  • For the first time in YEARS, Kevin Spacey did an interview where he addressed all the claims made against him by multiple individuals. He made it very clear that despite having many regrets he will not apologize to anyone who exaggerated stories about him. But what do his body language, facial expressions and word choice reveal about what really took place? Find out now!

    In listening to your describing Spacey as a nuanced thinker, I learned something about myself and my husband. I'm a nuanced thinker and hubby isn't. We've had so many arguments or frustrating conversations because I felt it necessary to share the nuances of my thoughts, but he wants an answer without nuances. We've now discussed this issue and came up with a game plan. When situations occur, he'll ask me if I really need to share the nuances. In response, I'll try to only say yes if it definitively matters.
    Thanks, Spidey, for not only continuing my critical thinking and behavioral analysis but also for the 💡about myself and solving a marital discord.‼️🦋👩‍🦰

    If someone is found "not guilty" in a criminal court, it doesn't mean that they are innocent. It just means it's very difficult to get enough evidence to prove guilt beyond all reasonable doubt. Especially for sexual assault which is done away from cameras or eye witnesses. Your channel is the best for behaviour analysis

      I worked as an actors agent in London during the time he was Artistic Director at the Old Vic. What I heard about him, at least a year before accusations about him hit the press, meant I wouldn’t ever have let any of my young male actors be alone in a room with him. He had a terrible reputation and it was widely thought he’d come to the U.K. because the age of consent is lower than in the US.
      Spacey was the only person I heard such things about.

      Even if somebody could still be guilty, even though they were found not guilty, when do we draw the line and allow somebody to have their livelihood back when it wasn’t proven that they did anything criminal? At that point we have to assume allegations were just not true or completely exaggerated and let somebody have their career and life back.

      Totally, like a “behavioral artist reacts” sort of series where someone collects good and back acting clips for Spidey to react to. Personally I like the idea a lot- from a business standpoint, he could create videos like that in between bigger research projects cuz they require little prep work.
      But Spidey also could see it as clogging up his channel with content he’s not as proud of. But even if not a series, maybe he’ll consider an episode here and there.

    Whether you view it good or bad, back in the 80’s I remember people being a lot less concerned about sexual advancements. There was a lot of “grabbing”, “touching”, etc. that as long as it didn’t go “too far” (whatever that would mean) it was ‘just the way it was’. Things have changed since then.

      It's why I laugh when a celebrity's fans, acts like they know exactly what type of person their favoured celeb is, and aggressively defends said celeb from everything and everyone who contradicts that perception.

      @DawnDavidson 17 днів тому +2

      I didn’t see it that way. I DID see the smile, and I think that’s what you might be reacting to? For me, I saw it as a rueful sort of a smile. The sort where he is almost involuntarily laughing about how, after all of this, how could anyone think he could possibly have anything left to hide? I’ve gotten myself into trouble in some situations in the past by having a similar reaction. I said something like “I know it sounds bad, but this is actually true …” and had the other person immediately assume I MUST be lying. I wasn’t. That moment had absolutely horrible consequences for me and my family. So it’s possible that I’m just biased in favor of believing Spacey as a result. I truly believe that with regard to this topic, Spacey has TRIED limiting what he said, being “discreet,” or telling only part of the truth, thinking that the other stuff didn’t matter. But it’s that slight embarrassment from “concealing” something unrelated that a suspicious person will pick up on, and go after like a dog after a buried bone. My sense is that Spacey is TIRED of all of this, and is almost helplessly laughing because he knows that as a public person (an actor), he has forfeited his right to privacy in the minds of many people, especially interviewers and reporters.
      “The public” can be ruthless about “stars.” It was partly that sort of scrutiny that drove Princess Diana to make choices that resulted in her death, trying to avoid paparazzi. I could imagine Spacey having a similar feeling of being pursued relentlessly, and it resulting in this helpless almost laugh.

      He proved, in court that Johnny Depp assaulted her on 12 occasions. Spacey proved in court that he did nothing wrong. How is it ironic? Wooten not only won his case but all the appeals and the court ordered Depp to pay his costs. Wooton's lawyer got Depp to admit, on the witness stand that he headbutted Heard. That was one of the 12 instances of assault. The US judge suppressed that evidence so the US jury never knew Depp admitted to one assault. That was independent of anything Heard said.

