Rapp’s story led to numerous other accusers coming forward, which resulted in Netflix issuing a statement declaring that the streaming service will “not be involved with any further production of ‘House of Cards’ that includes Kevin Spacey.”

In addition, Spacey’s already-filmed scenes in the Ridley Scott-directed All the Money in the World will be reshot, with Christopher Plummer taking over his role.
