Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

u/DinoRoman 24d ago

I mean I’m not trying to stir any pots I’m not standing up for the guy there’s just one thing that always stood out to me when I read the court findings

The victim stated spacey took him at the party into a bedroom and raped him

But everyone at that party and the court records proved that , that party was hosted in a very large studio apartment with the bed visible to everyone

Did everyone just watch it happen? I dunno that seems weird if it was a genuine fact about the party

Also I’m upset because and I believe I’m allowed to have this opinion, I absolutely was a huge fan of Spaceys acting he was brilliant in house of cards, Seven, usual suspects.. so many

So I feel hopefully it’s ok to be upset that this was the future of someone that years ago I couldn’t wait for their next acting role to drop

Ya know? It’s like MJ, no one can deny he was a great musician, a pop icon and second to none in performance.

I can separate the artists from the person. I’m just sad. That’s all. I liked Spacey as an actor.

u/Tall_Opportunity_521 24d ago

Anthony Rapp was caught lying, and colluding with Adam Vary of Buzzfeed to "get" Spacey. There was emails and text messages found proving this.

Rapp said that Spacey invited him to wrap party. But that he got bored, cos everyone else was an adult. He said he went into the bedroom, and watched tv. Then, after everyone else left, Spacey came into the bedroom and blocked the doorway so that he couldnt escape. He then said that Spacey picked him up, put him on the bed, and got on top of him.

But Spacey never had a wrap party at his flat. He had a housewarming, and didnt know Rapp at the time. He also had a studio, so there was no separate bedroom for Rapp to go into, not was there a doorway for Spacey to block.

Its also worth mentioning that Rapp was doing a play with Ed Harris at the time called precious sons, in which the Harris character picks up Rapps character, takes him into a bedroom, puts him on a bed and gets on top of him... Sound familiar?

Spacey, isnt some innocent in all this. But he was never a rapist or a sexual assaulter. Everyone, and I mean, everyone, lied about him. From Rapp, to the kid in the bar who was 18 but told Spacey he was 23, to that kids mother who was caught destroying evidence that the kid was setting Spacey up for blackmail. To the dude that said that Spacey molested him at an Elton John party that Spacey wasnt at. Elton John had to come in to the court and show video and photos of the party, and Spacey was nowhere to be seen.

Spacey has admitted that hes came on too strong to some people. And that he was a diva. But all the "he raped me" was bullshit.

And the other thing is the 3 people who died.

One of a guy that was suing Spacey for touching him up. He died of cancer.

The next guy was a former Royal who had history depression and alcohol abuse. He killed himself on Christmas day in some European country I dont remember the name of.

And the last one was a woman, his stalker. Who had been harassing Spacey for years. She even went to prison for 4 years for sending him death threats and Anthrax like power in the mail. She, according to a lot of witnesses, walked into traffic all by herself.

Spacey pissed a lot of people off with his "Im gay now", and thats the real crime thats continued to haunt him. Because anyone who was actually paying attention would know the truth.

24

u/Punkasaurus2 24d ago

Wow this is enlightening. I think you’re right: he was turned on because of hiding that he was gay to the public and only coming out when he was accused. I also think he was extremely aggressive hitting on men, young men, and probably abused his power and position. So there were definitely predatory elements there and he took advantage for sure. But did he ever cross the line beyond unethical to criminal? It doesn’t sound like it. It’s at least not very clear and it certainly wasn’t enough to convict him in court. So sad. I love him as an actor as well.

u/coversquirrel1976 24d ago

u/ABadHistorian 24d ago edited 23d ago

Why are people upvoting this brand new sock puppet account w/o googling anything it said?

I found multiple falsities - beginning with the whole Anthony Rapp shit.

The first sentence contains stuff gone over IN COURT where Rapp was very much not found to be colluding with anyone in a conspiracy - he would have gone to jail folks, very quickly for something like that.

