Spiegel is one of the richest millennial billionaires in America, with a fortune around $3.4 billion. He married Kerr, an Australian supermodel and owner of cosmetics line Kora Organics, back in May. The 34-year-old is wealthy in her own right, with an estimated net worth of $45 million.

Like any good power couple, Spiegel and Kerr purportedly share interests in each others' endeavors. He's graced the cover of Vogue Italy, and she's active on Snapchat and has come to the defense of the company— and her husband — in interviews.

Here's how the newlyweds spend their billions.

NOW WATCH: Hackers can gain access to your computer monitor — a cybersecurity expert shows us how easy it is

• A third woman, Rachel Eck, has accused actor Ed Westwick of sexual assault.
• Eck alleged that Westwick groped her in a Los Angeles hotel room in 2014.
• Last week, two women accused Westwick of rape. 
• The LAPD is investigating the first accusation, it confirmed to Business Insider. 

Three women have now accused Ed Westwick, who played Chuck Bass on The CW's "Gossip Girl," of sexual assault.

Westwick is currently the star of BBC's "White Gold." He also had a role in BBC's miniseries "Ordeal by Innocence," but BBC pulled the release from its Christmas schedule amid the accusations against him. 

Last week, two women came forward and accused Westwick of rape. First was actress Kristina Cohen, who told her story in a Facebook post. Westwick denied the incident occurred, writing in a statement that he didn't know Cohen. Cohen has since filed a police report at the LAPD's Hollywood precinct, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Two days later, actress Aurélie Wynn accused Westwick of rape. Wynn wrote in a Facebook post that Westwick sexually assaulted her in July 2014. Westwick also denied Wynn's accusation, saying he had "absolutely not" committed any of these acts. 

And now a third woman, Rachel Eck, has told BuzzFeed News that Westwick assaulted her in a hotel room in Los Angeles in February 2014, the same year Cohen and Wynn alleged he raped them. 

Eck, then an executive assistant, and her ex-boyfriend, producer Kaine Harling, had plans to hang out in a room at the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood, she said. (Harling is also an ex-boyfriend of Cohen, and was present the night Westwick allegedly raped her, Cohen told The Hollywood Reporter.)

Eck told BuzzFeed News that Harling brought Westwick with him to the hotel room. Throughout the night, Eck said that when they were alone, Westwick tried to kiss her, and pushed her against the wall multiple times. Eck also said that she pushed him off every time he made advances. Westwick, however, got more "handsy" as the night went on, she said.

When Eck told Harling about Westwick's behavior, he shrugged it off, she said. Eck then told Harling she was going to leave, and Harling told her Westwick wanted to apologize, according to Eck. 

“Ed then pulled me onto the bed and aggressively groped me,” Eck said. “I shoved him off as quickly as I could and left. I have never felt so uncomfortable in a situation like that in my entire life.”

Representatives for Ed Westwick were not immediately available for comment.

• Rose McGowan turned herself in on a felony drug charge, and was released on a $5,000 bond. 
• McGowan and her lawyer believe the drugs found may have been planted.

Rose McGowan turned herself in on Tuesday in Virginia on a felony drug charge, according to numerous reports.

She was released on a $5,000 bond after being arrested and booked on a charge of possession of a controlled substance.

Police started the investigation after they found traces of narcotics in McGowan'spersonal belongings she left behind on a January 20 United flight arriving at Washington Dulles International Airport. McGowan is set to be arraigned on Thursday morning.

McGowan, who has become one of the leading voices in speaking out about sexual harassment and assault in Hollywood after accusing Harvey Weinstein of rape, tweeted this on Tuesday:

Following her release, McGowan told the New Yorker's Ronan Farrow that the drugs found in her belongings may have been planted.

“Depending on when and where the wallet was lost, individuals other than Ms. McGowan had access to the wallet for somewhere between approximately 5 hours 40 minutes and more than 11 hours,” McGowan's lawyer Jim Hundley wrote to the Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney, also asking that the charges be dismissed.

After the warrant was issued in October, McGowan tweeted this:

“I will clearly plead not guilty,” she told the New Yorker.

NOW WATCH: Here's why people are afraid of clowns — and what you can do to get over it

• Terry Crews discussed his alleged sexual assault by William Morris Endeavor agent Adam Venit on "Good Morning America."
• Crews wrote a series of tweets detailing the alleged assault after the Weinstein allegations broke last month.
• Crews said that he had "PTSD" when the allegations against Weinstein came out.

On "Good Morning America" Wednesday, actor Terry Crews went into detail about his allegation of being sexual assaulted by William Morris Endeavor agent Adam Venit.

In his interview with Michael Strahan, Crews said the assault took place at a private party in February 2016, where he met Venit for the first time. According to Crews, Venit was staring at Crews during the party and "sticking his tongue out" at him in an "overtly sexual" manner. At first, the actor said he thought it was just a joke, because Venit's behavior was so "bizarre."

Crews then said he put out his hand to shake Venit's hand, at which time Venit grabbed his genitals.

"He literally takes his hand, and puts it — and he squeezes my genitals, and I jumped back," Crews said.

Venit continued to stick his tongue out, and attempted to grab the actor once more, but this time, according to Crews, he pushed him away, and Venit giggled at him.

"I've never felt more emasculated, more objectified. I was horrified," Crews said.

Crews said he then asked Adam Sandler (one of Venit's clients at the time) what was going on with his agent, and said Sandler also seemed to be confused by his behavior. 

Crews said he resisted the urge to get into a violent altercation with Venit because he didn't want to get pegged as a "thug," or worse, get himself arrested.

"I put it in the back of my head, and I understood why women everywhere had to let it go," Crews said.

When the Weinstein allegations broke, Crews said he felt like he had "PTSD," and recognized he had also experienced sexual assault. Empowered by the women coming forward with allegations against Weinstein, he decided it was the right time to share his own experience.

