“McKellen applauded victims for coming forward about sexual harassment saying “it’s sometimes very difficult for victims to do that.” He added, “‘I hope we’re going through a period that will help to eradicate it altogether.””
“‘I assume *nothing but good* will come out of these revelations, even though some people get wrongly accused — there’s that side of it as well,” he said.”
“McKellen also addressed the allegations surrounding Kevin Spacey […] saying that the way he chose to come out was “reprehensible because it linked alleged underage sex with a declaration of sexuality.””
