Celebrities were furious with Kevin Spacey on Monday for “hiding under the rainbow” and coming out as gay following a pedophilia accusation from “Star Trek” star Anthony Rapp against him.
Comedian Rosie O’Donnell called the “House of Cards” star a “sick man” and compared him to Harvey Weinstein. In a BuzzFeed News article, Rapp alleged that Spacey made a sexual advance toward him at a party when he was 14 years old.

Bye bye, Spacey goodbye, it’s your turn to cry, that’s why we’ve gotta say goodbye. #ROSEARMY

But honestly I hesitate to make jokes because the Spacey statement is truly disgusting, irresponsible and dangerous. Ok goodnight!

Hey @KevinSpacey you can choose to act like a pervert; you can’t “choose” to be gay.
