Kevin Spacey may have escaped the New York frying pan, but next summer he’ll have to contend with a London fire.
Spacey was all smiles this week when a civil jury found him not liable for battery against “Rent” actor Anthony Rapp, who accused him of an unwanted sexual advance in 1986. Rapp, who was 14 at the time of the alleged encounter, was seeking $40 million from the former “House of Cards” actor.
But the worst-case scenario for Spacey had he lost that case would have been settling up whatever award the jury may have granted Rapp, who, on Friday, said his case was never about money, but “shining a light.”
