Kevin Spacey Dropped from Film Amid New Sexual Assault Allegations

HeadlineNov 09, 2017

In Hollywood, more than a dozen men have stepped forward accusing actor Kevin Spacey of sexually harassing or assaulting them. The latest allegations came Wednesday, as Boston TV news anchor Heather Unruh said Spacey sexually assaulted her son last year in a Nantucket bar.

Heather Unruh: “It happened late night inside the Club Car restaurant and bar on Nantucket island. The victim, my son, was a starstruck, straight, 18-year-old young man who had no idea that the famous actor was an alleged sexual predator or that he was about to become his next victim.”

On Wednesday, director Ridley Scott said he’s removing actor Kevin Spacey from the finished film “All the Money in the World” and will reshoot his scenes with Christopher Plummer taking on Spacey’s role.
