Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp has sensationally accused Hollywood A-lister Kevin Spacey of inviting him to his Manhattan apartment when he was just 14 years old and making a ‘drunken’ sexual advance towards him.
Rapp, who is openly gay, made the allegations against Spacey in a story that was published by BuzzFeed News on Sunday, and hours later Spacey issued a statement via his Twitter account.
Spacey is accused of ‘laying down on top’ of Mr Rapp at a 1986 party when the Star Trek actor was 14 and said: ‘He picked me up like a groom picks up the bride over the threshold. I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually.’
The Oscar winner has apologized for ‘what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior’, although he said he didn’t remember it.
The House of Cards star also revealed that he has had relationships with men and women throughout his life, but now chooses ‘to live as a gay man’.
Actress Rose McGowan, who has accused Harvey Weinsten of raping her, has led a backlash with many accusing him of coming out to divert attention from making a sexual pass at then child star Mr Rapp.
MailOnline can also reveal the Oscar-winning star was accused of assaulting the loved-one of a TV journalist two weeks ago as Spacey suggested there could be more ‘stories’ about him to emerge.
