Norwegian author and ex-husband of princess Martha Louise, Ari Behn, who had once accused Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey of sexual abuse, committed suicide on December 25.
The 47-year-old Behn had hit the headlines when, in a December 2017 interview, he had recounted an incident with Kevin Spacey when the actor hosted a Nobel Prize concert.
“I have a little #MeToo story about Kevin Spacey. We were having a nice chat where we spoke about theater and drama, and the little theater, the Wick, a theater in London. We had a good conversation sitting beside each other,” Behn had said, reports variety.com.

“After five minutes he said ‘Hey, let’s go out and have a cigarette,’ then he grabbed me under the table right in the b***s.”
Spacey, who has been accusing of assaulting several men, did not respond at the time of the allegation.
Behn is the third Spacey accuser to die this year, following whistleblower Linda Culkin and the anonymous massage therapist who accused Spacey of sexual assault in an October 2016 session.
After his suicide, Behn’s family spokesman Geir Hakonsund said in a statement: “It is with great sadness in our hearts that we, the very closest relatives of Ari Behn, must announce that he took his own life today. We ask for respect for our privacy in the time to come.”
