Who was the actor that was fired from roles over a decade after rape allegations the woman admitted right after making them was false?

I remember reading an article listing actors that had been fired for weird reasons. Most of it was the typical “drama queen insulted producer on twitter” or “requested larger pay”.


But there was one actor who had been accused of rape by a foid who had then admitted the next day that she’d faked the allegation. Then like 10 years later I think he got fired from some movie he’d been cast in because some Redditor discovered the old allegations and bombarded the production company with them.

Maybe Kevin Spacey?

Though his might’ve only been fag allegations.

Hmmm, not sure.

No it was a younger guy accused by a woman not a sodomite.

The actor you are referring to is Timothy Hutton. He faced allegations of rape from a woman named Sera Johnston, who claimed that he assaulted her in 1983 when she was 14 years old. These allegations surfaced in 2020, leading to Hutton being dropped from the reboot of the series Leverage: Redemption.
In a significant turn of events, Johnston later admitted that her allegations were false. Hutton has consistently denied the accusations, asserting that they were fabricated to extort him. The legal battle surrounding his dismissal involved claims and counterclaims regarding contract obligations and the handling of the allegations. Ultimately, Canadian prosecutors did not charge Hutton due to a lack of evidence.
This situation highlights the complexities and serious implications surrounding allegations of sexual misconduct, especially when they are later recanted.
