‘We all knew about u’: Rosie O’Donnell slams Kevin Spacey, says ‘too many’ to call out

Rosie O’Donnell had strong words in response to Spacey:

u don't remember the incident – 30 years ago? – XXXX u kevin – like Harvey we all knew about u – I hope more men come forward @KevinSpacey

“knowing” in the sense of hearing rumors is different than “knowing” in the sense that really allows someone to take action.

I agree, but — and I am not criticizing Rosie O'Donnell per se here — I think pointed Twitter criticisms such as hers are ill advised. This Brave New World of hurling serious accusations at people in public forums — as opposed to in civil or criminal courtrooms — and having the world declare people “Guilty” without a trial is frightening. We don't mind when the people being accused are as unsavory as Harvey Weinstein, but the practice is not going to stop with Weinstein or Kevin Spacey. Rosie O'Donnell, who, for all her faults, is someone who would not hurt a child, in my opinion. Yet, she does happen to have an angry adopted child out there who already has denounced her in the media. What is Rosie O'Donnell going to say if that child should make spurious allegations of sexual abuse? By sending out this tweet about Kevin Spacey, O'Donnell has endorsed the guilty-without-a-trial mentality, as well as the nobody-lies-about-sexual-abuse argument.

Remember this...

"I'm not married, and I won't talk about my private life, so it must mean I'm gay," Spacey says in Playboy.

While calling the offending story (Esquire's "Kevin Spacey Has a Secret") "infuriating" and "made-up," the L.A. Confidential star says he has used its insinuations to his advantage.

"There are a few women who think the article might be true. For them, it's a challenge," Spacey says. "They want to be the ones to turn me around."

"[And] I let them."




Yeah, right! Who did he think he was kidding?

[Spok]

I always knew he was gay. I figured being a pedophile was just a given.

I largely agree with your post, but I hope it doesn’t extend to historical figures accused of crimes. I’m being accused by another Freeper of leading a lynch mob because I contend that Lee Harvey Oswald was guilty!

[kosciusko51]

I find it fitting that ‘#’ was known as the pound sign before twitter...

[Smedley]

“like Harvey we all knew about u”

And you said and did NOTHING, Rosie O’Donuts

[BwanaNdege]

Freepers, do not be to hard on Rosie O’Donnell!

The adage, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” obviously does NOT apply to Rosie O’Donnell since she is neither male nor is she good.

Hollywood is eating itself.

And Rosie’s eaten a lot.

And Rosie’s eaten a lot.

She ain't exactly pretty, ain't exactly small.

I wouldn’t doubt there are a lot of NAMBLA members in the fondlewood crowd. But you are correct. Don’t hear much about it any more. Underground?

[End Times Sentinel]

Can’t believe I’m writing this, but in fairness to Rosie, “knowing” in the sense of hearing rumors is different than “knowing” in the sense that really allows someone to take action.

It's a solid point, but if she's really that outraged about it, shouldn't she have tried to convince one of the victims to come forward about it?

[Mr. K]

That’s good! Thank you for posting

This is how many children are recruited into the sodomite ranks.

I would love to know what percentage of sodomites were raped as boys. I've got to think it's the majority.

Unfortunately, since that's extremely un-P.C. we may never know.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Yes of course you’re right. But everyone wants to show outrage today. At least she’s not going full Whoopie and talking about “rape rape.”

[ClearBlueSky]

Blood in the water -now they are eating their own. This could very well be the BEST entertainment Hollywood has ever produced.

[utahagen]

No, I don't have a problem with debating the guilt or innocence of public figures when actual crimes have been committed (by somebody)!

I'm talking about what is going on right now: somebody makes a statement about something that was supposed to have happened many years ago that that person could have reported to the police, but didn't. Out of perhaps understandable sympathy for the accuser, many people call the person accused a, say, “Rapist”, and that person is branded as such, even though he has not received a trial and has publicly denied the charge. As I posted earlier, nobody really minds when the person accused is Harvey Weinstein...but the third or tenth person so accused and “tried” may be someone who is entirely innocent and have no financial resources and no powerful friends. We are headed in a scary direction.

“Blood in the water -now they are eating their own. This could very well be the BEST entertainment Hollywood has ever produced.”

It’ll be amusing for a while, but you can bet the lefties are plotting to take down a few conservatives, and the right-wingers may very well be innocent. However, by then, the pattern will be established: anyone publicly accused of sexual improprieties, no matter how many decades ago they were supposed to have happened, is “guilty”, because “no [self-anointed] victim lies about sex”.

[nickcarraway]

Too many so she won’t try?
