AUTHOR SAYS SPACEY ACCUSER SHOULD ‘ SUCK IT UP’

- Evan Manning, National Post

In the latest “Oh no, he said what?” moment, Gay Talese has come rushing to the defence of Kevin Spacey, saying that his accuser should “suck it up.” Talese, pictured and the author and former Esquire and The New York Times journalist, spoke to Vanity Fair in a peculiar interview regarding Spacey. Talese said he wants to profile Spacey. But not because he wants to find the root behind Spacey’s sexual assault/harassment claims. Rather, because Talese feels sorry for the disgraced, star. Likely referring to Anthony Rapp, the actor who first came out with detailed allegation­s accusing Spacey of making sexual advancemen­ts, Talese said: “I feel so sad, and I hate that actor that ruined this guy’s career. So, OK, it happened 10 years ago … Jesus, suck it up once in a while!”
