So Anthony Rapp made it all up?!?


I know this is old news, but wtf?!?

We talk about an event happened behind closed doors 40 years ago. Its word agains word and in this case, by law Kevin Spacey was found innocent. But lets say it like this: It was long before an open secret in Hollywood that Spacey like young man.
So is it true? Maybe. But for me Spacey found only innocent as it could not be proven that he did it.

Do I hate Spacey? No, as I am aware there were never allegations that he drugged people (against their will) like e.g. Bill Cosby did. He is just morally despicable, and even if we would publically punish that, I don't see Spacey as a frontrunner.

I could be wrong but didn’t a close and personal friend of Rapp at the time of said accusation come forward and testify that Rapp not only lied about his age but also his whereabouts, that he wasn’t even at the party to begin with?
I understand that this doesn’t clean Spacey’s slate so to speak as it doesn’t speak for other individuals he may have victimized but as far as Rapp is concerned, wasn’t he caught red handed in his lies as well as having zero credibility at this point?

I have searched the internet now for this allegation and the ONLY source I could find was a definitely not neutral party, who at best is just a die hard Kevin Spacey fan. I even read through the lawsuit papers and learned, that Rapp was even not the only one, as another anonymous person also filled complain against Spacey.
Let's say it like this, if he lied, Spacey would be for sure going against Rapp publicly for slander and lying under oath. Especially with the new allegations coming from the fresh released documentary, this would be a great counter information campaign.

Rapp is a homosexual

*shocked face*

John Barrowman was there and testified and said no such thing happened. He was 19 at that time.

People lie about this kind of stuff often, for money, notoriety, revenge for perceived slights, or because they're sociopaths. It is completely possible Rapp made it up.

reply

And every bit as likely, and probably more likely, that he did not make anything up.
When a trial like this goes on for so long, and Spacey said he paid millions to lawyers and is broke now. Lawyers are $1000 / hour and then investigators.

I don't care I don't want to see his ugly face in anything I watch in the future. He is ugly too.

reply

Think he did it to get some of that metoo fame .

reply

He wanted quick cash, Anthony Rapp!

reply

No he didn't. It's just that he can't prove it. Only video or audio can prove it. And Spacey victims could not put secret recording device. It's hard to prove such things. But it doesnt mean they didnt happen.

reply

Probably. He got a role as a gay guy on "Star Trek: Discovery" and needed to establish his status as a "victim." So, he had to make up a victim story.
