Morrissey defends Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein and even PAEDOS in bizarre rant
MORRISSEY says actor Kevin Spacey has been “needlessly attacked” following allegations of sexual misconduct.
The former Smiths frontman also said many actresses making claims against Harvey Weinstein “knew exactly what was happening”.
If you go through the history, almost everybody is culpable to have slept with minors

He added: “Afterwards they find it embarrassing or didn’t like it and turn it around and say, ‘I’ve been attacked.'
"But if everything had gone just fine and made possible a great career, they wouldn't talk about it.
“If you go through the history, almost everybody is culpable to have slept with minors. Why not throw all of them in jail?”
Oscar-winner Spacey will be replaced by Christopher Plummer in upcoming film All The Money In The World, despite the fact it is due to be released before the end of the year.
The announcement came after actor Anthony Rapp accused the 58-year-old of harassing him when he was 14 in 1986.
In an interview with German newspaper Der Spiegel, Morrissey was asked what he thought of the fact Spacey was being replaced.
He replied: "I think that's ridiculous. As far as I know, he was in the bedroom with a 14-year-old.
"Kevin Spacey was 26, the boy 14. In that case, you ask yourself where the parents of the boy were?
"You ask yourself whether the boy sensed what could happen.
"I don't know how things are with you, but I have never been in situations like these in my youth. Never.
"I was always aware of what could happen. If you're in somebody's bedroom, you need to be aware of where that could lead.
"Because of that, all of that doesn't seem very credible to me. To me it seems as if Spacey was needlessly attacked."