"I will not be shamed," Crews said.

The fallout

Before appearing on GMA, Crews wrote a series of tweets last month in which he said that a "high-level Hollywood executive" had sexually assaulted him. And last week, Crews filed a report with the LAPD alleging that Venit was that man, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Hollywood Reporter also wrote that Venit would be taking a leave of absence from his post at WME on November 3. However, in a THR report published Wednesday, sources told the publication that Venit would be returning to his post at WME, where he represents A-List clients like Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, Kevin James, Steve Martin, and Diane Keaton.

Crews has since dropped WME as his agency.

• Social media star Jake Paul has reportedly bought a new mansion in Calabasas, CA.
• It covers 15,000 square feet over 3.5 acres, and he paid $6.9 million for it.
• Paul had previously stirred up controversy by annoying his neighbors.

20-year-old social media star Jake Paul has a habit of annoying his neighbors, so anyone who lives near his new, $6.9 million mansion in Calabasas should be on high alert.

Before Paul reportedly bought it, the home had been listed for $7.395 million, according to the Los Angeles Times. 

Paul, who became famous by making short videos on the now-defunct social media platform Vine, has built a following of over 11 million subscribers on YouTube. He also acts on the Disney Channel show "Bizaardvark" and started a management company for social media personalities.

After he claimed that his neighbors tried to kill him in July, it makes sense that Paul would be looking for a new home. 

Here's what his new, 15,000-square-foot mansion looks like.

• Gal Gadot confirmed that Brett Ratner, whose company helped finance "Wonder Woman," is not involved in the sequel.
• However, it's not because of her ultimatum that went viral over the weekend, in which she reportedly refused to be in the film if Ratner was still involved.
• Ratner's company's deal with the studio expires in 2018, before "Wonder Woman 2" begins production.

While promoting "Justice League" on NBC's "Today" show Wednesday, Gal Gadot confirmed that Brett Ratner will not be involved in the sequel to "Wonder Woman." This is on the heels of a story that ran over the weekend in Page Six, which said that Gadot would not return to the iconic DC Comics role if the director-producer was involved.

“The truth is, there’s so many people involved in making this movie, it’s not just me, and they all echoed the same sentiments," Gadot said. "Everyone knew what was the right thing to do. But there was nothing for me to actually come and say because [the decision] was already done before this article [on Saturday declaring a stand-off] came out.”

Ratner, whose production company RatPac-Dune Entertainment helped finance "Wonder Woman" and other major titles for Warner Bros., is one of the Hollywood players to be accused of sexual assault and harassment since the bombshell reports of movie executive Harvey Weinstein's alleged decades-long misconduct prompted a "ripple effect." 

However, it wasn't the Gadot ultimatum that led to Ratner not being involved in "Wonder Woman 2," which will open in theaters in November 2019.

As Business Insider reported on Monday, the deal RatPac-Dune has with Warner Bros. will expire before "Wonder Woman 2" goes into production.

The 2013 deal between the two companies was for 75 pictures over "three or four" years covering Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema releases. The final title in the deal will be the Dwayne Johnson movie, “Rampage,” which opens for New Line April 20, 2018.

Ratner announced in early November that he would "step away" from his work at the studio. That included the scrapping of a Hugh Hefner biopic he was to direct with Jared Leto playing the recently-deceased Playboy founder.

NOW WATCH: 'You are the light': Watch controversial Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte serenade Trump with a love song

• "Coco" is the latest Pixar movie and is directed by Lee Unkrich ("Toy Story 3").
• The movie focuses on the Mexican holiday, Dia de los Muertos ("Day of the Dead"), and marks the first time Pixar has told a story around a cultural celebration.
• Unkrich brought on cultural consultants to make sure the story was representing Mexican culture correctly. This is the first time a Pixar movie has welcomed in outsiders to a project still in production.
• This came after the Latino community protested Disney for attempting to patent the phrase "Dia del los Muertos" for the movie.

Director Lee Unkrich was hot off the box office success and Oscar win for 2010’s “Toy Story 3” when he delved into making a movie that focused on the Mexican holiday, Dia de los Muertos. Seven years later, the project now known as “Coco” is finally ready for release (in theaters November 22), but the experience of making it was unlike any other Pixar movie before. 

Under the watchful eye of Pixar/Walt Disney Animation head John Lasseter, Disney animation has been a powerhouse for over two decades. A big reason for that is the visionaries behind the scenes who are always looking for a challenge. For Unkrich, it was the Day of the Dead holiday that really fascinated him as an entry into telling a story. 

“It wasn't until I started to learn about the tradition, and what it was truly all about, and its history, that I started to really see the potential of telling a story that could be very adventurous and visually dazzling, full of music and color, but could also have a real emotional resonance,” Unkrich told Business Insider. “And that's what we're all really looking for ultimately in the stories that we tell. We don't want to just tell a story that's gimmicky and clever.”

It would be new terrain for Pixar: the first time it would tell a story around a cultural celebration. But Lasseter was game. He gave Unkrich the okay and the filmmaker got started in September of 2011.

The story follows a young boy named Miguel who secretly wants to be a famous musician, though his family has forbidden music after his great-great-grandfather left the family to seek out fame as a musician. While celebrating Day of the Dead, Miguel magically ends up in the Land of the Dead, and must go on a journey to find his way back to the living while also searching for his great-great-grandfather.

“Many of us have lost loved ones and have spend time thinking about them and wanting to keep their memories alive, so we felt even though this was a culturally specific setting for our story that it was going to be full of ideas that people all over the world could relate to,” Unkrich said.

