Over the past few weeks, the once-respected actor has become a toxic figure due to numerous allegations of sexual harassment and assault.

The floodgates opened after Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp — who appeared on Broadway alongside Spacey when he was a teenager — alleged that Spacey, then 26, “was trying to get with me sexually” during a party, when Rapp was only 14.

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.

Spacey has issued no public comments since Oct. 29, when he issued a lengthy tweet responding to Rapp’s allegations, coming out as openly gay and claiming to be “beyond horrified to hear his story.”
