KHEeVadGyIVEN THE FLICK BY NETFLIX

KEVIN Spacey has been ditched by Netflix amid more allegations of sexual harassment and assault.

The streaming service said it had severed all ties with Spacey, who stars as US president Frank Underwood in its political drama House of Cards.

Netflix has also axed Gore, a film starring and produced by Spacey.

The actor has been accused of sexually harassing eight members of staff on House of Cards.

A spokesman for the channel said: “Netflix will not be involved with any further production of House of Cards that includes Kevin Spacey. We have also decided we will not be moving forward with the release of the film Gore.”

It came as the Met Police launched an investigation into claims that the star sexually assaulted a 23-year-old actor at his London home in 2008. The man told police he woke up after smoking cannabis to find Spacey performing a sex act on him.

He reported it this week after a spate of sex abuse allegations emerged against Spacey in the USA. The Usual Suspects star faced claims he had tried to rape a 15-year-old.

The complainant said he was 14 when he began a sexual relationship with Spacey, who was then 24.

But he ended it after the alleged attempted rape at the star’s New York flat in 1984. He said: “He is a paedophile.”

On Friday the Oscar winner faced three more allegations – one involving a teenager, another claiming he grabbed a man’s penis and chased him in a club, and the third saying he got an assistant to request sex on set. Spacey “absolutely denied” the claims, his lawyer said. But he has apologised to actor Anthony Rapp, who said Spacey made a sexual advance towards him when he was 14.

Spacey claimed not to remember the incident but added: “If I did behave then as he describes I owe him the sincerest apology.”

Scotland Yard said yesterday: “It is alleged a man assaulted another man in 2008 in Lambeth.

“Officers from the Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command are investigating.”
