Kevin Spacey talks about his masturb@t!on scenes

Kevin Spacey has finished testifying in the s**ual misconduct lawsuit brought against him by actor Anthony Rapp.

During his cross-examination, Spacey was questioned about drug use and his memories of Rapp in 1986 when they were both appearing in stage productions.

Rapp was 14 and starring in “Precious Sons”; Spacey was on Broadway in the Jack Lemmon-led revival of “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.”

Spacey denied Rapp’s claims that he tried to seduce the then-teenager.

The cross-examination also touched upon a key sequence in “American Beauty” in which Spacey’s character Lester Burnham masturbates to an image of his daughter’s best friend bedecked with rose petals while lying in an oversized tub.

“It was a fantasy scene,” Spacey clarified.

After Steigman emphasized that Burnham masturbates in two different sequences, Spacey replied that “he was a little frustrated, so…”

The judge quickly cut off that line of questioning.

Spacey also clarified that he had used cocaine as well as marijuana in the 1980s.

He misspoke when he described having drinks with Rapp, the actor John Barrowman, and Lemmon backstage at “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.”

Barrowman is a key witness who spent a critical evening in 1986 at the Limelight nightclub with both Spacey and Rapp.

During the cross-examination, Steigman grew frustrated at points, particularly after Judge Kaplan denied his request to introduce testimony from another Spacey accuser to jurors, who was 16 years old at the time of the alleged incident in 1988.

He grilled Kaplan about why he wouldn’t allow Rapp’s team to mention other legal issues that Spacey is facing surrounding s**ual misconduct in the United Kingdom, as well the $31 million in damages that the actor has been ordered to pay “House of Cards” producer MRC for allegedly engaging in s**ually predatory behavior during that show’s production.

“This is argumentative,” Judge Kaplan told Steigman at one point.

“Let’s move on.”

The lawsuit alleges that Spacey made unwelcome s**ual advances towards Rapp when he was just 14-years-old.

Spacey has denied the allegations.

The actor was fired from Netflix’s “House of Cards” following allegations of s**ual misconduct by several people.

Spacey’s testimony follows a recent s**ual assault charge against him in Massachusetts.

The actor pleaded not guilty to indecent assault and battery charges in January 2019, which stem from an alleged incident in 2016 where he was accused of groping an 18-year-old busboy at a bar.

In December 2018, the actor released a bizarre video in which he appeared to defend himself against the accusations, while also delivering a monologue as his “House of Cards” character Frank Underwood.

The video was widely criticized and ridiculed.

Since the allegations against Spacey first emerged, many of his former colleagues have spoken out against him, including his “American Beauty” co-star Annette Bening who said she was “proud” of the people who had come forward.
