Kevin Spacey Sexually Assaulted a 14 Year Old Boy, Comes Out to Help People Forget
Kevin Spacey hit on a 14 year old Anthony Rapp when he was in his mid-20s, apparently pretty aggressively. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Rapp has since been forced to star in Star Trek: Discovery, a terrible show on CBS: All Access, the worst streaming service available today. Rapp shared the story with Buzzfeed on Sunday.
“My memory was that I thought, Oh, everybody’s gone. Well, yeah, I should probably go home,” Rapp said. Spacey, he recalled, “sort of stood in the doorway, kind of swaying. My impression when he came in the room was that he was drunk.” Rapp doesn’t remember Spacey saying anything to him. Instead, Rapp said, “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.”
“He was trying to seduce me,” Rapp said. “I don’t know if I would have used that language. But I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually.”
Spacey responded to the allegations with a statement on Twitter earlier today.

The “I don’t remember trying to bang a teenager, but I’m totes gay” thing is weird, and a lot of famous gay people are really mad about it.
Nope to Kevin Spacey's statement. Nope. There's no amount of drunk or closeted that excuses or explains away assaulting a 14-year-old child.

Kevin Spacey has just invented something that has never existed before: a bad time to come out.

Meanwhile, on the internet, someone pointed out Family Guy made a joke about this a decade ago. Family Guy and 30 Rock writers were very plugged into what the rumors in Hollywood were, I’m assuming people are about to start mining these shows for leads on the next big scandal.

And finally, of course, the Kevin Spacey Defense has already become a meme.
