Dreyfuss adds to Spacey allegation­s

-

RICHARD Dreyfuss’s son, actor Harry Dreyfuss, has come forward with allegation­s that Kevin Spacey groped him while he was at Spacey’s apartment with his father.

According to Dreyfuss’s account for Buzzfeed News, his father was working on the play Complicit at London’s Old Vic Theatre, where Spacey was artistic director, and the two Dreyfusses had gone to Spa- cey’s apartment to run lines. Harry Dreyfuss said he was sitting next to Spacey on a couch when Spacey “put his hand on my thigh”.

“He was an adult man, a hero of mine, my Dad’s boss, none of which were categories on my radar for sexual interactio­ns,” he said.

Dreyfuss said he twice moved away but was followed by Spacey who again placed his hand on his thigh and eventually this crotch.

According to Dreyfuss, his father didn’t notice the interactio­n because he was too engrossed with his script.

Dreyfuss said he didn’t take more drastic action when he was allegedly groped because he thought he was protecting his Dad’s career and protecting any future prospects of working with Spacey.

Since actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of behaving inappropri­ately towards him, multiple men have come forward alleging Spacey had behaved inappropri­ately.

“In retrospect, what disgusts me about Kevin was how safe he did feel,” Dreyfuss said.

“He knew he could fondle me in a room with my father and that I wouldn’t say a word.”
