Kevin Spacey has been fired from House of Cards season 6 for sexual misconduct.
The five employees, who only came forward during MRC’s internal investigation after Spacey was fired, could not reasonably be connected to the $31 million in damages, according to Jonathan E. Phillips, Spacey’s attorney. On the other hand, MRC’s attorney said that the allegations made against Spacey prior to his dismissal are closely linked to the arbitration award.
Judge Mel Red Recana of the Los Angeles Superior Court confirmed that Spacey must pay MRC$31 million as a result of the evidence
Spacey’s legal team sought to have the $31 million arbitral award set aside in 2022. Things didn’t go well as they claimed the actor’s actions were nothing more than “sexual innuendo” and “harmless mischief” and were therefore from the Anti-Harassment Policy. Spacey must adhere to the compensation plan.
