The mainstream media has just done a deplorable act, that should raise many eyebrows. On Sunday night it was revealed that Actor Kevin Spacey sexually assaulted Anthony Rapp, the MSM then proceeded to downplay the allegations by saying Spacey apologized for his assault and that he was gay.
A truly disgusting display of media spin headlines all over read "Kevin Spacey comes out as gay apologizes for the rape of 14-year-old victim," or some form of conjecture.
Reuters published this article that put a major focus on Spacey’s sexuality over the allegation made by Rapp.
That headline read: "Actor Kevin Spacey declares he lives life as a gay man."
After years of refusing to address rumors about his sexuality, Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey said on Sunday he has chosen to live his life as a gay man,” Chris Michaud wrote.
The article failed to mention the allegations by Rapp until the third paragraph. The story has since been edited.
While the New York Daily News originally ran a similar headline: "Kevin Spacey announced Sunday night that he will live as a gay man."
The NY Daily News later changed its headline to include Rapp’s accusation.
Even ABC News faced backlash and was forced to change its headline to include the allegation after it focused on his “emotional” tweet regarding his sexuality, Mediaite reported.
The only outlet who may have gotten it right was People Magazine who led its headline with Spacey coming out while also including the allegation in the most accurate.
"Kevin Spacey Comes Out as Gay After Anthony Rapp Alleges the Actor Made Sexual Advances Toward Him at 14," the headline reads.In an interview with Buzzfeed, Rapp said Spacey picked him up, put him on his bed and "was trying to get with me sexually" in 1986. Spacey would have been 26 at the time."
He 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," Rapp told Buzzfeed.
"He was trying to seduce me," Rapp told the website. "I don't know if I would have used that language. But I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually." He said he felt Spacey "pressing into me" and "tightening his arms."
Rapp told Buzzfeed that he had previously disclosed details of the confrontation in 2001 in an interview with the Advocate, but he did not name Spacey on the record at that time.
The Advocate's executive editor at the time, Bruce Steele, told Buzzfeed that Rapp had been talking about Spacey when he made his anonymous allegations.The media's conflation of sexual orientation and child rape spurred many on Twitter to point out the attempted spin. While Spacey said that he must have been drunk at the time and didn't remember it several users on Twitter said that is no excuse.Ashlee Marie Preston, writer and activist tweeted: "I'm not interested in Kevin Spacey being gay. I'm curious as to why we're conflating sexuality w/ the molestation of a minor. Stay on topic."
"Nope to Kevin Spacey's statement. Nope," tweeted Dan Savage. "There's no amount of drunk or closeted that excuses or explains away assaulting a 14-year-old child."
"The New York Daily News too? Add them to AP, Reuters, ABC News. Awful," Yahar Ali tweeted.

In response to the allegations, Spacey tweeted that he was "beyond horrified to hear Rapp's story."Spacey tweeted: "I honestly do not remember the encounter, it would have been over 30 years ago.
"But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years."

However, Spacey's apology is him shedding crocodile tears as there are way more allegations than just Anthony Rapp that have come out in the past. While the media wants to report that Spacey is gay and he is sorry for sexually assaulting Anthony Rapp there are other cases against the actor. Spacey was fingered as being on infamous mogul Jeffrey Epstein's Lolita Express on at least one occasion.
"In 2002, as New York has reported, Clinton recruited Epstein to make his plane available for a week-long anti-poverty and anti-AIDS tour of Africa with Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, billionaire creep Ron Burkle, Clinton confidant Gayle Smith (who now serves on Barack Obama's National Security Council), and others. The logs from that trip show that Maxwell, Kellen, and a woman named Chauntae Davis joined the entourage for five days," Gawker wrote.
He was also mentioned in another Gawker article being spotted years ago partying with Bryan Singer and a group of boys by one source, a security guard who worked at the Chateau Marmon.Then there is the other more recent allegation by Award-winning Journalist, and Aspiring Filmmaker, Heather Unruh who tweeted that the Weinstein scandal has emboldened her to tell the truth about the actor earlier this month before the scandal broke.

