AceShowbiz - Kevin Spacey is facing another accusation of unwanted sexual advance. After actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of molesting him when he was 14, director and actor Tony Montana has come forward with allegation that the Oscar-winning actor groped him.
Speaking to Radar Online, Montana said the incident happened in 2003. The filmmaker was editing a documentary at Los Angeles hotspot Coronet when the "House of Cards" star walked in with a group of friends.
"I went up to order a drink and Kevin came up to me and put his arm around me," Montana told the news outlet. "He was telling me to come with him, to leave the bar," he continued, before alleging Spacey "put his hand on my crotch forcefully and grabbed my whole package."
Montana claimed a seemingly intoxicated Spacey then said to him, "This designates ownership." Montana said, "I put my hand down and turned his thumb back to get his hand off it." The filmmaker then "paid for my drink and got away from him."
But the alleged incident didn't end there. Montana said Spacey then followed him to the restroom. "I backed him out the door and I pushed him," the "Overnight" filmmaker recalled. "One of his friends was in line and I said, 'It's time to take your boy home.' They all ended up leaving."
Montana was in his thirties at the time of the alleged incident. Although he never saw Spacey again, he could not forget that harrowing incident. "I never talked to anyone about it except for therapists," he said. "I had PTSD for six months after. It was an emasculating thing for someone to do to me. Whenever I went to the bar I would see if he was there or have my back against the wall."
Montana told the site that after reading Rapp's story, he chose to come forward with the story of his own. "This wasn't something people were talking about openly," he said. "It still feels awkward. I still feel what I felt then. I put it into the back of my mind until I saw him come forward."
"When you're trying to accomplish something in the industry, you have things that inspire you, that can help move you forward," he continued. "You have set backs and haunted experiences," he concluded. "No matter what happens you have to keep going."
