In another twist in the ongoing Kevin Spacey saga, the male masseur currently suing the disgraced actor over allegations of sex abuse died suddenly this week.
According to the Hollywood Reporter:
The individual, suing as a “John Doe,” filed claims in September 2018 with the allegation of being forced to grab the actor’s genitals twice during a massage two years earlier at a private residence in Malibu.
In May, a federal judge in California allowed the case to move forward despite Spacey’s objection that the plaintiff’s identity was being shielded.
Now, just a month after the parties came to a plan for proceeding in the suit that detailed prospective discovery and envisioned a seven- to 11-day trial, the plaintiff’s attorney has informed Spacey that the client “recently passed.”
Last month, the man’s lawyer, Genie Harrison, told the judge her client had expressed “concern for their safety and/or do not want their names revealed publicly in the media.” The cause of his death remains unknown. Yesterday, Harrison issued a statement, reading:
It is true that Mr. Doe recently died. His untimely death was, to his family, a devastating shock that they are struggling to process and is so recent that they have not yet held his funeral service. Out of professional responsibility, we notified Spacey’s counsel of Mr. Doe’s passing. We explained our intent to allow his family more time to get past their immediate, paralyzing grief and begin settling his affairs before we filed a death notice with the court — which is our prerogative as his counsel. Spacey ignored our request for compassion and filed the notice yesterday without our consent.
This marks the second time Spacey has dodged a sex abuse lawsuit in the past year.
How about we take this to the next level?

Earlier this year, criminal charges against the actor were dropped when the man accusing him of sexual abuse, a teenage busboy, stopped cooperating with prosecutors. Spacey pleaded not guilty to felony indecent assault and battery in that case, and prosecutors eventually withdrew all charges.

Masseuse is female. Masseur is male. … “male masseuse” doesn’t make sense.

At times it’s worse than TMZ

LOL. It’s now been changed to “male masseur” – which is redundant.
JaredMacBride
Even more important – the masseur was a “middle aged man” – Spacey’s cut off age is 18.
Catholicslutbox
A male Masseuse, is fem gay, or the more pc term “non-binary.”
*Non-binary” *sigh*

“…died suddenly and without any warning”
Wh-huh?? Do people usually give warning before dying suddenly? Grammarly would’ve spotted this redundancy, Queerty.
MacAdvisor
To die suddenly implies the death itself was quick. For example, one would die suddenly from being beheaded. To die without warning implies there was not advance notice of the death. One could take several days to day, but the death was without advanced warning. For example, someone dies from cancer, but told no one of his illness, the death would be sudden to his friends, but it would not have been quick. Typically, the two go hand in hand, but not necessarily.
Loki
Well, that was a very tortured explanation. People die *immediately* from being beheaded, not suddenly. Were Daniel Pearl and Nick Berg described as having “died suddenly” when they were beheaded? And a cancer diagnosis IS A WARNING, no matter if his friends knew or not. And most readers of this news article are unlikely to have been acquainted with its subject. A meth/heroin addict can die suddenly of an overdose, but one can’t say there was no warning because there is always some chance of death when it comes to drug/substance abuse.

My father was killed in a car accident, that would be suddenly. My mother passed from cancer, that took years. See the difference?

From the article: “Earlier this year, criminal charges against the actor were dropped when the man accusing him of sexual abuse, a teenage busboy, stopped cooperating with prosecutors.”
I wonder what twink j/o with monster toy cam-site he was on before he met Spacey or did Spacey finally get smart and admit that was the site he met the little opportunist on and when they met it didn’t go right.
Cam
If you want to think the worst. One got paid off and dropped the case, the other wouldn’t take the payout, was threatened, told their attorney they didn’t feel safe, and suddenly dies.
Sounds….odd.
Sister Bertha Bedderthanyu
That sounds plausible but what I find interesting is they are not revealing how he died. I just dont think it was foul play. And let us not forget that no matter how healthy we appear and actually are we are human being and barring execution in prison we will NEVER know when our time is up.
Loki
Paid off? Where are you getting this from?? The Nantucket case was dropped because the accuser plead the Fifth and refused to testify, because either he (or his mother) deleted texts from his phone and subsequently lost said phone before defense counsel could examine it and he could’ve been on the hook for tampering with evidence.
OzJosh
The earlier case was dropped because it was bogus in all kinds of ways, and the accuser had lied about a number of things. They realised there was no chance of winning. It was reported widely, including here, at the time. But it would spoil the implied narrative here to mention that in this article.

