Netflix has cancelled its web series House of Cards after star Kevin Spacey apologized to actor Anthony Rapp for molesting him 31 years ago.
The popular series will end after its upcoming sixth season, theblast.com reports. Netflix met with cast and crew in Baltimore on Monday to ensure that they feel safe and supported.
The network released a statement, saying, “Media Rights Capitol and Netflix are deeply troubled by last night’s news concerning Kevin Spacey. As previously scheduled, Spacey is not working on set at this time.”

Rapp, 46, said Spacey climbed on top of him following a private party at his home in 1986.
Spacey, 58, apologized to Rapp on Twitter.com for his “deeply inappropriate drunken behavior,” which he claimed he couldn’t remember.
He also said, “I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose to live as a gay man.”
His half-apology sparked furor in the LGBT community which said the actor showed “bad timing” by linking homosexuality with child molestation.
British TV personality Sue Perkins blamed Spacey for hiding behind homosexuality to diminish the reaction to his predatory behavior.
“Well done Kev. You stay silent on your sexuality until the time comes when you can conflate it with an alleged sexual assault on a minor,” she tweeted on Monday. “In doing so, you simultaneously undervalue the horrific nature of the allegation and set back the LGBT+ community. Well done.”
They need to shut it down now. And I am a fan of the show. Do not show season 6. Ever. Ya’ll got stop it after ya’ll make a profit off the new season? Naw son.
I knew it was coming! And I love this show…
But to hear folks tell it…just *looks at right corner of the computer* EIGHT HOURS AGO ON HERE….NOTHING was gonna happen to him. HIS show wasnt gonna be canceled. Bc he is white. And NOTHING ever happens to anyone accused of sexual misconduct in Hollywood BUT BILL COSBY.
This is about to blow the lid off for all the pedophiles in Hollywood: Spacey, Bryan Singer, Sir Ian McClellan, Dan Schneider, etc. I hope they all lose their jobs
“His half-apology sparked furor in the LGBT community which said the actor showed “bad timing” by linking homosexuality with child molestation.”
He sure did. Trying to deflect. HA!
Good! #Kevinspaceyisaperv
well, homosexuality is linked with child molestation/pedophilia. but people can stay in denial and keep letting your gay relatives “babysit” for you and find out the hard way.
Well, everyone was wrong and let us PRAY this sticks!
will never happen. they OWN hollyweird. all of them are gay or pedophiles or both.
I’m into girls but I’ve never been molested or dealt with any pedophilia in or around my life.
what you talkin bout willis
lmao. damn
Spacey and Weinstein thought they owned Hollywood as well. Remember this: anything given to you can be taken away.
Me too…Claire is my favorite character
i bet all of hollywood is walking on egg shells all them old pedies are hoping some youngin wont expose them…but lets be honest we have been hearing about casting couch advance from the beginning of time theses wanna be stars know in advance that hollyweird is full of egotistical sexual predators
by that logic str8 people are safe? im just asking because i swear gay or str8 babysitting can have any outcome. only one you can trust is yourself
look at how many years went by with him
Wow! They wasted no time.
Kevin will be in rehab for alcoholism by the COB tomorrow. No later than say Thursday.
Everytime I read ” kevin climbed on top of him” I get kinda sick ?
And the victim was 14 when it happened while Kevin was 26! 14! On top of that, Spacey comes back with the “I don’t recall” bs
I know the rest of the cast are pissed. I would be. Good job Netflix!
Netflix ain’t got time for this…. You know how many good shows on Netflix …. A damn lot…. It will not be missed … I feel them…
And a sex addiction like Tiger Woods.
I side-eyed everyone that said Cosby was only being persecuted AND prosecuted because he was in procesd of buying NBC. Playing the race card and sexuality card are no longer working.
YES. Watch. ALL OF it. I knew this was gonna happen. When I say I woke up this morning and seen this shit and IMMEDIATELY was thought: welp this a wrap for that show?
Them days is gone chile…. ? …They will get caught … That’s a promise … And I do mean finished …. Who said this chile? .. Folks ain’t getting away with shyt now … Nerp!
Yea. I took that into consideration too. It’s crazy out here.
Go read the very first Kevin Spacey post of the day. I was like really folks? It was “well lets see if they do him like Bill Cosby. We all know they wont bc he is white”. Same when the shyt hit the fan with Weinstein few weeks back. Hollywood and media are actually doing them the same if not worse. Reason I say THAT is bc THEIR accusers are Hollywood hopefuls. They are their FELLOW Hollywood actors and actresses.
Whereas the majority of Cosby accusers were trying to break in. Not real famous.
That fall out from Weinstein still happening. a new one falls out the woodworks about every 2-3 days.
We are probably going to hear about heart attacks and suicides soon.
Only because he connected homosexuality with pedophiles.
Usually child molesters that rape same sex kids don’t identify as gay so that’s why many are not liking your comment
What are they trying to take our attention away from by all of a sudden exposing this? Hmmmm
Hollywood needs to become a ghost town. I read Harvey Weinstein’s brother had a hand in bringing his mess to light, then the brother himself was accused of harrassment and now the whole company is in jeopardy, when it seems like he was only trying to boot his brother out..
