Kevin Spacey's publicist, Staci Wolf, announced on Thursday she is parting ways with the actor, and so is his talent agency, CAA, after several more people alleged sexual misconduct by him.
On Sunday, actor Anthony Rapp alleged that when he was 14 and Spacey was 26, Spacey made a sexual advance toward him. Later in the week, an unidentified man told New York magazine that when he was 14 and Spacey was 24, they had a sexual relationship, and the last time he saw Spacey, the actor attempted to rape him. Spacey apologized to Rapp, and denies the second man's allegations.
