Attorneys for Kevin Spacey claim that Anthony Rapp manufactured sexual misconduct allegations against the Oscar-winning actor because he was jealous of his success and angry about his own stalled career.

manufactured sexual misconduct allegations against the Oscar-winning actor because he was jealous of his success and angry about his own stalled career.

Rapp “peaked around the year 2000 and he grew bitter about not getting parts as an openly gay man,” Keller added. “This was something that never should have happened,” Peter Saghir, an attorney for Rapp, said during his own opening arguments. “Kevin Spacey made a sexual advance on Anthony when he was 14 to gratify his sexual desires,” he added at another point.

In a 2017 article in BuzzFeed, Rapp claimed that he attended a party at the actor’s New York City apartment. At that gathering, he went into Spacey’s bedroom and at one point realized he was the last person at the party. He claims that Spacey blocked the doorway, preventing him from leaving the room, and eventually picked him up and put him on his bed. He then allegedly climbed on top of Rapp.
