Ari Behn, One of Kevin Spacey's Accusers, Has Died by Suicide

Ari Behn, an author and the ex-husband of Norway’s Princess Martha, has died at the age of 47.

The late author committed suicide, his manager confirmed in a statement.

β€œIt is with great sadness in our hearts that I on behalf of the very closest relatives of Ari Behn must announce that he took his own life today,” his manager, Geir Hakonsund, said (via the Daily Beast).

In 2017, Ari accused disgraced actor Kevin Spacey of groping him under the table at a Nobel Peace Prize concert in 2007. The actor never responded publicly to the accusation.

The Royal House of Norway acknowledged Ari‘s death in a statement, saying, β€œAri was an important part of our family for many years, and we carry warm and good memories of him with us.”

Kevin returned to the public eye this week with a social media post, exactly one year after he last spoke out publicly.
