She was a classy young woman in the days of American Pie and American Beauty, and she has only become more classy with the passage of time. All the best to her.
Yeah but she wasn't so classy and that weird movie called Spun ... I saw it once and never wanted to see it again
@@gardensofthegodssome people have played strange roles, like hugh grant said they gave him all sorts of horrible roles before the good ones. it's why acting is for people who love it not for everyone.
Except for taking her clothes off in front of the entire world smh
How sick that she was raped at 12 and continued to be abused by others. We need to do better as a society!
I don’t really trust the sincerity of celebs TBF. The likelihood is, this memoir was damage control. The bisexual threesomes, drug taking, etc, was probably about to be leaked to the press, so, to save her career / reputation, she released a memoir where she was the victim in all of this - not the willing participant who enjoyed it all.
Yeah....how about stopping being a victim and learning from abuse, pain and life's experience. The sad thing nowadays is there's a new woke generation that believe that generations before them had it easy.
Democrat PDF Files.
Skin hounds are not part of society .
Lol the host is disgusting how she tries to villainize Kevin spacey, while mena was trying to explain that she was comfortable and knew what she was doing.
It is written: Don't judge or you will be judged. We can’t assume what was going on with the both of them. This isn't easy to speak out about.
I'm not trying to be disrespectful out of misunderstanding. Sorry for coming so strong. But this is a form of grooming for sexual abuse, which isn't black and white
Oh no it's a crime when she says how she was 13 years old when talking about it and mena makes sure to correct her. As if she was 13 on set with Kevin. Pure evil at work here
They will never stop hanging Kevin Spacey. He's a brilliant actor. Give him his career back. He's a pro, he's gay and was never any danger to her and she knew it. Probably was honored to work with him.
exactly, she kept poking Mena hoping she would reveal something awful about Kevin when in fact, she was trying to make a point about her life experience. What a horrible show host
Mena, you are so talented, and brave. I hope only the best for you.
I remember watching American beauty back in the day and thinking nothing of it, now being a grown adult with kids, wtf did we allow this sort of things go on in movies? We normalized it
Bruh i just watched that movie for the first time and i was like bro wtf kinda red flag is this. The dad and a minor like this is normal. SMH maybe the 90s was different but my first time watching that this i was like bro!!!! Get it together you freaking sicc pedo. N ive been trying to search if anything online said the samething but can't find anything. Smh you're the only. A freaking RUclips comment lol.
It's Hollywood 😞 excellent movie but yeah sadly so many young people exploited. There should be protections for youth in life and in movies. God bless you Mena
Sinead O"Connor's tale on Britney Spears shaving her head was that Brittany was trying be seen as something other than a one-dimensional sex symbol. Sinead herself shaved her head and refused to wear sexy clothes in response to the lecherous music industry executives. Interesting that people felt Mena shaving her head was so outlandish. Gawd forbit she not be the teenage sex symbol.
I just watched American Beauty yesterday. I can’t wait to read her book. Already appreciate the vulnerability ♥️
This poor young woman still appears to be broken, I'm praying she gets counseling her thoughts were all over the place. My lord!
I find her very articulate and is on TV, sharing personal details😢
And you know what I'm sure that of course she got counselling, tons of it, maybe that's why she explains so WELL..she went through rape,addictions etc and got "out of the situation".just like that?no!everybody pushes everybody to get counselling anyway(and I lived in L.A I feel it was extremely.."accepted", no judgment), after even ONE trauma you tell a friend or a colleague..they even share numbers of their own shrink😂.it is sooo common there was even free help in L.A, this lady got money and connections... I'm sure she didn't stop drinking drug etc without any counselling. I'm not even "for counselling" as I don't know if it truly works. But I don't see how someone like her, surrended with many pple could NOT have had it, even for years. The result (IF counselling helps...I try for myself but IDK if I lose my money) seems really GOOD on her. I find you a bit tough...her explaining soooo well, being calm, writing a book ..makes me wanna buy it
She still looks so young, pretty, and natural! I hope to see her in some new films!
Watch house of chains
5:48 Except she wasn't 13 years old, she was aound 19 years old(Filming started in Dec 1998). How lazy and gross you have to be to show up unprepared and pretend you know what you're talking about.
what fucks me up is Tamron trying to characterize an adult woman being held by an adult man with consent as if he is holding a 13 year old child. What Mena describes sounds more like Kevin attempting to comfort someone and she accepted that. Whether she had feelings based upon her past after the fact is irrelevant. This wasn't predatory.
Mena was 20 when she did American Beauty
What a misconstrued typical cancel culture joke of an interview. Jesus christ.
Sounds like appropriate and unnecessary sexual behaviour in the workplace to me. There was still a large age and power gap between the two, and that creates pressure on the recipient to go along with it. But Spacey never worries about any of that - he doesnt care about whats inappropriate or not, just whatever he feels like doing.
