Kevin spacey seeks treatment stars face harassment claims
Kevin Spacey is seeking treatment after being accused of sexual harassment and assault by several individuals, including actor Anthony Rapp, who alleged that Spacey made a sexual advance towards him when Rapp was just 14 years old.
Spacey's representatives announced on October 30, 2017, that the actor was seeking treatment and would be taking a break from his career. The statement read:
"Kevin Spacey is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment. No other information is available at this time."
The allegations against Spacey were first made public on October 29, 2017, when Rapp, who is now 46, wrote a post on Facebook alleging that Spacey had made a sexual advance towards him at a party in 1986. Rapp claimed that Spacey had picked him up and placed him on his bed, and that he had felt uncomfortable and scared.
Since Rapp's allegations were made public, several other individuals have come forward with similar claims of sexual harassment and assault against Spacey. These allegations include claims of inappropriate behavior on the set of the TV show "House of Cards," where Spacey played the lead role of Frank Underwood.
The allegations against Spacey have led to a number of consequences, including the suspension of production on "House of Cards" and the cancellation of a planned film project. Spacey has also been removed from the upcoming film "All the Money in the World," which was set to be released in December 2017.
The allegations against Spacey are part of a larger movement of individuals coming forward to share their stories of sexual harassment and assault, which has been sparked by the #MeToo movement. The movement has led to a number of high-profile individuals being accused of sexual misconduct, including Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, and Louis C.K.
It's worth noting that Spacey has not publicly commented on the allegations against him, and it's unclear what the outcome of his treatment will be or whether he will face any legal consequences.
