Gabriel Byrne is speaking out about Kevin Spacey and his behavior on the set of “The Usual Suspects.” While production had to be halted on the set back in 1995 because of Spacey’s alleged sexual misconduct, he had no idea what was really going on.
“I did not know honestly then the extent of [Kevin’s] violence,” Byrne said. “I mean, he was kind of a joke in that people would say, ‘That’s Kevin,’ but nobody really understood the depth of his predations. It was only years later that we began to understand that [filming] was closed down for a particular reason and that was because of inappropriate sexual behavior by Spacey.”
Kevin ended up winning the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in the Bryan Singer-directed classic. More recently, Netflix cut all ties with him in light of his recent sexual misconduct allegations.
