Kevin Spacey ordered to pay $31million to ‘House Of Cards’ producers
Kevin Spacey has lost his bid to overturn a $31million (£25.5million) arbitration award he was ordered to pay to the producers of House Of Cards.The actor, who was fired from the Netflix series in 2017, was ordered in November to pay the sum to production company MRC following allegations of sexual misconduct involving young crew members working on the show.Spacey filed to have the order overturned, but his request was denied by a judge in Los Angeles on Thursday (August 4).As reported by PA, Judge Mel Red Racana found that Spacey and his attorneys “fail to demonstrate that this is even a close case” and “do not demonstrate that the damages award was so utterly irrational that it amounts to an arbitrary remaking of the parties’ contracts”.The actor was dropped from the Netflix series following allegations of sexually preying on young men.
