The Oscar winner testified on Monday after the judge in the New York trial threw out the claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Then he was asked if he has been private about his personal life over his career.
Spacey said his father’s mind was likely damaged during unemployment resulting from an unsuccessful quest to be a creative writer. “Everything about what was happening in that house was something I had to keep to myself. We never, ever, talked about it. I have never talked about these things publicly ever,” he said.
Spacey’s testimony began two hours after Judge Lewis A. Kaplan threw out a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress after lawyers for Rapp finished their presentation of evidence. Kaplan said elements of the claim duplicate Rapp’s claim that he was a victim of assault and battery.