But finding the right tone for the culture it was spotlighting turned out to be the project’s biggest challenge. At first, to stay clear of stereotypes and making sure to be culturally respectful, Unkrich said he used many Pixar artists and employees who are Mexican or Mexican-American as a sounding board. However, a major roadblock hit the production in 2013 when Disney filed an application to patent Dia de los Muertos for the release of the movie. The Latino community went into an uproar on social media and a petition to stop Disney went up on Change.org and received over 21,000 signatures. The company quickly withdrew the application.

Unkrich admits making “Coco” has been a learning process from the start, but he said they really hit their stride when they put together a group of cultural consultants. Made up of people like Lalo Alcaraz — author of the nationally syndicated comic “La Cucaracha,” who was one of the most vocal opponents of the patent — and Latino playwright Octavio Solis, the group would meet with Unkrich, codirector Adrian Molina, and their team every few months and look at the development of the project. It was the first time on any Pixar movie that outsiders were allowed into the studio’s creative process. And getting the feedback of outsiders didn’t stop there.

“We ended up bringing in periodically big groups of all sorts of folks from the Latino community, from artists to writers to political figures to media executives, because we wanted to get a lot of different perspectives,” Unkrich said. “What we quickly learned is there is no one right way to tell a story set in the Latino community, there are a lot of different opinions. Part of our challenge was trying to navigate all those different opinions to figure out our path forward.”

These meetings with the consultants and Latino community didn’t lead to any major changes to the story, Unkrich said, however they were responsible for many small tweaks that increased the movie’s connection to Mexican culture.

One example is a change in how the character of Miguel’s grandmother, Abuelita, disciplines people.

“In her earlier conception we gave her a wooden spoon that was tucked into her apron string and she would whip that out and kind of hit you to express displeasure,” Unkrich said. “It was at one of our earlier screenings that a couple of our cultural consultants said, ‘A spoon has nothing to do with Latino culture, she should really pull off her chancla, her slipper, and hit them with it.’ And that was the first time we learned about la chancla, and we embraced the idea fully. That one adjustment has proven to win us a lot of points in the Latino community because it's something a lot of people grew up fearing.”

Then there were the factors surrounding the movie that were beyond Unkrich and Pixar’s control, like how immigration suddenly became a hot-button topic after the election of Donald Trump as president. Unkrich said he and his crew were in Mexico on election night, recording music by local musicians for the movie. He said the news of the Trump win didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits, but he does recognize the current climate about immigration and race, and how it’s changed substantially since back when they began working on “Coco.”

“I feel like this has been a confusing time for many people, and there's lots of negativity in the air, and we just hope that with this film we are bringing some needed positivity,” he said.

Unkrich doesn’t know if “Coco” can be a unifier, but he does believe that telling stories like this is important.

“I think a lot of great change in history has come from stories and storytelling, there's a power to it,” he said. “The one thing that everyone knows for sure these days is that we're living in super unpredictable times. All I can really say is that I firmly believe that by bringing this movie out we're trying to be part of the solution rather than trying to be part of the problem.”

NOW WATCH: Sean Astin talks about the most shocking scene from ‘Stranger Things 2’

• In the 1980s, long before he founded Salesforce, Marc Benioff programmed video games for Atari 8-bit computers. 
• Benioff posted a bunch of his old work on Twitter on Wednesday after a video game enthusiast uploaded videos of the games to YouTube.
• One of the games even included music written by his grandmother.

 
If you've ever wondered what it takes to found a billion dollar tech company, the answer might be video games.

At least that was the path Marc Benioff followed.

Benioff, the founder and CEO of Salesforce, the $75 billion cloud service provider, got his start in the tech industry as a high schooler in the 1980s by programming video games for Atari computers. On Wednesday, the San Francisco billionaire offered some insights into his geek pedigree, posting on Twitter links to videos of some of his old games and explaining some of the circumstances around their development.

"Magically thanks to YouTube here it is!" Benioff said in one of the tweets, which pointed to a video of his game called "Flapper." "Nostalgia!"

Benioff wrote his first game when he was 16 and started out focusing mainly on adventure-style games, he said on Twitter. After he graduated from high school in 1982, he started making arcade-style games, he said. "Flapper" was one of the games from his college years; Benioff's grandmother, Freddie Lewis, wrote the music for it.

Best know for its video game machines, Atari also offered a line of home computers that were superpopular from the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. Those personal computers helped popularize software programming.

Benioff switched to Macs in 1984, because he started using the programming language Assembly. He posted his series of tweets after a video game archivist uploaded videos of his old games to YouTube. 

 You can see the games and read Benioff's commentary on them below:

NOW WATCH: Here's how to figure out exactly how your take-home pay could change under Trump's new tax plan

• Autonomous sensory meridian response, or ASMR, is a tingling sensation that occurs when some people hear soft sounds, such as whispered voices or the poof of a bag of chips opening. 
• Awareness of the sensation was initially limited to a small group, but in recent years, it's entered the mainstream.
• Major brands are tapping into that awareness. Dove and IKEA have produced ads intended to trigger the response, and W Magazine has produced a series of ASMR-inducing videos featuring celebrities.
  

There's a corner of the internet where people are posting videos of themselves whispering breathily into microphones, rubbing their fingernails on sequins, and eating pickles very, very slowly. 

The videos might sound snoozy to some, but they're incredibly popular, regularly garnering millions of views. This clip of a woman tapping a hairbrush and playing with a peacock feather, for example, has attracted more than 19 million views. A wordless ten-hour video of a man softly rubbing his palms together and mouthing words has been viewed nearly 14 million times.

And that video of a woman slowly eating a pickle? It's garnered nearly 6 million views.

So, what's the allure? 

Viewers aren't tuning into these videos for their visual content. Rather, the millions of hits are attributed to the videos' ability to stimulate something called autonomous sensory meridian response, or ASMR.

