- Anthony Rapp accussed Kevin Spacey of seducing him when he was just fourteen years old.
- Kevin Spacey issued his sincere apology to the public.
- Kevin Spacey came out as a gay man after apologizing to Anthony Rapp.
Anthony Rapp told the Buzzfeed News that in 1986, Kevin Spacey had invited him to a party at his home. Rapp stated that he was the only one at his age range at that time so he settled in watching the television instead. Later that evening, Spacey physically carried Rapp to bed and tried to initiate sex. Spacey was a twenty-six-year-old man and Rapp was just a fourteen-year-old teen.
“He was trying to seduce me. I don’t know if I would have used that language. But I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually.” Rapp recalls during the interview. Eventually though, Rapp squirmed free and left Spacey’s home.
This created allegations that Kevin Spacey may be, in fact, gay.
Hours after the interview was published, Spacey responded with his sincere apologies towards Rapp, claiming that he was probably too drunk to recall the incident in question.
Spacey stated that, “I have a lot of respect and admiration for Anthony Rapp as an actor. I’m beyond horrified to hear his story. I honestly do not remember the encounter, it would have been over 30 years ago. But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years.”
This allegations and story has led him to address some parts of his life that never made public such as his romantic life.
“This story has encouraged me to address other things about my life. I know that there are stories out there about me and that some have been fueled by the fact that I have been so protective of my privacy. As those closest to me know in my life, I have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man. I want to deal with this honestly and openly and that starts with examining my own behavior.”
Bottomline is, Spacey initiated sex with Rapp when the latter was just fourteen making people speculate that Spacey is gay. And indeed, he is.
