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.

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

Oh get a grip. Oh, wait, getting a grip is assault! PTSD, get out of my face with that bull. Talk to a veteran. My stepdad was in Vietnam for 4 years, tell him that getting groped by someone at a bar is on par with what he experienced.

Yah, granted.

But there is the added element of imposed homosexuality; at least if a guy is flirting with *you*, you know that the plumbing is meant to be compatible.

Not so with this case.

I’m sure it was disgusting, or upsetting, or even enraging. But PTSD? Come on. That sounds like “You’ll need to cough up some money, now, Kevin. My shrink isn’t cheap.”

I could maybe see getting PTSD from another guy grabbing my package.

It would surely weigh on my mind a bit afterward, knowing I just killed someone with my bare hands.

Now THAT might do it ... but looking at the photo of our quavering victim, he looks more like the “it’s not what you did, it’s how you did it” type.

That *almost* sounded wrong.

However, for the quick retort, you win the thread!

All you need to know about Hollywood can be found in the movie SNOWMAN. Whose protagonist is played by Michael Fassbender with the name of (dare I say it) "Harry Hole"

Who would....????

“This designates ownership”

You know who said this almost verbatim?

OJ Simpson after grabbing Nicole's crotch.

Yeah, I don’t know about the writing, casting, funding, etc. but one of the starring actors, Heath Ledger did kill himself not terribly long afterward.

The natural reaction for a guy being grabbed by a guy is to curb stomp him. That resolves the issue emotionally.

Lol

You and me both

Queers think I’m a bear...

Any man fondled me and I’d smack him

Fags know who to work on

Didn’t Tony Montana ask for it when he said “Say hello to my little friend.”?

But you’re a girl sweetie

It’s different and should be

I think it hurts a man when he feels incapable of fighting back

No one expects you to have at 12 I just someone had helped you

This Montana guy seems quite capable of defending himself without having ptsd

PTSD is for combat or hell jail or kidnapping survivors

Not cause some fop touched you as a grown man

Just my opinion

No romantic roles with women, heterosexuals won’t accept it and gays won’t like it.

I’m not sure about that. The actor who played Niles in the TV show Fraser is gay, but a long running theme in the show was his romance with Daphne.
