Actor Anthony Rapp accused Kevin Spacey of sexual advance when Rapp was 14 (1986 incident, revealed October 2017 amid Weinstein fallout). Spacey’s response conflated apology with coming out as gay (widely criticized). 15+ men came forward with similar allegations. Netflix fired him from House of Cards mid-production (killed off character), Ridley Scott reshot All the Money in the World replacing Spacey with Christopher Plummer in 9 days. Career ended overnight. 2022 civil trial: jury found for Spacey. 2023 UK trial: acquitted of all charges. Despite legal wins, Hollywood hasn’t welcomed him back. Career remains destroyed.
