's eyes were moist, his voice was choked, and Kevin Spacey seemed to be crying.

The Oscar-winning actor has been in trouble for nearly seven years, "I can't pay the bills I owe."

With blurred eyes, he painfully confessed that he had to spend a lot of money on legal fees to get out of a series of accusations of sexual misconduct. To this end, he owed millions of dollars and mortgaged a beach house. That's his home, where he settled in 2012 when he started filming "House of Cards" in Baltimore, USA.

Now, his house is up for auction, leaving him unsure of where he can live. This means that he will be homeless.

"This week, my house in Baltimore was foreclosed on," Spacey, 64, said dejectedly. "My house was auctioned off. So I had to go back to Baltimore and save all my stuff. So... I'm not really sure where I'm going to live now."

On June 12, US time, Kevin Spacey gave a lengthy interview.

At this time, on the other side of the ocean, a Hong Kong movie "The Negotiator" adapted from the Hollywood film "Ace vs. Ace" is being released in China. "Ace vs. Ace" is a classic movie starring Kevin Spacey in 1998. In that film, his acting skills impressed many audiences.

He has won two Oscars, one for Best Supporting Actor for "The Usual Suspects" and the other for Best Actor for "American Beauty."

And now, he is a bankrupt.

Everything started when he was accused of sexual misconduct by many men in the metoo storm.

From that point on, all of his acting offers disappeared, most of his friends disappeared, and with them his reputation as an Oscar-winning actor.

However, over the past few years, Kevin Spacey has won most of the sexual misconduct lawsuits brought against him.

Piers Morgan's show lasted more than an hour, and the interview not only touched on the accusations against him, but also the two-time Oscar winner The winner's mental state, sexual orientation, childhood and deeply affected finances.

In 2017, Spacey said he "went into a very, very dark place" after actor anthony rapp came forward with the accusation. Rapp has appeared in the first season of "The X-Files" and the first season of "Star Trek: Discovery".

Rapp said in the 2017 article and on the witness stand that in 1986, when he was 14, Spacey, then 26, picked him up "like a groom carrying his bride," placed him on the bed and climbed into his arms. Get on top of him and try to have sex with him.

During Pierce's interview, Spacey again denied the accusations. He said Rapp and a friend only came to his home to meet his dog. A jury found Spacey not guilty in a sexual misconduct lawsuit filed by Rapp in 2022.

When asked to explain why Rapp said those words, Spacey said that he did not want to pursue it and that he wanted to forgive the other party: "I hope that one day Anthony Rapp can accept that his memory is wrong."

Spacey admitted He is gay, and he said: "For many years, I have been reluctant to talk about myself and avoided questions about my personal life and sexuality."

His father is a "white supremacist and neo-Nazi" and He "grew up in a very complicated family relationship" that left him ashamed of his sexuality (Rapp once called Spacey a liar for not coming out as gay).

Spacey's mother once told him that his father's racism, homophobia and violence just needed "an outlet" and a Nazi flag hung in his bedroom.

After the 2017 accusations, Spacey was fired from the sixth season of House of Cards, and was later "cancelled" from the Ridley Scott film All the Money in the World, which had already filmed scenes by the late actor Christopher ·Plummer re-interprets.

Later, Spacey told the media: "My life was over in four days."

Sexual misconduct allegations against Spacey were one of the early focuses of the 2017 #metoo movement.

In 2023, Spacey was found not guilty of nine charges at London's Southwark Crown Court, including sexual assault. The crimes were said to have occurred between 2001 and 2013 and involved four men. One of the men, who requested anonymity, claimed that Spacey's sexual assault "caused him emotional harm and other financial losses."

In addition, Spacey will be liable for $31 million in damages from the producers of "House of Cards" because the sex scandals hastened the show's demise and was deemed a violation of the show's acting and production agreements. The Netflix drama "House of Cards" ended in a hurry after Spacey was accused, which ultimately led to a failure. The sixth season in Spacey's absence received extremely low reviews.