@@xxyes8879 but he played the role that someone else wrote into a script, and he played it accurately. His role was creepy, and it was meant to be, because it was telling a story that actually happens in real life. These stories are necessary. He also played a serial killer in Seven. That doesn't mean that anyone on the set was actually afraid of him. It's art.
I like how she still looks much younger than she actually is. In American Beauty, she looked 15 despite being in her 20's.
That's because she plays a 16-year-old.
@@user-ld6wo4rv8h No shit. That's my point. She looked much younger than she was (and still does!).
@@applescruff1969 She does not look younger than her age now. She's hit the wall and is no longer attractive to men with standards.
@@applescruff1969ehh she looked like she was in her 20s to me
She's a multi-millionaire, she's never had a normal job, and she doesn't have to work another day in her life. Of course she's going to look young.
A wonderful discussion to listen to. Many who have experienced this, it resonates. I had an inkling seeing the clips of American beauty that she had this history and now learning I picked up on it, makes me sad to know what she was coerced into doing even tho she didn't really realised what harm it would do later on to her self-esteem. The men around her were selfish and thinking only about themselves, but their action lead to a lifelong dispare for her. So sad yet I'm happy she is getting her story out. Thanks for sharing!
Horrendous interview. First of all, there’s a lot of static on the mic throughout, probably from rubbing against fabric. Very distracting. But the most shocking thing was how Tamron very clearly had an agenda and was trying to use the Kevin Spacey alleged abuse scandal (he was cleared in both the civil and criminal trials) to skew this interview. She makes no attempt to hide her stank face and shady side eye throughout. She interrupts Mena and speaks over her and looks irritated and impatient. She comes across as having an obvious disdain for Mena. It doesn’t feel at all respectful or impartial.
How cathartic and what a good omen to have gotten pregnant right after finishing the book 🙏🏼♥️
Im disgusted by her line of questioning. Tamron hall, in my opinion, was trying to steer her towards saying something foul about kevin spacey. Im glad Mrs. Suvari stayed away from that.
Shes a great actress...I hope she got help for her abuse...by sharing her story shes helping alot of people wth abuse...
"It was okay with me, things aren't black and white."
"Yeah but that doesn't get us views, let me ask it a different way and hope you give a different answer. So when you were 13... "
"I wasn't, I was of age."
"Shit. So let's talk about how young women who weren't of age were treated at that time because that's more sympathetic, then I'll just say 'wow' a few times. Should do it. "
😅👌
The expression on Tamron’s face is perplexing. Very Oprah.
Sadly, Mena is still trying to talk about the perps in a politically correct manner that doesn't malign them. A grown man does not take a strange 18 yr old girl into a private room and "hold" her no matter the reason. She still has a way to go to come to terms with what she's been subjected to.
Poor interview. There is a so much more we could have learned had the interviewer not try to sensationalize the interview.
First of all - Kevin is Gay and the entire industry knew it. This host took one chapter from a book and tried to twist it to make Kevin look like a predator but failed!
He has been with alot of women too.
Kevin is an abuser - I believe Anthony Rapp and the others. And it has NOTHING to do with him being gay!
@@xxyes8879 - I didn't know that Kevin Spacey was Bi-Sexaull. To be fair to K.S.- I think he was just trying to Rehearse the Scene. Even Mena seemed have said he never did anything inappropriate. American Beauty is story of a Man having a Mid=Life Crisis and falling in Love with a Young Woman who happens to be in High School.
Sexual orientation is not necessarily compatible with who a child predator chooses to sexually abuse non consensually.
@@PurpleStarseed444but she wasn't a child.
Nothing was wrong with American Beauty or Kevin Spacey. She was comfortable. This is not sexual abuse. Happy it is still streaming and going to buy it since it ay disappear lol Her other allegations, feel much empathy with her. Nott right
I own it on Blu-Ray for that reason. I'm amazed it's still on streaming services (saw it on Peacock and I own it on VUDU).
There is a lot wrong with Kevin Spacey but ok
@@ultravioletpisces3666 He's recently went to court and won, FYI.
Kevin Spacey is all kinds of gross. But he's rich man so there's a different set of rules for him. I believe Anthony Rapp and the others that he's an abuser.
@@firenze5555he literally proved in court that Rapp and the others were lying
He’s a character actor 😂
Gemma Wynn “” I AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENT. WAS A GREAT MOVIE “
She is so smart and nice too😢❤.the host comes back to kevin a lot cause I feel it is what works,it makes money, it attracts attention and cash😂pple are gonna watch...so she is kinda using her tooooooo. Exploiting her, in some way. Cause this lady is trying to say something different, something how she FELT, and how this was wrong,that it was just okay or almost comforting maybe,at 18 so legak etc(not the rape she had at 12 or other worst stories than kevin..for her mental health and HEART...but I feel that these subjects sell less for the show so she is being used,I'm sorry,to always have to explain more about kevin. for Mena other things, very dramatic things were more important and traumatic, in her life)
Sounds to me that she just copied the script to American Beauty.
