Dustin Hoffman issues an apology after being accused of sexual harassment

<p>More and more celebrities are coming out and accusing Kevin Spacey of sexual misconduct. After Anthony Rapp, Mexican actor Roberto Cavazos and actor-director Tony Montana have spoken about their experiences with Spacey.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking to a website, Montana stated that he was groped by Spacey in 2003 in Los Angeles where the filmmaker was editing a documentary at a local bar when Spacey walked in with a group of friends.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
&quot;I went up to order a drink and Kevin came up to me and put his arm around me. He was telling me to come with him, to leave the bar. (He) put his hand on my crotch forcefully and grabbed my whole package,&quot; Montana.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, actor Roberto Cavazos took to Facebook and recalled his moment of horror with the actor.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
I myself had a couple of unpleasant encounters with Spacey that were on the edge of being called harassment. Moreover, had I been a woman, I probably would not have hesitated to identify him as such, but I suppose that the lack of a more specifically direct or aggressive action led me to justify the incident as &#39;one of those things&#39;, &quot;Cavazos wrote.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The revelations have come following actor Anthony Rapp&#39;s claims that Spacey traumatised him by sexually harassing him when he was 14 years old. After this accusation, Spacey came out as gay earlier this week.<br />

International Academy rescinds Spacey's upcoming Emmy honour

<p>Netflix&#39;s landmark political drama &quot;House of Cards&quot; will end its run after an upcoming sixth season, the streaming service said on Monday, one day after series star Kevin Spacey became embroiled in the latest sexual misconduct scandal to rattle Hollywood.</p>

<p>Netflix Inc and the show&#39;s production company also issued a joint statement saying they were &quot;deeply troubled&quot; by actor Anthony Rapp&#39;s allegation in a published interview that Spacey in 1986 had made a sexual advance toward Rapp, who was just 14 at the time.</p>

<p>Netflix did not give an explicit reason for deciding to air one more season of &quot;House of Cards&quot; before pulling the plug on the Emmy-winning, critically acclaimed show, its first original hit series.</p>

<p>But Netflix spokeswoman Karen Barragan said the decision was made months ago, long before the allegation surfaced against Spacey, 58, a two-time Oscar-winning film star, Tony-winning stage performer and former creative director of London&#39;s famed Old Vic theatre.</p>

<p>Spacey said in a Twitter post on Sunday that he was &quot;beyond horrified&quot; to learn of Rapp&#39;s account of Spacey&#39;s alleged seduction attempt, which Spacey said he did not recall. Spacey further wrote that he owed Rapp a &quot;sincere apology&quot; for what he said would have been &quot;deeply inappropriate drunken behaviour.&quot;</p>

<p>A representative for Spacey did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.</p>

<p>In an interview with BuzzFeed, Rapp, now 46, recounted attending a party hosted by Spacey in which the older actor picked him up, brought him to a bed and lay down on top of him after other guests had left.</p>

<p>According to Rapp, the young actor had the impression Spacey was drunk, pushed him away and left.</p>

<p>Spacey, who has won Oscars for the films &quot;The Usual Suspects&quot; and &quot;American Beauty,&quot; also said that Rapp&#39;s story &quot;had encouraged me to address other things in my life.&quot;</p>

<p>&quot;I want to deal with this honestly and openly,&quot; he said, &quot;and that starts with me examining my own behaviour.&quot;</p>

<p>The actor for years had declined to publicly discuss his sexuality.</p>

<p>Rapp, who went on to star in the hit Broadway musical &quot;Rent,&quot; was starting his career on Broadway at the time of the alleged incident, appearing in a production of &quot;Precious Sons&quot; with Ed Harris and Judith Ivey.
