Everyone should be taken aback. What took so long? My Lord, he’s been treated like he was guilty & convicted years ago. Six years of his creative & productive life were stolen from him. Now what happens to his accusers? This is beyond frightening.
I met someone over 20 years ago who told me about Kevin spacey’s habits and behaviour towards him and others on a film set… Even at the time when there was nothing being levelled against Spacey, this guy, who had nothing to gain from his comments, stated it was something the (male) cast were quite used to experiencing and wasn’t exactly a secret.
Twenty years ago, men behaved differently and it was considered normal. I know because I’m female and I was there. Kevin was probably a gropey guy, and probably made a lot of ‘clumsy passes’ because as a mega star he was probably confident of being tolorated if not eagerly accepted. A lot of guys did that who were not actually rapists and back then it was a successful sexual strategy a lot of the time too. These days it’s called out for what it is- entitled, and inappropriate, pressuring someone for sex. I’ll bet he doesn’t do it any more though. I can remember one of the very first successful sexual harassment cases in my workplace- a blue collar male dominated civics works type space. The guy was cocky, in his 40s, arrogant, sexist and a bit of a lad; always cracking jokes at the expense of women and gays etc etc. After he got done for it though, bu done miracle he still had his job, and I can remember the first time he came into my office after the fact. I immediately treated him exactly as I always had for the prior six years - a tactic you could call ‘get in first defensive verbal joviality to head off the gropey guy’ and I said something to tease him about being a pervert. Usually he would have shot back with a witty zinger of his own. Instead, he literally paled, and stumbling over his words, apologised for his behaviour in the past and begged me not to think he meant anything by it… I was quite astonished. He was a changed man. Consequences. I feel sorry for the hits KS has taken, but I do expect there’s a life lesson in there somewhere.
So what are we going to do with his accusers, just like that? And they’ll move on after almost ruining someone’s life and career? It’s true, it’s all about money.
I'm disappointed with myself I thought he was guilty with out digging into the detail just believing the bad breath of the media a bad case of halitosis
Excellent. Brilliant. I'm so happy for him. He can hold his head high. It's unfortunate his career is gone but he can live with an innocent verdict that nobody can take from him.
Delighted for Mr Spacey, this ordeal must have been so hard for him. I hope he recovers and knows his admirers have not gone away. You go Kev!
What always concerns me is when someone comes forward years later with a historic allegation, he has been found Not Guilty ,now leave him alone
I’ve sat on a jury on a rape trial. The case was so weak I couldn’t believe it had been brought to trial. I blame the CPS
He is clearly owed apologies from many people
including Ridley Scott
You said it. Accusations is all you need- no repercussions for falsehoods.

Fantastic!!!! Great actor…..we need him back on our screens, I missed him!
Guilty or not guilty the damage has already been done.
Glad for Mr.Spacey!!!

What did the person say Spacey did to him?

Who won, the lawyers of course.

I’ll watch him again…..House of Cards spin off anyone?
Should never have come to trial...it goes to trial because it's worth huge amounts of money to the criminal law buisness
Still waiting for the UK to fix their treatment of Johnny Depp.

Are you serious? How many men have accused Kevin of sexual assault? His father sexually abused his brother, probably him too. How can you be serious?
No, they are joking 😬🙄
I miss him so much in movies. Can't wait for his comeback.
Excellent. Brilliant. I'm so happy for him. He can hold his head high. It's unfortunate his career is gone but he can live with an innocent verdict that nobody can take from him.
I don't think his career is over. Let's hope not.
So it wasn't "him too" all this time!
This poor man's life and career are ruined now. I certainly hope he will fight back!!!!!
Is he a giver or a taker. Like getting his gut hit. Or hitn someone gut. Cheap shot.
So happy on his birthday hes was found innocent!!! Allegations are nothing more than rumors and they had no evidence 🥰 Can he sue house of cards????
Time to play advanced warfare now 🤯 (he was the antagonist)
All started because of that has-been Anthony Rapp
The amount of times birds have touched me without permission 🤣 I certainly didn’t complain! 😂
