Kevin Spacey Trial: Celebs Rumors

Kevin Spacey in his sexual misconduct trial tested positive for COVID-19. Jennifer Keller, who has handled much of the defense team’s cross-examinations, will not be allowed to return to court until she gets a negative result from two diagnostic tests that she takes two days apart. When she comes back, she must wear a mask, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan said. Keller was symptomatic on Thursday morning. “We will resume this morning and go as far as we can go,” Kaplan said. Spacey is accused of making unwanted sexual advances in 1986 against Anthony Rapp when Rapp was 14-years old. Rapp, who is an actor on “Star Trek: Discovery” and appeared in the original Broadway production of “Rent,” is suing Spacey for $40 million in damages. Keller has attempted to find inconsistencies in Rapp’s testimony, focusing on details that he may have gotten wrong, such as the layout of Spacey’s studio apartment. She has pushed the idea that Rapp lied about Spacey’s alleged misconduct out of professional jealousy.

“History is littered with those who are benevolent to some and cruel to others,” the prosecutor in the Kevin Spacey trial concluded with today.

K.J. Yossman The prosecution in Kevin Spacey’s trial for sexual assault told the jury it was normal to be “starstruck or overwhelmed” as the trial began, but warned “you must keep yourself grounded and true to the oath.” Spacey is on trial for 12 counts of sexual assault at Southwark Crown Court in London, U.K. The prosecution alleges the assaults took place against four men in the U.K. between 2001 and 2013, when Spacey was living and working in London. Barrister Christine Agney KC gave the prosecution’s opening statement on Friday morning, in which she set out who Spacey was, calling him an “extremely famous actor who has won a number of awards” and setting out the charges against him.
