Real estate investor Sam Asgari has claimed that actor Kevin Spacey is “refusing to leave” the Baltimore mansion he recently sold to Asgari.
Spacey, the former star of the Netflix series House of Cards, sold the waterfront property for $3.24 million to Asgari, who had purchased it anonymously.
According to Asgari, Spacey, 65, was forced to sell the property to cover the “millions of dollars” in legal fees he owes in the wake of his 2023 sexual assault trial. However, Asgari now alleges that Spacey has asked to remain in the home rent-free for the next six months, a claim that Spacey’s lawyer has decreed to be “false.”
Spacey’s property was initially put up for sale after he fell behind on mortgage payments, a situation that arose when he was dropped from Netflix for breach of contract after allegations of sexual misconduct came to light in 2017. In 2021, Spacey was ordered to pay almost $31 million to the studio that made House of Cards, as the allegations led to the collapse of the show. The parties reached an agreement in which Spacey would pay them $1 million across multiple years.
In 2022, a court dismissed a sexual assault lawsuit against Spacey and last year, Spacey was found not guilty of all charges of sexual assault against four men between 2001 and 2013. Earlier this year, the actor spoke to Piers Morgan about his “bad behavior,” and admitted he had been “too handsy, touching someone sexually in a way that I didn’t know at the time they didn’t want. I personally I have caressed people, I have been gentle with people, that is the way that I am.”
The dispute over the Baltimore mansion is the latest development in Spacey‘s ongoing legal and personal challenges since the allegations against him first surfaced in 2017.
