    Kevin Spacey, the paedo poof.

    Netflix ends House of Cards amid Kevin Spacey allegations


    Company made decision ‘months ago’ but only let it be known after claims Spacey had made sexual advances towards a 14-year-old actor

    Netflix is ending its Emmy-nominated political drama House of Cards at the conclusion of its upcoming sixth season amid sexual allegations against Kevin Spacey.
    The final episodes of the TV series, starring Spacey and Robin Wright as ruthless political operators in the United States government, will air in 2018.
    News of the ending comes less than 24 hours after Spacey responded publicly to allegations that he made unwanted sexual advances on a 14-year-old actor in 1986.

    The allegations, from Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp, were first aired in an interview with Buzzfeed on Monday. Spacey responded on Twitter with an apology, saying he did not remember the incident, but that if it happened he believed it would have been “deeply inappropriate drunken behaviour” .
    Media Rights Capital and Netflix, who produce House of Cards, released a statement on Monday in response to the allegations against Spacey, saying they were “deeply troubled” by the news.
    “In response to last night’s revelations, executives from both of our companies arrived in Baltimore this afternoon to meet with our cast and crew to ensure that they continue to feel safe and supported. As previously scheduled, Kevin Spacey is not working on set at this time,” the statement said.
    A Netflix spokesperson confirmed to Guardian Australia that the decision to end the show was made months earlier, and not in response to the allegations about Spacey surfacing.
    House of Cards began in 2013, following husband and wife team Frank and Claire Underwood (Spacey and Wright) as they manipulated and murdered their way up the political ladder to the Oval Office. The show was nominated for 33 Emmy awards and eight Golden Globe awards, with Spacey and Wright winning best actor and actress Golden Globes for their performances.
    The show received favourable reviews for its first two seasons, but the response to recent seasons has been mixed.
    Social media response to the news has resulted in calls for the show to continue but with Wright as the sole lead.

    I see the gheys are all up in arms that he came out while apologising for trying to rape a 14 year old. That nasty little left wing annoying mincer Owen Jones has an article in the left wing guardian for those interested.

    The only thing about this which is vaguely of interest is the “Help I just escaped from Kevin Spacey’s basement”. Family Guy from 2005. Always wondered why Spacey never sued them.

    This bizarre sexual Inquisition is becoming evermore absurd by the day. One of America's most gifted actors is being persecuted because he might have laid on top of a fellow poof in the course of a drunken party over 30 years ago, a bit of japery that lay fallow for decades it was that fucking important.

    Madness, sheer fucking madness.

    Still, it might well end the current British government which of course is a huge fucking silver lining and with the election of a Labour government the Brexshit morons here will be well and truly fucked, so perhaps not a bad thing after all.

    That SeekingAss sees nothing wrong with trying to force yourself on a 14 year old with the excuse of being drunk is rather worrying but not suprising.

    26, I gather. Terrible crime though, to lie fully clothed over another person whilst drunk at a party 30 fucking years ago in a bit of tomfoolery.

    Quite how the "victim" has managed all this time without PTSD counselling and huge wads of compensatory cash is a fucking marvel.

    Sanctimonious claptrap from a proven and well known misogynistic hypocrite such as yourself would be quite risible if it were not such an emetic.

    Yes. SEA6 is in the works, but it may be the last. He's done and I don't see how it can continue without him. I believe the filming for SEA6 has already been pretty much completed.

    I've loved all my wives, you are correct in that I don't have much time for lawyers though male or female.

    Your sexist and misogynist views on women and rape are a matter of record on here.

    1 rape case from a decade ago where I was proven right and you're still bleating on about it. Yep conclusive proof I'm a misogynist. Surely you must have something more than that?

    That's always your answer in mitigation however even a cursory search of your posts and the keyword "rape" reveals that not only is it simply not true but that you have a history and pattern of misogynistic comments and views on the topic.
