I suppose we won't be seeing American Beauty or The Usual Suspects back on telly for a while now?

I'd hesitate before finding Spacey guilty in the court of public opinion.

Me too, but I think we are in the minority. Assumed innocent is absolutely a thing of the past now. And it's not just Spacey, it's how every allegation seems to be handled these days - I blame Facebook, Twitter and LBC, although not necessarily in that order. Bah.

They are also legitimate platforms for some people to have their voice heard, in a society where some may not want to go to court through fear or as is also the case, lack of finance. These streams of information can be very useful!

I don't disagree in a way. But it's far too easy to ruin people - the virtual equivalent of the pitchfork mob springs up incredibly quickly.

Michael Jackson was a paedophile, but I don't remember his music disappearing for long.

It's a bit alarming that The Old Vic has set up its own 'confidential complaints process'. There are plenty of stories about his predilections knocking about but none that he's done anything remotely similar re underage boys. I for one hope there's nothing more to this story; there'll be not an iota of pleasure to be had should there be.

And so it begins, Tony Montana a film maker is alleging Spacey groped him in a LA pub! Apparently he suffered PTSD for six months after the alleged incident! What a complete melt! An insult to those people who have truly been involved In traumatic events and needed help!

About to finally go bang for KS, have to ask why the Old Vic employed him as artistic director for over a decade!

PTSD for 6 months after getting your nads felt up in a club? Really?? As someone previously diagnosed with PTSD I call bullshit on that. I suspect he is eyeing up a decent payday in the future.
