Kevin Spacey Agrees to $1 Million Settlement with 'House of Cards' Producer MRC
The deal significantly reduces a previous $31 million judgment and involves Spacey's cooperation in MRC's legal battle against insurers.
- Kevin Spacey has agreed to pay $1 million to MRC, significantly reducing a $31 million judgment against him for sexual misconduct on the 'House of Cards' set.
- The settlement allows Spacey to aid MRC in a legal battle against its insurers, who denied claims related to Spacey's exit from the show.
- MRC argues that Spacey's sex addiction treatment qualifies as a sickness covered by its insurance policies, a point contested by insurers.
- Spacey's cooperation includes testifying, releasing medical records, and being examined by doctors, aiming to recoup costs from insurers.
- The legal developments mark a significant turn in the ongoing dispute over financial losses and insurance claims following Spacey's departure from 'House of Cards'.
