Kevin Spacey admits there were times when he crossed the line
Anthony Rapp’s allegations that the actor molested him as a teenager were the first of many lawsuits to come against him. In an interview, when Maher asked him about the story and how many cases there were, Spacey admitted that there were times when he crossed the line. He also said: “I never said there was no fire. It wasn’t a forest fire, it was a small kitchen fire that could have been put out with a fire extinguisher.”“Additionally, he shared that he has “paid a lot” for his actions over the past 9 to 10 years. “When people start to hear the truth, to understand what we won in the courts, I think people will now look at this and think, maybe it’s been nine years”, he explained.Over the years, as soon as these cases became known, the actor faced many problems in the industry. This included the cancellation of two of his biggest projects, ‘House of Cards’ and ‘All the Money in the World.’ He lost another chance and lost his house. However, little by little, the actor has started booking indie projects, which include ‘The Awakening’ and ‘Peter Five Eight.’NOTE: If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, assault, or harassment, please seek help immediately.
