shareUnless I'm missing something, I thought this was quite strange.
He was kicked off the show due to allegations which have still be aired in court and which he denies. Yet the judge here seems to have sided with the producers in finding it acceptable that they had to give him the boot and it was effectively his fault due to his behaviour.
Isn't this slightly presumptive of the outcome of an outstanding case?
'Cart before horse' seems to becoming more and more common these days.
shareI thought the same thing.
shareSo I wonder if he's found NG whether he gets it back? Obviously, not a chance in hell.
shareI think it is probably safer on the side of popular #MeToo movement, even for a judge. Good for his re-election and all.
shareSome armchair lawyers are suggesting it proves beyond doubt of KS guilt and will be found guilty in his forthcoming trial due to overwhelming evidence against him (Harvey style) .. But does it really? We'll see
share... and so it's come to pass. Spacey found not guilty:-

Does he get his $30 million back?
I cant support this decision. Spacey is a creep and probably deserves his cancellation. But so does Mel Gibson but somehow Hollywood just closed its eyes on his cancellation and he finds work and even got a freaking Oscar nomination after he was cancelled.
Is this case Spacey was fired from that show without any evidence that he did something wrong. It was just talk. But Netflix didnt wait for trial or opening of criminal case and fired him based on verbal accusations. Then lost money and now forces him to pay money.
And we all saw how sometimes verbal accusations dont stand in court or criminal case. Actor Ed Westwick was accused and fired from project. But then police looked into case and found no crime taking place and he was uncancelled. But his reputation was ruined and he lost roles and money.
