Kevin Spacey Charged With Sexual Assault, Channels Frank Underwood?

Kevin Spacey is now choosing to live life as Frank Underwood to deal with sexual assault charges. Please respect his privacy.

On Monday, news of Kevin Spacey being charged with indecent assault and battery from an incident stemming from a 2016 encounter with a teen at a Nantucket bar began making headlines.

Last year, Boston TV news anchor Heather Unruh shared her son’s story about how Kevin Spacey bought her then 18-year-old son “drink after drink after drink” before sticking his hand down his pants and grabbing his dick. A stranger then came up to him and told him to run. Which he did.

“My son was a starstruck, straight 18-year-old young man who had no idea that the famous actor was an alleged sexual predator or that he was about to become his next victim,” she said at the time. “When my son was drunk, Spacey made his move and sexually assaulted him.”

At around the same time news was breaking that Spacey was to be arraigned on January 7 for those sexual assault charges, Spacey released a video on his official Twitter where he pretended to be Frank Underwood from House of Cards. And it was a little weird because I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a promo for the show or if he’s having a mental breakdown and addressing his sexual assault charges in the third person. Is he playing a long game to set up a defense that it wasn’t him who assaulted that kid, but Frank Underwood? Is he actually a perverted genius? Honestly, seems like a risky play. Let’s see how it works out.
