Morrissey has never been known for keeping his opinions to himself, but in a recent interview with Der Spiegel he discussed sexual assault allegations against Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein which have made many people furious. Judging by the German translation of his interview and also the reader’s interpretation, he appears to many to be suggesting that victims of these two men should have known better than to get themselves involved in situations where they could get hurt.
During the interview, Morrissey did clarify that he is firmly against rape and sexual attacks of any kind, according to the Independent.
“I hate rape. I hate attacks. I hate sexual situations that are forced on someone.”
Yet in the same breath, he also suggested that victims of sexual abuse and assault may merely be disappointed.
“But in many cases one looks at the circumstances and thinks that the person who is considered a victim is merely disappointed.”
