Kevin Spacey SUED by Anthony Rapp!

Two queens. Only one can emerge victorious!

Teeth bleaching ain’t cheap

This thread will hit 600 posts within three hours.

Hope he takes him to the cleaners.

Anthony will open his statement by singing this

Rapp never seemed traumarized by this incident before Me Too. He always made jokes about I Ihope this gets chucked out.

He shoukd sue he estate of Yul Brynner for being punched in 1985 instead.

Is that drunk Kevin at r6?

Jesus. Get over it. It happened 30 years ago.

Is Ms Rapp's career failing? WTAF?

Are they going to have lip sync for their lives against each other?

I think this is fucking lame. Rapp is ridiculous. Move on.

Anthony needs to get his teeth whitened. Yikes.

The Milky Way

Has Spacey admitted to fumbling around with Rapp? How do you prove something like this? Rapp makes the accusation, Spacey denies it. Will it end with Spacey giving Rapp an "undisclosed" sum to shut up and go away? Did Rapp keep his underwear with Spacey's semen on it? How do you prove this?

And the other thing that has never been explained: what parent allows their 14 year old to wander around NYC alone at night and crash adult parties?

Any guesses who the other person is?

If Anthony Rapp meets a sudden, completely unexpected demise in a freak accident before this ever goes to trial....

Well, you read it here first.

Rapp was having sex with a 30 year old at age 12. Hs was not some delicate ittle flower. Get over it.

I could understand if he was raped or molested but that's not what happened here.

Rapp wants to extend his 15 minutes.

Maybe "Ant" saved the semen-covered blue dress, r14.

Spacey should give him nothing. He already destoryed his career and reputation so he could trend on twitter.

[quote] Rapp wants to extend his 15 minutes.

The only way to do that is to go back in time to 1996 when anybody gave a shit.

That little bitch was in Ed Harris' arms eight shows a week. Forget Spacey, I would have been working Ed Harris.

This will be settled out of court

A good lawyer will dig up Rapp's long and slutty past. Lolito.

Rapp is the worst. Enough already.

R15 ....

He's suing now because he had to file by August 14 or lose his ability to sue.

In 2019 NY State amended its SOL on suing for child sexual abuse. It used to be you had until you were 23 if the abuse happened as a child/minor. The new law extended that to the age of 55 - which I think is outrageous in terms of being able to defend yourself against in such old alleged incidents. But this age extension was just for new alleged incidents so Rapp would have been out of luck.

HOWEVER, the new statute gave alleged victims of child abuse that were beyond the old SOL a one year window to sue before those old claims would be forever subject to the new law and beyond the SOL - August 14, 2020 through August 14, 2020.

^^^ Sorry the open window for suing on old incidents was from August 14, 2019 to August 14, 2020.

I would try to settle but I have a feeling Rapp wants it to be public garnering as much media as possible - for various reasons.

We should sue Anthony Rapp for ruining the final season of House of Cards. That motherfucker. I hope Spacey puts some money on his head and has him wacked.

You can see how young teen Anthony might have suffered damage from his time with Spacey.

R6 I thought it was Ethel Merman who punched him.

No R30. What Ethel did was put him in a small room with just her and she sang "There's no business like show business" at the top of his lungs until young Anthony's ear drums burst.

I believe Rapp, but I can't stand him or his puncahable face.

[quote] Rapp was having sex with a 30 year old at age 12. Hs was not some delicate ittle flower. Get over it. I could understand if he was raped or molested but that's not what happened here.

A 30 year old having sex with a 12 year old is molestation, you piece of shit

Rapp may be completely full of it, or not, but why are so many here rushing to champion Kevin Spacey, a closeted predator who preyed on a number of other, younger men?

Rapp was inveigling his way into a sex-crazed party on his own. What did he expect?

I thought this was the other plaintiff. I had read about him after Rapp went public.

"The complaint says the second plaintiff met Spacey at an acting class in 1981, when the C.D. was 12 years old. The two allegedly met at a later date when Spacey invited the boy to his apartment where, according to C.D., he performed sexual acts with Spacey. On other occasions, the two allegedly engaged in other sexual acts, including what C.D. says was the final meeting in which Spacey attempted to perform a sexual act on the boy before he was able to resist and flee the actor’s apartment, according to the complaint"

According to the story I read "at a later date" was two years later when the boy was 14. They were both at Shakespeare In The Park. The boy had a previous relationship at 13 with his 19 year old cousin.

R33, i got the ages wrong. The other guy was 20 I believe and Rapp was 14. He presented it as a consensual sexual relationship not as sexual abuse.

