This is the nightmare scenario that I talked about for Spacey's team. Right now Hollywood is actually devouring itself. And if you have one person in your past that is willing to come forrward, its going to start a dog pile of your past.
Right now they've probably got Spacey in a room and they're screaming at him "How many more you creep?"
Now Jeremy Piven is in the spotlight, and he sort of handled it well, denying it and saying that he hopes that false accusations don't stop other victims from coming forward, but its the same thing, right now he's in a room getting grilled about the possibility of other people coming forward.
for too long in Hollywood it was the powerful taking advantage of the desperate. You want this role, or you want to be a player in this town, here's the couch. Now its kind of coming back to roost, and this is far from over, because the second wave of this won't be the known people, it will be the unknown people, the actress who played the silent waitress, the child actor who played kid kicking soccer in the background, it will be the ones who couldn't make it and went home with their tales between their legs.
If there was a Martin Luther moment in Hollywood, this is it.
