'House of Cards' ending amid Kevin Spacey scandal
Netlfix has pulled the plug on their hit show 'House of Cards' amid allegations its star Kevin Spacey made sexual advances toward actor Anthony Rapp when he was only 14 years old. Netflix says the currently filming sixth season will be the last.
Kevin Spacey was officially removed from CBS’ upcoming special celebrating the 50th anniversary of “The Carol Burnett Show.”
Entertainment Weekly confirmed Wednesday the 58-year-old actor has been cut from the previously recorded show after being accused of sexual harassment by multiple people.
Variety, which attended the taping of the two-hour special, reported Spacey had filmed a musical number with the 84-year-old comedienne, as well as Kristin Chenoweth and Bernadette Peters. It’s unknown whether the number will still be aired without Spacey’s appearance.
Spacey has been accused of attempted rape by a man who says he was 14 when the actor allegedly became physical with him. Actor and singer Anthony Rapp also accused Spacey of sexual assault back when Rapp was 14, and two other men have come forward alleging Spacey was sexually inappropriate with them.
Additionally, Spacey reportedly crossed the line with “House of Cards” staff. Netflix cut ties with Spacey following the numerous allegations.
London police are reportedly investigating Spacey for a 2008 sexual assault.
