A probe carried out by The Old Vic theater in London into their former artistic director Kevin Spacey has found over 20 testimonies of inappropriate sexual behavior.
“This investigation concluded that there have been 20 personal allegations of incidents relating to The Old Vic ranging from 1995 to 2013, with the majority [all but two] falling before 2009,” the theater said in a statement.
The theater recently opened a probe into Spacey amid a range of sexual abuse allegations against the actor, which include claims he made an unwanted advance on fellow actor Anthony Rapp back in 1986. Another man has since alleged that Spacey raped him when he was 15-years-old and described the actor as a “pedophile.”
Meanwhile, eight people who worked on the set of Spacey’s award-winning Netflix political drama House of Cards have also accused him of creating a “toxic” work environment by sexually harassing them, and engaging in “predatory behavior.”
Spacey’s career has since imploded, with Netflix producers confirming that his character Frank Underwood will be cut from future seasons of the series. He has also been edited out of the upcoming Ridley Scott film All the Money in the World and replaced by another actor, Oscar-winner Christopher Plummer.
“The Old Vic does apologize for what happened, or what is alleged to have happened,” said the theatre’s executive director, Kate Varah. “That apology really goes to the people who feel they were affected by this but what is also important to understand there is a new way forward for this organization.”
Spacey has offered very limited comment on the allegations, but a spokesperson said earlier this month that the actor was “seeking evaluation and treatment.”

“Probe” and “Kevin Spacey” in the same sentence. I laughed.

I have to check back to see if I was in LA when he was there so I can claim something.
So, it's all been ON RECORD, but they chose to turn a blind eye.
Just for curiousity and some laughs, I changed my Roku theme to "House of Cards", it was still on there as a freebie, and it still loaded. Robin Wright Penn's still worth seeing once in a while. Regarding whether the sudden stop for showbiz careers will be permanent, three words -- Pee Wee Herman. Thanks drewh.
Thanks. He’s pathetic. Sadly, he did some great work at the Old Vic. Too bad he couldn’t leave it at that.
He must have p*ssed-off the wrong person for all of this to spill out into the open.
That would have to be when wasn’t playing for the other team.
