Honestly, I didn't think the first paragraph of his statement was too bad. Don't get me wrong, it'd still be better to not pull this kind of shit in the first place, but at least it seemed like a genuine attempt to apologize to Rapp.
But that really doesn't matter because he had to include that idiotic and offensive second paragraph and make it about him coming out, which doesn't have anything to do with what he's been fucking accused of! That was awful.

I'm not defending Spacey at all, but to be fair to this one phrase, he clearly states that he is bi in his statement. So he's basically saying that he's choosing to live with a man instead of a woman, I believe? I don't think he is officially living with anyone, though, so I could be misreading. The whole statement is a mess. Does he really state that, though? He only says he's had relationships with women in the past, which in and of itself is no confirmation of anything. Especially because he later reinforces he is/has been with men and specifically describes himself as gay, so I don't think that was his intent. Either way, the suggestion of choice comes across as totally tone-deaf, and it's only one more reason why it's such a fucked up statement.

Yup, if there's any merit to the BI, then Farrell is the most plausible fit. I actually remember the narrative that Farrell was "discovered" by Spacey when he was still a stage actor in Dublin. ETA: Actually, the timeline doesn't really fit since Farrell came to Hollywood at the end of the decade, not the beginning. Hmmm...

Didn't Farrell start to act in late 90s though?

Seth MacFarlane wrote this in 2005. Seth also knew about Harvey so I'm guessing there's more to come out about Spacey (directly or indirectly). Like Weinstein's strange statement about going after the NRA, Spacey's statement seems like he's trying to get ahead of something and gain sympathy.

Apparently, this is Colin Farrell. God, this whole mess is making me want to turn off any/all celebrity news outlets bc everyone's in on it somehow so what's the point anymore. There's accusations, fake apologies, non-apologies, denials, and then a whole host of other secrets to unbury. What do we even do with this information anymore? Should Spacey's Oscar wins be revoked; does Robin Wright need to come out and condemn him like we observed for Birth of a Nation? Does any of it even matter if theres 100 other actors with the same history? Can we/should we separate art from artist. Or does Spacey's acclaim let him get away with things more than the others. Hell, even Affleck had more of a public mob out to get him last Oscar cycle. Or are all these confessions just going to make us desensitized.

I'm sure he has his many supporters in Hollywood who knew he was gay but didnt realize he had a taste for the young meat but as far as public opinion is concerned right now, he is being crucified. Rightly so. Who will be the next?

Hell, even Affleck had more of a public mob out to get him last Oscar cycle. Or are all these confessions just going to make us desensitized. the whole thing is a nightmare cause all parties involved need to be held accountable for his or her actions. You have Rosie tweeting that everyone knew about harvey and then people are giving us fake denials and fake outrage. I don't think anything will change. You will still have people sell their soul to the highest bidder. You will still have parents who pimp out their kids to these pervs and you will still have people turn a blind eye cause they don't wanna lose their paycheck. The whole thing is a disgrace: Power and greed on full display. The biggest concern that I have about this thing is that people need to do due diligence and not just allow people to ignore when some reports it. The same thing happened with Jared of subway. Someone reported it and subway didn't even bother to investigate. And the worst part is that some companies fo a fake investigation and ignore the truth. These companies need to be fined big time aND then they will start acting appropriately.

Remember Stephen Collins , the preacher dad from 7 HEAVEN ? Apparently , he has also molested a young girl a while ago.

Holy fuck
edit: this is either the worst-timed decision ever or the best one if they really are trying to appear like they're doing the right thing. but HOC ending was in the books, soooo i don't know how many brownie points they win if it's the latter.

Looks like Netflix was thinking about cancelling a while back but these allegations made it much easier to pull the plug. Good for them. I'm curious if his acting career is over or will his Hollywood friends rally around him.

Looks like Hollywood is gonna take sexual harrassment very seriously from now on ! And you know what .... ABOUT FUCKING TIME ! I'm still a huge fan of HOC , though and I'm truly gonna miss it. I also feel that that decision ain't really fair for the other members of the cast + crew.
