We do not have too much of the news Kevin Spacey at the moment and, somewhere, there is perhaps no more evil given the shitstorm that it has taken a few months ago. Except that here, there again as a problem.

A little reminder of the facts : at the end of the month of October, just after the explosion of the case of Harvey Weinstein, it was the turn of Kevin Spacey to be in turmoil, when the actor Anthony Rapp accuses him publicly of misconduct sexual when he was 14 years of age (Rapp, not Spacey).

In a movement that still does not today, Kevin Spacey had defended in his coming-out. The consequences were disastrous for the actor, since, in less than a week, he was dismissed from his series House of Cards and is replaced by Christopher Plummer in All the money in the world. It’s called a fall precipitated.

Kevin Spacey has as a concern…

While the revelations about the cases of attacks in Hollywood multiply and did not spare anyone, one does not hear too many more to mention Spacey lately and this isn’t a bad thing. Except that, of course, this is completely untrue, as a new scandal comes splashing his image already tarnished.

And this time, it is not sexual assault, but a form of racism. Actually the site’s Daily Mail revealed exclusively a few days ago the confessions of a former security officer of the series House of Cards, Earl Blue. He and his team would have been the target of a behavior is particularly racist on the part of the actor on the set of the show in 2012. He is said to have complained of the presence of security agents in black on the tray, refusing to shake their hand at the time of the presentations. The most serious being when he surprised these same agents in full viewing of the trailer of the series, where it would have squarely launched a great big : “I do not mean that negroes look at my trailer.”

Of course, Earl Blue complained to the management, the situation is not acceptable and he would kindly send it to swell, since it would have simply said : “It is like this, you just have to make sure that he stays happy.” After this experience and, in spite of the good results of his team, the security agency has not seen his contract renewed.

If all this is true, it is not tomorrow the day before that we see Kevin Spacey on a screen.
