Actor Anthony Rapp accused
Kevin Spacey of sexually assaulting him at a party when he was only 14 years old. Then eight employees from 'House of Cards' came forward with stories about how Kevin sexually harassed them while on set.
Netflix severed all ties, dumping Kevin from the sixth (and final) season of their flagship show. Sony Pictures even cut him from the movie All The Money In The World, replacing him with Christopher Plummer, and
reshooting all of his scenes - after the movie was already completed! Just like that, the 58-year-old Academy Award-winning actor's career collapsed, like American beauty. I mean, a house of cards.
But did you know Kevin Spacey has a brother? And more shockingly, his brother has a full head of hair, and looks like Rod Stewart? Randy Fowler, 62, published an explosive book about his traumatic childhood just weeks after Kevin's sexual assault allegations. In his first interview since then, he spoke to The Sun about his famous brother, and their monstrous father, Thomas Fowler, whom they nicknamed "The Creature."
"
I heard Kevin checked himself into some sex addiction clinic - well excuse me but you’re in the wrong building. It's far more serious than that, " said Randy. "All my life I thought I had protected Kevin from my father and it turns out it’s all for nothing because he’s worse than my father, The Creature."
In Randy's book, A Moment In Time, he describes how his father abused him, beating him, whipping him, and much, much worse. "
He would push me up against the wall and sodomize me," said Randy. "My mother would be banging on the door saying ‘What’s going on in there?’ And he’d have his hand on my neck telling me to shut up and she’d just walk away." Oh, and just in case you don't hate the man enough already, Randy says his dad was also a Nazi sympathizer. So, just the total package of awful.
After being raped every week "for about a year," Randy finally reached his breaking point. When the Creature started shouting for him once again, he ran to hide in his father's closet and discovered a weapon - a German Luger. "
I figured out how to load it and I crouched on my knees and waited, sweating like a pig and scared shitless," said Randy. Luckily, his father didn't find him. "If he would have opened the door it would have been all over. I would have pulled the trigger."
Did Thomas Fowler inflict this type of abuse on Kevin, too? "I always thought I saved my brother from him," said Randy. "But since all these allegations have come out against him I have started to wonder whether he was abused too...but seeing as though he never speaks to me I’ll probably never know."
In his book, Randy has harsh words for his brother. He describes Kevin as a "pathological liar," claims he is rude is fans, and says he had a "creepy" relationship with their mother, treating her more like "a lover."
Six months before their mother's death, Randy asked Kevin to buy him a plane ticket so he could visit her, but Kevin refused. Finally, when she was on her deathbed, Kevin obliged, but it was too late. "My mother was in a vegetative state so I never got to resolve anything or have the conversation about my abuse," said Randy. "Kevin stole that from me."
"When he finally let me come, I remember I was sat next to her and he literally pushed me out of the way because he didn’t want me next to her," revealed Randy. "He was so clingy and jealous...their relationship was very strange...she used to hang all over him like a cheap suit...there have been rumors floating round the family [but] it’s not just something I speculate on."
After all these years, Randy hopes to reconnect with Kevin, although his brother's abusive behavior brings back memories of his brutal father. "
Kevin was a king on his throne but he has now been dethroned by all these allegations; taking advantage of people using his wealth and power, " says Randy. "All my life I thought I had protected Kevin from my father and it turns out it’s all for nothing because he’s worse than my father, The Creature."
But most importantly, Randy hopes that by sharing his harrowing story, he can help others who’ve suffered from similar experiences. "K
ick harder, scream louder, scratch deeper. Somebody is going to hear you," says Randy. "Come out from living in the shadows and break the chains of silence and shame of abuse."
