A California jury rejected Media Rights Capital’s $29.5 million insurance claim tied to Kevin Spacey’s ouster from House of Cards, ruling that Spacey’s 2017 diagnosis of sexual compulsive behavior was not the predominant cause of the production losses; the 10-2 verdict favored the insurer, with jurors saying reputational harm and public allegations were other key factors in the decision.

Spacey Confirms Sexual Compulsive Diagnosis Amid House of Cards Insurance Trial

Kevin Spacey testified in a California civil trial over an insurance claim tied to the House of Cards hiatus, confirming a 2017 diagnosis of “sexual compulsive behavior” after voluntary rehab at The Meadows. He read the psychiatric summary aloud, said there was no medical basis to challenge the diagnosis, and defended the treatment aimed at addressing sexual behavior and boundaries, while disputing certain doctors’ notes. The case pits Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company against Spacey’s former show's production company over coverage and losses, with Spacey having previously been involved in arbitration that led to a $31 million payment (reduced in a later settlement) in exchange for medical records and testimony.