In response, Spacey criticized Netflix's decision to cut off ties after the accusations came to light as "bizarre" and "wrong." In the

interview, Piers Morgan asked about Spacey’s relationships with Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and others. Epstein is a notorious billionaire. In July 2019, he was arrested for organizing sex trafficking. On August 10 of the same year, he was found to have committed suicide in a lower Manhattan jail.

Spacey explained that he met Epstein after Clinton invited him on an eight-day humanitarian trip to Africa in 2002, which was primarily aimed at raising HIV awareness and prevention. When flight log records confirmed that Spacey was on Epstein's plane, known as the "Lolita Express," he initially denied any contact.

Spacey said, "Later I found out who he was, and I looked back and found out that the plane we were carrying out this humanitarian mission belonged to Jeffrey Epstein."

Spacey on Epstein I felt uncomfortable being there, especially considering there were young girls on the flight. "I felt like he was putting the president at risk when he visited South Africa because there were these young girls there," he said.

He clarified that the trip was with people from the Clinton Foundation, concluding the trip to Africa Later, he accompanied the former US president to Buckingham Palace to "meet Prince Andrew."

While at Buckingham Palace, they took photos in the throne room, including one of Spacey and Ghislaine Maxwell (who was later sentenced to 20 years for helping Epstein sexually exploit and abuse underage girls) imprisonment), and then they went up to see Prince Andrew. Spacey claimed, "I had never met him before; I have not seen him since."

Spacey denied that he had ever been friends with Epstein, "I did not know him and I was not with him "He was not my friend, he was not my confidant, I never spent time with him."

said of the alleged sexual behavior, which he defined as "crossing the line." Being too handsy and touching people sexually in ways that I don't know if they want." He refuted claims that he sexually touched others, clarifying that he only "touched" them "gently."

In addition to touting his comeback ambitions, Spacey also boasted to Morgan about the emotional effort he put in to escape the accusations. He talks about having "nothing to hide" and wanting to live a "more open life" and also talks about his dark times.

He said: "If I hadn't gone to rehab and had the support of my old friends Evan Lowenstein and Elton John, I don't know if I would have survived." In July 2023, the two high-profile figures gave evidence at a sexual assault trial in London.

Just as Spacey was winning most of his lawsuits alleging sexual assault, a two-part documentary "Spacey Uncovered" was broadcast on Britain's Channel 4 in early May. He faced an even worse situation. The film examines additional alleged sexual assaults by Spacey, including his alleged molestation of another "House of Cards" cast member on set.

A young actor named Daniel said that he started participating in the filming of "House of Cards" when he was 23 years old, playing an agent in Frank Underwood's (Spacey's character) security team. There was a scene where he needed to Spacey whispered in his ear. But Daniel claimed that Spacey "touched" him on set and put his finger on his zipper. "His hands touched my genitals," he claimed. "I was touched inappropriately while working on set."

Another actor, Scott, alleged that in 1998, he and Spai were at a Los Angeles movie theater. While watching Saving Private Ryan together, Scott claimed he saw Spacey "masturbating" during the film's bloody opening scene, which is set during the Normandy landings, and that Spacey later "reached out and grabbed my hand." , trying to get me to help.”

However, Spacey provided multiple emails with the two men, which he said occurred long after the events they alleged occurred. Among them, Daniel sent a carefully staged nude photo to Spacey, and more than ten years later, Scott sent Spacey a letter inviting him to make a movie.

Spacey said he has never seen Steven Spielberg's World War II movie. And he also questioned why they continued to keep in touch with him if sexual harassment occurred as claimed in the documentary. After the

documentary aired, Spacey strongly denied the accusations and said he would "never be speechless again." The actor also expressed sadness and anger at having to defend himself after his recent public acquittal. He claimed that someone was paid to make up stories, "I don't know why this documentary didn't tell the public whether these people were paid to tell these stories?"

He wanted to restart his screen career, "I hope to have the opportunity to continue telling stories. , because I feel like this is what I was put into this world to do,” he said. “If I’m lucky enough to have partners who inspire me and work together, I’ll put all this behind me. Being able to come on set and make sure everyone has a good time, make sure people get what they need and do the best they can...and I also make sure everyone is treated fairly. I learn from my mistakes. "I learned a lesson."

