Kevin Spacey needs help.

A publicist for the House of Cards actor released a statement to The New York Timesconfirming this, following a string of accusations of sexual harassment.

"Kevin Spacey is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment. No other information is available at this time," the spokesperson said.

Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp said Spacey once tried to "seduce" him, going on record in an interview published Sunday Buzzfeed News. Rapp was 14 and Spacey was 26 at the time of the incident in 1986.

Since then, other accusers have come forward. One, Mexican actor Roverto Cavazos, clamed Spacey "routinely preyed" on young male actors while he was the artistic director of the Old Vic theater in London, a post he held from 2004 to 2015.

"There are a lot of us who have a 'Kevin Spacey story,'" Cavazos said.

In a statement, the Old Vic officials said they were "deeply dismayed" by the allegations and had set up an email address to field other claims of harassment.
