A Dutch business forum has cancelled a headline appearance by actor Kevin Spacey over allegations of sexual abuse.
BusinessBoost Live said in a statement on Friday that “it is not desirable” to let Spacey speak at its conference November 29 in Rotterdam. The networking forum, aimed at CEOs and entrepreneurs, said it terminated cooperation with the actor in consultation with Spacey’s management.
Spacey has made appearances at other business conferences including the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Spacey has faced multiple allegations of sexual harassment or abuse in recent days, after accusations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein prompted others to speak publicly about behaviour by powerful men in Hollywood and other industries.
Representatives for Spacey have said he’s “taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment”.
