Disgraced actor, Kevin Spacey has been accused of racism by the head
of a security company that worked on the set of the Netflix’s “House of
Cards”.
Earl Blue, the head of VIP Protective Service and Navy veteran, told
Daily Mail that Spacey would refuse to acknowledge the black team
members and made racist remarks. He also said Spacey was overheard by
some of his employees telling a member of his personal security team, “I
don’t want n****rs watching my trailer,” referring to the Netflix show,
House of Cards, in which he played the lead role, Frank Underwood.
Blue, 51, cited “confidentiality” as the reason why he waited four
years to come forward, but told the paper it came “to the point where
people are being harmed, enough is enough.” Blue said his company’s
contract was not renewed despite receiving no complaints and being told
by representatives of the company that hired them that they were “really
pleased.” He told the paper that he later learned through a production
manager that Spacey said in a conference call that he “did not want
n*****s on his set anymore.”
However, another source told Daily Mail that there were break-ins
under the security company, VIP’s watch—including in Spacey’s trailer —
so the contract was given to another firm.
Blue denied the account and said he wasn’t given a reason for why his
contract was terminated. Since losing the Netflix gig, Blue said his
company has struggled to find work.
Iain Paterson, who was a producer on the show, told the paper that
the work of VIP Protective Service’s was “unsatisfactory,” but would not
comment further on the accusations made by Blue.
A former employee of the VIP Protective Service told the Mail that he
has “no particular recollection” of Spacey eliciting racist behavior.
Although, he added that Spacey was a “real a**hole” who would get
“temperamental.”
