Kevin Spacey: al descubierto

Sexual harassment and sexual assault isn't a joke and neither is Kevin Spacey's predatory lifestyle preying upon hopeful young men looking thanks break in to acting. How many people did Spacey have to pay settlements too? How many signed NDAs in exchange for a settlement?

Spacey reminds me of Darrien in Baby Reindeer. Maybe Kevin Spacey is Darrien?

When I look at Spacey I see a psychopath.

No one should make excuses for Spacey's behavior or criticize the reactions or motives of the men he assaulted. He has been in positions of great power and has misused it horrendously.

Kevin has a predilection for preying upon young men - many - if not most - are heterosexuals.

I think the documentary so far, two episodes, is shocking to say the least. This type of behavior is probably more common than people think. The industry is tough and people do pull power plays on people to get what they want. The Documentary is based on a number of men that haven't been to court, but lives have been negatively affected by the interactions with this person. Mr. Spacey's up bringing seems to be at his core, you have to watch to see what I am referring too. I was struck by the look in the eyes of Mr. Spacey, they to me anyway look evil. Sorry, but watching this, I can't imagine that he is not more like his character in Seven than how he is portrayed on screen doing interviews or those creepy YouTube videos. I have never watched House of Cards, figured I would get around to it in time, but I won't watch anything with him in it. I felt very bad for the people trying to get into the business and being preyed upon by people like this. It's really sad and life changing for the victims. Watch the first episode, and you will feel like you need to go scrub with soap in the shower.

Power, sociopathy, and Hollywood. What's new? Inseparable. I notice Kevin's team are clearly online here trying to vote down all of the positive reviews. Fanboyism and hero worship is such a classless American trait.

The anecdotes of people who Kevin manipulated into attempting sexual encounters with is just a common theme in Hollywood. What did I take away from this documentary? That Kevin clearly had a dysfunctional view of life, sex, boundaries, and interpersonal relationships. Perhaps if he had sought quality help for himself at a much younger age, he'd still be around today, acting, and not trying to initiate abusive relationships. Unfortunately for victims of severely dysfunctional parenting, like Kevin, it becomes a sad existence.

It is right, of course, that courts demand high standards of proof. Actor Kevin Spacey has, to date, been acquitted of all charges brought against him; but this programme, featuring a series of interviews with men claiming to be the victims of sexual abuse commited by him, tells a sadly convincing story. Spacey's actions were mostly low-level, but clearly deeply upsetting to those they were directed against, and what we see is a portrait of a systematic predator. Most interesting (and tragic) is his brother's story of their abusive father, who may have established a broken model of how to behave in his younger son's mind. There is of course a second story, about how this behaviour was known and tolerated. You can't say this is a fun programme, but it's a necessary watch.

I don't know why anyone would object to the revelations by the men who bravely came forward to report these horrific interactions with Spacey. The men came forward knowing the risk to their hopes of careers in Hollywood. It's really cynical that he was exonerated from sexual assaults. His performances in films only acknowledges his behaviors. Cynical perversion, his performances actually enforce what these brave men reveal about their experiences. Like most cinephiles, i have watched and enjoyed his performances...till watching this series. So sad for the men who were subjected to his perversion. He's a true creep.
