May 1st was both now-deceased Kevin Spacey whistleblower Linda Culkin's 61st birthday, and the one-year anniversary of her story being carried in The National Enquirer / Radar Online.

[2/40] I wrote my first thread about Linda Culkin in late January, 2019. She died five weeks later, on February 27th, after being struck by a car while walking to her home in Quincy, MA. She had only been finished with her probation from her Kevin Spacey court case for a matter

[3/40] of months. Two more Kevin Spacey accusers, massage therapist Celso Alves and Norwegian royal Ari Behn, would die in 2019, making Culkin the first of three Spacey accuser deaths to occur in a ten-month period.

Linda Culkin was prosecuted for and pleaded guilty to sending

[4/40] threats to Kevin Spacey and his associates. However, the part of her story that was conveniently omitted from any and all news stories about her prosecution and publicly available court documents from her case is the undeniable fact that alongside

#LindaCulkin #KevinSpacey
[5/40] the threats she sent to Spacey, Culkin also undertook a relentless campaign of writing online about Kevin Spacey sexually abusing underage boys, years before the subject was finally exposed in the mainstream news thanks to accounts like those from

[6/40] Anthony Rapp @albinokid and the anonymous accuser in Vulture, among others, in 2017.

A recurring feature in Culkin's onslaught of online messages back in the day was her claim that she personally knew a young male sexual abuse victim of Spacey's.

[7/40] The May 1st, 2019, National Enquirer / Radar Online article about Culkin was the first publication to bring this to light, stating, "One of Culkin's young male patients told her the details of an alleged attack by the 'American Beauty' actor."

[8/40] @entylawyer mentioned it, too:

[9/40] In late 2019, The Associated Press wrote, "Prosecutors said at the time that Culkin became obsessed with Spacey after a patient told her of being attacked by him."

[10/40] Kevin Spacey drugging his victims with roofies was one of Spacey's alleged M.O.'s that Linda Culkin exposed, as early as 2011. Here she refers to Spacey committing "slucking" (likely a conflation of "sleep" and "sucking.")

[11/40] In late 2017, this same M.O. was finally revealed in the news when The Sun wrote that a man reported to London police that Spacey had committed the same act on him after the man fell unconscious in Spacey's apartment. He awoke to find Spacey performing fellatio on him.

[17/40] Spacey's supporters have claimed that the Spacey victim boy Culkin knew wasn't real and that she just "made him up." If that were the case, then how could Culkin have known about such a specific M.O. of Spacey's, that had never been carried in the news prior to Culkin

[18/40] talking about it? Likewise, while there has been online chatter about this roofies M.O., none of it that I have seen pre-dates Culkin's mentions of it, so she couldn't have "gotten the idea" from reading those.

#LindaCulkin #KevinSpacey
[19/40] If anyone is aware of any references to Kevin Spacey usinng roofies on guys that pre-date Culkin's (the earliest if which I know about is from April, 2011), please let me know.

[20/40] Culkin also wrote about Kevin Spacey unzipping young waiters' pants and sticking his hand down boys' pants, just like what was revealed years later that he has repeatedly done in incidents like the Nantucket groping case, among others.
