would be guilty. Because hey, that particular person “acts suspicious, says odd things and he looks weird!”

          There’s a fuckton more to it than that and you know it.

          How about the fact that every single one of the first four people that accused him died shortly thereafter? How about the creepy as fuck videos he posted with insane symbolism? How about the plethora of rumors that have persisted for years? How about the family guy joke? How about the interviews with people before they died? How about the fact that his accusers were male and then surprise surprise he comes out as gay? If it were bullshit it would have been fake women accusers before he outed himself.

          Aside from that, you have to get a good read on people. I’ve despised spacey since the first movie I saw him in. He essentially plays the same character in the majority of his movies. Which is himself. He’s worn a smirk on his face, on film, for decades that just screams absolute creep.

                Couldn’t care less about anyone’s sexual orientation. I don’t know where in my comments you found anything that could make you think I would. Also, I’m not defending anything or anyone. I am not a lawyer. Finally, your comments start to look like you want to antagonize and I don’t appreciate that. Good day

                  It was an honest question as I was simply curious as to the reason why anyone would defend spacey. Have a good one.
