Actor Anthony Rapp, besr known for his role in the original casting of the stage play Rent, has accused fellow actor Kevin Spacys of sexually assaulting him when Rapp was a 14 year old. Rapp reveals that Spacey, "picked me up like a groom picks up the bride over the threshold. But I don’t, like, squirm away initially, because I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’ And then he lays down on top of me.” At the time Spacey was 26.
Unlike fellow alleged sexual predators, Harvey Winestine and Mark Halperin, Spacey was quick to respond the allegations in a way no one would have guessed. Posting to his twitter account:
Beneath his thin veiled apology is also an excuse, and instead of assuming his responsibility in the role he blames it on drunken behavior. Even more unfortunate Spacey choose this instance to finally address his long rumoured sexuality of being gay. He is, but unfortunately he didn't get the memo that there's no correlation in pedophilia and homosexuality and many were quick to call out Spacey and his attempt to muddy the two.
Since the news first broke about Weinstein and his assault of numerous Hollywood actresses, many men and women have come forward with their personal encounters with Hollywood predators. The time is now yo hold these men accountable for what and who they are and there's no amount of drunken behavior to justify it. Looking at you Kevin Spacey. In the means time Netflix has been quick to respond to and condemn the allegations and apology with the canceling of Spaceys series House of Cards.
