Spacey apologized last weekend to actor Anthony Rapp, who had accused him of trying to seduce him in 1986 when Rapp was 14. CNN reported on Thursday that eight current and former employees of “House of Cards,” who were not identified, alleged sexual misconduct against Spacey.
“House of Cards” has streamed on Netflix and has been produced by the company Media Rights Capital (MRC).
“We will continue to work with MRC during this hiatus time to evaluate our path forward as it relates to the show,” the Netflix statement said.
Netflix also said on Friday it would not release the film “Gore,” which was in post-production and was produced by Spacey. The film was about the late writer Gore Vidal, with Spacey playing him.
