Kevin Spacey to Seek Treatment as Sexual Accusations Grow
Many of the accusations regarding Mr. Spacey involve behavior
that would have taken place when he was artistic director of the Old Vic theater in London, a position he held for 11 years, until 2015.
LONDON — The publicist for Kevin Spacey has announced
that the Oscar-winning actor is seeking treatment, as reports emerged that the London theater where he was the longtime artistic director turned a blind eye to allegations of sexual misconduct.
“But if I did behave then as he describes,” he said, “I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior.”
The day after that apology, Netflix announced that the next season of “House of Cards,” in which Mr. Spacey starred, would be its last.
In a statement provided to on Wednesday, Mr. Spacey’s publicist said: “Kevin Spacey is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment.
On Sunday, the “Star Trek: Discovery” actor Mr. Rapp told Buzzfeed News
that Mr. Spacey had invited him to a party at his apartment in 1986, where he had made unwanted sexual advances.
