Kevin Spacey’s date with karma lingers on with yet another legal blow
Kevin Spacey can’t seem to catch a break. A New York judge just ruled that sealed depositions in an arbitration suit related to the actor’s behavior on the House of Cards set are fair game in an ongoing sexual assault lawsuit against him.The two-time Oscar-winner saw his career crumble in 2017 when a series of former co-stars, students, and associates accused him of sexual misconduct.
Amid the media outcry, Spacey also decided to finally come out of the closet as a gay man.Spacey’s coming out only invited even more criticism, as LGBTQ activists accused him of trying to use his coming out to deflect against the charges of sexual misconduct.
Spacey found himself fired from House of Cards, and in essence, became an industry pariah.The ensuing years saw Spacey become the subject of various lawsuits, including a 2020 suit filed by Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp.
Rapp is currently suing Spacey for sexual assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress under the Child Victims Act.
