    Those 3.06 mins were way better than the whole of House of Cards Season 6. Frank has the last laugh.

    Most of the comments say that on Youtube

    It's very odd and very creative
    Looks like KS is coming out fighting!

    Why be Frank and not Kevin?

    It all seemed very very scripted like all them words were spoke once upon a time in politics.

    As did Paul gambiancini, Cliff Richard, Jim Davidson, Nigel Evans, Jimmy Tarbuck and Harvey Proctor...all accused falsely and since declared innocent.
    Spacey May well be guilty of what he is accused of but I would not be rushing to tar and feather him until convicted of wrong doing.

    Forgot William Roache as well, probably the biggest star of the lot.

    Has Spacey ever commented on this either way?

    Dunno if you have actually done any research on what he’s been accused of but it’s multiple people and multiple allegations.

    Personally I never want to see spacey ever again. He turns my stomach.

    without wanting to appear to condone any sort of behaviour with underage minors - if he's done what he's accused of that would make him a pederast..

    while still vile - it's a long way from pedophilia in my mind

    I can’t wait for him to return to be honest. He’s a great fella altogether. As an actor, like.

    Seems like he is saying that he is innocent of what he is charged with and that when he is found not guilty that he wants the fans to demand the return of Frank Underwood.

    Why would you bring due process to a Lynch party?

    In a world of trial by social media.

    I have to look at it from his point of view.

    People are quick to ruin your live by believing anything they read on the internet.

    Dangerous times.

    That was strange.

    I love him as Frank Underwood, and certainly there's a few points well made about the whole "trial by social media" era we're in... But releasing a video in character now - presumably as a response to the allegations and the new charges - is just very, very odd.

    Not sure what the end result he's trying for is. As much as I think most fans missed him from season 6, a TV show does not trump real life crimes (if indeed he is ultimately found guilty and convicted).

    As I said.. strange

    Was Kevin Spacey a sexual predator? Probably. Did he use his position? Probably. But funnily enough he kept getting hired and hired. What formal complaints emerged over his career? **** all . Not great. Not a great culture.
    So where does he go from here? Not prison. Compensation yes
    But he deserves a chance to move on yes he does.

    If it didn't look like he recorded it in his kitchen then I'd say it was intriguing. Instead, I assume he had a few too many and thought it was a cracking idea.

    Just out of curiosity.

    What is the critical number for multiple allegations?

    I mean the number that makes it true.

    Generally in terms of pursuing convictions it's related to multiple reports with similar details. Eg Cosby had a tendency to drug multiple victims plus all details are not public knowledge. Cases like this tend to only be pursued if significant evidence.

    Around 20 people have made allegations about his sexual advances or sexual assault. He is a sick human and unfortunately there will be misguided people trying to defend him because he is a well known actor.

    I wouldnt defend him but neither will I condemn him until he is actually found guilty of wrongdoing

    Spacey has just been charged with federal sexual assault in the state of Nantucket so this video surfacing is no coincidence. I find this video beyond disturbing. Frank Underwood is a loathsome morally repugnant character, so to use him as a vehicle to press home some kind of point about the real truth is perplexing. If anything it demonstrates a misjudged narcissistic defiance. It also could be admissible in the prosecution's case, in that it could be construed as intimidation. :eek:

    It's more than just perplexing...it's creepy.

    I think Spacey has lost it. He lives in his own hype (as Frank Underwood) believing that this can somehow save him...all the while overlooking that Frank Underwood is one of the most immoral fictional characters ever created, certainly not the type of person you'd want to speak up for you in court (real or social media)

    and btw..the acting certainly was sub par in this clip

    Regarding any allegations I would say let justice take its course.

    As for his reputation in Hollywood it appears to be ruined.
