Not a fan of showbiz gossip but I hated having to hate Spacey for being a predator. I love his acting and I am happy I can go back to loving the actor

Spacey's had a bad rep in the industry for his behavior for awhile - he was a well known bully on set, and it was a running joke in LA in the 2000s that if you're young and male, you don't get in a cab with Kevin. That being said, I'm not surprised the verdict came down this way - male sexual assault victims are marginalized to the point of invisibility, and mocked when they make a stand.

I have no doubt that he's guilty of what he was accused of and suspect there are probably more victims. The results of this trial speak more to his wealth and power than to his innocence.
