He said he managed to “squirm” away from the actor.
The Oscar winner, 58, issued a statement in which he said he did not remember the encounter, but offered “the sincerest apology”.
“He was trying to seduce me,” Rapp told BuzzFeed “I don’t know if I would have used that language. But I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually.”
“My impression when he came in the room was that he was drunk.”
“But I don’t, like, squirm away initially, because I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’ And then he lays down on top of me.”
Rapp explained that he couldn’t remember how long Spacey was on top of him, but after a short amount of time, he was able to “squirm” away.
“And not to simply air a grievance,” he said, “but to try to shine another light on the decades of behavior that have been allowed to continue because many people, including myself, being silent. … I’m feeling really awake to the moment that we’re living in, and I’m hopeful that this can make a difference.”
