Kevin Spacey faces new sexual misconduct allegation from another man

In 2007, Hollywood actor, Kevin Spacey, took part in the pantomime, Cinderella, performed on the famous London stage.

Danny De Lillo, who dreamed of an acting career at the time and took a job at The Old Vic as a janitor, says years later that Spacey molested him.

He says he was sitting in a small alcove at the back of the theatre when, halfway through the performance, the star squeezed in next to him. At that moment, De Lillo claims, the star “was getting closer and suddenly he was between me and the wall.”

“I still remember the smell. His crotch was rubbing against me. And I just remember that I couldn’t move,” he says in an interview with The Telegraph. “People came into the auditorium and talked to him about how much they loved him. And I said, ‘What’s going on now?'” he recalls.

De Lillo cannot say how long the incident lasted, but he notes that he was traumatised. “This event took away so much of who I was, what I believed in, how I perceived celebrities. I wondered if this was an industry I wanted to be a part of,” adds the 39-year-old.

Today, he is among a group of 10 men who have publicly accused Spacey of inappropriate behaviour and are featured in a two-part documentary series, Spacey Unmasked, which will air on Channel 4.

The actor did not directly comment on De Lillo’s words. On Thursday, he said via X that he had “repeatedly asked Channel 4 for more than seven days to respond to the allegations against him dating back 48 years and to provide it with sufficient details to investigate these matters.”

He also stated that he “will not sit back” and allow himself to be attacked “with a one-sided ‘documentary’ about him in a desperate attempt to gain viewership.”

De Lillo did not report Spacey’s behavior to Old Vic authorities at the time or to the police because he feared no one would believe him. He didn’t quit his job because he had to pay rent for his apartment.

“I just did everything I could to avoid him. I think many people do the same in situations like this. But I didn’t tell anyone,” said a former employee of the theatre where the star was artistic director until 2015.

Patience Ozokwo, the ace Nigerian actress, has addressed rumours claiming she underwent spiritual deliverance.

In an Instagram post on Friday, Ozokwo described the “deliverance story” as “fake news”.

The 65-year-old actress, fondly called Mama G, warned that the people spreading the false narrative would face legal consequences.

“Don’t say I said, saw, or did what never happened. Don’t carry fake news just to get views,” she wrote.

“Have a conscience. Life is too short, live it well. Disclaimer!!! I have nothing to do with any deliverance story going around social media.

“Those responsible will face prosecution. If you don’t see it on my verified platforms or hear it from me, then it is probably a lie.”

CCTV footage shows Diddy punching, kicking Cassie in 2016

A shocking video from 2016 has surfaced online of Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs allegedly kicking, hitting, and dragging Cassie Ventura, his former girlfriend.

The hotel surveillance video, dated March 5, 2016, and obtained by CNN, captured multiple camera angles of the alleged assault.

In the footage, released on Friday, Cassie is seen in a black sweater with the hood up and duffle bag in hand calling an elevator in what the news platform reports is the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.

The music mogul is then captured chasing the singer down the hallway in a towel. Diddy catches up with Cassie, striking and yanking her by the hair while throwing her to the ground.

The rapper also kicks Ventura twice while she stays on the ground, picking up her bag and dragging her back toward the hotel room.

The incident appeared to have corroborated several allegations made in a now-settled federal lawsuit filed by Cassie in November 2023.

In the lawsuit, the singer claimed she was trafficked, raped, and beaten by Combs on many occasions over 10 years.

The lawsuit labelled the musician a “serial domestic abuser, who would regularly beat and kick Ms Ventura, leaving black eyes, bruises, and blood”.

Diddy denied the allegations, calling them “offensive and outrageous”.

The rapper and Cassie’s relationship began in 2007. They made their public debut as a couple in 2012.

The pair, however, broke up after a heated argument in 2018.
