      Yeah. I don’t think he’ll win a lot of people over, but at least he’s showing that even he has something resembling standards.

      Is it? I doubt Subway’s Jared Fogle was ever with Epstein, but I don’t really need Jared’s opinion on Epstein.

        I think he wants it released so he can say “see? I’m not in there, no I’m not one of them like you thought” and hope people will forget that pedophilia can happen outside of that island.

          Oh I agree with your assessment, but its completely self serving on Spacey’s part. He doesn’t actually care about what happened to the Epstein victims. He’s just using this as an opportunity to say “See? I’m not as bad as them. I’m on your side. Look how much they suck. See how much we have in common?”

      Idk.

      Tbh, I thought so as well. Then I was like… “wait, what did he actually do?”

      People also ask

      What did Kevin Spacey actually do?

      In 2017, Spacey faced several allegations of sexual misconduct. In 2018 and 2019, Spacey faced multiple criminal investigations; however, in each case Spacey was either not charged or the charges against him were dropped. He has denied the accusations and was found not liable in a 2022 lawsuit in New York

      I’m not saying he’s not a gropey bastard or something, but the facts seem to say he’s not convicted of any sexual mosbehaviour and idk if the accusations ever included anything super serious. There’s a ton of fucking allegations, so he’s most likely very much into younger guys, but I don’t know if I’d say “kids.”

      So idk, when people this questionable start having the moral high ground on the president of the US, shit’s bad. Is my opinion.

        I knew about this a decade earlier from two sources including one whose brother was stalked by him

          I started driving a taxi when I was 18 (I had the training but technically you need to be 19.5 for the permit even though I had a license, it was my dad’s taxi) and the amount of older men who are into teenage boys was… surprising, to say the least.

          Not that two (or a dozen) wrongs make a right. I’m just commenting with my own experiences.