ASMR is the physical tingling sensation some people feel when they hear soft, repetitive sounds. Everything from the sound of pages being slowly turned in a book to the act of chewing gum to the opening of a bag of chips can trigger the response.  

A 2015 study on the effects of ASMR reported that 75 percent of participants felt a tingling when they heard people whispering. Some 64 percent felt the sensation when they heard "crisp sounds," such as fingernails tapping on a metallic surface.

Despite the apparent popularity of ASMR-triggering videos, the phenomenon was first documented only eight years ago by a cybersecurity professional named Jennifer Allen. Allen initiated the first major public discussion of ASMR in 2009 and coined the term for the phenomenon the following year. Initially, though, interest in the topic was confined to a small group of people.

It's unclear exactly when awareness of ASMR went mainstream, but in recent years the topic has inundated the internet and popular culture. 

A quick search of ASMR on YouTube yields more than 10 million results. The phenomenon has been referenced in TV shows including HBO's hit series, "High Maintenance," and it's been featured in prominent advertising campaigns worldwide.

Last year, a Chinese advertising firm debuted a Dove commercial featuring an ASMR trigger— lots of chocolate unwrapping. And in August,  IKEA released a 25-minute-long ad for bedroom products intentionally designed to spur the response from viewers. One of its key lines: "Listen as we explore the thread count of the fitted sheet."

W Magazine has an entire series of ASMR videos featuring celebrities. In one Kate Hudson rubs sequined clothing. In another, Eva Longoria quietly opens a bag of popcorn. In yet another, Margot Robbie spritzes hairspray and spreads Vegemite on toast.

"Maybe add a slice of cheese with it," Robbie whispers. 

Still not convinced ASMR is a real thing? There's even a collection of videos intended for doubters, who are known among ASMR believers as "tingle virgins."

• Elon Musk is looking for a new girlfriend, after actress Amber Heard broke up with him in August.
• Musk told Rolling Stone he doesn't think he can be happy without a "long-term" companion, but said he's having trouble meeting women.

Elon Musk is lovesick over ex-girlfriend actress Amber Heard (who's in "Justice League," opening this weekend), and he wants advice for who he should date next.

In a new profile of the tech mogul in Rolling Stone, the CEO of both Tesla and SpaceX opened up about his romantic life.

"I just broke up with my girlfriend," Musk said, (hesitantly) according to Rolling Stone. "I was really in love, and it hurt bad."

Heard, who divorced actor Johnny Depp in 2016, began officially dating Musk in April, when the two took to social media with twin Instagram posts. Then in August, Heard said that they had split. Heard wrote on Instagram that they still "care deeply for one another and remain close.” She also said she was going through “difficult, very human times.”

According to Musk, the breakup was more Heard's idea than his. "She broke up with me more than I broke up with her, I think."

Now Musk is looking for love again.

"If I'm not in love, if I'm not with a long-term companion, I cannot be happy ... Going to sleep alone kills me," he said. Musk has been married three times, though twice to the same woman, British actress Talulah Riley. He has five sons.

And though you might think it's easy for a hyper-intelligent billionaire like Musk to meet women, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Is there anybody you think I should date?" he asked the Rolling Stone reporter. "It's so hard for me to even meet people."

Perhaps he just works too much.

President Donald Trump has spent the last 10 months meeting numerous world leaders, and he's (almost) never shied away from greeting them with a handshake — often in over-the-top, awkward ways.

Trump, who reportedly is a huge germaphobe, once called handshakes "barbaric," citing fears that handshakes could transmit the flu and a host of other diseases. But as president, shaking hands is unavoidable, and Trump has developed his own signature approach to it on the international stage.

Here are 12 of the most satisfyingly awkward handshakes Trump has exchanged with world leaders:

Trump's first handshake with a world leader after being elected was with none other than President Barack Obama. While the handshake itself was pretty normal, the lack of eye contact and the obvious tension between the two made for an awkward interaction.

Word spread quickly about Trump's bizarrely long and domineering handshaking style soon after he took office. Here, Trump ensnared Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in a marathon 19-second handshake.

Abe's perplexed expression in the handshake's aftermath spread online and on TV talks shows like wildfire.

This week, Australians overwhelmingly voted in favor of changing the law to allow same-sex marriage.

Despite Australia's role as host of one of the world's largest LGBTQI pride parades, Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardis Gras, it has lagged behind other Western countries on LGBTQI rights, including same-sex marriage.

While campaigning for LGBTQI rights has been an uphill battle in Australia and also the US, in 2015 same-sex marriage was legalized by the US Supreme Court in a landmark 5-4 decision.

And now, more than two years later, Australia's federal government has pledged to pass legislation before the end of 2017.

Here's how Australia's march toward legalizing same-sex marriage compares to the US:

The US began moving toward legalizing same-sex marriage in the 1970s, when the first lawsuits seeking legal recognition of same-sex relationships first emerged.

These lawsuits pushed the idea of legally recognizing same-sex relationships into the public and started the discussions on same-sex marriage.

A 1993 lawsuit in Hawaii evoked the US Constitution to argue against a same-sex marriage ban.

In 1993, a lawsuit in Hawaii claimed that banning same-sex marriage violated the state's constitution. The case, which made it to the US Supreme Court but was dismissed in 1999, set the tone for discussions on same-sex marriage in the new millennium.

As the movement gained steam, the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was enacted in 1996.

• Female cast and crew of the teen drama "One Tree Hill" signed a joint statement accusing showrunner Mark Schwahn of sexual harassment.
• The women said that Schwahn talked to them in traumatizing ways, and some of them are still in therapy for post-traumatic stress because of it. 
• E! has suspended Schwahn from his show "The Royals."

