Royal accuses Kevin Spacey of sexual harassment
A royal has claimed he was groped by Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey.
Norway’s Ari Behn, 45, has revealed he fell victim to the alleged Hollywood sexual harrasser at a VIP banquet in Oslo 10 years ago, believed to be around 2007.
Spacey, 58, was hosting a Nobel Peace Prize bash alongside Uma Thurman.
Ari, husband of Princess Martha Louise, said: “We had a nice conversation, he was sat next to me.
“After five minutes, he says ‘Hey, let’s go out and have a cigarette’ — and then he touched me right on the balls under the table.”
“I got more than I bargained for.”
Ari Behn with his then wife, Norway's Princess Martha Louise and their children in 2005.
Ari, who divorced Princess Märtha Louise of Norway last year, told a radio interviewer that he exclaimed: “Eh, maybe later.”
His wife, 46, is the daughter of King Harald V and fourth in line to the throne.
More than a dozen men have accused Spacey of sexual assault in the wake of an Buzzfeed investigation in October where actor Anthony Rapp alleged the Oscar winner tried to force himself on him when he was just 14 years old.
Spacey responded to the claim saying he was “beyond horrified” but was widely criticised for using the statement to also officially reveal he is gay.
Spacey has since been axed from his role as President Frank Underwood on House of Cards and was replaced as Jean Paul Getty in the movie All The Money in the World by Christopher Plummer.
