The most bombshell confessions of 2017 came from some of entertainments biggest names. Explosive admissions of and apologies for sexual harassment came furiously after allegations were levied against several stars, including Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, who finally confirmed the worst kept secret in Hollywood when he finally admitted he is gay.
Spacey made the admission after actor Anthony Rapp accused him of making a sexual advance towards him when he was just 14. Many gay celebrities instantly accused Spacey of coming out of the closet in an attempt to deflect attention away from the accusations.
“I honestly do not remember the encounter, it would have been over 30 years ago,” Spacey said in a statement. “But if I did behave as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years.”
Super Size Me filmmaker Morgan Spurlock made a pre-emptive confession, before anyone had even accused him of sexual misconduct, admitting that he was once accused of rape in college.
“We’d been drinking all night and went back to my room,” he shared on Twitter. “We began fooling around, she pushed me off, then we laid in the bed and talked and laughed some more, and then began fooling around again. We took off our clothes. She said she didn’t want to have sex, so we laid together, and talked, and kissed, and laughed, and then we started having sex.”
After months of denials, comedian Kevin Hart finally came clean about cheating on wife Eniko Parrish while she was pregnant with their son.
“That was my f**k-up…I rightfully stand in front of my f**k-up, hand in the air. I’m guilty,” he admitted on The Breakfast Club radio show. “Regardless of how it happened and what was involved, I’m guilty. I was wrong.”
