House of Cards actor Kevin Spacey will pay $1 million to the production company behind the show, to settle claims that he sexually harassed young male staffers on the show.
Spacey was dropped from the final season of the show in 2017. He was facing a $31 million judgment in the case, after an arbitrator found that the allegations were credible and that the production company MRC deserved to recoup its costs for scrapping the final season and starting over without him. He had agreed to pay the $1 million over multiple years in instalments equal to 10 per cent of his after-tax income. The company has also secured Spacey’s cooperation in trying to recoup the balance of its costs from someone better able to pay: its insurance company.
