"Richard Dreyfuss and Kevin Spacey are both Oscar winners who were once popular movie stars and hailed as two of the most talented actors in Hollywood. But over the years they have proven themselves to be problematic men whose life choices have arguably hurt their careers and left them struggling financially. Now comes a strange, sad story about how the actors' 2009 professional collaboration figured into Spacey's MeToo-era downfall and led to Dreyfuss becoming estranged from his three adult children."
"Everyone assumes my siblings and I are wealthy from our dad and we're all a bit too uncomfortable to make it clear, but we have no money from my dad, Ben Dreyfuss wrote on X, USA Today reported last week. My dad has no money. If he did, we wouldn't get it since we've been estranged ever since some complicated family drama to do with MeToo."
"Ben Dreyfuss, a former editor for Mother Jones magazine, explained that the MeToo family drama had to do with Harry Dreyfuss coming forward in November 2017 to allege that Spacey groped him when he was 18. Harry Dreyfuss wrote about the alleged incident in an essay for BuzzFeed News, a few days after Spacey was hit with the first of multiple sexual misconduct allegations, which started with actor Anthony Rapp accusing the American Beauty star of making a sexual advance at him when he was 14."
Richard Dreyfuss and Kevin Spacey are two Oscar-winning actors whose careers and reputations declined amid problematic behavior and public scandals. Ben Dreyfuss, Richard's son, revealed on social media and Substack that his 78-year-old father is financially broke and estranged from Ben and his siblings Emily and Harry. The family estrangement traces to Harry Dreyfuss publicly alleging in November 2017 that Kevin Spacey groped him at age 18, an allegation published shortly after other accusations against Spacey emerged. The 2009 professional collaboration between Dreyfuss and Spacey factored into the later MeToo-era fallout and family rupture.
