8 people who work on House of Cards accuse Spacey of harassment

All 8 people from the show say Spacey’s behaviour was ‘predatory’

Los Angeles: Eight people who currently work on House of Cards or worked in the past have accused Kevin Spacey of creating a “toxic” environment on the sets through his “predatory” behaviour.

Spacey is also accused of sexually assaulting a former production assistant on the Netflix drama, according to CNN.

The new accusations come just days after actor Anthony Rapp revealed that Spacey made sexual advances toward him in 1985 when he was 14-yearold.

All the eight people from the show spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity. They said Spacey’s behaviour was “predatory” and involved non-consensual touching and crude remarks.

Spacey, the lead star and an executive producer on House of Cards, recently announced that he was taking a break from acting to seek treatment and evaluation.

The former production assistant on the show said Spacey assaulted him in the car while they were coming to the sets. The actor, who was driving, inappropriately touched him. “I was in a state of shock. He was a man in a very powerful position on the show and I was someone very low on the totem pole and on the food chain there,” he said, adding the actor again made inappropriate contact in the trailer while he was coming out

after keeping his belongings there.

“I have no doubt that this type of predatory behaviour was routine for him and that my experience was one of many and that Kevin had few if any qualms about exploiting his status and position. It was a toxic environment for young men who had to interact with him at all in the crew, cast, background actors,” he said.
