《纸牌屋》取消续订,只因男主性侵丑闻曝光!
Beau Willimon, the creator of House of Cards, has issued a statement on social media regarding the misconduct allegations against Kevin Spacey. Beau Willimon offered his support to Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp who accused Spacey of sexually assaulting him when he was 14 years old. “Anthony Rapp's story is deeply troubling,” Willimon wrote on Twitter. “During the time I worked with Kevin Spacey on House of Cards, I neither witnessed nor was aware of any inappropriate behaviour on set or off. “That said, I take reports of such behaviour seriously and this is no exception. I feel for Mr. Rapp and I support his courage.” Rapp, who was previously best known for leading the film Rent, alleges that Spacey climbed on top of him at a party when Spacey was 26. Spacey has since issued a statement on the accusations, saying: "I honestly do not remember the encounter, it would have been over 30 years ago.” "But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years." Spacey then revealed he is gay, writing: "I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man." Spacey's decision to reveal his sexuality alongside the apology has proven controversial, many Hollywood commentators criticising the statement. |
