Zachary Quinto is not having Kevin Spacey’s attempt at deflecting attention away from sexual harassment allegations made against him by “Star Trek: Discovery” actor Anthony Rapp. Quinto posted a statement on Twitter Monday criticizing Spacey for coming out in response to allegations made against him by Rapp. In an interview with BuzzFeed, Rapp accused Spacey ― who he met while they were both acting on Broadway ― of sexually harassing him at a party in 1986 when he was just 14 years old and Spacey was 26. “It is deeply sad and troubling that this is how Kevin Spacey has chosen to come out,” the “Star Trek” film actor, who came out publicly in 2011, wrote. “Not by standing up as a point of pride - in the light of all his many awards and accomplishments thus inspiring tens of thousands of struggling LGBTQ kids around the world [-] but as a calculated manipulation to deflect attention from the very serious accusation that he attempted to molest one.”