On Monday, stars of the teen soap "One Tree Hill," which ran from 2003 to 2012 on The WB and The CW, united against its showrunner Mark Schwahn and accused him of sexual harassment. Now E! has suspended Schwahn from his current position as showrunner on "The Royals."

In a statement on Wednesday, E! and Lionsgate announced Schwahn's suspension: 

“E!, Universal Cable Productions and Lionsgate Television take sexual harassment allegations very seriously, investigate them thoroughly and independently, and take appropriate action. Lionsgate has suspended Mark Schwahn from The Royals as we continue our investigation.” 

On Monday, actresses Sophia Bush, Hilarie Burton, and Bethany Joy Lenz signed their names on a statement acknowledging Schwahn's alleged sexual harassment during the run of "One Tree Hill."

Over the weekend, "One Tree Hill" writer (and current "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" writer) Audrey Wauchope tweeted that she and her writing partner Rachel Specter were regularly sexually harassed while working on the show, but she didn't name Schwahn in any of the tweets. 

"He pet hair. He massaged shoulders," Wauchope wrote. "I know he did more but not to me so they're not my stories to share."

Bush, Burton, Joy Lenz, and Wauchope are just four of the 18 of the women who signed the statement. The statement says that Schwahn's behavior was an open secret on the show, and some of the women are still in treatment for post-traumatic stress. 

"Many of us were put in uncomfortable positions and had to swiftly learn to fight back, sometimes physically, because it was made clear to us that the supervisors in the room were not the protectors they were supposed to be," the statement says. "Many of us were spoken to in ways that ran the spectrum from deeply upsetting, to traumatizing, to downright illegal. And a few of us were put in positions where we felt physically unsafe. More than one woman on our show had her career trajectory threatened."

"Believe women," the statement says. "We are all in this together." (Read the full statement at The Hollywood Reporter.)

Schwahn was not immediately available for comment.

• London's The Old Vic theater found "20 personal testimonies" of alleged inappropriate behavior by Kevin Spacey during his tenure there.
• Spacey was the artistic director of the theater from 2004 to 2015.
• The allegations follow a series of accusations against Spacey, including from Mexican actor Roberto Cavazos, who worked with Spacey at the theater.

London's The Old Vic theater has found "20 personal testimonies" of alleged inappropriate behavior by Kevin Spacey during his tenure as the theater's artistic director.

The theater opened an investigation into Spacey following Mexican actor Roberto Cavazos' allegation last month that Spacey had sexually assaulted young men while working there, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"This investigation concluded that there have been 20 personal allegations of incidents relating to The Old Vic ranging from 1995 to 2013, with the majority falling before 2009," the theater said in a statement on Thursday.

Spacey was the artistic director of the Old Vic from 2004 until 2015. The investigation found that 16 staff members and four other people came forward with a variety of allegations against Spacey.

The Old Vic said a "cult of personality" existed around Spacey that prevented people, particularly junior staff and young actors, from speaking out against him. The theater said no legal claims or formal grievances were made against Spacey during his tenure.

The theater apologized for "not creating an environment or culture where people felt able to speak freely."

"This is clearly unacceptable and the Old Vic truly apologises for not creating an environment or culture where people felt able to speak freely," the theater said.

Spacey's most recent comment on the various allegations against him came early this month from his publicist, who has since dropped him: "Kevin Spacey is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment."

NOW WATCH: This South Korean boy band is taking over the music world

Since the actor Anthony Rapp last month accused Kevin Spacey of making a sexual advance when Rapp was 14, a number of other people have come forward to accuse the Spacey of sexual misconduct.

Most of the allegations involve Spacey inappropriately touching, or making sexual advances toward, younger male actors. The accusations start as early as the 1980s, around the beginning of Spacey's acting career, and run into the late 2010s.

Spacey's representatives responded to Business Insider's request for comment on the accusations early this month, saying: "Kevin Spacey is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment." 

After eight people who worked on Netflix's "House of Cards" accused Spacey of sexual harassment or assault in a CNN report, Spacey's agency and publicist dropped the actor.

Production on "House of Cards" was suspended indefinitely on October 31, and Spacey was fired from the show early this month.

Here are all the men who have publicly accused Spacey of sexual misconduct:

Anthony Rapp

In an article published in late October by BuzzFeed News, the "Star Trek: Discovery" actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of making a sexual advance toward him when Rapp was 14 and Spacey was 26.

Rapp said the incident happened in 1986, while Rapp and Spacey were cast members in a Broadway production, when Spacey invited him to a party at his Manhattan apartment. He said Spacey later found him watching TV in a bedroom and that Spacey picked him up, placed him on the bed, and lay on top of him.

"I still to this day can't wrap my head around so many aspects of it. It's just deeply confusing to me," Rapp told BuzzFeed News.

In a statement, Spacey apologized to Rapp, saying he did "not remember the encounter" but that if it happened it "would have been deeply inappropriate, drunken behavior."

His apology to Rapp sparked criticism when he chose to come out as gay in the same statement.

Roberto Cavazos

The actor Roberto Cavazos in a Facebook post accused Spacey of trying to touch him without his consent at the bar of London's Old Vic theater in 2008.

Spacey was the artistic director of the theater from 2004 to 2015, and Cavazos appeared in numerous plays there starting in 2008.

"I don't remember how many people told me the same story: Spacey would invite them to meet him to 'talk about their careers,'" Cavazos said in the post, originally written in Spanish. "When they arrived at the theatre, [Spacey] had prepared champagne on the stage, beautifully lit. Each story varied in how far the picnic went, but the technique was the same. More common was to find him at the bar of the theatre, grabbing whoever caught his attention."

"There are many of us who have a 'Kevin Spacey story,'" he continued. "It seems the only requirement was to be a male under the age of 30 for Mr Spacey to feel free to touch us. It was so common that it became a local joke (of very bad taste)."