Pedo alert at R16

Didn't Rapp's mother set the situation up? Pimp mama Rose!

Where are all the pedophile defenders from rhe Alexander Payne thread?

[quote]Lolito

....

The boy was a slut, he knew exactly what he wanted from an older guy.

[quote] Where are all the pedophile defenders from rhe Alexander Payne thread?

The Payne "defenders" were saying that Rose lied and that the truth is that she was an adult at the time.

R40, want to retract your stupid statement and apologize?

Rapp was known for sleeping with men as an underage teen?

Even if that were the case, these adult men should have known better.

Rapp's lawsuit claims that Spacey "groped his buttocks". That detail is missing from earlier retellings.

I believe Rapp, but how can any of this be proven?

Spacey's not settling out of court if his last court case with the busboy is anything to go by. His lawyers are going to rip them to shreds.

I didn't know Spacey was an acting teacher in the 1980s.

I know Anthony Rapp. He's on the up and up.

"Is Ms Rapp's career failing?"

Competition for Gay Best Friend roles is fierce.

I guess since Rapp cannot star in the 178,496th staging of Rent due to COVID, I guess this is the next best means to make some $$.

All Spacey’s lawyer needs to do is dig up some former Rent-heads who were about 15 or 16 in 1996.

They’re out there and have stories.

R52, Yes! Put this hypocritical ginger on blast, Kevin!

C'mon guy, even I'm not that desperate!

How interesting he does this just before Star Trek Discovery new season starts.

MARY!

Jeez give it up bitch.

Both of them are just obnoxious.

I've been so busy this week I only just heard about this.

I honestly have mixed feeling about this. Yes, I think Spacey is guilty and should be held accountable for his actions. But I also think this is a money grab, particularly from two actors who are probably having a few financial issues due to COVID. Lets be honest here.... Rapp has a wedding to pay for and nothing says "I need cash" more than having a Cameo account.

R6, R9 - I read the lawsuit online. I find the "Anthony Rapp has been forced to abstain from the duties of his vocation and has and/or will become obligated to expend sums of money for medical expenses" part of the 'suit so damn ridiculous.

R14, R46 - Remember this is a civil case so all the plaintiffs have to do is prove a "preponderance of the evidence". In other words, if the allegations are more likely than not to have happened. If you read the Vulture story ("CD" is that accuser... the story is exactly the same as the lawsuit), if all the sources of that story were put on the stand, then they can definitely win it. Friends that knew of the allegations years ago, psychologist testimony, other victims of the behavior, proving Spacey & each man in the same space as they allege, etc. These are supports that won't win you a criminal case but will definitely get by in a civil lawsuit. It will be interesting to see how Spacey responds to this. He has 30 days to respond to the lawsuit. But I have a feeling this one he & his lawyers will settle.

R16 - Well if you read Rapp's autobiography, he was presenting plenty of hole during this teenage years.

R17 - Pretty much, but I also think that he's disappointed that Spacey hasn't been "brought to justice" yet. Now Rapp gets his chance.

R19 - What's interesting about this story is that it hasn't trended on Twitter. It made all the rounds online, but not as a major story. Even the likes for tweets reporting the lawsuit were relatively minimal.

R26 - The CVA "look back" window is closing in January 2021. It was extended because of COVID. But they didn't need the window as both men are under the age of 55. So they can sue under the CVA.

R24, R27, R32, R50, R51 - Rapp is a good guy but I hated when he began playing the victim card at every turn. That was annoying.

R35, R45 - I always felt there was something in that story that he's not telling us. No one just happens to stumble into a bedroom after a party, even if you're 14. And from each retelling (Advocate to Buzzfeed to lawsuit), the story slightly changes and becomes more ominous. I still think Rapp is telling the truth but he's obviously milking this.

R55 - No one cares about ST: Disgracery. Its exactly why this lawsuit story didn't get more attention. Rapp is a no name.

Rapp vs Spacey might work as the next Ryan Murphy Feud miniseries.

[quote]Well if you read Rapp's autobiography, he was presenting plenty of hole during this teenage years.

Can you give us details?

I SEE YOU WHITE ANTHONY RAPP

This can only be settled by Spacey and Rapp doing a revival of The Odd Couple. I hope the judge is one for creative solutions.

R62 - The book is called Without You.

He had a relationship with a guy named Ricky (I think he was 19 or 20) the same year of the incident with Spacey. Yet Rapp never mentions the incident with Spacey at all. And he talks about some other experience with another guy. I haven't read it in a while but he isn't shy about sharing the details.

