Just as Frank Underwood's Washington tenure is coming to an end, so does the career of the man who plays him, Kevin Spacey.
In the aftermath of today's allegations of unwanted sexual advances in 1986 by Kevin Spacey against a then-teenage Anthony Rapp, Netflix has decided to pull the plug on House of Cards after the upcoming sixth season next year, Deadline reported.
Citing sources, Deadline says that the decision was made today, just over 12-hours after the Rapp first made public his allegations on October 29 of what happened at a party at Spacey’s NYC apartment back in the mid-1980s, with key cast and creatives were alerted this morning. Furthermore, Netflix’s film Gore which stars Spacey about author Gore Vidal, i said to also be on the chopping block. There is no word yet if the NYPD are looking into the matter that occurred in their jurisdiction back in 1986 between then 14-year old Rapp and Spacey.
The sexual assault claims, which were implicitly validated by Spacey, came as the Emmy nominated House of Cards is currently in production in Maryland on its sixth season.

Doesn't matter anyway. I got rid of Netflix. They raised their prices, and selection was not all that great. Not the same Netflix as the old days. They grow to big and then forget what made them successful.
ReplyDeleteThat show always reminded me of the Clinton's rise and fall.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed- or at least maybe i should be- that all of the MSM outlets are falling bait, lie and sinker for his announcement that he's gay - duhhh- but nothing about these allegations and the reasons Netflix is pulling the plug.
It's not always what is said that makes propaganda what it is. Many times, it's whats withheld that can be more misleading.
Look at Uranium One.
I don't know how ANYONE can put any credibility on MSM anymore.
Brilliant actor. What a waste.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it...So I won't miss it. Won't miss him either, write the dude off my watch list.
ReplyDeleteGuilty until proven innocent wow our country has gone to crap
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite actors. Agreed 3:10 PM, a tremendous waste. He's no longer on my "must see" list.
ReplyDelete32 years later someone wants to come forward to say these things. that is what a waste is. Spacey is a great actor and if it was that much of an issue or what ever, maybe not wait so long to come forward. Sucks Netflix is getting rid of that. It should be our decision to watch it or not.
ReplyDeleteHe is a kid rapist and admitted it. What part of KID sexual assault are you missing? Are you registered?
