The veteran British actress has previously condemned the behavior of Spacey and Weinstein, who have both been accused of sexual harassment, but she told UK publication The Radio Times that the men’s screen and stage work should not be diminished.
London theater The Old Vic received at least 20 personal testimonies of alleged inappropriate behavior by Spacey, who was its artistic director between 2004 and 2015. None led to criminal prosecution. The formeractor appeared earlier this month in a Massachusetts courthouse as part of a case in which he is accused of groping a young man in 2016, an allegation he denies.
Dench also defended Spacey, whom she describes as a “good friend”, at last year’s San Sebastian Film Festival.
Gross
Next time you peruse your bookshelf, or your dvd and cd collection, be careful what you admit to enjoying. And keep your mouth shut in theatres and art galleries, museums and cathedrals, lest you let slip some 'incorrect' appreciation.
Wise, gracious and honest Lady!
Look, these people did bad things, but they didn’t make films by themselves. Thousands of people work on a single film. Thousands of people put in long hours and hard work that goes unnoticed/appreciated. If you enjoy a film watch it for them, not the ones who did something bad.
If she thinks it's okay to watch movies made by/with either of these disgusting men, that's up to her....I choose not to reward them financially and I know it affects others too but that's the way the cookie crumbles I guess. Dame Judi...nope!
That tears it, I'm burning my 'Skyfall' iTunes rental receipt!!
Finally a lady that speaks sense. Punish them for crimes they committed by proving them at court of law but you can’t take away their contribution to cinema
Judi Dench.....while an amazing actress....is also 80% blind.
This tweet is getting the clicks you wanted, but it is so misleading and damaging that it's also getting you unfollowed. Shame on you for this click bait!
Misleading. C'mon. Do better, please!
Context of what she says matters, which this headline removes the nuance.

Judi Dench Defends Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey's Work: 'Are We Just Not Going to See All Those Films?''Are we going to negate 10 years at the Old Vic,' the London theater where Spacey served as artistic director, 'and everything that he did,' the star asks in a British magazine interview. Yeah, pretty much just not gonna see those films. I'm good. They are horrible people. But their movies aren’t. Just like how Michael Jackson’s music is amazing, but he was a monster Judi is right. Everything thrown at Kevin and Harvey have been allegations, nothing concrete. Why the 'victims' have only spoken up after so many years boggles the mind.

Trump defends Saudi Arabia's murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by saying Iran kills people too'If you're going to look at Saudi Arabia, look at Iran, look at other countries,' the president said. And america kills ppl How do you defend murder with, 'other people do it too'? It happens everywhere in the world, that doesn't mean you don't do everything in your power to stop it from happening. Trump cares about money over America, and it's high time all his blind followers start to realize that. America needs to cut all ties with Saudi Arabia. Not allow them to be harmed which the Saud family absolutely deserves, but stop propping them up, make them liable to accountability in the region and if they don't get better then they get what they deserve.
