In a nearly two-hour video interview posted on social media, actor Kevin Spacey addressed the new accusations against him ahead of the premiere of the British documentary, Spacey Unmasked. The documentary, set to air in the UK next week, features the testimonies of 10 men, nine of whom have never spoken publicly before, bringing forth allegations ranging from sexual harassment to claims of inappropriate behavior.
Spacey, who declined to respond to the producers’ request for comment, chose to address the allegations in a lengthy interview with British reporter Dan Wootton. Taking full responsibility for his past behavior and actions, Spacey stated that he would not apologize to those who have fabricated or exaggerated stories about him.
The actor explained his decision to decline the producers’ request, citing a lack of transparency regarding the accusers’ identities. Spacey expressed his belief that expecting him to respond within seven days to allegations spanning 48 years was an unfair game.
Regarding the new allegations, Spacey dismissed the majority of them as “utter nonsense,” including a claim that he prevented one of his accusers from leaving a room. He denied ever blocking someone from leaving a room or locking the door.
Spacey revealed the impact the allegations and subsequent court battles have had on his life, stating that he has lost his jobs, his house, and is currently facing financial difficulties. He expressed frustration at the lack of opportunities for redemption in Hollywood, feeling as though he has been permanently canceled.
Spacey Unmasked is scheduled to air on Channel 4 in the UK on May 6th and 7th, with later distribution in the US on Warner Bros.-owned Max. Spacey issued a statement through his spokesperson last week, expressing his gratitude for starring in his first film with Warner Brothers in many years and hoping that the Academy would acknowledge the great acting by the lesser-known cast.

I am absolutely disgusted by Kevin Spacey’s attempt to address the new accusations against him in a video interview. It is beyond infuriating to see him trying to manipulate the situation and gain sympathy ahead of the premiere of a documentary about himself. This is a clear example of someone who refuses to take responsibility for their actions and instead tries to divert attention away from the serious allegations against them. It is sickening to witness such arrogance and disregard for the victims who have come forward with their stories. Spacey
