US court drops all sexual harassment charges against actor Kevin Spacey (6 photos)
For five years he was hounded and considered a preoccupied pervert. Now it turned out that he did not molest anyone, and all this time the public "drenched" an innocent person.
Kevin Spacey has dozens of movie roles. And which ones: in "Beauty in an American way", "The Suspicious Persons", in the film "Seven". List it can take a long time, but even from these works it is clear that this is not the latest actor.
He acted a lot, directed the theater in London, received awards ... and then he seriously flew in.
In 2017, one Anthony Rapp stated that in 1986, when he was 14 years old, Spacey molested him at a party in New York. Kevin then turned 27 years old.
A scandal erupted and the actor was instantly “cancelled”: they tore all the film contracts he was supposed to be in and dropped him character from the mehn-successful series "House of Cards". In it he succeeded star in five seasons, and in the sixth - he was thrown out into the cold. ironic that the producers of the series sued Spacey for the fact that now their show lose ratings and demanded $31 million from him. First kicked out and then sued. They won that trial.
Spacey was bullied almost simultaneously with a famous producer Harvey Weinstein. Togo was accused of harassing women, and Spacey - to the men. So they began to shy away from the "toxic" Spacey like fire and he could no longer dream of any cinema or theater.
Then this actor Rapp also sued and demanded $ 40 million in compensation from Spacey.
And at a recent meeting, the jury ruled that Rapp could not prove Spacey's guilt. And the judge dismissed the case. Furthermore, Spacey's lawyer said that all this was originally a fiction: in order to promote on a scandal with a famous person and make money.
By the way, Spacey was accused of harassment by several other guys, in including from the film crew of "House of Cards". But none of them I could not give any intelligible facts and evidence, so they even were not considered. Looks like these guys wanted to make some money too but it didn't work out.
It turns out that all the accusations were far-fetched, and the well-known the actor just like that, “for fun”, was doused with mud and thrown out of the profession. What is called, "the culture of cancellation in full growth." For some reason under it mostly male actors fall: Depp, Spacey, now spud Brad Pitt.
Kevin Spacey is now 63 years old. In principle, it can still be filmed in movie. But even if it doesn’t work out, he was able to regain his good name. Though something.
