Media Eye News Bureau: After being faced by a wave of sexual assault accusations, Kevin Spacey was accused by the head of a security company that worked on the set of Netflix’s ‘House of Cards,’ of racism.
Earl Blue, the head of VIP Protective Services claims that during the filming of the show’s first season, Spacey apparently used the N-word as he told his security manager that he didn’t want black security personnel watching the show’s trailer. He further stated that he complained to set managers about Spacey, who however responded stating, “That’s just the way he is.” It was further reported by an employee of Blue’s company that Spacey refused to even shake the hands of any black security guards on set.
Blue also claims that VIP Protective Services’ $1.1 million contract was not renewed, despite acknowledgement and praise from the show’s producers and for that he intends to sue the actor for loss of income.
Amid all the accusations of sexual assault and racism, Spacey, who played President Frank Underwood was fired from the House of Cards series and was also fired from Ridley Scott’s ‘All the Money in the World’ as well. Netflix also dropped plans to release a film starring Spacey called ‘Gore’ based on Gore Vidal.
