Spacey has not commented at this time.

As BWW previously reported, allegations surfaced last winter that actor Kevin Spacey made sexual advances at RENT star Anthony Rapp when Rapp was just 14 years old. Both actors were working on Broadway at the time. Though Spacey has since apologized for the incident and came out as gay, his remarks have been strongly criticized by GLAAD and other groups. Then, more theatre actors came forward about unwelcome advances that Spacey made towards them.