Why can’t I write what I want to write without constant attacks from the grammar Nazis. Jesus, I just get so nervous making a comment on here. Even now my fingers are shaking. It’s too much…I just can’t!

if you don’t want to be ‘attacked’ for bad grammar, use the proper grammar. it’s not that hard. and your ‘fingers are shaking’? jesus on toast, get a spine. what are you a little girl? if you can’t post and accept criticism, don’t f’ing post.

OD? Accident? Natural Causes? Your “article” implies Spacey had some sinister hand in the plaintiff’s death. You got proof of that?
What is known is, that aside from your your extremely shoddy editing of the stories you post is, the plaintiff died, Spacey was not in the vicinity when it happened, and no information is known about the reason for the “sudden death”. So other than clickbait, what’s your point?
ShiningSex
do you actually know what clickbait is? This isn’t that. Just because they don’t know all of the details doesn’t mean it’s not worth reporting. DUH!!!
Implying Spacey had something to do with it isn’t new. He’s vile. Not shocking if he did. Celebs tend to get away with their behavior.
ShiningSex
Spacey is very creepy. Total pedo vibe.

HOW DARE YOU ATTACK ME! They keep saying it gets better. But it only gets worse. I’m triggered. How dare you. Hmm…I wonder if I fed my cat. Let me check.

Nobody kills someone over something like this. Especially since he will probably get off (no pun intended) anyway.
Brian
Other outlets are reporting this as cancer. You don’t even mention the word cancer.
I can’t verify that it’s really cancer, but I’ve got my own job. Your job was to investigate and fact-check, but you didn’t bother with that. Come the f on. Do better.

” forced to grab the actor’s genitals twice” — How exactly is one forced to grab genitals? Seems to me it would be easy to simply not grab them EVEN IF someone asked you to do it.

“Last month, the man’s lawyer, Genie Harrison, told the judge her client had expressed ‘concern for their safety…'”
Was the deceased masseuse/masseur non binary or gender fluid?
mgconlan
Nearly two years ago Lifetime aired a TV-movie called “A Tale of Two Coreys,” dealing with the careers of teen stars Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. In an interview after the film, Feldman claimed that when they were both underage both he and Haim were raped by powerful men in Hollywood who were supposedly on the sets of their films to chaperone and protect them. Feldman claimed that he always kept a bodyguard because he felt his life was in danger for having gone public about his history of being sexually abused, even though he’s never named his abuser in public. I wondered at the time how much of this was well-founded concern and how much was paranoia, but after this report that one of the two men who accused Kevin Spacey of abusing them sexually died under mysterious circumstances and the other suddenly withdrew his cooperation with prosecutors, I’m thinking maybe Feldman was right and there are a lot of powerful people in Hollywood literally willing to kill in order to keep their sexual exploitation of underage victims a secret.
krandall
I’m not expressing an opinion, but I am surprised how many people don’t think that Mr. Spacey might actually have done the things he’s accused of.
dinard38
That’s because people like us want to see some evidence that Kevin Spacey was involved in this man’s death before making those accusations. The cause of death is unknown. As a matter of fact, Kevin doesn’t even know the identity of his accuser. He was listed as John Doe in the complaint. So this implied notion that Spacey may have had something to do with this man’s death is absurd!!!
And another thing: even if Kevin knew his accuser’s name, he’d silence someone accusing him of making him touch Kevin’s junk?? How laughable!!!
