A week-ish ago I read about one accusation against Spacey. At the time I thought, one accusation does not a sexual predator make. People make poor judgement calls and mistakes.
Then, the floodgates open. A number of people, a few from as long as 10 years ago, but some that he currently works(ed) with on House of Cards, are now accusing him of innapropriate touching, groping, and agressive sexxual behavior.
Sigh.
It's is right that Netflix let him go. I'm just so disappointed that this behavior is so prevalent! Like, sooo many people turn out to be disturbingly sexually aggressive. I get that in people who seek fame it may be more common as part of the personality type, but yeash. I look at young actors I like now and think, when is it going to turn out to be one of you next?

Quote:Another alleged victim of harassment by Spacey, the Mexican actor Roberto Cavazos, said that Spacey had preyed on men while he was artistic director at the Old Vic. That account was supported by several other accounts in the Guardian from actors and former staff at the theatre, who claimed that Spacey’s inappropriate behaviour was widely known, and that the theatre had turned a blind eye to it.News Article detailing the accusations, fallout, and investigations so far
The allegations against Spacey have continued to take a toll on his professional activities. On Thursday, both Spacey’s publicist, Staci Wolfe, and his talent representative Creative Artists Agency, , while the Dutch bank ING announced on Friday that it had cancelled a planned appearance by Spacey at a business conference it was organising in Rotterdam.
