In reply to the discussion: Kevin Spacey is a pedo?? !! [View all]anneboleyn
(5,626 posts)abused and this is really the first time I've seen more than one or two speak out and also draw attention to their claims without negative, homophobic backlash. Saying that you were a victim of sexual abuse (and considering that Rapp is himself gay) is sometimes very difficult for teenage boys/men to admit. Corey Feldman has been saying for YEARS that young men were being routinely molested in Hollywood. Elijah Wood has said that as a child (pre-pubescent) he was approached, and that his mother always insisted on being present after this occurred at any audition or acting gig. There are a number of others who have just spoken out -- James van der Beek is another.
I love Spacey, but he did admit this happened because he apologized for his "drunken behavior" that's not the same as "I absolutely did not ever do this." To me it's very disappointing. He's a brilliant actor.