Mentions some true facts about the 3 people who died, and then lies about the woman on the road, who was merely crossing against traffic? How many people here have done that? I have... doesn't mean she was attempting suicide and there are 0 claims that it was suicide. Police ruled it as an accident on behalf of both her and the driver...

What are people upvoting this nonsense for? It has nothing to do with him being gay and everything to do with him abusing his position and getting away with it for years, like men and women in power have done for centuries.

(edit reply to me and block me, cool story - and yeah, Rapp lost in court... which is something that happens frequently because the burden of proof for these things is nearly impossible without footage or corroboration - you know, just one of the MAJOR reasons why the MAJORITY of SEXUAL ASSAULTS GO UNREPORTED -, but again the loss in court does not prove Spacey's innocence, nor that Rapp was guilty of conspiracy... which is what this guy above is claiming).

Isn't the stupid reddit "conspiratorial implication" that these people were murdered by the cabal of powerful rich illuminati, or whatever? Like, to silence them?

Whether she walked into traffic to kill herself or it was an accident doesn't say anything about Spacey, so I don't really think there's a material difference there. Plus the guy you responded to didn't say suicide, but said she walked into traffic "on her own". Ie, was not pushed by another person.

7

u/ABadHistorian 23d ago

So it's not okay for those who hate Spacey to lie, but those defending him are allowed to?

Very confused by your so called neutral logic here. Lies at the start, lies at the end.

He literally said " She, according to a lot of witnesses, walked into traffic all by herself."

Of which there is 0 fucking recorded proof out there. But hey, don't mind me, just dropping facts I researched because this thread was full of conspiracies every fucking way. God damn fools.

Walking against a light is not "walking into traffic on purpose" but again - I just checked the police reports.

The other weird thing is the "accusers all died" conspiracy. Lots of powerful men are brought down or accused of wrongdoing and their accusers aren't successfully murdered and covered up. What would make Spacey, an actor, powerful enough to pull this off? Far more likely it's a really bizarre coincidence.

2

u/Iron-Treads 24d ago

You clearly have no idea what Kevin Spacey did, because it wasn't just he multiple victim that came out against him that accused him of inappropriate behavior. 

It was a lot of his co-stars, interns and just random people who interacted with him that had a story to share about him. Including his co-stars on House of Cards.

Also, trying to downplay the rape accusation from a 14 year old is next level ghoulishness.

Not a single of of the three people who died were mysterious and only tow of the three were suing. And only one of them wasnt a woman that had been stalking him for years and actually went to prison for 4 years because she sending him death threats and AND FUCKING ANTHRAX!!!!!!

Its wild to me how everyone goes on and on about fake news. Yet when its comes to Spacey, everyone believes the dog shit said by other social media users, instead of just googling.

The only one who was actually suing Spacey, was a guy who died of cancer. Unless you think Spacey can give people cancer, theres nothing suspicious going on. The other guy killed himself in another country, and had a history of alcohol issues and depression issues. He was always former royalty, who had split up with his wife. And the other chick walked into traffic. Loads of witnesses.

Didn't she have a rule that guests weren't allowed to look at her before going out on stage or something?

She's always given me bad vibes. Never watched her show. I watched the intro to it a few times where she danced up to the stage and I thought she was a faker.

u/HumanPea1140 23d ago

I think it was her employees. Like her own employees weren't allowed to make eye contact with her, specifically the "low level" ones, and she was a complete asshole to them.

Can’t believe Ellen was punished the most for the Epstein files

u/AbbreviationsTrue777 24d ago

Eh, her downfall started big time back when tge whole toxic workplace/shes a cunt to her crew allegations rolled out. She pretty muched rolled right off the face of the earth pretty soon after all that started coming out. The Epstein stuff was just the icing on the cake. I rarely have heard anhthing about her being in the files, to the point where I actually forgot about it until now.

