Kevin Spacey Accused of Groping Filmmaker Tony Montana, Sexually Harassing Young Actors at Theater

Kevin Spacey Accused of Groping Filmmaker Tony Montana, Sexually Harassing Young Actors at London Theater

Following allegations that Kevin Spacey made a sexual advance toward an underage actor in 1986, more accusations of misconduct have surfaced. Filmmaker Tony Montana tells Radar Online that Spacey groped him in 2003 while the two were at a bar in Los Angeles. “I went up to order a drink and Kevin came up to me and put his arm around me,” Montana says. “He was telling me to come with him, to leave the bar. He put his hand on my crotch forcefully and grabbed my whole package.” Montana says Spacey then told him, “This designates ownership.” After Montana removed Spacey’s hand from his crotch and left, Spacey allegedly followed him into the bathroom. Montana says Spacey appeared intoxicated. “I backed him out the door and I pushed him,” he says. “One of his friends was in line and I said, ‘It’s time to take your boy home.’ They all ended up leaving.” Montana says he previously spoke about the alleged groping only to his therapists and that he suffered from PTSD in the six months after the incident.

Actor Roberto Cavazos, who performed at London’s Old Vic where Spacey served as artistic director from 2004 to 2015, claims Spacey routinely preyed on young male actors at the theater. “It seems the only requirement was to be a male under the age of 30 for Mr Spacey to feel free to touch us. It was so common that it even became a local joke (in very bad taste),” he wrote on Facebook. Cavazos describes multiple stories of Spacey arranging “picnics” at the theater with actors to discuss their careers where he would inappropriately touch them. “I myself had a couple of nasty encounters with Spacey that were on the verge of being called harassment. In fact, if I had been a woman, I probably wouldn’t have hesitated to identify [them] as such,” he wrote. Cavazos says there are likely to be more accusations made against Spacey from people who worked at the Old Vic, and that he “wouldn’t be surprised if they were numbers like Weinstein.” In a previous statement, Spacey said he could not recall the alleged incident with the minor but apologized.

So, Spacey is a raging drunk who is only gay when drunk?

Whatever.

I’m so HAPPY to see Hollyweird eating their own, so to speak!

“This designates ownership”

Sounds like a scene from one of his movies. Also easy to visualize him delivering a line like that.

It is unsettling whenever someone touches you like that! In my case I was about 12 years old, an innocent child. My brother in law tried to rape me. I told my sister, she laughed, said he was trying to prove I was a ( - - - - ). I had never even been kissed. That was about 54 years ago, it still hurts.

That is terrible, and even worse that your sister reacted like that. Did she remain married to that creep?

Yeah, blame the victims instead of the monstrous predators. Completely heartless, and I might add, sickening.

Very strange thing.

I think I've mentioned my late and sudden interest in The Birds by Aristophanes. I have perused this and found it to be very relevant to these issues. For one thing, I found a 25 minute video of a lecture by some guy on Plato's Symposium, in which he declares Aristophanes a genius for "his" ( the work is a fiction of Plato ) description of the "hermaphroditic" original race of conjoined humans, either male-male, female-female, or male-female, who were subsequently split by an incomprehensible process, ( if you look it it up, ) into male and female individuals.

So, erotic attraction depends on which sort of pair you were originally ... which makes no sense whatsoever! ... but no problem, it's all a joke. But this guy says no matter, it shows how right and true were the instincts of Aristophanes.

Well, then I'm perusing THE BIRDS, and here's this early on, where one of "our heroes" describes the ideal abode he is seeking:

PISTHETAERUS I want a town where the father of a handsome lad will stop in the street and say to me reproachfully as if I had failed him, "Ah! Is this well done, Stilbonides! You met my son coming from the bath after the gymnasium and you neither spoke to him, nor embraced him, nor took him with you, nor ever once twitched his parts. Would anyone call you an old friend of mine?"

See, this is "opposite talk". One would expect, ( even then ) that the father might accuse him of such deeds, but his ideal is that it would be expected of him.

Ironic to me that I should be reading this just as Kevin Spacey is being castigated and ostracized for equating homosexuality to pederasty.

I hope you are following me! It's a labyrinth.

And since LGBTers tend to be narcissistic attention seekers with a “flair for the dramatic” as they used to say, is it any wonder why show biz is infested with them?

That’s a very good question, and it seems to me that the thing is that Penn State football is but another tentacle of Hollywood, as they make their millions producing product for television, but as they were a tentacle they could be chopped off. Harvey and Kev, it would seem, are much closer to the nerve center in the middle. These “outings”, if you will, could be part of draining the swamp.

PTSD, eh? From a guy fondling him? Mmkay.

Luv your empathy there.

Huh. But unwanted sexual advances towards women are the end of the world, amirite?

Because sexist.

And misogynist.

And especially...NARRATIVE.

Just a thought.

Who was involved in the writing, production, casting, and funding of Brokeback Mountain?

And didn't the guy in that, who went on to play the Joker in a Batman flick, ...kill himself?

Just wondering out loud.

From the article.
“He put his hand on my crotch forcefully and grabbed my whole package.”

That is not fondling. That is assault. Shame on you for dismissing it as just a bit of fondling.

Spacey is an rich, well-known, active homosexual in the sodom that is Hollywood.

I would expect he has literally propositioned or fondled hundreds of men and boys, many probably “successfully.”

Every prominent Hollywood figure should have their star removed from the walk of fame. How do you start a movement to do this?

None of them gave me PTSD.
