Anthony Rapp
Anthony's Story
On October 29, 2017, actor Anthony Rapp alleged that Spacey, while appearing intoxicated, made a sexual advance toward him at a party in 1986, when Rapp was 14 and Spacey was 26. Rapp actually first publicly talked about this story in 2001 with The Advocate - but The Advocate elected to redact identifying details from the story.
On the same day in 2017, Spacey stated through Twitter that he did not remember the encounter, but that he owed Rapp "the sincerest apology” - he also took that opportunity to publicly come out as gay.
Spacey's decision to come out via this statement was criticized by many prominent gay celebrities, including Billy Eichner, George Takei, Lance Bass, and Wanda Sykes, as an attempt to change the subject and shift focus from Rapp's accusation.

Spacey's bizarre response
Let Me Be Frank
In December 2018, Spacey posted the “Let Me Be Frank” video. While in character as Frank Underwood – he appeared to deny the real-life allegations against him. Described as “bizarre,” “stomach-churning,” “threatening,” and “creepy,” the video has over 13M views.
“Part of what allowed the Harvey situation to occur was that there was this witting and unwitting conspiracy of silence. The only way these things can continue is if there’s no attention being paid to it, if it’s getting forgotten.”
