‘I never knew’ Spacey

- Peter Sblendorio

Robin Wright says she and her “House of Cards” colleagues were “surprised” and “saddened” by the sexual misconduct allegation­s against Kevin Spacey that led to his ouster from the show.

The actress — who now becomes the face of the Netflix series following Spacey's firing — says she and her longtime co-star didn't have a relationsh­ip outside work, but she did not elaborate on whether she ever saw red flags regarding his alleged behavior.

“We were co-workers, really. We never socialized outside of work,” Wright said in a “Today” show interview with Savannah Guthrie that aired Monday. “Really, I didn't know the man. I knew the incredible craftsman that he is.”

Spacey, 58, was canned by Netflix in early November, less than a week after the first wave of allegation­s against the actor emerged.
