Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp has accused Kevin Spacey of mounting him on a bed in 1984 when he was just 14 and Spacey was 26.
The openly gay actor told BuzzFeed the incident happened when both were appearing in Broadway shows (Rapp in Precious Sons and Spacey in Long Day’s Journey Into Night). Rapp said he hasn’t spoken with Spacey since the incident, and that his “stomach churns” at the thought of Spacey’s success. Rapp said he felt the need to come forward after the Harvey Weinstein scandal opened the floodgates.
“He was trying to seduce me,” Rapp said, adding “I don’t know if I would have used that language. But I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually.”
One night, Spacey invited Rapp to his apartment for a party; later, Rapp says, he found himself bored and watching TV in Spacey’s bedroom when he realized that he was the only one left in the apartment with the actor, who was 26 at the time.
Spacey then appeared and “sort of stood in the doorway, kind of swaying. My impression when he came in the room was that he was drunk.”
Rapp, who is now 46, claimed that Spacey then “picked me up like a groom picks up the bride over the threshold. But I don’t, like, squirm away initially, because I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’ And then he lays down on top of me.”
Rapp alleged that Spacey was holding him down while tightening his grip on Rapp, who was able to get away after some time.
“I was like, ‘What is happening?’” he told BuzzFeed News. “I saw on the counter next to the sink a picture of him having his arm around a man. So I think on some level I was like, ‘Oh. He’s gay. I guess.’ Then I opened the door, and I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to go home now.’ He followed me to the front door of the apartment, and as I opened the door to leave, he was leaning on the front door[frame]. And he was like, ‘Are you sure you wanna go?’ I said, ‘Yes, good night,’ and then I did leave.”
Rapp said he opened up in light of allegations against Harvey Weinstein, James Toback, Mark Halperin and others. “Not to simply air a grievance, but to try to shine another light on the decades of behavior that have been allowed to continue because many people, including myself, being silent. … I’m feeling really awake to the moment that we’re living in, and I’m hopeful that this can make a difference.”
Update: “My bad. I’m gay”

Wait a minute. Homosexuals are real big into pedophilia. No way. Catholic Church. Boy Scouts. Muslims with those “dancing boys”. Pedowood. Stop being a homophobe. Fucking boys in the ass is liberal and natural.
Tip for parents. Queers have horrible hair pieces and do not care. Take it to the bank. Beware the coach of any kind with a James Brown wig that requests a one on one.
I was drunk, it was 30 years ago… gtfo you piece of trash. Should be waterboarded the rest of your natural life.
Good move on Spacey’s part. Salient reference to statue of limitation, being drunk, not remembering. Good luck w/ that lawsuit.
So the outspoken liberal who excels at playing creepy unlikeable psychopaths likes to diddle underage children in the pooper? I’m shocked, shocked.
Where were the parents of a 14 year old kid? He was fourteen and going to a party with adults. WTF?
why was part of his response to this the need to announce he’s gay? Is that supposed to be viewed as justification for the alleged action?
