PhotoKevin Spacey, a two-time Oscar winner, apologized Sunday night for what he said “would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior” after the actor Anthony Rapp accused him of making a sexual advance on him 31 years ago, when Mr. Rapp was 14 years old. After all the other guests had left, Mr. Rapp said that Mr. Spacey, who appeared intoxicated, “picked me up like a groom picks up the bride over the threshold. But a few hours after the article was published, he posted a statement to Twitter, saying he was “horrified” but did not remember the encounter. Mr. Rapp said he met Mr. Spacey in 1986 when both were performing in Broadway shows. Mr. Rapp was a child actor in a new play called “Precious Sons,” while Mr. Spacey, then 26, was performing in a revival of “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.” Mr. Rapp told BuzzFeed that he met Mr. Spacey at a Broadway party that year, and that Mr. Spacey invited him to the party where the sexual advance occurred.
