Kevin Spacey Ordered To Pay $31 Million In Damages for Being Fired from House of Cards
Who would have thought you had to pay back money after getting fired, ludicrous.
Kevin Spacey isn’t like us normal folk, and he has been ordered to pay $31 million in damages for getting fired from House Of Cards.
The 62-year-old actor played Frank Underwood in House of Cards and was written out of final seasons before getting fired for sexual misconduct claims.

Those over the case have filed in favor of MRC, the production company behind the Netflix show, finding that Spacey violated the terms of his contract with the sexual harassment claims and he will have to fork up a hefty $31 million for it!
“The Arbitrator found that Spacey’s conduct constituted a material breach of his acting and executive producing agreements with MRC, and that his breaches excused MRC’s obligations to pay him any further compensation in connection with the Show,” the ruling says per Deadline.
“The Arbitrator further found that Spacey’s egregious breaches of contract proximately caused and rendered him (and his affiliated entities) liable for the tens of millions of dollars in losses MRC suffered when it had no choice, upon the revelations of Spacey’s pattern of harassment, to halt the production of Season 6 of the Show, to rewrite the entire season to omit Spacey’s character, and to shorten season 6 from 13 episodes to 8 to meet delivery deadlines.”
Kevin Spacey’s career was pretty much over following the accusations.
