Creator of Netflix's House of Cards has released a statement on allegations by actor Anthony Rapp that Kevin Spacey make sexual advances towards him when he was 14 years old.

In a statement on Twitter, creator Beau Willimon wrote "Anthony Rapp's story is deeply troubling. During the time I worked with Kevin Spacey on "House of Cards" I neither witnessed nor was aware of any inappropriate behaviour on set or off." "That said, I take reports of such behaviour very seriously, and this is no exception. I feel for Mr. Rapp and I support his courage." Willimon made no statement as to the future of the show, or whether Spacey would continue in his role as Frank Underwood. https://twitter.com/BeauWillimon/status/925016121631301633 Spacey released his own statement this morning, claiming that he did not remember the incident in question — while simultaneously blaming it on drunkenness.
