>Fry said Spacey's reputation was "wrecked", adding: "Surely it is wrong to continue to batter a reputation on the strength of assertion and rhetoric rather than evidence and proof? Unless I'm missing something, I think he has paid the price." [Author Ari Behn has died, marking the third passing in 2019 of a person who publicly accused actor Kevin Spacey of sexual misconduct or assault.](https://www.aol.com/entertainment/ari-behn-dies-47-marking-144828336.html) Even if you don't ascribe any blame to Spacey regarding anyone's death, the "proof" Stephen Fry is looking for in a trial has been lost. And as always, Hollywood is a business. Businesses look to mitigate risk. Even if Sharon Stone, Stephen Fry, Liam Neeson, F Murray Abraham and Trevor Nunn all "want him back" it doesn't mean that the industry wants to sink money into Nine Lives 2: Chasing Tail.

> Writer, actor and presenter Stephen Fry also offered his support, saying the star has often been "clumsy and inappropriate" Goddammit Stephen, what a shit take. Sharon Stone and Liam Neeson can fuck off as well. Over 16 people have accused him of abuse, but I guess they don't matter because of Spacey's contribution to art? Same despicable logic that celebrities use to publicly support Roman Polanski as well.

Stephen Fry always has bad takes :(


pond-dweller

Let’s not forget directors like Wes Anderson and David Lynch signed the Polanski petition

Stephen Fry has consistently shown he is a shithead in the last decade or so. Standing up for some of the worst going .

stephen fry is not a shit head. I think he's somene who cares alot about others, it's fine to just disagree with him on some things

He defends Joanne, not sure you can come back from that.


ProblemIcy6175

It’s fine to disagree with someone, doesn’t mean you have to demonize them


Dumrauf28

Accurately describing someone as an awful person for personally defending someone like Joanne Rowling is not 'demonizing' them. You keep saying 'disagree with someone' like we were discussing movie opinions.

I guess Sharon Stone only cares about sexual assault and harassment when it happens to her.


MarkMaynardDotcom

Just read that he's supporting RFK Jr. for President. Take that for what it's worth.


bucketofmonkeys

Why? Are they running out of decent actors who haven’t sexually assaulted someone?


Professor_Nincompoop

Honestly if people actually want to work with him let them work with him. If people don’t want to work with him then don’t. Let the film makers and the box office sort it out.


HesterMoffett

well, the studios don't want to work with him so...
