As previously scheduled, Kevin Spacey is not working on set at this time. In response to last night’s revelations, executives from both of our companies arrived in Baltimore this afternoon to meet with our cast and crew to ensure that they continue to feel safe and supported. Media Rights Capital and Netflix are deeply troubled by last night’s news concerning Kevin Spacey. In response to Vox’s request for comment on the allegations against Spacey, Netflix and Media Rights Capital gave the following statement: The disturbing allegation and Spacey’s bizarre attempt at an apology have gotten widespread attention and condemnation, respectively.
Shortly thereafter, Spacey released a statement in which he claimed not to remember the incident and then formally came out as gay. The news came less than 24 hours after Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp came forward with allegations against House of Cards star Kevin Spacey, telling BuzzFeed that Spacey sexually assaulted him when Rapp was 14 years old. Netflix has further stated that it will “evaluate our path forward” so far as the show’s futures goes.Īccording to reporter Lesley Goldberg, the decision to end House of Cards was made “months ago,” but the announcement nevertheless raised eyebrows for its timing. After revealing that House of Cards, Netflix’s first and longest-running original drama series, would end in 2018 with its sixth season, Netflix and House of Cards production studio Media Rights Capital have since suspended production to look into the newly reported sexual harassment and assault allegations against star Kevin Spacey.
