I hope Spacey is a distant memory, says Lord Dobbs

MICHAEL DOBBS says he hopes to draw a line under his links to disgraced actor Kevin Spacey, who starred in the US television version of his book House of Cards.

“I didn’t like Kevin Spacey and he didn’t like me so it was entirely mutual. I deeply regret the way it all finished with him because House of Cards is something very special to me,” Lord Dobbs, right, told The Londoner at a London Grill Club lunch.

This week, Spacey, far right, was ordered by a mediator to pay just over £23 million to MRC, the studio that made

Netflix’s House of Cards, for breaching his contract following sexual harassment allegations. Lord Dobbs hopes this is the last he hears about Spacey. “I like to fill my life with happy thoughts rather than go around and be bloody miserable but… there are still legal challenges hanging over the whole thing so I would say look life is what it is and drama is what it is.” The Conservative peer said he hoped Spacey’s involvement will “become just a distant faded memory in the past” and added: “We haven’t heard the last of House of Cards.”
