Actor is asked to pay $31 million
As per CNBC, Kevin was asked to make the payment last year to MRC, the studio which was involved in producing House of Cards. Later this year, MRC filed a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court asking for confirmation regarding the payment.
The studio’s lawyer, Michael Kump, founding partner of the Santa Monica-based firm Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump Holley said: “MRC stood its ground, pursued this case doggedly, and obtained the right result in the end.”
The studio had ended its contract with Kevin after the allegations came to light. It then removed his character from the show to rewrite the final season.
Speaking about why Kevin was sued, the studio said in a statement: “The safety of our employees, sets, and work environments is of paramount importance to MRC and why we set out to push for accountability.”

Following the allegations, Kevin released a statement on his social media. He wrote: “I have a lot of respect and admiration for Anthony Rapp as an actor. I’m beyond horrified to hear this story. I honestly do not remember the encounter, it would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feeling he describes having carried with him all these years.”
He continued: “This story has encouraged me to address other things about my life. I know that there are stories out there about me and some have been fueled by the fact that I have been so protective of my privacy. As those closest to me know, in my life I have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man. I want to deal with this honestly and openly and that starts with examining my own behavior.”
As of now, Kevin has not made any other statement.
