About this listen

Kevin Spacey faced a civil trial for sexual misconduct held in October 2022, about an evening in 1986. During the trial his lawyers attacked plaintiff Anthony Rapp, who was 14-years-old when he says Spacey lifted him up like a bride and then grinded against him, as an envious narcissist.

Journalist and lawyer Matthew Russell Lee covered the trial in depth, live tweeting the testimony and arguments and putting questions to Spacey outside the SDNY courthouse afterward, including about his flights on Jeffrey Epstein's plane along with Bill Clinton and Chris Tucker https://twitter.com/innercitypress/status/1582112177514635264

Lee covered those Epstein "Lolita Express" flights in his book about the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, "Maximum Maxwell," which features as this one does Kurt Wheelock, an ongoing presence noted in, for example, New York Magazine: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/12/ghislaine-maxwell-will-spend-her-60th-birthday-in-jail.html

Spacey said that his father was a neo-Nazi and white supremacist, something his brother Randy Fowler confirms. But Randy Fowler says their father's sexual abuse was directed at him, and that while he protected Kevin from it his American Beauty movie star brother cut him off.

It emerged that Spacey may have stolen some of his brother's story, just as he accused Rapp of stealing the story of John Barrowman. Alongside a not-liable verdict, it's a case of American Ugly.
