Kevin Spacey Settles ‘House of Cards’ Harassment Arbitration for $1 Million

Kevin Spacey agreed to pay $1 million to the 'House of Cards' production company after settling an arbitration case tied to sexual misconduct claims.

Kevin Spacey will pay $1 million to the production company behind Home of Cards to settle an arbitration case stemming from sexual misconduct claims against the actor, Variety reports. It’s a significantly smaller sum than the$31 million the actor was originally ordered to pay in 2021 for breaching his contract after an arbitrator found claims that he’d sexually harassed young crew members on the show credible. These policies typically cover actors in case severe illnesses make them unable to work; MRC has argued that Spacey’s decision to check himself into an Arizona facility for sex addiction treatment after the allegations against him emerged falls under that umbrella.
