Kevin Spacey Enters $36,000 Per Month Rehab Center to Cure His "Sex Addiction"
Yes, sex addiction.
Not "assault and sexual humiliation addiction."
You know, just sex addiction. I mean, who isn't addicted to sex, am I right or am I right? Perfectly understandable!
First Spacey played the "Hey man I'm just a gay man tryin' to make his way in a confusing world" card.
Now he plays the "Hey man I just like sex a whole heck of a lot, Just Like You" card.
By the way, this is the same clinic that Harvey Weinstein went to.
I observed the other day that there's a big downside lurking out there for these guys, a not-so-obvious one.
They're all having scandals at about the same time, and all playing pretty much the same playbook. That playbook calls for denial, then a limited modified hang-out partial confession, then "therapy."
And then-- the Contrite Rehabilitation Tour when they go on Oprah. Well not Oprah any more. Ellen or something.
Here's the problem for these guys, beyond the obvious problems:
They're all going to be attempting their Contrite Rehabilitation Tours at about the same time.
If you see one guy do his "I have sinned and I am sorry" schtick, you might say, well, he took his lumps, he takes responsiblity. Let him without sin etc.
But what happens when you see eight guys running the same play all within a few months of each other?
Well, I think people might just doubt these folks' sincerity, and suspect they might all be taking advice from the same cadre of crisis communications experts.
