‘House Of Cards’ Season 6: Production ‘Suspended’ Due To Kevin Spacey Allegations
Netflix’s political drama “House of Cards” has been cancelled in light of Kevin Spacey’s sexual allegations, but what about its next season? With production in full swing for Season 6, people have started to wonder - will the show still meet the light of day?
To answer their questions, Netflix and MRC shared a joint statement with Entertainment Weekly: “MRC and Netflix have decided to suspend production on ‘House of Cards’ season six, until further notice, to give us time to review the current situation and to address any concerns of our cast and crew.”
So for now, “House of Cards” fans have no choice but to wait and see whether they will still see their favorite political couple Frank (Spacey) and Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) dominate the White House.
Spacey’s woes began after he was accused by actor Anthony Rapp, 46, of sexual misconduct dating back to 1986. Rapp, who was 14 then while Spacey was 26, claimed that Spacey harassed him at a party when he was carried “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 told Buzz Feed.
In response, Spacey said he was “beyond horrified” by the story since he could not even remember the encounter.
“But if I did behave as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years,” Spacey added in the statement, before coming out as gay.
“I know that there are stories out there about me and that some have been fueled by the fact that I have been so protective of my privacy,” Spacey said. “As those closes to me know, in my life, I have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic relationships with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man. I want to deal with this honestly and openly and that starts with examining my own behavior.”
