Rapp gained courage to come forward with the wave of recent accusations of sexual harassment made toward Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Spacey would have been 26 at the time of the incident and with the apology also admitted he is now living an openly gay lifestyle.

Rapp was interviewed by BuzzFeed News regarding the incident of alledged sexual advancment saying "He picked me up like a groom picks up the bride over the threshold. But I don't, like, squirm away initially, because I'm like, 'What's going on?' And then he lays down on top of me. He was trying to seduce me… I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually." He goes on to say he got out of the situation by going to the bathroom before he left.
