Kevin Spacey’s career was booming until 2017 when allegations of sexual harassment derailed it. The first major accusation came from actor Anthony Rapp, who claimed Spacey made an unwanted advance when Rapp was 14. Spacey’s response, which included coming out as gay, was widely criticized for seeming like a diversion.
Following these allegations, Spacey was fired from House of Cards, and projects involving him, like Gore, were canceled. Ridley Scott replaced Spacey in All the Money in the World with Christopher Plummer. Various other accusations followed, leading to more professional setbacks.
In legal battles, Spacey faced multiple charges, including a high-profile case in the UK where he was eventually acquitted in 2023. Despite these controversies, he is attempting to make a comeback with the film Peter Five Eight. Support from some industry figures suggests he might return to acting, though his future remains uncertain.
