Also to clarify my big issues are that:
Spacey manages to link homosexuality with pedophilia in the minds of the general populace with his I'll timed announcement.
Feels like media is white knighting him like whoa.
People saying he isn't a pedophile because he didn't have the intent. Sorry but 1)alcohol doesn't mitigate intent and 2) he invited a 14 year old to a club and a private party at his home. He did that sober and knew that was inappropriate.

His apology is complete bullshit (which any apology would be because Anthony was A CHILD). I hate that part of it was coming out and for the terrible people out there it “confirms” their connection between being gay and pedophilia.

Man, he must have felt really creeped out watching him in American Beauty.

Spacey is a friend of Jeff Epstein, so this is not shocking.

I find the whole thing odd if I am being honest.
The timing of the revelation, the odd ass apology. I think there is more to it than just this.

Netflix has cancelled House of Cards Sort of, and not because of this - it will end after the next season (6), and Netflix reps confirm this decision was made months ago. (Though I'm sure the news sped up the announcement.) |

BTW please don't think my post above is in any way a defense of Spacey or suggesting HoC shouldn't be affected in some way by Anthony Rapp's allegations. FWIW, I believe Anthony and think Spacey's apology was terrible. I absolutely think if Netflix/HoC's producers hadn't already decided to end the show, they should have severed ties with him anyway.

I felt his apology was very dismissive and odd. I met Kenvin spacey once and he was super nice, so I’m feeling especially disappointed.

One thing I find particularly disgusting is that his decision to come out alongside his apology now detracts from the real issue. The headlines won't be "Anthony Rapp Accuses Kevin Spacey of Sexual Assualt;" many of the headlines will be "Kevin Spacey Comes Out" with little to no mention of the allegations against him.
Of course, his announcement was very calculated to do exactly that. I recognize that. Which is why I find it so disgusting.

Not only that, but now anti-gay and anti-trans people will use this as an example to prove gay/trans equals pedophile. I think his intent was sympathetic headlines and spin, but any moron should have been able to see that. |

I am not finding the media to be focusing on his coming out. All the articles I've read are focusing on the assault and criticizing him for spinning it by coming out.

I also think this is the beginning of more allegations for celebrities. I mean, these are really powerful men that have been brought down now - Cosby, HW and now Spacey (who I don't think will recover from this). I hope the pedo ring will finally be uncovered and names are named.

Apparently Spacey's agency and publicist have dropped him. Which into me is like, why? As if they didn't know what was happening. Don't act like this is a surprise.

He's already been shot, so I doubt assassination, and it would be out of character for a suicide. They'll probably do an episode or two referring to him doing stuff off camera, and then someone will walk into a room and yell for help because he's had a heart attack or something. Like they did with John Spencer in WW. |
