Kevin Spacey Accused of Sexual Misconduct by Eight House of Cards Employees: Report

[oberliner]

Kevin Spacey created a “toxic” work environment on the set of House of Cards through a pattern of sexual harassment and assault, eight employees who work on or used to work on the show told CNN.

One former production assistant accused the Oscar winner of sexually assaulting him during one of the show’s earlier seasons, CNN reports. All eight current or former employees spoke out anonymously for fear of reprisal.

They all alleged to the outlet that Spacey displayed “predatory” behavior on the set of the Netflix show, touching employees without consent and making lewd comments towards staffers who were usually young men.

1. Let the accusers take this to police..

I refuse to participate in a Trial By Media....

[Mike Nelson]

2. This is...

...no longer being drunk decades ago. It's not even workplace harassment, which is bad enough... The incident in the story is present-day sexual assault. I thought Trump getting away with this would make the issue less important - it's good to see people are not going to shut up.

3. What a phony-ass cretinous pig.

I always felt that the guy was too slick to be true, but I never imagined him engaging in outright "in your face" predatory behavior. Wow.

Next big role for Spacey ,the teary-eyed :
"I'm so sorry ... blah, blah, blah ... ongoing counseling... blah blah, blah..." contrition and image rehabilitation media tour.

4. So he's been engaged in they same pattern of sexual assaults for about 25 years,

and got away with it all because he's rich and famous. How many victims has he left in his wake?

[leftynyc]

6. Men don't have to be rich and famous to get

away with it. This goes all the way down to the manager at mcdonalds not allowing a young girl extra shifts to pay for her prom dress unless she puts up with his abuse and harassment. The is a problem with people in power over other people.

10. After reading all of this I'm suprised criminal charges haven't been filed against him!

He could spend the rest of his life in prison!

[Docreed2003]

5. This sickens and saddens me...

I always considered Spacey a great actor and one of the good guys....damn I was off the mark on that one!

[hlthe2b]

7. Me too. Depressing....

[lunasun]

8. And now he wents to a rehab to try to make the boo boo all gone

[angstlessk]

9. Damn you kevin spacey! You ruined House of Cards...not to mention

the boys/men you afflicted!

[Initech]

11. And he also threw the entire LGBT community under the bus.

And only made the Christian right's worst fears about gay people amplified. Although that might be the most Frank Underwood thing he's ever done in real life. And that's not a good thing.

[angstlessk]

13. I agree...most do not knoW the difference between a pederast

and a homosexual...DAMN YOU KEVIN SPACEY!

[angstlessk]

14. I love him in all his movies...I HATE HIM in his personal life!

[kwassa]

15. Spacey is very good at playing slimy characters ....

It makes me wonder now.

[Initech]

23. Yup!

Horrible Bosses - slimeball boss
House Of Cards - slimeball president
LA Confidential - slimeball cop
Baby Driver - slimeball mob boss

I do notice a pattern!

[Snake Plissken]

16. This is certainly newsworthy, but I don't get why it's tied to politics

The same goes for Weinstein, neither of them ever ran for office or played to role of political pundit like Bill O'Reilly.

I look at this the same way I look at all the other entertainer who have been accused of sexual abuse, like Ted Nugent, R. Kelly, or Chris Brown. I don't see the political connection that Republicans so desperately trying to make.

[crazycatlady]

17. To be fair

Kevin Spacey did play a POTUS on TV.


(The show could easily kill off his character and continue).

[Snake Plissken]

19. And killing off a few characters wouldn't be a bad idea, I couldn't even get through the last season

The characters just became too unlikable to keep my interest.

[Ilsa]

22. I haven't watched the last season yet.

I got frustrated seeing such disgusting human beings get everything they want. Got to where it sickened me.

[crazycatlady]

18. Dr. Luke (music producer) gets away with sexual abuse

Just follow what happened to Kesha and read what other top female artists (Kelly Clarkson, Pink) say about him.

[Snake Plissken]

20. I've heard about him, and there are many others

I just don't get why anything negative about Hollywood is instantly associated with the Democratic party, when the only two Hollywood celebrities to be in the White House are both Republicans

[crazycatlady]

21. Very good point

Democrats need to hammer that home.

(Or run our own celebrities.)
