Kevin Spacey rested their case on Wednesday, while attempting to paint Anthony Rapp as a narcissist who is bringing a $40 million sexual misconduct lawsuit against the Oscar-winning actor in order to draw attention to himself.
Rapp only wanted to attend a “highly publicized hearing with media attention,” Spacey’s attorney Chase Scolnick asserted at one point.
To push that line of attack, Scolnick grilled forensic psychiatrist Alexander Bardey about Rapp’s emotional state. He claimed the actor was attention-seeking and showed no signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, citing the fact that Rapp told friends about the encounter with Spacey over the years, but never revealed the incident to his therapist. “That behavior, telling friends … speaks to his narcissistic tendencies,” Bardey said. “[He was] wanting to put the spotlight on himself.” Rapp is suing Spacey, alleging that he was sexually propositioned by the actor when he was 14 years old.
He claims that he was attending a party at Spacey’s apartment and that the actor approached him after the other guests had left, picked him up and threw him on his bed.
