Kevin Spacey coming out as gay to distract everyone from the fact that he just got exposed as a child molester. Here are some reactions to Kevin Spacey' statement: Twitter is outraged that Mr Spacey issued an apology to Mr Rapp and came out as gay in the same statement to ' distract everyone from the fact that he just got exposed as a child molester.' In the first part of the statement Kevin Spacey posted on Twitter, the actor said sincerely apologized to Anthony Rapp for his 'deeply inappropriate drunken behaviour' and in the second half he said that 'this story encouraged him to address other things about his life.' A Twitter user said, 'Kevin Spacey 'came out' so the media can focus on that instead of his predatory behaviour.' But, the actor's statement comes hours after actor Anthony Rapp ( Star Trek: Discovery and A Beautiful Mind) alleged that the Oscar-winning actor made a 'sexual advance' towards him when he was only 14. Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey, after years of dodging questions about his sexual orientation, on Monday revealed to the world that he is in fact gay. 'Nope to Kevin Spacey's statement,' said one Twitter user.'I now choose to live life as a gay man,' he said.Kevin Spacey apologised to Anthony Rapp for his 'inappropriate behaviour'.
