Kevin Spacey Denies Sex Addiction in House of Cards Insurance Trial Testimony

The case tests whether MRC’s claimed losses qualify as an insurable medical incapacity rather than reputational fallout.

Overview

  • On the stand in Santa Monica, Spacey acknowledged a 2017 Meadows discharge summary listing “sexual compulsive behavior” but said he personally disputes the diagnosis.
  • Spacey challenged multiple notations in his treatment records as inaccurate, insisted he was ready to film Season 6, and alleged producers pushed him out to support a massive insurance claim.
  • MRC’s psychiatric expert Michael Genovese testified that Spacey contemplated suicide and was unable to work in 2017 due to the condition.
  • Fireman’s Fund argues its policy covers only medically verified incapacitation and contends the production shutdown stemmed from media fallout over misconduct allegations.
  • A prior arbitration ordered Spacey to pay MRC $31 million, later reduced to $1 million in a settlement that granted access to his medical records and testimony, as MRC pursues roughly $100 million at trial.
