Kevin Spacey, a well-known American actor, has become the latest figure to join the #MeToo movement that has swept the globe. However, the case of The Usual Suspect’s performers is a little strange, as an accusation prompted a large statement on their behalf.
The American actor is most known for his performances on American Beauty, The Usual Suspect, House Of Cards, and L.A Confidential. He was born in South Orange, New Jersey.

He is an acclaimed theatre actor who has played prominent parts such as Theodore ‘Hickey’ Hickman in The Iceman Cometh, Richard II in Richard II; Henry Drummond in Inherit The Wind, and Clarence Darrow in Darrow – a one-man show. He has been a staple in acting for more than four decades.
Throughout his acting career, he has received numerous awards, including Golden Globes, Tony Awards, and the most prestigious of all, the Academy Awards.
Kevin Spacey grew up in the shadow of a controlling father.
Kevin Spacey Fowler, an American national, was born on July 26, 1959, in South Orange, New Jersey. He has two siblings, Randall Fowler and Julie Ann Fowler, and was born to Thomas Geoffrey Fowler and Kathleen Ann Fowler.
His father was a neo-Nazi who was abusive toward his family, routinely abusing his wife and children. In addition, he is accused of sexually abusing and rapping his own son Randall.
Kevin went to Canoga Park High School before enrolling in Northridge Military Academy, where he was expelled after misbehaving with another student. Finally, he graduated from Chatsworth High School in California as co-valedictorian.
Prior to his success as an actor, the great actor considered a career as a comedian. During his time at Julliard School (1979–1981), when he studied acting and performed stand-up comedy at talent shows, he tried to build a name for himself as a comic.
Kevin Spacey’s Wife: Who Is She?
Kevin became an actor when his attempt to make it big in comedy failed. And, boy, could he act. From his portrayal of John Doe, a vicious killer in Seven, to Roger ‘Verbal’ Kint, a talkative mobster who invents an entire plot in The Usual Suspects, he has received praise for his performances.
And it’s not just his talent that has gotten him attention; his flings with Hollywood’s top personalities have also gotten him in the spotlight. In the past, the actor has been linked to a number of women. Despite a long and colorful dating history, he has never married, which has sparked both homosexual and straight speculations.
After graduating from high school, he dated actress April Winchell from 1976 until 1977. He dated American playwright Dianne Dreyer from 1992 until 2000 after launching his career in the film industry. He was also rumored to be dating Helen Hunt, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Ashleigh Banfield, all of whom he worked with on Pay It Forward.

Despite his countless connections with women, he has never had a long-term relationship and has never had a marriage. He was constantly accused of being gay because he refused to marry although being in his late fifties.
Kevin Spacey Has Been Charged With Sexual Abuse.
As the saying goes, the oppressed are the most oppressors. In the case of Kevin Spacey, it appears to be the same.
Many famous figures in Hollywood, like Harvey Weinstein, Ben Affleck, and Mark Schwan, have been accused of sexual assault and have had to face the public’s wrath as a result of the Me Too campaign. Men, as well as women, had been victims of these occurrences, and many had come out to speak out.
In the morning of 2017, there was a man who made headlines.
In October 2017, actor Anthony Rapp accused Kevin Spacey of making sexual attempts toward him while he was a juvenile during the filming of Star Trek when Spacey was in his twenties (he was 26).
Many victims, both men and women, have come forward since then, including members of his House of Cards cast and crew, as well as 20 people who worked with him at London’s Old Vic theatre, alleging sexual harassment and assault.
In addition, Heather Unruh accused him of sexual harassment, alleging that he had sexually molested her son. He had quickly progressed from a child who had witnessed violence to someone who resembled his father, an abuser.
In the Face Of Allegations, He Uses Sexuality As A Shield: He Comes Out As GAY
Spacey, who is worth an estimated £75 million, has paid a high price for the allegations leveled against him. He was fired from House of Cards, as well as a number of other projects. In the United Kingdom, the Spacey Foundation was shut down. Not only that, but his film Billionaire Boys Club, which had been one of the most anticipated, bombed at the box office.
The allegations also allowed the gay man to come out of the closet. Spacey, who has been questioned about his sexuality for the most of his career, came out as gay in the wake of Anthony Rapp’s allegations. On October 29, 2018, he took to Twitter to offer his side of the story, explaining that he has chosen to live as a gay man since then.
Despite his explanation of why he never married or had a wife, he did not receive the sympathy he had hoped for from the public. People were outraged with him because he came out as gay and used his sexuality as a pathetic excuse to disguise the devastation he had caused to others.
Kevin Spacey, you have to pay for your actions!
