It's a loss for Kevin Spacey.
The actor was objecting to arbitration which found he had breached the terms of his contract, getting fired from
House of Cards
, after being accused of sexual harassment on set.
His departure had caused the premature end of the Netflix series.
Justice therefore looked into the case and confirmed the first decision.
As relayed by ET, the actor must pay more than 31 million dollars in compensation to the production of
House of Cards
.
Trial pending
This is the first legal sentence handed down to Kevin Spacey since being charged with sex crimes.
In 2017, actor Anthony Rapp, who has since filed a civil complaint, said he was sexually harassed at the age of 14 by his eldest, who was then 26, in the 1980s. Following this revelation, many men have denounced the behavior of the multi-award-winning actor.
If complaints have been filed, none has so far been successful.
Charges for indecent assault and sexual assault have been dropped in Massachusetts.
Others are still in progress, notably in the United Kingdom.
Four counts have been brought against Kevin Spacey, for sexual assaults committed on three men between 2005 and 2013. The former interpreter of Frank Underwood has pleaded not guilty.
The trial is scheduled to begin on June 6, 2023.
