In the latest chapter of Kevin Spacey’s rollercoaster life, the actor reveals that a rehab center tried to label him as a sex addict—something he firmly disputes. During his testimony in a Santa Monica trial about the failed “House of Cards” season, Spacey shared the oddities of his time at The Meadows, a facility he entered following sexual harassment allegations. Initially told he didn’t qualify as a sex addict, the diagnosis switched gears rather quickly, and they labeled him sexually compulsive.
Things get even stranger. Spacey claims the founder of The Meadows had other plans: they wanted him as a celebrity spokesperson for sex addiction. Spacey noted, “It was very much obvious they wanted me to be a sex addict,” raising questions about the motives behind such an approach. It sounds like a script straight out of a drama, doesn’t it? Who knew rehab could be such a tangled mess of celebrity claims and mental health narratives?
