Netflix CANCELS House of Cards amid Kevin Spacey pedo sex allegations

by The Right Scoop

Kevin Spacey has gotten a ton of blow black after his statement last night addressing allegations that he tried to hit on an underage boy back in the 80s, primarily for trying to distract from the accusations by coming out as a homosexual.

But today Netflix has decided to use the occasion to cancel all future seasons of House of Cards:

DEADLINE – As allegations of unwanted sexual advances in 1986 by Kevin Spacey against a then teenage Anthony Rapp have emerged, Netflix today has decided to pull the plug on House of Cards after the upcoming sixth season next year.

Coming just over 12-hours after the Star Trek Discovery star first made public his allegations on October 29 of what happened at a party at Spacey’s NYC apartment back in the mid-1980s, the streaming service made the decision today sources tell us. Key cast and creatives were alerted this morning.

We have also heard that Netflix’s Spacey starring film Gore about the acerbic author Gore Vidal may be on the chopping block now too. The Reed Hastings run streaming service has stayed official silent on the sexual advance claims. No word yet if the NYPD are looking into the matter that occurred in their jurisdiction back in 1986 between then 14-year old Rapp and Spacey.

Late Sunday, Rapp claimed that then 26-year old Spacey drunkenly put the then teen on a bed to “seduce” him. “I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually,” Rapp said last night of the 1986 incident when the Stacey and he were both on Broadway in a revival of Long Day’s Journey Into Night and Precious Sons respectively.

Shortly afterwards, an apologetic Spacey issued a statement on social media saying he “did not remember the encounter” but added he was “horrified” by what Rapp described. “If I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior,” Spacey also said.

In also using the occasion to seemingly shift focus in announcing publicly that he had “choose now to live as a gay man,” The American Beauty star drew harsh rebukes swiftly online and otherwise. As for Rapp himself, the actor said on Twitter after Spacey’s apology and announcement that he had “no further comment ..at this time.”

According to Rapp’s claim, 26-year-old Spacey didn’t just put him on a bed, Spacey climbed on top of him in trying to seduce him! Eek!

Rapp doesn’t say anything else about the incident and says he’s not going to:

Here was Spacey’s response that’s gotten him into so much hot water:

And this also seems oddly related…from 12 years ago!
