Actor Kevin Spacey comes out as gay, as he apologises for 1986 sexual advance on boy aged 14
Fellow actor Anthony Rapp says Spacey carried him to a bed and lay on top of him when he was a teenager and Spacey was 26
Kevin Spacey has apologised to fellow actor Anthony Rapp for a 1986 incident in which Rapp said Spacey made a sexual advance to him when Rapp was only 14.
Spacey said in a post on Twitter he was horrified to hear Rapp’s story of the encounter, which he said he did not remember.
He wrote that he owed Rapp a “sincere apology” for what he said would have been “deeply inappropriate drunken behaviour”.
In an interview with BuzzFeed, Rapp described attending a party hosted by Spacey in which the actor picked him up, brought him to a bed and lay down on top of him after other guests left.
“He was trying to seduce me,” Rapp told Buzzfeed.
“I don’t know if I would have used that language. But I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually.”
