A second man has accused Kevin Spacey of sexually harassing him. Tony Montana, a filmmaker, alleges that the House of Cards star was intoxicated when he “groped” his groin at a Los Angeles bar in 2003. It comes after Netflix cancelled its flagship series starring the actor, following allegations that he sexually harassed a 14-year-old boy. Speaking to the online website Radar, Mr Montana, who was in his 30s at the time, makes a number of unsubstantiated allegations about the star, claiming: “I went up to order a drink and Kevin came up to me and put his arm around me. He was telling me to come with him, to leave the bar. He put his hand on my crotch.
Mr Spacey was not available for comment on the allegations, which emerged as the Old Vic theatre that Spacey ran for more than a decade urged anyone who may have a complaint of sexual harassment or inappropriate behaviour to contact them. The appeal was made less than 24 hours after the theatre issued an initial statement saying that no one had come forward to say they had been sexually harassed by the actor.
The Old Vic announced that it had appointed “special advisers” to handle confidential calls from anyone who wished to raise concerns about their treatment while employed or connected to the theatre. A spokeswoman said the theatre was “deeply dismayed” over historical harassment allegations made against Spacey, its former artistic director.
