A month prior, a New York court dismissed Rapp’s $40 million sexual assault lawsuit against actor Kevin Spacey.
The jury in the case believed that Rapp failed to prove his allegations against Spacey, which led the judge to dismiss the case.

Rapp and Ithiphol have been together since 2016 and were engaged in November of 2019.
In an Instagram post at the time, Rapp wrote, “So something happened tonight. I asked @teerakeni if he would marry me and he said yes. I am so very happy and I’m so very thrilled to share this news.”
