What’s Going On With Kevin Spacey’s Accusers?
by Kris Malysz, Big League Politics:
Disgraced Hollywood star Kevin Spacey keeps lucking out in court, as cases against him are dropped – sometimes because the accuser dies.
Perhaps best known for his role in the TV show House of Cards, award-winning actor Kevin Spacey was one of the many to fall as a result of the deluge of sexual assault allegations set off by the #MeToo movement. However, whereas the vast majority of these were women, Spacey’s accusers are (almost) all men, some of whom were under 18 at the time of the alleged misconduct.
The first of these was Anthony Rapp, who came out on October 29, 2017, with a story of how Spacey made physical sexual advances toward him when Rapp was only 14 years old. Spacey, in response, expressed horror at the accusation, and immediately pivoted to proclaiming that he was gay, in an apparent attempt to distract from the issue and gain sympathy.
This failed completely, with the LGBT community expressing outrage at the conflation of behaviors, and his apology becoming widely seen as a joke. Since then, as many as 15 men ranging from fellow actors to bartenders have come forward with their own stories, many worse than Rapp’s, describing Spacey’s attempts at physical sexual misconduct.
One of these, an unnamed “former child actor” who claimed to have had a sexual relationship with 24-year-old Spacey when he was just 14, alleged that it ended after Spacey tried to rape him, and stated that he believes Spacey to be a pedophile.
Since his disgrace, the actor has mostly stayed away from public view, aside from court appearances, and two bizarre videos. Conspiracy theories have begun to crop up as some have noticed that his accusers appear to be developing a habit of dying.
The first was 59-year-old Linda Culkin, a nursing assistant who claimed to have been told by a patient that Spacey had groped him. She became obsessed with stalking and harassing the actor, including sending bomb threats, which landed her in legal troubles. On February 25th, 2019, she was struck by a car in Massachusetts and died.
