Rapp had to pay Spacey thirty nine thousand dollars.
If you ever wonder why victims don’t come forward, think about the humiliation, the accusations, the assumptions, the trauma relived and repeated and revisited and repeated again and again. And in the end, the law says “we won’t protect you” and the court says “we don’t believe you” and your abuser says “you owe me money.”
Did you ignore the part where the court found that it likely did not happen?
Real fucking weird to pretend to care about “innocent until proven guilty” while simultaneously holding the opinion of “guilty even if proven not guilty”
The court found that it couldn’t be proven to have happened. Did you ignore the part where Spacey apologized to Rapp for the “incident” before the lawsuit?
Real fucking weird to go to bat to defend the reputation of a serial sexual predator, but do go on because we’re learning a bit about you today.
Spacey stated on Twitter that he did not remember the encounter, but that he owed Rapp “the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior” if he had behaved as asserted.
Characterizing this as “he apologized for the incident” is disingenuous at best and the reason we have courts with lawyers, juries and judges.

Spacey was disingenuous at best, and was trying to clear his conscience and avoid self-incrimination at the same time.
Maybe, but you made it sound like he admitted to “the incident”, when what he did was the typical non-apology while admitting nothing.
Which he wouldn’t have done at all if there had been no “incident.”
Maybe, maybe not.