I thought pedophilia was against the law? Apparently not for Hollywood who idolizes director Roman Polanski who was convicted of raping a 13-year-old girl Samantha Gailey and Woody Allen who was accused of raping his own daughter. Instead the media and Hollywood just give a free pass because it's an open secret that any of this type of behavior goes on.
UPDATE:
Kevin Spacey blocked me on Twitter after calling him out for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Bryan Singer.
For those that follow me I alluded that Kevin Spacey was a pedophile with a coded message tweet last Sunday these allegations have been floating around for quite sometime.
A third allegation against Kevin Spacey has been made by a woman named Nadine West, the Dailymail reported.

He was outed back in 1997.
MSM covering for pedophiles.
Very interesting I didn't know this information..
Of course, I got it off of Twitter (which means, who knows what the article is about), but everyone saying that Spacey being gay was another Hollywood Open Secret.
house of cards cancelled due to child abuse claim
https://steemit.com/news/@tone1994/netflix-cancels-house-of-cards-says-it-s-deeply-troubled-over-kevin-spacey-claims
I thought it was already common knowledge that he was out of the closet. Seems to me like spacey and publicist are using it as a shield.
I thought the same thing - it just comes off as a distraction method... No, no, don't look at the rape attempt.. I'mmm gaaaay.. weeeee
That's exactly what it is.
Well, as long as he apologized! I don't get it... it's ok to rape people as long as you say you're sorry afterward???
only if you are a democrat - then it's ok
As long as you apologize afterward... Look at all the great sex I missed out on!!!
The pedophilia isn't just in Hollywood, its also quite prevalent in Washington, DC.
I previously wrote about this check out my article complete with leaks from a former NYPD investigator:
https://steemit.com/news/@an0nkn0wledge/elite-institutionalized-child-sex-abuse-is-a-conspiracy-of-silence
For all we know the law enforcement agencies at the highest levels may also be involved, which is precisely how these crimes may have been covered up for so long. But with the rise of social media, it seems nothing can stay hidden for much longer.
I saw this floating around Twitter as well I think Seth Macfarlane has a lot of revelations within his shows.
Seth seems to a lot of things, but people just think he's joking around.
Damn that's funny, LOL.
But Goddamnit, now we know why he plays such a convincing psychopath on House of Cards. Hell he and the first lady have a 3 way with a secret service agent in one episode.
I saw that part, but not the most recent HOC season. It's supposedly based on the Clintons, I think I need to rewatch it with that in mind after recent events ..
OOhh Yeah, definitely based on the Clintons and I think I'd also like to revisit this series later on. I only watched an episode or 2 of the last season as real life politics this past year has been absolutely insane.
It's based off Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton.
Yup
I mentioned only yeserday about family guy and the simspsons 'uncanny' ability to accurately describe the 'future' and what's really going on behind the scenes.
I think sooner or later it's just going to be easier to make a list of who isn't a pedo in Hollywood.
Ain't that the truth?
Oh shit, I had no idea that Spacey was involved in the Clinton/Epstein abuse circle who trafficked girls (and some boys) around the world.
This is huge.
I updated it on at least one occasion.
Thank you I am an independent investigative journalist check out my other work and throw me a follow I am always breaking something. :)
To be fair, he didn't rape him. Still a deplorable act, and the fact that he took the opportunity to come out is pretty low.
Yeah, I agree that the title is not exactly accurate. 'Molesting' might be a better word here.
good day , you did lots of work on this post great work. i am doing up vote and comment but i need your help.otherwise my power will never grow up. please do up vote and comments for my post.thank you so much.
This shit is getting crazy! Is everyone in hollywood a pedifile? I dont even want to watch movies anymore because i dont want to support this sick fucks in any way shape or form!
This is messed up!
In other words, sharing your non-straight sexuality overshadows pedophilia? This PC culture is a cancer to common sense.
(((OY GEVALT, THOSE FILTHY GOYIM ARE ON TO OUR SCENT!!!!111one)))
And the dominoes in (((HOLLYWOOD))) just continue to fall... one domino, two domino, three domino, four.
Upvoted and reposted for GREAT JUSTICE!
OK, but what I don't understand is apologies. If I assault someone and bring in my apologies afterwards will this be ok? WTF?
Interesting article and I didn't realise he had such a history of this type of thing. I did find it strange when I read the BBC report on it that it put more emphasis on him being gay, rather than trying to seduce a minor. I see Corey Feldman is now going to name names. This should get quite interesting. It's like pulling the toilet chain on Holliwood and flushing out all the crap.
Hi @anonknowledge. . . Thankyou for sharing. . I have followed you . . .
I hope that this is not controlled demolition. I wouldn't wonder, with what has been adressed against some democrats and also republicans and their long time friends and donors, that they'd roll out every deception technic their is. Epidemic, Aliens, Trump is a russian alien.... I don't know. I hope that Hollywood will be seen for what it is.
Great post !
Another deep dark secret Hollywood is trying to hide. We see this often in Hollywood. When will this stop?
Great post