      He always seemed sincere, but ofc thoughtful as clearly he had to be careful of how to word things with so many enemies lurking.
      The problem is ofc that he is one of the best actors of our time. So he does fit the profile of the kind of person that could fool you.
      In the end though, if you take a step back and evaluate the accusations, it seems to me the people accusing are afaik all adults deciding to go along and then suddenly years later ... sue for money after their career didn't earn them money.
      It looks like they were trying opportunistically to fit the boss v young girl frame of Weinstein and metoo onto a situation of two adult actors.

    You can really tell how nuanced he is thinking and to me that makes total sense, since I tend to think in a similar way. Some people use what someone says as a template for everything else that person does/says, which can be super frutrating (great comment about the youtube comments btw😂)! I feel like this gives him a bit more credibility in his statements because he seems to not just go off of the idealized image some people have of themselves in their head, which then makes them straight up deny doing certain things just because they don't like the behaviours they are accused off (and therefore they cant identify with them) - without actually reflecting on their behaviour! I also think there are some things that he has done in the past, that probably werent appropriate and I would have loved for the parts that were "ludicrous " to him for him to specify. But what I liked about this interview is, that because of the nuanced thinking element, I got the feeling that he actually did reflect and does still reflect on himself and his behaviours which is always a good start!

      I completely agree with everything you said. I also think he did some stuff that he shouldn’t have done but I believe he actually did reflect on them and if he apologizes about any of it it will be the result of actual reflection not just a statement. That said, if any of these instances were more than just a little inappropriate, it does make these accusations more serious than just “silly Kevin, there he goes again.”

      @@TheBehavioralArts As I’ve sat with this and thought further, I think there’s a big piece of this that’s getting missed: Slut shaming. Usually, in our culture, women are the ones who are slut shamed. Women aren’t supposed to want sex, or ask for it, or be enthusiastic about accepting it. But gay men are also slut shamed, for similar reasons. They are less powerful than straight men, and historically have a lot to lose, similarly to women.
      So, Spacey is getting both sides of the MeToo tragedy here. He is both a white male in the entertainment industry, and therefore automatically under suspicion of wrongdoing in the era of MeToo. But he is ALSO gay, and that is still a second class citizen in our culture, and especially in the Entertainment industry.
      Spacey is accused of things that, were he straight, probably wouldn’t have raised eyebrows, especially not in the 90’s. Even “admitting” that he’s gay puts him under suspicion. Being gay and actively pursuing sex? Totally out of bounds. Our culture wants him to be safely tucked out of sight, engaging in only the most monogamous and straightest version of sex and romance possible for a gay man. Any indication that he wants gay sex, possibly with more than one person, is going to be met with severe disapproval. And where there are “two sides to a story” or where things went slightly wrong and the other person was disappointed or discomfited in some way? Well, that’s going to be painted in the worst possible light, simply because he’s gay.
      IMO Kevin Spacey is being used (at least in part) by other men to deflect from the very real and rampant misogyny highlighted by the MeToo movement. He is being accused like a man, and slut shamed like a woman. No wonder he’s angry , sad, and frustrated.

  • @levendil14

    My read is that Kevin Spacey pursues casual sex and is typically more assertive, potentially because he tends to pursue younger men. That inherently puts him in a position where he is more likely to make others feel uncomfortable and he may not realize it because other people may be enamored with him or trying to use him to further their career (and Hollywood has a massive problem with that due to the inherent insecurity of actors and if they will make it or not). The thing in the cinema, I think his position was that he has had sexual encounters in cinemas which for more sexually adventurous people that's a common experience. He didn't want to say "its not something I've ever done", I got the sense what he meant more its nothing he's pressured someone into doing that didn't seem interested in doing that sort of thing. I think the ridiculous part is all the creative writing details of the accusation that try to maximize how bad the situation was.

