[@fountainchain126]

Spacey hosted the Tonys, so he was there for the whole 3 hours actually.

[@pct87]

fountainchain126 who's spacey? That was Frank Underwood.

[@ConsumeristScroffa]

Spacey may have been there for 3 hours, but Frank Underwood stayed only one minute.

Don't make him less of an actor, just a horrible person.

[@dhalsim-1]

Are people so dumb they can't distinguish between an actors character and who they are in real life? How good he is of an actor has nothing to do with him being a pedophile scumbag.

Doug Stamper lurking in the back was the best part ever :D

[@dhevarajandevadas2492]

To think this would end up as the final appearance of Francis Underwood (and probably Kevin Spacey's last respectable public appearance). What a fall from grace.

[@dallasgirl3470]

Dhevarajan Devadas I know....it's sad isn't it.

[@javier.alvarez764]

Nah, it's show more of hollywood's fakeness. Half of the room probably heard or know the allegations against him and they are laughing with him. But when the secret is out, now they all leave Kevin Spacey and doesn't want anything to with him. Just shows the fakeness of hollywood.

I met the actor who plays Doug back in 2019. He was in Medellín with his family. What a nice man in real life he is.

[@zharakov]

could you tell more about your meeting with him? I heard in an interview he smiles alot in order for people to become comfortable with him, due to his character Doug Stamper being really intimidating

[@jonfrey9122]

@@zharakov Ok, the story goes like this. I was walking with my gf at Explora Park in Medellín, Colombia. She suddenly stopped me and said "look, that's Michael Kelly from HOC" and I said "of course not" but she insisted. Then I got closer to him to get a better look, cause I'm blind as f, and there he was with his wife and children. Then, I approached him and said "excuse me sir. I don't mean to take much of your time cause I see you are with your family but... are you the actor from House.." he then interrupted me with a smily "Yes, I am". To be honest I was a bit speechless but somehow I managed to ask him if we could take a picture with him. He said yes and he even grabbed my phone and took the selfie for us. After that, we had a super quick chat about his visit to Medellín and how much he liked it. And then we took separate ways. It seemed that no one recognized him here cause the only ones bothering him with selfies were me and my gf lol.

Glaucia Mesquita According to Lin, that's because Robin Wright wasn't there when they rehearsed the bit. So, he was thrown off at having, as he said on Twitter, "Wonder Woman's aunt" standing right next to him.

[@CoachingHigher]

Glaucia Mesquita I was disappointed she didn't have any lines. Robin is a phenomenal actress, I hope she wins this or next year but she needs to submit better episodes!

[@batuhanbugraceven]

[@batuhanbugraceven]

Özlem Değirmen yaptığı şeyler kesinlikle hoş değildi lakin bunun oyunculuk kariyerine darbeler indirmesi baya üzücü. Bu kadar yetenekli bir oyuncuyu çok daha fazla görmek isterim açıkçası sektörde tonla kötü oyuncu varken

[@ozlemjoker3769]

Batuhan Buğra Çeven haklısın da yaptığı şeyler sana bana kötü. Amerikada gay olmak ve reşit olmadan cinsel ilişki kurmak çok normal. Şimdi kevini suçluyorlar ama adam ortalama bir amerikalının yaşam tarzına sahip.

[@batuhanbugraceven]

Özlem Değirmen sadece o değil 7 tane daha iddia çıktı hakkında ama genelde hepsi 20 25 yıl önceki olaylarla ilgili. Donald Trump hakkında da tonla taciz suçlaması vardı ama başkan yaptılar. Onun kariyerini mahvetmediyse bu durum Kevin Spacey'in kariyerine böylesine zarar vermemeli...

[@ozlemjoker3769]

Batuhan Buğra Çeven evet ben de onu diyorum. Ama iki yüzlü ahlak bekçileri anlamıyorlar. Sonuçta adam tecavüz etmemiş hiç birine. Cinsellik teklif etmiş ama bazıları özel meselelerini yıllar sonra anlatıyorlar. Bu iddialardan önce kimse onların isimlerini bilmiyordu ama şimdi spacey sayesinde bütün dünya onları tanıyor. Ünlü olmak için yapıyorlar. Bana biri böyle birşey teklif etse benim de hoşuma gitmez ama yıllar sonra adam ünlü olunca da bana şöyle teklifte bulundu demem. Bildiğin gündemi meşkul etme çabaları.

[@batuhanbugraceven]

Özlem Değirmen bence de fazla abartılmış olan ve zamanlaması da bir o kadar manidar olan olaylar bunlar. Umuyorum ki House of Cards'ın final sezonunun senaryosu ve Kevin Spacey'in kariyeri bunlardan ağır yaralar almaz da biz de bu mükemmel oyunculuktan mahrum kalmayız.

[@broodingnights1515]

Tons of people are coming out claiming that they had been groped by Kevin Spacey, he all but admitted to it and used being gay as a ridiculous cop out, he's a great actor sure, but that will never change or minimize what he did. Shame on you for agreeing with Kevin Spacey.

[@LadyJay114]

I'm typing this two months post, after the allegations against Spacey have ceased & so many more names have been put on the harassment accusation list (as of 12/29/17 its 98 names). So I type this with reflection & a new perspective. The LGBT community has a right to be angry w/ Spacey (as I was) because this was the absolute wrong time to come out. Everyone knew FOR YEARS that he was gay, but Spacey continued to deny it. So he gets a thumbs down for that one. As for the allegations, they're really all over the place. There's no rape or coercion, but the allegations that have derailed his career were the alleged incidents of unwanted groping & sexual aggressiveness toward younger men on the House of Cards, the Old Vic & Richard Dreyfuss' son. Its unprofessional behavior & you can't have the star of the production behaving like that. No one will get away with that any longer, which is a good thing.

Claire and Doug look exactly like they do in Season 6. This would also be around the same time they started filming season 6 with spacey, before he was ousted. Sort of an alternate timeline - crazy to think....