Tony Montana

The independent filmmaker Tony Montana told Radar Online that Spacey groped him at a Los Angeles bar in 2003, when Montana was in his 30s.

"I went up to order a drink, and Kevin came up to me and put his arm around me," Montana told the outlet. "He was telling me to come with him, to leave the bar. He put his hand on my crotch forcefully and grabbed my whole package."

Montana said Spacey then told him, "This designates ownership." Montana said that after he removed Spacey's hand and walked away, Spacey, who appeared intoxicated, followed him into the bathroom.

"I backed him out the door, and I pushed him," he said. "One of his friends was in line, and I said, 'It's time to take your boy home.' They all ended up leaving."

Montana said he had post-traumatic stress disorder for six months afterward.

• Google created Google Preferred as a way for advertisers to run ads in the top content on YouTube. But advertisers have found lots of problematic content in the Preferred lineup.
• As more ad buyers dig into what's really for sale through Google Preferred, there's a growing sense among some that Google oversold the premium, brand-safe nature of these videos.
• Google has been purging some channels from Preferred, but advertisers still find their ads next to questionable videos, including clips with foul language, sexually explicit talk, and content aimed at kids.
• "This is not TV," said one ad buyer upset about the content. "Not even close."

If you've spent any time on YouTube, you know there's something for everybody.

Sometimes the videos are weird.

There's a series of videos on the channel called Heroes Team that feature people dressed as Spider-Man and Elsa from Disney's "Frozen" having a baby together. Sometimes the humor is racist, like a recent clip posted in a video-game channel called Cloud9 Mango in which a fan at a Philadelphia Eagles game is described as "Asian as f--k."

Often, they're sexual, too. Ballroom Throwbacks features videos of dance-offs with the performers in various states of undress. Here's a link— but it's definitely not safe for work.

It's the internet. There are far worse things out there.

But for advertisers who pitch their products on YouTube, these kinds of videos are a nightmare. Worse, all the channels, at one time or another, have been part of something called Google Preferred. It's an ad offering launched about five years ago as a way for marketers to run ads on the top channels on YouTube.

You can see why they'd have a problem with this. After being assured their products would be pitched against premium content — and charged more for it — marketers are now saying that Google Preferred is full of landmines. They cite videos they didn't expect to be considered premier content or those that slip through Google's filters and wind up accompanying their ads.

The Cloud9 Mango videos, for example, remain part of the Preferred lineup. Over the past week, Business Insider spotted ads proceeding these videos for Universal Parks and Resorts, including one touting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

In the minds of many in the ad industry, Google Preferred was supposed to be the closest thing to buying ads on TV that YouTube had to offer.

• It promised a clean, well-lighted environment for brand advertising, the kinds of ads that have typically run on national TV — like sexy car ads and commercials for the Gilettes, Budweisers, and Cokes of the world.
• They say that Google presented Google Preferred as a way to run ads next to videos only from the best YouTube creators, a group of born-on-YouTube influencers increasingly popular among teens and young adults.
• With Preferred, Google was seen as vouching for these channels

Losing some control

In reality, Google Preferred is all over the map in quality. And because the channel featured in Preferred are selected by an algorithm, advertisers don't always know what they're getting.

"When you commit to this, you get what Google defines as premium, and you lose some control," said Jeff Liang, the
chief digital officer at ad-buying agency Media Assembly. "I don’t think advertisers understand how the algorithm works. Unlike TV where you know exactly what the show is about, you still don’t have that control with YouTube. You don't know where your ads are going to end up.

"If you talk to Google, they'll say, 'We have a lot of YouTube stars,'" Liang added. "Brands don’t know who they are, so this collates them for you. But in terms of how big Preferred actually is, that's very difficult to get from these guys. That's something they don’t really share. You're really trusting them. The brand-safety issue is absolutely a problem for them."

Some advertisers and their agencies say this goes beyond a problem for Google. They argue that Google Preferred has not lived up to its premium billing. Many ad buyers spoke with Business Insider on condition of anonymity because, they said, they did not want to damage their relationship with a crucial partner like Google.

These buyers said they felt misled by Google, and they're not happy. Google says it removes channels that aren't appropriate and that it is working on giving the brands more control over what the ads run against. Some of the ad buyers said they give the company credit for its response, but that doesn't keep them from worrying that they could see their wholesome pitch running into trouble.

The year of brands living dangerously

Ever since the subject of "brand safety" blew up earlier this year — after a string of bombshell stories from the Times of London and The Wall Street Journal found lots of big brands' ads next to ISIS videos, clips with Nazi jokes, or anti-Semitic fare — advertisers are scrutinizing everything.

That led to several big ad agencies to dig a lot deeper into what kind of content is featured in Google Preferred and whether brands even belong there.

They say that Google did not actually know the extent of the videos that were featured in Google Preferred — and the company does not have an actual person watch every video in every Preferred channel. But they add that Google has dragged its feet on providing detailed reporting on Preferred campaigns.

Yes, Google Preferred does provide ad space next to videos produced by top popular YouTube creators. But since the start of the year, many ad buyers have found that Preferred also features:

• videos with sexually explicit discussions
• foul language and misogynistic talk
• a significant amount of content aimed at kids but that could attract adults
• a fair amount of content that is not in English, which matters to advertisers marketing in English
• a large number of videos featuring adults dressed as kids characters that border on the bizarre

To be clear, the types of ISIS and outright hate videos that set off alarms earlier in the year (which led to a large YouTube-ad boycott) are generally not making it into the Preferred algorithm. More often, brands are concerned about whether the videos showcased on the Preferred channels are appropriate for their brands. Of course what is appropriate is highly subjective and differs by advertiser.

