Netflix cancels House of Card over Kevin Spacey harassment allegations

House of Cards

The Weinstein case seems to have been the starting gun to bring to light what is not seen in Hollywood, the dirty laundry in which sex is a very important part, but for the worse. Earlier this month, producer Harvey Weinstein was accused by more than a dozen actresses, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, and Mira Sorvino, of sexually harassing a large number of actresses. Although it was an open secret, no one dared to speak out against one of the most important producers in Hollywood. His Hollywood career was ended up denying his entire industry. But he is not the only one, since now it seems that it is Kevin Spacey's turn.

One of the mythical series that have made Netflix the most popular VOD platform today is House of Cards, a series that is about to premiere the sixth season, a season that will be the last, as Netflix has affirmed a day after uncovering the accusation of sexual harassment against Kevin Spacey by Anthony Rapp, when he was 14 years old, one of the actors who is part of the crew of the new Netflix series Star Trek Discovery.

The statements made by Kevin Spacey do not help calm the waters:

Honestly, I don't remember an encounter that happened 30 years ago. If I behaved in the manner he claims, I owe him the sincere apology for deeply inappropriate behavior.

Spacey has taken advantage of the statement to affirm that throughout these years, he has maintained relationships with both men and women, acknowledging his homosexuality in the same statement. Spacey, who was one of the executive producers of the series, may have seen his career, not only as a producer, but also as an actor, finally come to an end, watching the new direction the Hollywood industry is taking with sexual harassers.

What is clear is that now that the cinematographic industry has begun to recognize these open secrets, Kevin Spacey will not be the first or the last actor who will make headlines for these kinds of accusations ending their respective careers.
