Report: Kevin Spacey Turned the Set of "House of Cards" Into His Own "Sick Sexual Playground"

Season six looks increasingly doubtful, unless they just kill Spacey in the first hour.

I mean his character.

Sort of.

Kevin Spacey turned the set of "House of Cards" into a sick, sexual playground -- where he used to harass and abuse young staffers, a report says.

Eight people who currently work on the show or worked on it in the past have come forward and accused the Oscar-winning actor of misconduct, with at least one person claiming he was sexually assaulted.

They spoke to CNN on Thursday and detailed Spacey's alleged actions.

"I have no doubt that this type of predatory behavior was routine for him," explained a former production assistant, who chose to remain anonymous, as did the others...

The man remembered how Spacey had asked him to help bring some belongings to his trailer, which he did. Once inside, the movie star allegedly made his move -- cornering him and blocking the exit -- while inappropriately touching him at the same time.

"I told him, 'I don't think I'm OK with this, I don't think I'm comfortable with this,'" the former assistant said, noting how Spacey became "visibly flustered" before eventually fleeing the trailer.

...

One crew member who was on the set for all six seasons claimed the actor touched and harassed him on a regular basis.

"He would put his hands on me in weird ways," they said. "He would come in and massage my shoulders from behind or put his hands around me or touch my stomach sometimes in weird ways that in normal everyday conversation would not be appropriate."

Reminder: Slate recently had a professor who agitates for "reform" of pedophilia laws write a column claiming that it's not pedophilia if the target is 14 years old.

And once again, our self-appointed caste of Brave Truth Tellers chose to protect their Guild and their careers rather than actually bravely telling the truth.
