Kevin Spacey. Bill Cosby. Danny Masterson. Steven Tyler. Anthony Kedis.

They are all gross now that I know more about them; some moreso than others.

cringey how miley kunis and asthon kutcher were shilling for him, and then fleeing to the europe, because they are facing criticism or connection to him/ SA. Ellen did the same thing with diddy.

I kind of feel for people who were close with people who were outed as sex offenders, because they didnt come in on monday "Hey, Danny! How was your weekend?" "Bro I spiked a girls drink and raped her in my car, it was awesome." I worked with a guy for years, his daughter had "issues" and then one day it came out that he was a sexual abuser of his own daughter. Which explained her mental health issues. In that case he quit his job, got his affairs in order and pled guilty. But I still remember thinking he was a great guy, until he wasnt... now I'm going to find it really hard to not pop his nose out the back of his fucking head if I ever run into him again.

Now throw in the potential "attention seeking" behaviors that could happen with famous people, people hoping for a payout, jilted exes and someone you have known for years swearing up and down they didnt do it... Id want to support my friend too.

manipulators can be either party though. You have the manipulators swearing they didnt do it and you have the manipulators trying to extort.

You also have people who don’t understand what they did was rape and while they claim they didnt rape: the details are exactly that.

And often rapists are more believed over a rape victim.

Hence why it often takes multiple victims for a rape charge.

Also false accusation is not the same as inconclusive.

Lots of nuance.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, its rare that its definitively proven either way. I'm saying that I dont blame people for wanting to believe their friends and family are innocent when accused of rape famous or not.

To be fair, RHCP has never been more than 75% awesome

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah honestly I debated putting that one in. Under the Bridge is a solid song, and flea and the drummer are independently good.

Honestly just wanted to remind people he admitted to dating a 16 year old when he was 24.

I feel like I'm the only one who was always creeper out by Kevin Spacey. American Beauty just seemed like blatant confirmation he was no good to me.

For me Bill Cosby was not surprising. Danny Masterson was disappointing. I havent yet heard what Steven Tyler or Kevin Spacey did and now I'm afraid to Google it. I have no idea who Anthony Kiedis is.

...just looked them all up...sigh, yeah. I'm with you. It does make it impossible to appreciate the art with that knowledge.