Kevin alluded to more stories about him. The house of cards are indeed falling.
He acknowledged he might of molested a child in a drunken state of mind. You WEAK muthafukka!
Hollywood Enron.
Well we knew this was the next step!
Sad,yet true.
chile you know feverishly writing checks and frantically wiring money, LOL!!!!!
I loved Claire’s fashion on the show, simple sexy elegance, and she was smart as hell. I think I will miss her character the most, maybe if they kill off Frank they can do a spin off and the rest of the cast doesn’t have to suffer.
a damn animal, smh
“The house of cards are indeed falling.”
touche Ni Ni! touche chile!
Yes Kevin is a sleaze but what about the rest of the cast’s body of work. If they already filmed the season air it and let it be the end.
If he hadn’t pissed off the gay community that show would still be on.I doubt that they care that he is a ChoMo.
This is so stupid. So many young girls are molested by straight uncles cousins and family friends. Ugh
Where is the police?
I’m waiting for the animals to come forward, to tell how their master fck them at night while they all laying in the bed together…..PETA, BE ON STAND BY
Hell they finna have to cancel the rest of Hollywood if that’s how they going to do it. If I was the NFL I would hire investigators and leak as much stuff as I could. Get the public on something else. lol
So ignorant…
Your gay relatives are usually the ones paying all the bills for everyone, taking care of your aging parents and supporting the whole extended family. And more than happy to leave all the ‘babysitting’ to the parents…
I wish they could remove him from the creative team and recast him with another actor. It is a good show.
Yep. He gave folks validation by doing this. People always try to tie homosexuality with pedophilia. He made it worse by deflecting his actions with coming out the closet. In other words, I was a drunk gay guy who tried to pounce on a teenager. TF?
If you see the movie the Usual Suspects, Kevin gives one of the gayest performances ever. How nobody knew he was gay….is beyond me. Anyway, I’m sure there are others out there that will come forward.
Has anybody male or female filed a lawsuit over these charges?
that was just two brothers ratting each other out. your sin is bad, uh uh, yours is worse. uh uh, I only harassed 10 women, you harassed 11, etc etc.
A little disappointed, but not surprised. His reaction made it worse IMO. I enjoyed HOC, but I can definitely live without it. I partially think this is about money, bc he could have been replaced with another actor.
Hollywood is going to implode the hits are going to keep coming .
Disgusting
A damn good actor…all i got.
Now I may be off base on this, as I’ve not researched this, but isn’t it also undignified for kevin to put the mans name out there?
Maybe he didn’t want to have that as public knowledge. Kevin could have just said he molested a underage boy and left his name out?
The brother brought it to light because they are in litigation about an inheritance…..he let Harvey go on doing his deeds all these years just to have a loaded gun when needed. Shame on all of them
Which we already knew he was gay so… lol
Damn!! They hv to give us a ending. Film something without him. Kill him off or something replace him like they use to do on the stories. “The role of Francis Underwood will be played by”
First Harvey Weinstein… then Kevin Spacey…. so, who’s next?
Something tells me there will be other names and secrets put out there in the next few weeks and months.
Homosexuals make up approx 2% of the population but the percentage of children being molested by a person of the same sex is between 25-40% according to a global study done in 2008. 90% of all sex offenders are male, so u can do the math
Keyser Soze was really Roger “Verbal” Kint. He walking down the street crippled with cerebral palsy then straightens his leg and fingers. And strolls down the street. That was one of the best endings of all time.
Okay if Kevin was black he would of been locked up in Riker’s Islands already.
House of Cards would have confirmed it. He was bisexual.
FIRST of all Kevin been gay !! And we not gone act like that’s news????? Now Rosie you and everybody who knew seen all guilty for sitting back knowing this man was a pedo and for all those that knew about Harvey y’all are wrong too
HE was thinking about sober but the alcohol gave him the balls to follow through nawl scratch that he used the alcohol as an excuse!! He should have spoke to a lawyer and released a statement I mean ppl kill ppl when they drink and drive and they go to jail as if they killed them sober so you raping someone and saying you was drunk does not excuse it ?????
THEy tired of hiding they will now do all this nasty mess in the open including messing with kids they doing all of this so we won’t be shocked or sensitive anymore !
I read on another site that this show was ending anyway I read that this was the last season anyway
I Bet it’s a lot of bank wiring and transfers or large amounts of cash being pulled out of accounts and large amounts being deposited Into other accounts some folks about to pay up to keep those things from coming out.
But wait.. I had no idea?? How did everybody know this?!. Im so lost ??
When charges from 15-30 years ago get filed and lawsuits happen then there will be no comparison all these folks doing is publicly shaming these ppl where are the lawsuits and threats of jail time?
Good actor terrible person….
But he not charged with anything and no lawsuits have been filed ????? I’ll wait …..