Spacey revealed that in recent years, he has been offered some movie roles, but every time, film executives hesitated to participate in the project, and his hopes of reviving his career were dashed. However, now that he has three independent films due out in the coming months, he hopes he can finally get back to his true passion.

Spacey said: "I do believe that most people want me to return to work."

Indeed, when the documentary "Uncovering Spacey's True Face" was aired, several Hollywood Artists including Liam Neeson, Sharon Stone, Stephen Fry and F. Murray Abraham have publicly supported the actor and want him to come back.

Neeson, who has always played tough guys, said: "I am deeply saddened to learn of these accusations. Kevin is a good man with a great personality. He is sensitive, expressive, non-judgmental and has a great sense of humor. He is also one of our theater and theater partners. One of the best artists in front of the camera. Personally, our industry needs him and misses him terribly."

Sharon Stone, best known for her role in Basic Instinct, said: "I can't wait to see Kevin. Back to work. He's a genius. He's so classy and funny and generous and understands our show better than most of us." She defended Spacey: "They accused Kevin of not being able to accept that he was taking advantage. The fact that he was negotiating with himself because they didn't get their secret agenda was horrible."

Abraham, who has starred in "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and the American TV series "Homeland Security," said: "I vouch for him unequivocally. Who are these vultures to attack a man who publicly admits he is responsible for certain actions, unlike so many others? He also said: "He is a good man, and I support him. Let those who are without sin cast the first stone." ” (Abraham himself was accused of sexual misconduct on set, and he publicly apologized after leaving the show.)

Stephen Fry criticized Spacey Unmasked’s decision to “pair Spacey with Harvey Weir Einstein and others" and "continue to harass and pursue him, devoting an entire documentary to accusations that do not constitute a crime at all... How can this be considered legitimate and reasonable? He also said: "It must be wrong to continue to damage reputation with one-sided words rather than evidence, right?" … Unless I’m missing something, I think he’s paid the price. "

In early June, Paul Schrader, the director of "First Reformed" also expressed similar thoughts. He said that if Spacey was found guilty, he would not consider working with him, but in the case of Spacey's innocence After his release, he is exploring the possibility of working with him on a Frank Sinatra biopic, Schrader told Variety: "The boycott culture won't let him go. If Kevin was found guilty, I would not cast him. But he was not convicted.

When the allegations against Spacey first came to light, other celebrities also spoke out. In 2017, British singer Stephen Patrick Morrissey said: "If you're in someone's bedroom, you have to Know where this will lead. That's why I don't find the whole thing very believable. In my opinion, Spacey was attacked unnecessarily. "

In 2018, Dame Judi Dench, who played M in the series "007", said that Spacey is "a good friend of mine." "I don't know his situation, but no matter what, he is now and has been in the past. They are all the best actors. I can't imagine what he is doing now. ” she said.

But there are also Hollywood celebrities who have given him the cold shoulder.

In earlier interviews, Spacey discussed one of the people who ditched him immediately after the accusations became public — “House of Cards” co-star Ron Robin Wright. After Spacey was fired by Netflix and his character was killed off, Wright took on the lead role and she distanced herself from him, even, in an interview, talking about Spacey. "I don't know this guy," White said nonchalantly.

Although White rejected Spacey, he didn't have anything bad to say about his co-star. "I think by keeping my distance, she wouldn't have to answer a lot. question. I understand this. "In 1998, they also co-starred in the movie "The Floating World", "I try not to judge others. Even if I don't understand what others do, I will try to understand rather than judge. "

Unlike other male celebrities caught up in the metoo storm, Spacey was accused of being gay. Although some women accused him of sometimes making inappropriate jokes, all other parties accused of sexual misconduct were men. .

It is worth mentioning that the current verdict of the lawsuit is that Spacey is "not guilty".

However, he also admitted: "I have been arrogant and conceited..." But no matter what, Now Spacey is trying to move on from it all, "without pain, without anger, without resentment. "

"My goal is no longer to be the best actor - which it used to be - my goal now is to prove that I'm a person of good character. ” he said.
