In 2017, actor Anthony Rapp accused Kevin Spacey of making s*xual advances toward him when Rapp was just 14. Multiple others soon came forward with similar allegations. The fallout was immediate: Netflix severed ties with Spacey, removing him from House of Cards, and he was replaced in All the Money in the World. Spacey denied the allegations but faced lawsuits and criminal charges, though some were later dismissed or settled. Even though he has maintained his innocence, Spacey’s career remains in limbo along with his case sparked broader conversations about power and accountability in Hollywood.
