Yeh my thoughts exactly. Where is the proof? Funny how the story only comes out after the supposed victim has got a bit of a career going
Also, consider this:
Rapp's show, Discovery, is the first series designed specifically for the new CBS streaming service. CBS understands that they are entering a pond in which Netflix is the big fish. Then, conveniently, these allegations come out and shut down production of one of Netflix's heavy hitters. Netflix has a lot of ads that feature this show, with Kevin Spacey's face displayed prominently. Now, Netflix has to scrap those ads and rebrand things.
Now, let me be clear. I'm not saying that these allegations are false. They are probably true. But even if they are, guilty people should still be entitled to a fair shake when they are accused of something. Instead, this whole situation wreaks of manipulative industry politics bullshit.
Maybe Spacey did something wrong. Alcohol can result in people making poor choices, even criminal ones. But Rapp shouldn't be immune from criticism just because of his claim to victim status. It should be ok to question his story and how he chose to handle it.
