More than 30 others have come forward with their own complaints against Spacey since BuzzFeed published allegations made by actor Anthony Rapp that Spacey made a sexual move toward Rapp when Rapp was 14, with accounts ranging from harassment to attempted rape.
What is Kevin Spacey accused of? Sexual assault allegation explained
On November 16, 2017, the Old Vic Theatre in London, where Spacey was artistic director from 2004 to 2015, reported that it had received 20 complaints of “a range of inappropriate behavior” from young men over the age of 18 through a hotline it set up to help with its inquiry into Spacey.
The public’s perception of his alleged behavior took a peculiar turn on Christmas Eve 2018, when Spacey attempted to address the public via his official Twitter account and what looked to be a YouTube fan channel.
(Some onlookers on the internet have speculated that the video is a hoax, a terrifying computer-generated simulation known as a “deepfake.”)
The video, titled “Let Me Be Frank,” implied that Spacey was reprising his role as Frank Underwood from House of Cards.