Here’s purses his lips his mannerisms he can’t hide it I’ve always Seen it in him but I felt like he was a good actor so I didn’t care who he was sleeping with. The same way ms. T Perry’s has a hard time hiding and holding back his madea tendencies
Man I freaking love this show ???
Hmmmmm.. I actually hadnt noticed I just thought he was a good actor.
LMAO!!!???Good strategy and I’m sure the NFL is digging up landfills of dirt on people to get the attention off of tgem right now..Lol!
Saw this in the comment section on a white blog https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/abf753ad3051f3b27431b790567a7b949ee13903f7343f128c19d7af04f451c1.png
Mannnn.. Fu ck Netflix as a staff, streaming app and as a motherf ckin’ crew!
He did not Molest him. The guy said he tried to touch him…Anthony Rapp never said he was raped.
Maybe he has executive rights to the show?
GOOD! I was over the show, it was just a wrap around with no justice.
Trumptard
As a gay man I didn’t know , but then again I wasn’t really looking or checking . I don’t recall the other person saying he was molested only touched. Still not a good look. I read something yesterday saying they had plans to cancel HOC before this even came out?????
This is terribly disturbing. :-/
And the curtain continues to fall. Hollyweird is a sick twisted place full of sick twisted people. Pervs freaks and pedos.
She was my favorite too. And that’s a good idea.
Mine too!
It’s probably been the worst-kept “secret” in Hollywood for a while now…
http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/the-rumours-that-have-surrounded-kevin-spacey-for-years/news-story/623913998f4530df1f6d133f2624309c
Smh
Yep ?
Right….its turns my stomach knowing that people knew and still gave him a platform. Hollywood is becoming Hollywood at this point….
Same here I thought he was a phenomenal actor and good at his craft. I never got a rainbow vibe from him at all…
True…
If Netflix were going to cancel HOC before this scandal they would have said so in order to save face.
He replied after the man, Anthony Rapp, put his own name out there and told his story. He named Kevin Spacey as the person who came on to him, and Spacey responded with that public statement he just issued.
yes!!!!! it’s about to be a surprise merry xmas for some folks, Lol!
Let me find the article. One moment
That’s not all together true. Hollywood puts actors on pedestals black or white.
So now they have a “+” too? What happened to the “Q”? I never knew what it meant, but I find it interesting they get a new letter or symbol in the acronym so often
Yes, there’s no way they would just up and cancel a show five seasons — with no conclusion. This was done entirely because of the scandal. I never watched it, but it did intrigue me. But there’s no way I want to see Kevin Spacey in anything now.
I feel bad for his cast members on the show, the writers, the behind-the-scenes people — all of whom lose their jobs because Kevin Spacey is a pedophile. But I understand, because there’s no way I’m supporting or watching a Kevin Spacey show. Still, unfair to people who didn’t deserve to lose their jobs.
Same here.
Lol, i Say the same damn thing whenever they add something new….LGBTQA+. Yes there is an “A” and a “+” in there.
Apparently the + is the Abbreviation for LGBTQIAKP .Q ueer,Inters exual, As exual, K ink, Polygamous/Polyamorous. That’s what I just read anyway.
No they are choosing not to proceed after the “upcoming” season 6. Plenty of ppl will still get their checks. He is one of the executive producers of d show, smh. Anyways that show is slowly going down the tank after this last season. It would truly mean something if Netflix decided to absolutely cut and shut everything down but they are still trying to get the money they put in this show.
Drunk people crawl on other people all the time. However, I dont buy kevin explanation cause what was a 15 year old doing there after the party ended. And why was he at this homosexual party anyway. Bad form. Seems kev only dates 20 year olds now.
So they are just putting everybody in. Trying to build up their numbers. Pretty sure asexuals and kink people dont want to be included.
Its their way of getting new members. Some groups dont want to be included so they rolled them into +.
I actually was on that website months ago and askedabout the pic. Someone said he was at college night at some bar. He was drunk.
The show cost too much. I agree with you.
1. They are trying to take the weinsteins company. Harvey wasnt moving fast enough.
2. Hollywood in general is losing too much money and they want to get rid of people. Speilberg just lost a ton last year. I think they will come for him next.
3. Trump and koch brothers.
4. China is taking over africa and the carribean.
5. No one cares about isreal anymore.
6. Russia is a superpower again.
This is why we can’t have nice things ?
Sad a fake President is being held to higher standards than the real one. I don’t think the show should be cancelled they can easily kill off Frank and let Claire take the lead Robin Wright deserves it.
At this rate, there won’t be any male actors & TV hosts for the tv shows on tv. I mean honestly, everyday I look up there’s another actor (Andy Dick) is fired from a movie….or a TV executive is under investigation. The problem is these claims come from women who had things done to them – allegedly — 20/30 years ago. So the only reason to bring it up now is to kill the man’s career.
I see some impending lawsuits.
Dam!
Oh wow !! Scouting for some young is what he was doing
I agree, I love this show and don’t want to see it go.
they made it seem that he just happened to get drunk there on college night. I said he didn’t have to be gay to horse around. a gay guy said no he was scoping the talent.