"We built Google Preferred to help our customers easily reach YouTube's most passionate audiences, and we've seen strong traction with a record number of brands using it this year," said Debbie Weinstein, the managing director of YouTube and video solutions. "When we're made aware of channels that don't belong in this offering, we remove them, and are looking into ways to offer our brand partners even more control for what they buy next year. "

Regardless, a growing number of top agencies say they feel as though Google Preferred is not what it was billed to be. It's likely why several top advertisers, including AT&T and Chase, have yet to return to running ads on YouTube.

How YouTube sold Preferred

At its annual Brandcast event in New York in 2014, Google formally introduced Preferred. Outside the event, teen fans lined up to see the YouTube star Bethany Mota, known for her fashion tips and life advice.

The message was clear: YouTube has a growing number of clean-cut stars making videos you may not know about, Mr. or Mrs. Media Buyer, but your kids probably do.

During the show, Google explained Preferred features the top 5% of channels on YouTube in a variety of categories, ranging from gaming to comedy to parenting. The channels are selected using an algorithm that factors in popularity, how long people stay on these channels, how often they share content, and other forms of engagement.

"We know that content matters," said then president of Google Americas, Margo Georgiadis, at the event. "So we curated Google Preferred. It’s the top 5% of content on YouTube in areas like food [and] music"

"You can think of it like prime-time television," said YouTube product manager Meredith Bailey.

Except that in prime-time television, ad buyers know exactly where their ads are going to run. Agencies even get flagged ahead of time when big network shows are going to feature hot-button issues like, say, teen pregnancy or gun safety, in case they want to steer their advertisers away from such very special episodes.

That level of detail wasn't initially part of Preferred, which features about 9,000 channels, according to people familiar with the matter. In fact, some agencies say it's only this year that Google has discussed which channels are actually in Preferred in any real detail.

At the 2014 presentation, Google executives focused on talking up budding YouTube stars like Zoella and Michelle Phan. The web-video company Soul Pancake even spoke about how YouTube helped bring recognition to a talented young performer with a terminal illness.

And if advertisers left the event and didn't ask too many questions, they likely came away with the idea that Google Preferred allowed them to buy ads alongside the most popular young creators on the platform. And many over the past few years started moving TV ad budgets to YouTube.

What really irks ad buyers about YouTube

From Google's point of view, Google Preferred was designed primarily to make it easier for TV buyers to understand the vastness of the platform. It was about the most popular content on YouTube, not necessarily a handpicked package of brand-friendly videos.

But it's the idea that Google used the word "curate" that bothers some buyers. "That's total bulls--t," one said.

Along with the TV analogy, "This is not TV," another buyer said. "Not even close."

You can buy web-video ads on the open internet for about $10 to reach 1,000 people. Yet YouTube Preferred commands ad prices that are double or triple that and often comparable to at least cable TV. The difference being, as one ad buyer remarked, "Their inventory really sucks."

Then there's this blurb from Google's industry blog (emphasis added):

Google Preferred aggregates YouTube's top content, such as Michelle Phan and Good Mythical Morning, into easy-to-buy packages for brand advertisers.

Google Preferred offers brand advertisers access to the most popular YouTube channels among U.S. 18- to 34-year-olds. Brands using Google Preferred choose from 12 lineups—or packages of channels—across categories such as Beauty & Fashion, Entertainment & Pop Culture, or Foods & Recipes and share their messages alongside some of the most engaging and brand safe content on YouTube.

Buyers say that Google has recently backed off the idea that they promise brand safety with Preferred. One reason: Google doesn't watch every video on every Preferred channel.

Eyes wide open

For the first few years that Google Preferred was for sale in the market, most advertisers "didn't pay a lot of attention to what their agency ended up buying," said Andreas Goeldi, chief technology officer at the video-analytics firm Pixability.

"There was a cascade of ignorance," Goeldi said. "YouTube looks like a well-lit place. If Google says it's fine, it's definitely fine."

Since early this year, when all the brand-safety issues came to light, marketers have been on high alert and asking harder questions. "They are really overwhelmed with the granularity on YouTube," he said. Naturally, he recommends buying YouTube ads with the help of a third party.

That's why right now several ad agencies and tech companies have junior staffers poring through every YouTube clip carrying their clients' ads. More than one media buyer said they have had to alert their IT department that they may end up watching questionable content as a result.

The tech marketer HP recently pored through the channels it was advertising on YouTube via Preferred and ended up removing 1,400 channels "to bring the network up to a higher qualitative standard, leaving 7,400 of the best channel available to run on," said Dan Salzman, HP's global head of media, analytics and insights. "HP is asking for increased transparency into the quality and nature of the content prior to an ad being run especially if Google Preferred is sold as a premium video opportunity."

Google has also spent part of 2017 purging some channels from Preferred. And in September the company finally rolled out video-by-video-level reporting for advertisers so that they can find out exactly where their ads will run.

That should make agencies happy, though it will give them a lot of data to dig through on YouTube ad campaigns.

"We at GroupM, on behalf of our many clients who use Google Preferred, are pleased with the partnership and improvements Google has shown in the Google Preferred offering over the past year," said Susan Schiekofer, chief digital investment officer at the ad-buying giant GroupM, in a statement.

"Our next step of improvement is to continue to work toward reporting on video level, not channel, reporting for each campaign. Google is moving this work forward and this will allow our reporting to be even more granular. We believe the work we have done together delivers the best of Preferred within our brand safety standards."

Before this year's purge, buyers have been conducting their own Google Preferred deep dives. "The first time we did the audit," said one buyer. "It was bad. Really bad."

That Google Preferred requires so much policing is what irks many ad buyers. After all, it is called Preferred.

The very gray areas

Some videos in Google Preferred are just, well, different. Take this or this or this.

And to be sure, the content in some Preferred videos could be compared to advertisers sponsoring Howard Stern or edgy cable shows like FX's "You're the Worst." Brand safety can be very much in the eye of the beholder.

