Sexual harassment allegations

Encouraged by the sexism debate about Harvey Weinstein , actor colleague Anthony Rapp said in an interview with BuzzFeed at the end of October 2017 that he had been sexually molested at a party by the then 26-year-old, drunk Spacey at the age of 14 in 1986. Spacey replied to Rapp on the microblogging service Twitter that he could not remember after 30 years. He apologized for the "inappropriate drunk behavior" and used the explanation to come out as a homosexual . His statement was sharply criticized by numerous acting colleagues, representatives from show business, by human rights and LGBT organizations as well as on social media, because Spacey indirectly constructs a connection between sexual assault and homosexuality. Spacey had previously vehemently shielded his private life from the press. Shortly after the allegations against Spacey, his brother Randall Fowler spoke up.
