The uncancelling of Kevin Spacey, MeToo’s greatest casualty
It is the cruel catch-22 of cancel culture that being innocent may afford no protection against being treated as guilty.
How long before Kevin Spacey is allowed to be uncancelled? Seriously, I’m curious. It has been almost seven years since Spacey had the leper’s bell hung around his neck. Is it to be a life sentence, or are the millions who relish this great actor’s performances to be allowed to see him back where he belongs, on stage and screen?
I must admit that, until recently, I had vaguely, and without paying much attention, taken the no-smoke-without-fire view of Spacey. Hollywood bigshot exploits his position for sexual favours – it’s the oldest story in the book.
