It’s so weird to me how just three weeks ago there was absolutely no trace of his behavior. And two and a half weeks later they just keep coming. Were there ever any hints or stories before about how fucked up he is?
It's wild that all these people are apparently too scared to be the first. How do you get 20 allegations and not only does nothing come of it, but not a word is even spoken publicly about it?
Yeah I think this is big. One of the biggest things I took away from Cosby's victims speaking out (as well as Weinstein's and others who followed) is that you better hope the guy who did something to you has at least 3 other victims willing to speak out and even then people might not want to believe you.
It sounds like you'd have to be an insider to know. It doesn't get publicly reported, but there was plenty of gossip. So unless you hang out with Hollywood or theatre types, you probably wouldn't hear about it.
Yes, it was basically an open secret that he was gay and really liked to hit on younger men. Only now are people actually coming forward with actual accusations, because the floodgates are already open.
Yes. I'm barely connected to anything (I work in theater, not film), but his preference for youngsters has been discussed for years. And in the last month or so, once other guys started being held accountable for their reputations of sexual misconduct, I kept seeing the question pop up on Twitter, "When's the shoe going to drop on Spacey?"
