Kevin Spacey Comes Out As Gay Amid Allegations Of Sexual Assault..
Kevin Spacey has come out as gay amid an allegation of sexual misconduct made against him by Anthony Rapp, dating from when the Star Trek: Discovery actor was just 14 years old.
"I honestly do not remember the encounter, it would have been over 30 years ago. But if I did behave as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology," he said.
With the story having already effectively outed Spacey to the general public, Spacey then used the opportunity to explain that he had been 'living as a gay man' for a number of years.
"This story has encouraged me to address other things about my life. I know that there are stories out there about me and that some have been fuelled by the fact that I have been so protective of my privacy. As those closest to me know, in my life I have had relationships with both men and women."