Kevin Spacey liked little boys, not girls
Not little boys. Kevin is not a pedo. Spacey was acquitted of all nine charges against him, including seven counts of sexual assault, one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.Jul 26, 2023
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆
Sounds like Kevin Spacey got his rocks off of abusing vulnerable people. I believe Mena and Anthony Rapp.
Even an 18byear old doesn't want an older gross man
they want a 50 yo brad pitt
@FredCarpenter-pb6bd Nobody knows how Mary felt when God impregnated her because He didn't. The Holy Spirit came upon her. Nobody "feels" when the Holy Spirit comes upon them in any way. There's absolutely NO Biblical support for that
The only people who think they feel the power of the Holy Spirit come upon them are the people who receive the false gift of tongues in the Pentecostal, charismatic and apostolic churches because their founders learned Kundalini in India and have been spreading those unclean tongues around the world and people are wicked, blind and foolish enough to call the enemy "holy".
Mena suvari is a dream ..love you from Honduras
American Beauty always disturbed me. Especially the relationship between her and Kevin's character..I never watched it again after first time. The fact it got awards speaks to how acceptable that sh** was.
I believe the movie was meant to be disturbing. Nornally in a movie the main guy is a hero but here the protagonist is not a great guy, he's fixated on a school girl. Still it was filmed and directed really well and the fact that it is a movie that still has humour despite the disturbing undertones is quite the feat. Not all films are meant to make us comfortable and I believe it deserved the awards.
I dont think you're mature enough even now
It's a fantastic movie that touched me deeply.
At the end the character does realize the error of his infatuation and refuses her advances. I think ultimately it was meant to be about the desire to be young and optimistic again...and finding beauty in the mess of life.
The movie was pretty weird but with a meaning behind it. Consider it as top tier
I like her wth blonde hair..this hair color makes her look older..
2 completely clueless birds trying to make story wher none exists. The host is a completely leading her to a box she has made.
Kevin Space Invader. There is a slight lag on Menas voice.
There’s a lot more to the story. What did Kevin say to her? How did he get her alone in a room?? Since when do these things happen on a movie set?
Interesting these accusations are coming out at the same time as her book. So weird.
see the scene from the film American Beauty matches MC Kevinho's funk look see the explosion. Singers from Brazil. I edited it in the kwai app because RUclips doesn't allow it hahaha in the English version... Detróit and Fhiladélphia..it looks like the place where there is pancadão in Brazil
I'm not sure why but I had some trouble understanding what you're trying to say here and maybe it's because I'm getting sleepy
Madam what are you smoking?
Now that we know kevin spacey is innocent and just gay this is super weird
I love the host's Frankenstein hairdo! Just fabulous!
I bet you she gives good helmet
Creative twist on clickbait.
Uhm. Unless she was a boy back then, I honestly think she had the wrong idea.
Also. If she did then how many more might've thought that he was hitting on them when in fact he didn't?
I've been in awkward positions myself. I didn't know how to say step back, mister. This is not okay.
Many boys and men have not taught how to behave, I think. That's why all these stories come out. they don't even KNOW what they did wrong 🤷♀️
My hairdresser is an 50 year old lady. She told me once that she's so angry at those women that say that they were raped by their husband cause in a marriage, there's no rape.
I was STUNNED!!!!
What does she think rape is???
There's some unbelievable people out there. They SIMPLY DON'T KNOW or UNDERSTAND so many things.
Oh puhlease 🙄
Lol
Stunning and brave.
This is irresponsible journalism. Spacey wasn’t just acquitted; he proved his innocence in court. Tamron Hall is fishing for drama and shouldn’t have a job in this business.
He proved his innocence in a LONDON court where a lot of what happened was in LA. He also has the MONEY to make things go away. THE TRUTH here is NOBODY KNOWS HOW HE MADE these REAL allegations go away.
2024 Mr. Spacey is not guilty by the way. Take that.
What the hell is she talking about, she didn’t make it and hit the pipe. Is a normal story.
What is she talking about? Her career died in the 1990s. Was she SAd? I just don't get what her point is. It's all just gibberish. I imagine her publisher has his/her head in their hands.
It’s a movie… one she agreed to act in.
She wasn't ok with it, she was mind controlled. Big difference. 😢
But why continue filming? Were you paid for acting in this role at 18 - it sould be more of a wage issue if you were not compensated
This is pathetic. .
Shes lost her looks
No she didn't. She is still beautiful.
Oh I am jelly of Spacey I’d love to do that part with her over and over ❤
