Kevin Spacey has recently come out
as a gay man after allegations of an unwanted sexual advance towards Anthony
Rapp when he was just a fourteen-year old boy. In 1986, these two actors were
working on the set of Broadway together. Spacy 26 at the time, claims he does
not remember the incident. Spacey recently admitted to having sexual encounters
with both men and women, but recently angered many fans by coming out as gay
right after sexual harassment and misconduct incidents. Why come out of the closet
now? Is it to cover up the recent story involving these allegations? Kevin Spacey
had turned the serious topic of sexual assault into being the victim of the
situation. Blaming it on a night where he had drank too much alcohol and got “handsy”
as a result. I mean come on Kevin; we can’t just use the gay card to get your
life back on track with your career.
A Two time Oscar winner, Kevin Spacey
currently plays a powerful position as a government authority in the Netflix
series “House of Cards”. Rapp became public about this issue because of the recent
sexual assault and harassment claims involving Spacey and women. With huge
criticism of his actions, Netflix has become a toxic work environment, with a
production assistant accusing him with physically assaulting her. With rumors
of Netflix canceling production of any new episodes of the new season, Spacey
has left everyone shocked and confused. Kevin Spacey’s actions towards men such
as groping has shed a negative predatory nature for the actor. I believe Netflix
had made the appropriate decision to cancel the show to show to demonstrate no
tolerance for such behaviors towards cast members, men, and women he has
sexually violated. Kevin Spacey’s ruthless behavior on the show casts the
perfect masculine role in which he pushes the limits to get what he wants: status
and power. In this situation his aggressive predatory nature will not be
tolerated. Kevin Spacey has bestowed emotional and psychological harm around
him. Treating people like sexual conquests is inappropriate and should not be
accepted in the workplace or elsewhere.
