American actor Kevin Spacey denies new accusations of sexual assault

A documentary, which will be broadcast next week across the Channel, has brought together the testimonies of ten men denouncing the inappropriate behavior of American actor Kevin Spacey towards them. Prior to the distribution of Spacey Unmaskedon Channel 4 on Monday May 6 and Tuesday May 7, the former star of House of Cards denied these new accusations.

In an interview with British journalist Dan Wootton, published on the internet before the broadcast of the documentary, Kevin Spacey denied any illegal behavior and asserted: “I have nothing more to hide.” “I take full responsibility for my past behavior and actions, but I cannot and will not take responsibility or apologize to anyone who made things up about me or exaggerated stories about me “he says in particular in this video of more than an hour and a half.

The actor admits to having had sexual relations with men “who thought they would advance their career by having a relationship with me” but “I have never told anyone that I would help them in their career in exchange for sexual favors”he defends himself, accusing Channel 4 of having given him only seven days to give his version of the facts.

A career at a standstill

Last year, Kevin Spacey, a two-time Oscar winner for his roles in American Beauty And Usual Suspects, was exonerated in a resounding trial in London after accusations of sexual assault by four men. Also accused of sexual assault in the United States, Kevin Spacey was found not guilty in 2022 by a New York civil court. And in 2019, charges against him were dropped in another case. These accusations, which emerged at the time of the #MeToo movement, put an end to the actor’s career, then at the height of his glory.
