7. He Received Backlash for Coming Out
After actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of laying on top of him when he was just 14-years-old, Spacey posted a lengthy message on his social media account. In the statement, he used his drunkenness as an excuse for his actions, and he also used the scandal as a way to put the longstanding rumors about his sexuality to rest.
The actor revealed he had dated both men and women, but he chose to live his life as a gay man. Many people were outraged by his confession, claiming it was made at the wrong time to deflect from Rapp’s allegations.
