Kevin Spacey ‘sexually harassed House of Cards employees’

Kevin Spacey sexually harassed numerous people on the House of Cards set, turning it into a “toxic” environment, eight people have claimed.

One staffer, a former production assistant, said that Spacey sexually assaulted him during one of the early seasons of the show.

All eight employees called Spacey’s behaviour “predatory,” adding that it included non-consensual touching and sexual comments.

The two-time Oscar winner, who is executive producer on the show, generally targeted production staff who were young and male, they said.

British police are currently investigating an allegation of sexual assault made against Spacey.

An alleged victim claimed today that after being invited to Spacey’s London home for a drink in 2008, he passed out – and woke to find the Hollywood star performing oral sex on him.

The Seven star has been dropped by both his publicist and talent agency following numerous allegations.

One of the eight former and current House of Cards staffers, a production assistant, said that Spacey sexually assaulted while he was bringing the actor from an offsite location to the set.

Just minutes away from their destination, with Spacey driving the car, the star of the show put his hands down the staffer’s trousers, he said.

The touching was not consensual, he added, recalling: “I was in a state of shock.

“He was a man in a very powerful position on the show, and I was someone very low on the totem pole”.
