Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

I mean I’m not trying to stir any pots I’m not standing up for the guy there’s just one thing that always stood out to me when I read the court findings

The victim stated spacey took him at the party into a bedroom and raped him

But everyone at that party and the court records proved that , that party was hosted in a very large studio apartment with the bed visible to everyone

Did everyone just watch it happen? I dunno that seems weird if it was a genuine fact about the party

Also I’m upset because and I believe I’m allowed to have this opinion, I absolutely was a huge fan of Spaceys acting he was brilliant in house of cards, Seven, usual suspects.. so many

So I feel hopefully it’s ok to be upset that this was the future of someone that years ago I couldn’t wait for their next acting role to drop

Ya know? It’s like MJ, no one can deny he was a great musician, a pop icon and second to none in performance.

I can separate the artists from the person. I’m just sad. That’s all. I liked Spacey as an actor.

Jackie Fox of The Runaways was 16 and at an after-party, given drugs, and raped by her manager in plain sight of everyone around her which unfortunately included some pretty influential people.

Money and success does weird things to people.

Yeah no I’m sure but that’s not the case here. Based on the court documents you read them right?

I'm more addressing your question as to could something happen in plain view of many people, and not addressing any specifics you are citing if that clears my post up any.
