Anthony Rapp took the stand in his $40 million civil lawsuit against Kevin Spacey. He said that, after a party at Spacey's loft, the actor had blocked the door and then lifted him up like a groom carrying his bride, before depositing him on the bed.
. Rapp alleges that Spacey made unwanted sexual advances against him when he was 14 and Spacey was 26.
“It was very sudden,” Rapp said. “I was confused. He pulled his full weight onto my chest. My arms were pinned.” Rapp was appearing on Broadway opposite Ed Harris in “Precious Sons,” while Spacey was starring opposite Jack Lemmon in a revival of “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.” The pair had become acquainted through theater circles, with Spacey taking Rapp and another friend to Limelight, a popular nightclub, days before inviting him to his apartment for the party.
Holtzman alleged that he was working in his office when Spacey entered and attempted to force himself on the man. He said that he had recognized Spacey, then an obscure actor, from a photograph in the Playbill. When Spacey entered the room, he was “wearing tight blue jeans” and “had a very clear, large erection.” Holtzman grew alarmed after the actor approached him aggressively.
