A DESTROYED CAREER - At the time of the events, in 1986, Spacey was 26 years old. It ends like this the civil trial in which Rapp had asked the Hollywood star for compensation of 40 million dollars. Spacey, present in the courtroom, hugged lawyers and immediately left. Following the allegations received in 2017 in full MeToo, the Hollywood star had seen his career interrupted, with the exclusion from the cast of the successful series House of Cards , the cancellation of film  Gore  and deleting from All the money in the world of the scenes in which he appeared, replacing him with another actor .

THE HOMOPHOBIC FATHER - It took the jury less than 90 minutes to reach their verdict.

It meant my siblings and I were forced to listen to hours and hours of my father teaching us his beliefs.” The allegations against Spacey have multiplied over the years. Eight crew members of House of Cards , the son of actor Richard Dreyfuss and that of journalist Heather Unruh have claimed they were molested by Spacey. while other cases date back to the period in which the latter was artistic director of the Old Vic. Some of them turned out to be unfounded, but still in May 2022 an English court indicted him for sexual harassment between 2005 and 2013 against three men when they were still minors.