Take SevenSuperGirls, which features a group of wholesome teenage girls cheerleading, going to the beach, and doing all sorts of fun things. Their videos frequently generate millions of views. And based on the comments section, they seem to have lots of young fans.

Business Insider founds ads for Capital One on this channel.

Not appropriate for any brand

But Comedy Central's Tosh 2.0 recently argued that channels like this one could be popular among creepy old men. That kind of attention makes advertisers nervous. One buyer called it "child exploitation."

And then there's the world of Elsa, Spider-Man, and the Joker. There are tons of videos on YouTube featuring adults dressed up as these characters, getting into all sorts of mischief. These videos are frequently featured on Google Preferred channels like Toy Monster and Heroes Team.

While The New York Times recently reported on kids being tricked into watching adult-themed videos on the YouTube kids app, these channels seem aimed at a broad audience on YouTube.

YouTube is cracking down on channels using kids characters in questionable ways, reported The Verge. In the meantime, advertisers debate whether their brands should or shouldn't be alongside this surprising popular content. But these channels are still in Preferred.

Some see videos that are just plain weird while others seem something more nefarious. "I don't think these videos are appropriate for any brand," said one buyer.

Credit for taking it seriously

Ad buyers credit Google for taking the Preferred criticism seriously.

"They are really trying," said one top ad executive.

Google is also planning to overhaul how it packages Google Preferred in 2018, according to people familiar with the matter. Ad buyers acknowledge that given the ongoing decline in TV ratings, particularly among young consumers, they'll have little choice but to continue advertising on YouTube, albeit with lots of caution.

"The way we address it is brand by brand," Liang said. "All have different risk tolerances."

• A new "Super Mario" movie is in the works, according to The Wall Street Journal.
• The movie is said to be an animated collaboration between Nintendo and the Universal-owned Illumination Entertainment.
• Nintendo and Universal haven't announced anything officially.

Nintendo's most important character, Mario, is reportedly headed back to the silver screen.

Mario is set to star in a new film created by the studio behind massive animated hits like "Despicable Me" and "Minions," according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The studio, Illumination Entertainment, is a subsidiary of Universal Pictures.

Nintendo isn't confirming or denying the report. A representative told Business Insider over email: "We have nothing to announce on this topic."

The film is described by The Journal as "an animated 'Super Mario Bros.' movie based on the 32-year-old video game series about a pair of sibling plumbers who fight evil turtles and mushrooms in a fantasy kingdom." That's right: It's not a live-action movie, as the 1993 adaption "Super Mario Bros." was.

The project has reportedly been in discussion for the past year; Illumination's Paris-based Mac Guff studio is said to already be working on the film, which The Journal said was in "early stages of development."

Nintendo is notoriously protective of its franchises. Outside animated "Pokémon" movies, Nintendo has rarely put its characters in starring film roles, with guest spots for various Nintendo characters in movies like "Pixels" and "Wreck-it Ralph" in recent years.

A deal with Universal would make a lot of sense — Nintendo already has a deal with Universal to produce theme-park attractions at various Universal Studios theme parks.

NOW WATCH: We played the highly-anticipated new Super Mario game and were blown away

As over 50 women have risen up to accuse the producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault or harassment, similar accusations against a number of famous and powerful men in Hollywood have surfaced.

Some people have become emboldened by the voices of Weinstein's accusers and are coming forward with allegations of sexual misconduct in what is being referred to as the "Weinstein ripple effect."

Here's a list of men who have been accused of sexual misconduct in Hollywood since news of the Weinstein allegations broke:

Ben Affleck

The actress Hilarie Burton accused Ben Affleck of groping her breast during a 2003 interview. Burton tweeted a video of the interview and wrote: "Girls. I'm so impressed with you brave ones. I had to laugh back then so I wouldn't cry. Sending love."

Affleck tweeted an apology to Burton, saying he had "acted inappropriately."

The makeup artist Annamarie Tendler in a tweet also accused Affleck of groping her during a Golden Globes party in 2014.

Affleck has not responded to Tendler's tweet. A representative for Affleck declined a request for comment from Business Insider.

Roy Price

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, film producer Isa Hackett alleged that Roy Price, the former head of Amazon Studios, sexually harassed her while they were promoting the series "The Man in the High Castle" in 2015.

Hackett worked as an executive producer on the series based on her father's book.

Hackett said she met Price on July 10, 2015, at San Diego's Comic-Con to promote the series with him and that he invited her to an Amazon staff party that evening. She and Price shared a cab to the party, where Hackett said Price told her, "You will love my d--k."

Hackett said she declined Price's advances but that the inappropriate behavior persisted throughout the evening. Hackett said she reported Price's behavior to Amazon immediately.

After the interview was published, Amazon suspended Price indefinitely, and he resigned soon after.

Price has yet to publicly address either the allegations or his resignation.

Bob Weinstein

Amanda Segel, the former executive producer of "The Mist," accused Bob Weinstein of consistently making unwanted advances on her in an interview with Variety.

Segel said that while working with Weinstein on the TV series, he continued to ask her out to dinner despite her repeatedly telling him she was uninterested in a romantic relationship. Segal said his advances stopped only once she told The Weinstein Company, which was producing "The Mist," that she would leave the series if his behavior continued.

"'No' should be enough," Segel said. "After 'no,' anybody who has asked you out should just move on. Bob kept referring to me that he wanted to have a friendship. He didn't want a friendship. He wanted more than that. My hope is that 'no' is enough from now on."

Weinstein's lawyer, Bert Fields, released a statement to Variety denying Segel's allegations.

"There is no way in the world that Bob Weinstein is guilty of sexual harassment, and even if you believed what this person asserts, there is no way it would amount to that," Fields said.

Weinstein did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
