Kevin Spacey Claims He Was Unfairly Fired From Netflix’s ‘House of Cards’ Amid Personal Scandal

Kevin Spacey has claimed he was ready, willing and able to film the sixth season of House of Cards, but insists he was unfairly fired on false grounds so red-faced producers of the Netflix hit could distance themselves from his personal scandal, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Spacey, 66, made the allegation during his fiery testimony in the Superior Court of California amid the legal dispute between Media Rights Capital (MRC), the show’s production company, and its insurer, Fireman’s Fund.

MRC has maintained Spacey could not continue his role as cutthroat President Frank Underwood as he suffered from a diagnosed sexual compulsion disorder, arguing that should enable it to recoup $100 million in losses linked to the actor getting axed, the report said.

But Spacey threw his former colleagues under the bus and countered that he was kicked to the curb because of the company’s embarrassment over his messy life.

As Globe previously reported, Spacey was booted from the streaming series in November 2017, and Netflix also terminated its agreement to release his film Gore. The one-two punch came days after Anthony Rapp alleged that Spacey had made an unwanted sexual advance on him in 1986 when the Rent actor was 14.

Fireman’s Fund suggests media fallout from the resulting black eye was behind Spacey getting the heave-ho.

The beleaguered bigshot denied 54-year-old Rapp’s allegations, and in a civil trial in 2022 a jury determined he had not molested the younger performer.

The two-time Oscar winner has since faced a flood of sexual misconduct accusations, but has maintained his innocence. Yet his Hollywood career still imploded.

Spacey was acquitted of nine charges of sexual assault from four complainants during a criminal trial in the U.K., but civil suits brought against him by three male accusers are slated to commence in London’s High Court in October 2026.

In November, Spacey moaned to The Telegraph: “The costs over these last seven years have been astronomical. I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out.”

During the MRC case, Spacey alleged there were “comments attributed to me that I never said” within his medical records from a rehab facility, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He added that while he cannot “professionally dispute” his sexual compulsive disorder diagnosis, “I can personally dispute it.”
