Kevin Spacey has purportedly checked into a luxury $36,000-a-month sex rehab center in the Arizona desert to receive treatment for his alleged sexual misconduct.
According to multiple sources, Spacey will be staying at the elite Meadows, a favorite rehab center among celebrity A-listers including Tiger Woods, Kate Moss, and Selena Gomez.
Last week, Spacey announced he was “taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment.” It sounds like he’ll be in good, like-minded company at Meadows. Alleged serial assaulter Harvey Weinstein is also rumored to be seeking treatment at the facility.

The clinic claims to have the best sex addiction treatment program in the country, offering a 45-day program called the “Gentle Path” where patients undergo counseling and “expressive arts” to cope with their issues.
The facility also boasts a “safe and nurturing community” that includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, a yoga room, a swimming pool, an art studio, and several indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, among other things.
Sounds lovely.
Since being accused of preying on young men and underage boys, Spacey has kept a low profile. He had his special Emmy Award revoked and Netflix announced he will no longer appear on the hit show House of Cards.
We genuinely hope he is able to get the help he needs at Meadows.

The problem isn’t that you’re a sexual addict. It’s that you are a serial sexual assaulter of young boys.

Amen

At least he’s rich. 100 million reasons to enjoy life.

Don’t waste your money going to a rehab.. your career is over. Just go to some secluded place and live your life in peace. You Vile piece of ugly flesh…

Ha ha, “sex addition.”
Horniness is not an addiction, it’s a compulsion, and I doubt any 12-step program they brush him off with is going to keep him from coveting jailbait.
Pure publicity stunt done in vain, because he’s finished acting.

Except for the fact that no reputable psychological organization says that Sex Addiction exists. Never underestimate the ability of people to create B.S. programs to take money from stupid celebrity publicists trying to find a fake way to rehab their clients image.

Sex “addiction” isn’t a thing. But a seeming inability to withhold from all your impulses and having self-destructive impulses are frequently signs of other issues. Spacey’s main problem is that his baseline orientation is towards teenagers, and that’s unlikely to change. He also seems to get off on using sex to shock and manipulate and extort power. That can change with help. But you’d think since he’s apparently been called out on this multiple times throughout the decades he would have been sought out help by now. So, this is definitely about trying to salvage an ostensibly dead career.

Save your money, Kevin. You’ll need something to live off of.

Yup, his career is toast. I doubt he could even get a job now as a set dresser.

People are upset he’s doing something, if he didn’t people would be upset too. For whatever reason, I’m not going to criticize someone for trying to better their self in any way. He’s already been tried in the court of public opinion so we all need to let it rest.

Doing something? Going to a luxury hotel that claims to treat a condition that doesn’t exist? Not really doing anything is he?

So how much is privacy costing him a week? That is the main reason for prophylactic treatment of compulsion disorders. Well that and you get to say your are “in treatment” durring court appearances.

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. What DOES your mother have to say about his happy horse sh*it?

Kevin Spacey is beyond an embarrassment!

He’ll have more consensual sex there than he ever had on the outside.

The last line killed me.
“We genuinely hope…”
Please!
I genuinely hope he’s prosecuted for being a pedophile, rapist and sexual predator. End of story.

Could be has a bit of a drinking problem too…

How does one not think about sex? If the pool at the rehab center has some hot dudes splashing about, how does one’s mind not think about sex? Do you confess to your counselor every erection you have at the rehab clinic. I am not understanding how this clinic works. Wise Bloggers, please help me with the premise of this place.

A rare moment of almost universal agreement here on Queerty.

Rehab for bogus conditions are just token scandinavian prison resorts for the rich.

One of the requirements for an addiction is a series of physical withdrawal symptoms when forced to quit cold turkey. That doesn’t happen when people stop having sex. It doesn’t even happen when people stop having sex and stop masturbating. That’s why the DSM doesn’t consider sex addiction to be a real thing. Certain therapists might say that it’s an unhealthy coping mechanism, but it’s far from an actual addiction comparable to a chemical dependency.

What bothers me about all of this, not only Spacey, but the laundry list of females claiming sexual harassment and inappropriate sexual behavior lately, is that in this country, in this legal system, a person accused is INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty by the person (legal team) bringing on the accusation. So someone is dragged out of the woodwork who is willing to say that ‘so-and-so’ “touched” me inappropriately in 1978, and the accused, in 2017 mind you, is destroyed??? No way, in my book. PROVE IT, video tape, voice recordings, eye witnesses and the like, or shut up and go away. This is very dangerous, as a complete stranger to you, could go to the police and “say” that you raped them 35 years ago, and your life is instantly destroyed. Bull sh*t on a stick I say.
