Regarding Spacey's allegations in Synopsis[edit]
In the synopsis, it unfairly portrays Stacey as suspicious or even guilty, yet because all of the allegations were dropped, Kevin is allowed to be seen as innocent, yet to address this at the top is often disputed by other editors who have emotional attachments to the subject matter, claiming that 'not guilty' is not the same as charges dropped, and although I agree it's not the same, Kevin was never found guilty, therefore it is perfectly fine to add that he was 'never found guilty', because he wasn't, therefore he is still innocent in the eyes of the law, and whether you're a high profile person or an average joe, everyone has the right to remain innocent until proven guilty You may argue that in the article discusses in detail that he was not found guilty, this is not addressed within the synopsis, so why is it important to show that he was never found guilty within the synopsis? well, the synopsis acts as a "TLDR" (Too long didn't read) where it briefly addresses the article before addressing it all within categories. So I hope that others agree with my view that wiki should be written within factual and impartial context rather than emotional or hearsay. Hogyncymru (talk) 23:04, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
The header mentions the allegations. It doesn't say he was found guilty or assign any positive or negative weight to the allegations, so saying he was not found guilty is kind of superfluous and comes across as defensive imo. Also, just tacking on the short sentence "Kevin was not found guilty of any misdemeanour." at the end of the header really kills the flow and doesn't mesh with the previous sentence. However, I'm new to wikipedia so maybe you folks feel differently. Ficaia (talk) 16:21, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Edit inquiry[edit]
Hi, I am troubled by the wording in the third line of the "Theatre - 1981-1986" section. I suspect it should be worded "starring Liv Ullmann and directed by John Neville," unless he both starred in and directed the play.
I don't know the facts to make this change, so if anyone does, could you please make changes if needed? Thanks so much. Chezmoi (talk) 16:16, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Neville indeed both starred in and directed the play. ––FormalDude (talk) 23:55, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Name listed in Epstein case: Kevin Spacey[edit]
Kevin spacey documented having traveled via flight log to Epsteins' Island. 23.251.65.128 (talk) 22:55, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Misconduct section[edit]
As there are recent legal results that are relevant to the framing of the entire section, I will be commencing shortly a rewrite to the lede of this section to reflect the current status of the claims against Spacey, and am creating this talk section in advance of any work through needed.
While it is appropriate chronologically to list the Rapp incident as the initiating public incident on this topic, the fact that there have been numerous subsequent legal judgements since then (and connected to the initiating incident) is significant enough that those updates lead and contextualize the section.

Evan Lowenstein[edit]
Musician Evan Lowenstein has been Spacey's manager since 2016.[1]