But I also find it extremely believable that people were allowing him to be flirty and allowed his advances because they were hoping he would help their career. I also believe he has been used a lot and it hurts to be accused of inflammatory stories plus, we have to remember that these situations have cost him his career so it's a big deal and I think that some of his intensity is coming from. The fact that he's like, "look, I'm willing to admit XYZ but come on, I cannot believe that you all believe ABC." And I think he's offended that people are even accusing him of some of these things.

And then they will tell me that I have it all wrong. Then I will go and get the VHS tape and show them the memory and it's exactly how I say.
      I should also point out that I was a very strange child. Up until the age of nine I had this weird habit every night before I went to bed where I would start from the day I was born and relive my entire night until that particular night when I went to sleep. So I basically relived my entire life every single night before bed. Do you realize how much memory exercise that is for 10 years straight?

      I have a master in psychology so I know a little of the subject.
      IIRC we have no idea at all of the cause of this difference. I struggle to even believe that a mind can do that. But it's been well documented by scientists for decades.
      I really wonder whether you trained yourself, or on the other hand the remembering of your life every night might as well be an early effect of something else. That is something we will still be debating in a 100 years I think.
      Further analysis:
      1) sleep cycle:
      In a sense, one could frame it that you just have more of something we all have.
      I think all of us experience a kind of replay of the day, or recent impactful moments, just before we fall asleep. That seems to be a natural part of our brain's sleep mechanism. It's what gives a lot of sleep problems too.
      We don't know why people sleep. We understand very little of that. But we do know that sleep deprivation; specifically preventing REM sleep or dream sleep leads to: psychosis, hallucinations, etc. The brain seems to need this "reset" phase regularly or it will cease to function usefully. This phase seems different for you.
      2) Attention:
      For your memory to retain all that, it has to write it all down first. For most people this is where the experience is encoded and reduced in detail.
      Yet you retain much more detail, so therefore you have to have paid much better attention.
      Probably the larger difference is in how you pay attention than in how you recall the recorded.
      In fact you must be paying so much attention, that I think because our brain does have limits, you must be paying less attention to other things that most people spend their cognitive power on.
      Questions:
      Do you tend to e.g. remember feelings less? Smells? Sounds?
      Do you perhaps have more issues socially, relating to people?
      Sorry for asking personal questions. I'm just trying to test my hypothesis that for you to be so good at one thing, it must therefore spend less time on something else, compared to most people.

      When we are used to interviewers who go after interviewees like an attack dog, then even neutrality can seem biased in favor of the interviewee. Also, if DW has “had his own scandals” as I’ve seen suggested here (he’s not someone I am familiar with, so I just don’t know), then he may be showing a degree of *empathy* for Spacey’s situation. Empathy doesn’t necessarily mean you AGREE with the person; just that you understand how they might feel the way that they do. Spacey likely had turned down many “offers” for an interview over the years, and may have felt that DW would be more nuanced in his interview (which Spidey points out is how Spacey seems to think.) Spacey probably felt he needed to get ahead of the Channel 4 story as much as possible, but wanted an interviewer he could WORK with.

He may be acting but the red around his eyes and the welled tears show to me an increased blood flow and holding back tears. Much more authentic than movie eye drops. Anyway all people make mistakes, ALL, how bad it actually is is much more nuanced than we like to admit. It really sounds like he accepted responsibility with those he hurt.

      I wouldn’t add that specific head shake to a cluster because he’s making a negative statement but with the smile, the blink rate, the mouth blocking and object interaction you might have a little cluster there worth digging into. It’s very possible he’s holding in resentments towards the email and it being shared 😊

    KS is probably one, if not the, greatest actor that came from the 80s. I honestly think that he’s so good an actor many believe he won’t be believed because of it. His tv/film characters are such terrible people that people believe he’s the characters he play. I also think he came out of a time when gay men in certain areas/professions were just feeling free to be out and were not as discrete when making advances and just played it off when they made a mistake. People meet and use stars every day hoping to get an advantage. They would do anything. If the encounter does not get them what they want they get mad and feel used when their agenda was hidden. I honestly think people still feel a certain way towards gay entertainers. Sexual harassment is sexual harassment and always wrong. He had star power and publicist usually try to protect them from things. I think he was probably such a notorious flirt they just let him fall on his sword. The 80s wasn’t the Rock Hudson studio system. I hope he can work again.
