Kevin Spacey faced many accusations of sexual assault or misconduct, but he hasn't been found guilty in court. His latest director, Michael Zaiko Hall, in whose film Spacey has the first leading role since his U.K. trial, has just defended the "controversial" decision to cast him.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Peter Five Eight's director Michael Zaiko Hall addressed the accusations against Kevin Spacey, arguing that the actor wasn't found guilty. The two-time Academy Award-winning actor was acquitted of nine charges of sexual misconduct in his trial in the U.K. in 2023. Since then, a Channel 4 documentary titled Spacey Unmasked addressed the actor's sexual accusations, featuring the testimonies of another 10 men who weren't involved in the 2023 trial. He was also acquitted of actor Anthony Rapp's claims after a jury in New York found that Rapp didn't provide enough proof to his claim that Spacey had sexually abused him.

Kevin Spacey was a guest on Piers Morgan Uncensored this week, and he broke down in tears as he discussed his multiple sexual assault and harassment lawsuits.

Spacey was accused by over 15 individuals of sexual assault, harassment, battery, and soliciting sex from minors in 2017. Multiple accusers sued Spacey, including actor Anthony Rapp, but several of his cases have been dismissed, and Spacey was found not guilty in both US and UK courts last year. However, Spacey Unmasked, a recent Max and Channel 4 documentary that covers extensive allegations of abuse from the actor, resulted in 10 more victims coming forward.

Now, according to his interview with Morgan, Spacey is feeling the financial stress. “I’m not quite sure where I’m going to live now,” Spacey said in regards to his Baltimore home entering foreclosure. When asked why Spacey’s house is being foreclosed on, Spacey replied, “I can’t pay the bills that I owe,...

Kevin Spacey has not fully recovered from the damage the years of sexual misconduct allegations raging against him caused, and now a UK documentary is further driving him into the ground.

Following the documentary’s release, some of his peers in the movie industry – Liam Neeson, Sharon Stone and others – came out in his defense.

In his first public reaction to the support, the star also touched on his hopes ‘cancel culture’ will end.

Kevin Spacey is facing another sexual assault trial in the UK next year, but today the two-time Oscar winner saw some major star power in his corner.

Liam Neeson, Sharon Stone and Stephen Fry have come forward with unequivocal support for Spacey as the much-accused actor has been back in the spotlight via new Channel 4 docuseries with even more allegations of severe misconduct.

“I was deeply saddened to learn of these accusations against him,” Taken franchise star Neesom told the Telegraph today. “Kevin is a good man and a man of character. He’s sensitive, articulate and non-judgmental, with a terrific sense of humour. He is also one of our finest artists in the theatre and on camera.

Basic Instinct star Stone told the UK broadsheet: “I can’t wait to see Kevin back at work.

Kevin Spacey has fired back at new allegations of sexual harassment and assault set to be heard as part of a Channel 4 documentary, Spacey Unmasked, premiering in the U.K. on May 6-7.

“I’ve got nothing left to hide,” Spacey told former U.K. broadcaster Dan Wootton during a two hour, 20 minutes interview titled Kevin Spacey: Right of Reply, which streamed on X (formerly Twitter).
