Up until now, Robin Wright has not discussed the departure of her former co-star Kevin Spacey from 'House of Cards' in any great detail - but with the new (and final) season on the horizon, it's inevitable that she'll be quizzed on it.
The actress had previously said that she only Spacey in a professional sense, but in a new interview with Net-a-Porter, went into more detail when asked about the allegations against Spacey and whether he deserves forgiveness.
"I don’t know how to comment on that, I really don’t," she said. "I believe every human being has the ability to reform. Has the ability to reform. In that sense, second chances, or whatever you are going to call it – absolutely, I believe in that. It’s called growth.”
She added that she had not yet been in touch with Spacey, and that “he’ll reach out when he’s ready, I’m sure. I think that’s the way it should go."
She also said that she felt 'sorry' for Spacey, who is facing a number of sexual assault cases in the UK and US.
“I feel sorry for anybody whose life is in the public arena,” she said. “It’s a nightmare, can you imagine? We do a job, we share [a performance] with viewers. Why does our private life have to be public? I hate that part of this industry. It’s so invasive. I believe everyone’s personal life should be personal. Positive, negative, neutral, whatever – I don’t believe it should be anybody’s business. But I’m not talking about this [#MeToo] movement. I’m talking about media. The exposure. It’s an awful feeling. A stranger deciding they know who you are and they are going to put that in a…I mean, it’s criminal, it really is.”
