As the curtain is drawn back on liberal Hollywood, more and more skeletons are being uncovered.
A-list celebrity Kevin Spacey, a two-time Oscar winner and Bill Clinton insider that once called the president a “shining light” in politics, looks like the next know-it-all Democrat to fall.
Spacey said Sunday he is “beyond horrified” by allegations that he once sexually assaulted a 14-year-old boy — and wants the world to know he’s actually very sorry.
The liberal celebrity also posted on Twitter that he doesn’t remember the alleged pedophilia attack because he was incredibly drunk.

In an interview with BuzzFeed, actor Anthony Rapp said Spacey befriended him while they both performed on Broadway shows. Rapp was 14 when he attended a party at Spacey’s apartment in 1986, he said.
At the end of the night, an inebriated Spacey picked him up, placed him on his bed, and climbed on top of him, Rapp said.
Rapp said the 26-year-old was holding him down tightly, but he was able to get away and left the apartment.
Rapp, who is now 46 and starring in the TV show “Star Trek: Discovery”, said he came forward after allegations against Democratic donor Harvey Weinstein sparked conversations about sexual abuse and harassment in liberal Hollywood.
Spacey, who has fiercely protected his private life, had never disclosed his sexuality before but said Rapp’s story encouraged him to speak.
“I want to deal with this honestly and openly and that starts with examining my own behavior,” he said.
When that behavior is allegedly drunken pedophilia, an apology runs far short, critics say.
Instead, there needs to be an arrest.
