Kevin Spacey is already facing dozens of allegations of a sexual nature and on top of that, the disgraced Hollywood star is now being accused of racism.

The head of the security company that used to work on the set of “House of Cards” is accusing Spacey of both ignoring black security members as well as using racial slurs on the set and is even suggesting the actor might have been the reason their contract wasn’t renewed by the show.

Earl Blue, the head of VIP Protective Service, came forward with the allegations in an article published by The Daily Mail on Monday. (SLIDESHOW: 34 Of Kate Mara’s Sexiest Moments)

Blue’s team of security guards is made up mostly of black people and several of them, who spoke to The Daily Mail about the actor, claim that Spacey refused to acknowledge them, shake their hands and once overheard the him say “I don’t want n***ers watching my trailer.”

As the head of the company Blue eventually voiced his concerns about Spacey to set managers who allegedly responded, “that’s just the way he is; we’ve got to keep him happy.”

Blue claims that producers of the hit Netflix show told him that they were pleased with his team’s services on set, but did not renew their $1.1 million contract citing “the powers that be” as the reason. Later on he claims a production manager revealed that Spacey said he “did not want n***ers on his set anymore.”

While several members of VIP Protective Service corroborated Blue’s account, others didn’t recall Spacey acting that way. Ian Paterson, who was a producer on the show, told The Daily Mail that the security company’s services were “unsatisfactory” but refused to comment on Spacey’s behavior.

Blue decided to break his silence about Spacey after four years claiming that his business and the 40 security guards under his employ have lost millions of dollars in revenue after their contract was not renewed by “House of Cards.” He now plans to sue Spacey over his company’s termination.

“I was a tremendous fan of the man but now I am disgusted by him,” Blue told The Daily Mail. “I lost faith that I am in the right job after the contract was terminated. I questioned myself for months. What could I have done differently?”

“Then I came to the realization that I did everything I was supposed to do, I was just dealing with a racist man,” he continued. “I sat on it for four years because I believe in confidentiality but when it comes to the point where people are being harmed, enough is enough.”
