U.S. Dramatist Kevin Spacey to Make Another Court Appearance - American acting sensation Kevin Spacey returns to judicial proceedings
Revised Article:
Kevin Spacey, the once-revered actor, finds himself in hot water yet again. This time, a civil lawsuit has been filed against him in the UK, as reported by various media outlets. Back in the summer of 2023, Spacey had been cleared of all sexual misconduct charges. But now, it appears he's back in the legal spotlight. The suit also encompasses the London Old Vic Theatre, where Spacey was actively involved at the time of the alleged incidents. Specifics regarding the accusations remain unclear.
This marks the third time Spacey has been embroiled in such a legal battle. In October 2022, a New York jury similarly acquitted him, following accusations of sexual harassment by his fellow actor, Anthony Rapp, who was only 14 at the time of the alleged incident. Rapp was the first to publicly accuse Spacey during the fall of 2017.
Spacey's career took a significant hit after the initial accusations. Netflix cut ties with him from the successful series "House of Cards." Ridley Scott even altered all his scenes in the film "All the Money in the World," replacing Spacey with Christopher Plummer.
Kevin Spacey: "Back on the Horse"
Recently, there were signs of a potential comeback for Spacey. Sharing a post on his X-account last October, he suggested that he was back on his feet, captioning a photo of himself on horseback as, "A bit battered, but glad to be back in the saddle."
Regardless of the serious allegations, Spacey maintained his innocence. Last year, during an interview with British host Piers Morgan, he admitted to crossing boundaries and groping, but stopped short of admitting guilt.
Enrichment Details:
The lawsuit, filed by Ruari Cannon, an actor, targets Spacey and two organizations linked to the London Old Vic Theatre, where Spacey served as artistic director from 2003 to 2015. The lawsuit's specific details have not been disclosed, and the lawsuit is separate from Spacey's 2023 criminal trial, where he was cleared of several charges. Spacey has faced various civil and criminal lawsuits related to sexual misconduct allegations, which he consistently denies. The lawsuit was filed at London's High Court on February 12, 2025, but further details remain unavailable.
After the recent filing of a civil lawsuit against him in the UK, new allegations of abuse against Kevin Spacey have surfaced. This lawsuit, separate from his 2023 criminal trial, targets Spacey and two organizations linked to the London Old Vic Theatre.
Despite these renewed allegations of abuse, Spacey has continued to maintain his innocence, stopping short of admitting guilt during a 2024 interview with British host Piers Morgan.
