Kevin Spacey Accuser Has Norwegian Royal Connection; Says The Actor ‘Groped’ Him
More and more men are coming forward and accusing former “House of Cards” star Kevin Spacey of sexual assault. This time, one of his accusers even has ties with the Norwegian royal family.
Danish-Norwegian writer Ari Behn, formerly married to Princess Märtha Louise, told the Norwegian radio station, P4, that he was harassed by Spacey during the Nobel Peace Prize concert in Oslo 10 years ago. Spacey co-hosted the event that year alongside Uma Thurman, according to the Daily Mail.
“We had a nice conversation, he was sat next to me,” Behn shared. “After five minutes, he says, ‘Hey, let's go out and have a cigarette,’ and then he touched me right on the (genitals) under the table.”
Behn was married to the only daughter of King Harald V and Queen Sonja. She is fourth in line to the Norwegian throne after her brother Crown Prince Haakon and his two children. Their wedding was big news in Norway, but they decided to file for a divorce in 2016.
It was “Star Trek: Discovery” actor Anthony Rapp who opened a can of worms when he accused Spacey of sexual harassment dating back to 1986. After, several members of the “House of Cards” crew came forward and accused Spacey of making their work environment toxic because of his “predatory” behavior.
A former production assistant told CNN that Spacey sexually assaulted him during one of the show’s early seasons. The employee claimed that Spacey put his hands down his pants without consent while he was driving the actor to the set. Later, Spacey cornered him and touched him inappropriately.
The others shared their own harrowing experiences, but requested for anonymity out of fear of professional repercussions. One crew member even said that Spacey “would put his hands on me in weird ways,” including massaging his shoulders and touching his stomach.
The others accused Spacey of nonconsensual touching, and they said that the actor was fond of making crude comments towards production staffers who were typically young and male.
Because of the accusations, Spacey was booted out from “House of Cards,” and he has now checked himself into sex addicts rehab.
