Kevin Spacey has set a splendid example for the new faces in Hollywood, and his two Oscars are proof of it. But despite being such a fabulous actor, the House of Cards star got caught in a lot of controversies as he was charged with nine counts of s-xual assaults a few years back.
As per reports, the 64-year-old was alleged to have ‘aggressively’ grabbed the cr-tch of three men and of grabbing another’s cr-tch ‘like a cobra’, following with a ‘barrage of vile comments’. One aspiring actor even charged Spacey of having allegedly performed a s-xual act on him while the former was sleeping. Following this, Star Trek actor Anthony Rapp too stepped up to accuse the Oscar-winner of having s-xually abused him at a party when he was 14.
Spacey is said to have performed all the above-mentioned s-xual assaults among others between 2001 and 2013. The actor, however, denied all such allegations, calling them ‘madness’ and a ‘stab in the back’.
