Kevin Spacey lost his attempt to overturn the 31 million arbitration award he was ordered to pay for breaching his House of Cards contract with the harassment of young crew members.
At a hearing in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday, a judge listened to arguments from Spacey’s lawyer and then ruled that the embattled actor failed to show that the award was too “utterly irrational” to stand. Without meeting that bar, the judge said he wouldn’t step in to review and possibly reverse the independent arbitrator’s findings of fact in the case.