[quote] Rapp vs Spacey might work as the next Ryan Murphy Feud miniseries.

That would be a bit discomfort in coming from a pedo enabler like him. Two words: Mark Salling.

There's just something really opportunistic and drama queenish about Rapp. Spacey is sleazy but Rapp rubs me the wrong way.

Anthony Rapp vs Rose McGowan - who would win the Battle of the Accusers?

Spacey is no peodphile. He was just drunk as fuck and Rapp was somewhere he had no business being. I hope Rapp gets zilch.

Kevin Spacey is counter-suing Rapp for breaking and entering.

R68 I was rapped by Anthony Rape!

This reeks of my career is in the shitter, I'm getting old, and now needs some kind of retirement plan. Support real victims, not this mess.

Spacey’s going to rip him a new asshole in court. His lawyers don’t play. They’re former prosecutors.

I was molested.

R66, How is Murphy supposed to have known what porn Salling was viewing?

Was it the traumatic experience of Spacey trying to hit on him that led Rapp to post those hideous pictures of his pasty white nude body?

[quote][R66], How is Murphy supposed to have known what porn Salling was viewing?

If an untalented homophobic dumbass like Kirk Cameron could correctly identify a child molester on his own show, then Murphy can't play dumb here.

If someone accused you of trying to rape a 14 year old who looked like this and you were innocent, your answer would be:

a) I didn't do it.

b) I don't remember.

We already know Spacey chose b.

Rapp was a little boy slut long before he met Spacey. He’s not the innocent shrieking violet the press presented him as. Spacey’s not giving him a dime. Loves it.

R19 Spacey destroyed his own career with his disgusting actions.

Rapp went there looking for dick and he got it. Stop trying to rewrite history.

If the charges are proven false, then Anthony Rapp should go to jail.

Geez, I guess I lived a sheltered life. I wouldn't have known anything about gay sex at 14. Who was Rapp's teacher?

From what I've read, seems Rapp was the Traci Lords of Broadway — a horny youngster who knew what he wanted, had an opportunity and went after it.

Growing up in the '80s, I knew 13-year-olds in middle school who were fucking much older people. And the next year, several more 14-year-olds in high school were too. By the time you have pubes, you know the score.

Was it right? Legally, no. Would I do it then or now, hell no. Were the kids I knew consenting? More than. Are they entitled to damages today? Hardly. And they would tell you the same thing.

[quote] [R26] - The CVA "look back" window is closing in January 2021. It was extended because of COVID. But they didn't need the window as both men are under the age of 55. So they can sue under the CVA.

Thanks for the info on the window being extended to January.

I believe the 55 age (rather than the age 23 deadline) is the new legislation and it only applies to new alleged incidents of child abuse occurring after the date of the legislation. I thought that was the whole reason why they put in a window - to allow alleged victims of older incidents this one time chance to sue beyond the age of 23, i.e. up to the age of 55, for incidents from the past like Rapp's.

I can't believe there are people here defending a 13/14 year olds having sex with adults. You probably know nothing about neurodevelopment of children and how sex during this period can damage them. Even if they're the ones "starting it"

Something tells me that if 14-year-old me lived in New York City in 1986 and had asked 14-year-old Anthony Rapp to be my boyfriend, he would have said, "I'm kind of seeing someone older—a BROADWAY COLLEAGUE."

Isn't it pathetic that Kevin Spacey went from an Oscar winner and star of a major series to posting cryptic videos on Youtube and posting on Datalounge anonymously?

When this story broke I was surpirsed nobody asked "What the fuck is a 14 year old doing in a grown man's bedroom at 3:00AM?" That would be the first thing asked if this allegation was made against a heterosexual actor. But because Spacey's gay everyone went immediatly into condemmation mode

Spacey was 26 when this alleged incident happened with Rapp. 34 years ago.

And he didn't actually fuck or blow Rapp; he just grabbed his butt and laid on him.

Get me a pro bono lawyer — I'm nobody, but I've got a dozen people to sue! As does anyone who's been to house parties in high school or college.

Anthony Rapp starring in the off Broadway production of J’Accuse!

I'm not going to defend or excuse Spacey's behavior, but as someone who was around that age in 1986 I'll be the first to tell you that we were very independent and very much aware of the world and the situations you can get yourself into.

And... if something bad happened and you told your parents (which was highly unlikely) the first thing your parents would say is what were you doing there in the first place.

[quote] I'm not going to defend or excuse Spacey's behavior,

I am on the grounds that it is a hit job based on guilt by association with Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Anthony Rapp, bye, gurl!

