Seth MacFarlane knew it 10 years ago.
Kevin Spacey Came Out
Itās not like it was a surprise. Only the part about going after 14-year-olds was a surprise.

Heās a coward for using coming out as a diversion of allegations against him.

I thought it was common knowledge?
I assume heās got PR people who advise him, so Iām amazed they thought theyād pull off a stunt like this. Itās backfired massively.
EDIT: Actually, itās such a dumb move that I can only assume he did it off his own bat. I think a lot of these stars get so out of touch that they lose all self-awareness. He probably thought people would feel sympathy for him if he came out.
I had the same impression. It sounded like:āHey, I might have molested some young kidsā¦but at least Iām gay! Am I right, guys???āā¦I mean, wtfā¦was he trying to pull a Polanski?

Or not
When I saw the article, I was thinkingā¦coming out as what? And what does gay have to do with itā¦ Iām not too quick to throw stones though. i married at 18 to a great fellow who is 10 years older than me. 34 years of marriage so I guess the age difference was ok for us. 14 is a lot different than 18
Effective virtue signaling is difficult when youāve just been accused of being a child molester.
I had the impression he had already revealed that part of his personality in interviews.
Awful timing. Not appropiate. Not helping.
so i just read it. spacey was 26, and was partying with a 17 year old (who i can only assume was also gay) and this guy who was 14(also gay). later when there was nobody left spacey(drunk) picked this kid up and then layed on him. sure its harassment and its creepy but iāve heard of far worse. i wouldnāt put him in the same category as the singer from lost prophets. sorry if iām not outraged about it.
First the Harvey Weinstein joke, and now this Stewie clip. I guess Seth is pretty plugged in to the Hollywood rumor mill. Who knows how many more of these soothsayer nuggets he has hidden in his show? Finally thereās a reason to watch āFamily Guyā again.

So I had to go and look up what he was accused of, and I was kinda surprised. Yeah, it was ā¦ deeply icky, but hardly āabuseā. Apart from the age difference (he was 26 at the time), what happened was no worse than what goes on at the average frat party.
Assuming thatās not the only skeleton in his closet (and honestly, itās just a single bone of indeterminate origin) I thought his response to the accusation was appropriate and adequate. TBH Iām getting a bit sick of minor celebrities doing the oooh, oooh, I was abused too thing. Seems there are some genuine psychos and some genuine victims of serious assault. Asserting that somebody who stroked your hair or patted your ass has left you traumatized for life is a bit much.

Who exactly made you guys the All Seeing Arbiters of what does and what doesnāt constitute āabuseā??
What colossally stupid egoism.
Next time someone marginalizes or disaffects you based on your skin colour, you better check with me first, Iāll let you know if you have the right to be offended.
Iām not saying it didnāt happen. Or saying it isnāt wrong if it did. But Iām not even 30 yet. And I canāt remember many sober nights 5 years ago to detail. So I guess, isnāt it entirely possible Kevin spacey really doesnāt remember something that happened 30 years ago when heās drunk with a person Iāve never heard of? He didnāt deny it, he just said I donāt remember doing that but if I did Iām sorry.
What Spacey did to the 14-year-old may or may not constitute abuse (it sounds abusive to me, but I wasnāt there). Weāll probably never know the answer to that. But with trial by media these days, he gets punished either way.
Whoa, I didnāt even realize that. I just remember him from Rent (uh, I had to watch it for work).
Thatās not really my point. Iāve never heard of this guy but thatās not really important. Iām just saying, 30 years is a long time. If he doesnāt really remember this particular event even if did happen. Whatās he going to say? Denying it makes you look like a asshole, but Iām certainly not going to throw myself on the sword when I really donāt remember it happening. And with everything going on, itās not like he has time to sit on it. And heās not in a court of law. He canāt prove it didnāt happen and the other person isnāt trying to prove it happened. I feel like maybe the coming out was unnecessary but he just simply said he doesnāt remember but if it did Iām sorry.
