The final season of *House of Cards* sees Frank "Kevin Spacey" Underwood gone for good, and Robin Wright taking over... I believe as the president? Unless they shot the White House to the moon and switched to a monarchy, but that seems unlikely. It's nice to see four women get the star treatment at the premiere (most of the group photos were very centered around them) but I wish I were as enamored of [Robin Wright's comments on Kevin Spacey](https://variety.com/2018/biz/news/robin-wright-kevin-spacey-second-chances-1202925386/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). She sort of took a non-stance of "Gee, I didn't really know him," and then said she feels sorry for him in the same way she feels sorry for... well, here:

> *"I feel sorry for anybody whose life is in the public arena,” she said. “It’s a nightmare, can you imagine? We do a job, we share \[a performance\] with viewers. Why does our private life have to be public? I hate that part of this industry. It’s so invasive. I believe everyone’s personal life should be personal. Positive, negative, neutral, whatever – I don’t believe it should be anybody’s business. But I’m not talking about this \[#MeToo\] movement. I’m talking about media. The exposure. It’s an awful feeling. A stranger deciding they know who you are and they are going to put that in a…I mean, it’s criminal, it really is.”*

That, to me, is word salad. It's taking a very specific issue of one man's apparent gross and pervasive misbehavior and trying to spin it into a false equivalency, but poorly. Being hounded by paps, or releasing a statement every time you end a relationship, or whathaveyou, is not the same things as having actual allegations against you reported in the media. Further, one could argue that her quote, however inadvertently, argues a) that nobody should *ever* speak up about personal violations, and b) the media should ignore them, simply because "personal \[lives\] should be personal." At the very least, that's the slippery slope her argument is waxing its sled to go down, and I wish she'd thought through what may well be an "I told Netflix I wouldn't rag on Spacey" interview a bit more.