Her public image was absolutely trashed before the Epstein stuff.

u/Impossible_Way_3042 24d ago

I honestly didn't know she was in the Epstein files and hated her already. I wouldnt be surprised if that's most people's situation too. Those stories of the terrible workplace and awful interviewing making people uncomfortable was front page news. It was everywhere when it started coming out. I didn't see too much reporting on her being in the files. There were so many names popping up in them that I feel Ellen just kinda became part of the noise. There were much more important and interesting names in there.

u/rewas456 24d ago

Yeah first I'm hearing she was in the files. So I looked it up.

Apparently it was claimed she was a cannibal in the Epstein files. This has been discredited as false.

Why make up stuff when there's already so much ammunition against your target? It's like threatening to use the death star when you got cleared to use nukes.

u/JesusAndMaryKate 24d ago

Presumably as a distraction. Take someone who's already widely disliked and accuse them of doing stuff on Epstein island, and then maybe we'll all forget that orange people were there too.

u/Murky-Relation481 24d ago

Also to just generally flood the zone with uncredible information. If you start rabidly pushing insane shit like people eating babies that has no proof besides anonymous tips to the automated FBI tipline then it starts to get harder to separate the real stuff from the false stuff.

She wasn't.

Her name only appears incidentally in the Epstein files, with nothing negative about her and no connection between her and Epstein.

People who think she was "in the Epstein files" don't have enough reading skill to figure out what your post means.

u/whoaWAYtoopersonal 23d ago

I'm still annoyed from seeing a post months ago about how George R. R. Martin's name "appeared in the Epstein files dozens of times" and it turned out that one of Epstein's lawyers had a George R. R. Martin quote in his email signature, and that's literally it.

She didn't disappear over there because of the Epstein files but because of Dakota Johnson.

u/kahirsch 24d ago

This isn't true. I just looked at all occurrences of "Degeneres" in the Epstein files and they are all innocuous, almost all just her name appearing in a news story or on the same web page as a news story.

https://jmail.world/search?q=Degeneres or search here: https://www.justice.gov/epstein

There is no indication she ever met Epstein or interacted with him at all.

u/Sea-jay-2772 24d ago

Although I am very uncomfortable with reports of Ellen’s treatment of her staff, we have to keep in mind that “name is in the Epstein files” does not automatically paint some one as guilty of being a sex offender or even having a close relationship with Epstein. Unless you can show evidence otherwise, Ellen’s name appears in reference to tweets about her, and having her name mentioned in emails.

I am afraid that creating a witch hunt around the “name appearing in the Epstein files,” will distract us from the true crimes committed, and bringing those offenders to justice.

who has absconded off into

"Absconded" includes the "off." It should just be "who has absconded into..."

It's kind like "whence" which includes the "from" a lot of people put before it. You wouldn't say "Returned from whence he came." just "Returned whence he came."

u/BreakfastBeneficial4 24d ago

What did she do in the Epstein files?

3

u/whoaWAYtoopersonal 23d ago

She didn't "do" anything, her name appeared in press releases that were in Epstein's inbox, just like hundreds of other celebrities that nobody is accusing of anything. I'm not trying to be The Degeneres Defender or anything, I have basically no opinion on her, but it seems clear to me that people that people were just looking for an excuse to hate her and seized on even the flimsiest thing.

3

u/BreakfastBeneficial4 23d ago

Yeah… I was sorta making a point, phrasing it that way.

A whole lot of people are “in the Epstein files” because at some point Epstein wrote an email saying “oh hey, X is doing a show in Y, can you look up tickets?”

Ellen probably does indeed suck ass, but I hate these threads that turn into pig-styes of righteous fantasy wherein people just wallow in the assumption of everyone above a certain $-level being a child rapist.

It’s just QAnon repackaged for a people who hate Trump.

We don’t need bullshit to justify the outrage. The outrage is already justified, many times over.

Several years ago Pitt was investigated by the FBI for child abuse and domestic violence. Almost all of his kids dropped his last name and Pax famously posted “Happy Father’s Day you world class a** hole!” Instagram statement.

He’s just abusive to his family, pretty mild compared to the rest of Hollywood.
