Kevin Spacey, an American actor of great notoriety having played in American Beauty, How to kill his boss, House of Cards, Superman Returns, Usual Suspects, has been admired for thirty years. However, the latter saw his image tarnished again in 2018 with three additional accusations of sexual harassment against him.
2017: First accusations and descent into Hell for K. Spacey
Since the Harvey Weinstein case in October 2017, accusations of harassment have continued to increase in the heart of Hollywood. Kevin Spacey is among the accused. Indeed Anthony Rapp throws the first stone in November 2017. He claims that Kevin Spacey tried to abuse him when he himself was 14 years old and Spacey was 26. Some employees of the series House of Cards said that the atmosphere on the sets was more than unhealthy, because of the predatory behavior of the Oscar-winning actor.The, BBC News will report that Scotland Yard has opened an investigation. But the accusations multiplying against Spacey, Netflix announces that he will no longer appear in any episode of House of Cards. Netflix is also canceling the release of the feature film Gore, about the life of writer Gore Vidal that Spacey had just directed. Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven), who had just shot with Spacey the film All the Money in the World, reworks all the scenes in express mode where the actor was to appear by replacing him with Christopher Plummer (Benjamin Gates and the treasure of the Templars), a month before its release in theaters.Subsequently, his agent will also cease his collaboration with him. A descent into hell for a professional actor.
Wandering hands only on young men?
It has been reported several times that Kevin Spacey had wandering hands, notably by Guy Pearce (L.A Confidential) in an interview with Andrew Denton. Pearce stated:
"Ah, yes… It's not easy to talk about him lately. He's a very great actor, an incredible actor. He gave me a bit of a hard time. He has wandering hands. Luckily, I was 29 at the time, not 14."
With a touch of irony, the latter refers to Anthony Rapp in this statement. While Kevin Spacey would have confessed in a message Tweeter his homosexuality, he would have apologized at the same time.But a new testimony emerges, against K. Spacey. Indeed, Roberto Cavazos would have said that many have a history with Kevin Spacey, it was enough to be a man under 30 years old for him to feel free to touch us.
2018: A premature end to his career?
The website Variety specifies that three new complaints were registered in 2018. Two in February and the third in April for events dating back to 1996, 2008 and 2013 respectively.It is likely that the multiple charges against K. Spacey are definitely ending his career, no matter what judgment is rendered. In November 2017, Bryan Cranston (Malcolm, Breaking Bad) declared that Kevin Spacey's redemption is unimaginable.
A movie star known worldwide again in a case of harassment that will not be without consequences for the latter. Some people are indeed certain, that the career of the actor sees its last moments and this regardless of the outcome of the investigation.