What the hell else is new......... frickin' "FOLLYWOOD!"
Anthony Rapp said that the Harvey Weinstein stuff made him want to reveal what happened to him, and I hope his allegations in turn will encourage other people in the entertainment industry to speak up about other abusers, not just Weinstein and Spacey. We need to purge Hollywood of ALL the rapists.
nice post. upvoted
Wow idc if he's gay, sexual assault is terrible period.
thanks,sir
The title is "rape" but it the body of the article doesn't contain forced sexual intercourse. I hate to go against the angry mob but let us be accurate. It comes down to him touching sexually an adolescent boy. I am not going to argue that's okay, though.
Now there are many straight couples where one is a minor and the other is not. It is legal to marry at the age of 14 in the province of Quebec in Canada given consent of the parents. There must of been some sexual advances before such marriages in most of those cases. It's not quite pedophilia and not quite rape.
There is a lot of legal precedent for this kind of thing but between consenting parties. These were not consenting parties!
The charge he would be facing if statute of limitations wasn't up would be statutory rape of a minor.
Any real lawyers here?
Absolutely ridiculous how easy it has become for famous people to get away with crimes that ordinary people would be thrown in jail for. It's a big club, but we're not in it.
Steem on! I hope it's going well with raising that money to pay off the IRS thugs... I've been supporting with as many upvotes as I can give.
I agree dude completely disgusting..
Rape is rape no matter who does it or what sexuality is involved. I am sorry a multi millionaire Queer should not get any special protections from any one.
Mainstream media is the worst. You only get what they want you to get and 95% of the time the general public is satisfied with that and makes assumptions based on what they are spoon fed. Critical thinking has left the building
Well that's one way to end "The House of Cards! " Soon it will be permissible to legally perform a sexual act with anyone, anything, at any time. If we keep giving it voice then we will just become numb to all of the disgusting rhetoric.
Wow. I never thought that he was gay and being accused of rape.
The excuse that spacey has no memory of this incident is in itself deeply disturbing! The mere fact that it didn't stick in his mind poses far more questions than it answers!!
Most of my friends on FB are very avid movie-goers and by sharing these articles I keep hoping that they wake up to the fact that the actions of Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein aren't anomalies in Hollywood. But they're also very liberal and so emotionally invested in this industry that I doubt they'll make as big of an uproar :( They all pretty much jumped on the #metoo bandwagon but not a peep about the Kevin Spacey allegations.
Even by the most lax definition of the words what Spacey did could not be classified as "Rape" or "Pedophilia"
This article is rife with inaccuracy yet it is trending. I guess this shows what happens when information is crowdsourced by people without an ethical bone in their body, let alone a spine.
No it is not rife with inaccuracy and there are now more allegations against Kevin Spacey and yes it is pedophilia. I am a journalist I write for Activist Post, Natural Blaze and Coinivore. And previously wrote with We Are Change. I have more ethical bones in my body and a bigger spine then you clearly. Also I cited everything so try again.