He's got less than 525,600 minutes to live.

Dear Anthony,

Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No day but today!

Jonathan Larsen, Rent

[quote] Rapp's lawsuit claims that Spacey "groped his buttocks".

That's it?

JFC.

Rapp is pathetic.

I'm not defending Spacey but its clear that Rapp doesn't have enough in the till to live post Star Trek. The gigs he's been taking signal that he has to keep working. But I also think this lawsuit is happening because there have been no successful legal actions against Spacey so far. And since Anthony is a victim diva, he has to throw his name in the "Hey, remember me!" space. The lawsuit was reported everywhere, but the lack of attention to it shows how little people care about Spacey or Rapp these days.

So what is the explanation for Rapp even being at Spacey’s apartment that late at night? Was he dropping off a script? Rehearsing a scene?

[quote]So what is the explanation for Rapp even being at Spacey’s apartment that late at night? Was he dropping off a script? Rehearsing a scene?

This is the big question. They weren't even working in the same show, were they? Anthony somehow heard there was going to be a gathering at Spacey's apartment, decided he wanted to try for some Spacey sex and showed up. There has never been any explanation where Anthony's parents were or how he was allowed to roam the city late at night. Nor has there been any explanation as to why he was allowed to stay at Spacey's apartment. If you were hosting an adult party and some 14 year old comes knocking on the door, why would you let him in?

I think Rapp should be able to go along with this suit as long as all the underage boys he seduced online and invited to come meet him backstage after a performance of Rent are allowed to then sue him.

Yeah, I want to hear from the other partygoers to get the context.

Damn. Who knew that his teeth were ginger too?!

The very NIFTY recount of events.

Rapp said he ended up wandering into the bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed, and watching TV well past midnight.

“I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually.”

At some point, Rapp said he turned to see Spacey standing at the bedroom door. And that's when he first realized that everyone else had left the party. They were alone.

“My memory was that I thought, Oh, everybody's gone. Well, yeah, I should probably go home,” Rapp said. Spacey, he recalled, “sort of stood in the doorway, kind of swaying. My impression when he came in the room was that he was drunk.” Rapp doesn't remember Spacey saying anything to him. Instead, Rapp said, “He picked me up like a groom picks up the bride over the threshold. But I don't, like, squirm away initially, because I'm like, 'What's going on?' And then he lays down on top of me.”

Yeah, I ended up wandering into other people's bedrooms and watching TV when I was 14.

Fair point, R106, but if I walked into my bedroom and there was a 14 year old kid I'd call him a cab and send him on his way.

Is he legally able to consent?

That was 1986 R107. Consent is implied.

R108, what do you mean?

Times were different? Perhaps. Sure, they've changed a lot recently.

But legal's legal.

I hope Anthony gets a nice chunk of change from that arrogant piece of crap.

And I hope he donates it to people who have actually been sexually assaulted.

R111 - Bingo!

But I already see it now. Mark my words. If Spacey settles, Rapp is going to send donations to GLAAD, TimesUP, RAINN and some POC equality organization and the world is going to think he's the greatest think since sliced bread. And Anthony Rapp will then officially become the most insufferable person on the planet.

R105. yet people actually think Spacey raped that fugly little whore. I hope Spacey doesn’t settle. He should use this case to ruin Rapp’s credibility and expose him as a sexual predator.

That’s would I would do. But I’m a petty bitch.

If it's not Anthony. It'll be somebody else in a year or so.

How is Rapp a sexual predator, R113?

I'm not R113, but it was common knowledge around Broadway that during Rent, Anthony many times befriended teen boys online who were fans of the show (many times those who were from out of town and had only been exposed to the cast album) and said- If your family comes to town, let me know. I'll get you tickets and then you can come meet me backstage afterwards.

R116 sounds like Spacey trying to assign blame and projecting his own pedo fantasies. Freudian slip right there.

Rapp was in the casting of the Broadway show whose actors were gathering at Spacey's apartment. it's a very well known detail Spacey forgets to mention on this thread, being the pathetic sex addict and pedophile that he is.

Kevin you are a pathetic neonazi pedophile and your career is over, deal with it and stop posting here or keep on going, I'm sure this is as far as you're gonna get to reaching an audience ever in your sad existence.

Gregory Peck sends coded messages to R117 through the hum of her refrigerator.

R112 Most insufferable person on the planet? Hold my beer...

LOL @ R117 thinking Spacey is posting on here. You just can't come to terms with the fact that people don't agree with you. I think Spacey is a predator. But I also think Rapp is looking to compensate (literally) for the career he never had and Spacey did.
