The Spin
Narrative A
Kevin Spacey is one of the most talented actors of his generation, and it is time for the court of public opinion to forgive him. Spacey has never been found guilty in a court of law, and it would be unjust to let unproven allegations destroy his career.
Narrative B
Spacey's sob story is convincing nobody. The actor has been accused of misconduct by more than 30 men, and there is a well-established pattern of behavior speaking to his predatory nature. This interview finally sees him admit to this, and while he is a fine actor, it is no excuse for the harm done to his victims.
