You’d think that Kevin Spacey couldn’t sink lower. Think again! The disgraced Oscar winner, who in recent years has appeared only in bizarre Christmas videos and an arbitration ruling that he must pay $31 million for imploding the final season of House of Cards, is now using the legal system to harass a Variety reporter—and even hold him in contempt of court. What a guy.     

Adam Vary is the reporter. He previously worked for Buzzfeed, where he authored the 2017 article in which actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of preying on him as a young man. The story sparked a wave of accusers to come forward and marked a key moment in the burgeoning #MeToo movement. Spacey’s career soon disappeared like Keyser Soze.
