In October 2017, actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of making a sexual advance toward him in 1986, when Rapp was 14.
Other men also alleged that Spacey had made unwanted advances and had sexually harassed and assaulted them as well.
As a result of the allegations, Netflix cut ties with Spacey, shelved his film Gore and removed him from the last season of House of Cards.
Spacey’s role as J. Paul Getty in Ridley Scott’s film All the Money in the World (2017) was reshot with Christopher Plummer in his stead.
As of May 2022, Spacey is faced with four counts of sexual assault in the U.K., according to the Crown Prosecution Service.
