    We had a lawsuit accusing Jerry Jones of groping and many wild stories of his party bus. Nobody cared. Not then anyway.

    Nice headline.

    If this was the only story, his coming out would probably be enough to overshadow it.

    But, it’s unlikely to be the only story.

    Will Spacey be able to use his orientation to survive this, publicly? We all know if this was a middle-aged man doing this to a 14-year-old girl, he'd be on the path to having to film Seasons 6 and 7 of House of Cards from Belgium and not Baltimore.

    Every house of cards comes tumbling down at some point.

    Wasn't there a discussion here about a mag writer who outed Spacey?

    More like he is apologizing for the behavior and blaming it on drunkenness, but it certainly sounds like a weak apology at best.

    I wonder if others are seeing more stories that get less attention because the people involved aren't famous. For example, a principal at a local high school here was "transferred" out of the building after accusations of sexual harassment by a teacher.

    This isn't so much directed at you but is there fucking EVER an apology that is good enough for this place?

    What exactly would you (tú or ústed) like to hear when it comes to a "real" apology?

    Spacey being gay has been a pretty open secret. The underage part I'd never heard before.

    I’m not sure there is an acceptable apology for climbing on top of a 14-year-old seeking sex.

    It’s going to come out that this wasn’t a one time thing.

    His apology is all PR.

    But, hey, it’s good enough for this guy, who’s a big shot in the industry.

    And we all know that if this was a 26 year old woman climbing on top of a 14 year old boy there'd be high fiving all over and a new Poin file.
