“it’s chilling the length of time from a charge addressing a 35 year old incident, to killing careers.”

Got to agree with you there - it’s disturbing that an allegation can destroy someone without due process, evidence, a trial, an attorney. A mere statement is accepted as fact. ANY statement the accused makes in thier defense won’t seem credible at this point. So they go down in flames.

While it is disturbing how much sexual depravity is going on in those circles, without due process it seems like a free-for-all to perhaps get back at people who maybe just pissed you off years ago.

And I am NOT defending the Harvey Weinstein’s of the world! God knows there are pervs seemingly everywhere. But what happened to the right to face your accuser in a court of law?

I don’t condone rape, etc. ... but you are right about casting couch. Those two young blonde chicks cuddling up to O.J. Simpson, doing a commercial this week.... They have to know he was found responsible for the murders of two people in a Civil Court. Young people beware, Hollywarped is dangerous!

“Netflix Cancels House Of Cards After Allegation Against Kevin Spacey”

not really. they’ve probably only finished filming the first 3 episodes of season six, which they’ll finish completely filming anyway, plus they’d already pretty much decided season six would be the last season anyway, even before the spacey debacle.

“I do think due process is called for.”

Spacey is not being denied due process. He has the option to seek redress in court if he believes he was defamed.

How is Kevin Spacey being denied “due process”? He has money and lawyers. He can take the accuser to court.

Big deal. The original BBC House of Cards only lasted three seasons. Netflix has been milking this cash cow much longer than the original story premise warranted anyway.

Key observation in story: Netflix will cancel "House of Cards" after the next, upcoming (sixth) season. A lot of footage must be in the can already. Money talks, principle walks.

I was watching House of Cards until I read that Spacey had been on the Lolita Express to pedophile island. I can’t stomach looking at people so vile and disgusting.

I’m sure Robin Wright is mighty ticked off because she fought hard to get equal pay with gay guy.

This statement from Netflix is nothing more than a PR stunt. And it does not reflect well on the company.

Spacey made a statement confirming the allegation.

Not quite the same as getting canned just because you’ve been accused of something.
