From widely reported allegation to legal court battle.
Former House of Cards actor Kevin Spacey is back in the news today, and this time it’s because one of his many sexual assault accusers is now officially suing him. According to TMZ, Rent and Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp is suing Kevin Spacey for the 1986 altercation between the two. Rapp filed the suit in New York City.
According to document records, obtained by TMZ, the alleged incident happened at a party at Spacey’s Manhattan home. At the time, the two actors were both performing on a Broadway production of Precious Sons. Rapp, who was 14, says that Spacy made aggressive passes at him such as grabbing his butt, lifting Rapp onto a bed, and laying over his body. Rapp states that he was scared and ran into a bathroom. The teenager then left the party.
But that’s not all, there is another plaintiff in Rapp’s lawsuit, however that plaintiff has decided to remain anonymous.
