On April 27, comedian Jorma Takone from the Lonely Island crew just opened up about working with Kevin Spacey on Saturday Night Live back on May 20, 2006, Spacey was the guest host, and Jorma said being around him made him feel really uncomfortable on set. This was way before any scandals hit the headlines. Fast forward to 2017, and Spacey's career took a massive hit when over 30 men came forward with accusations of sexual misconduct and assault, including actor Anthony Rapp. A year later, he got fired from House of Cards over at all. Plenty of folks from Hollywood and beyond shared similar uneasy stories after those claims blew up, reshaping how people viewed the Oscar winners, past behavior on sets like SNL. Legally, Spacey beat the cases one by one, he was found not liable in Rapp's lawsuit, not guilty in a 2022 London trial involving four. Men and just last month settled another suit from three accusers.
Now he's popping back up, snagging a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 78th Cannes Film Festival in May 2025, and even, guessing on episodes of the show Many Market, signaling a quiet comeback in the industry. Stay in the know with entertainment and celebrity news. Today, AI-powered updates. I'm Corey with The Story.
