Hollywood star Kevin Spacey has hit rock bottom after facing numerous allegations of sexual assault and misconduct, starting back in 2017 during the #MeToo movement. The actor has been accused by over 30 men, some of whom claim they were underage at the time of the alleged incidents.
However, Spacey has won legal cases in both New York and the U.K., where the accusations were deemed lacking in evidence. Despite this, his reputation has been irreversibly damaged and he has been blacklisted in Hollywood, resulting in financial difficulties that have forced him to foreclose his home.
In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Spacey opened up about his current financial struggles, breaking down in tears as he revealed the extent of his situation. With over 20 million views, the clip of the emotional exchange has sparked widespread sympathy for the once-beloved actor. Spacey admitted that while he has managed to avoid bankruptcy, he is now completely broke. As a result, he has been forced to foreclose his Baltimore home, which he has owned since 2016. When asked about his future plans, Spacey simply said he wants to “get back on the horse.”
However, it’s not just his current financial troubles that are taking a toll on Spacey. The actor also revealed that he still owes “many millions” in legal bills. This on top of the damage to his reputation and career has left Spacey uncertain about his future. In the interview, he expressed concern about not knowing where he will live next. This is a stark contrast to the luxurious lifestyle he was once accustomed to.
Despite his predicament, some in Hollywood have come to his defense and believe it’s time for Spacey to be allowed back into the industry. Actress Sharon Stone shared her support, stating that she “can’t wait to see Kevin back at work.” She praised his talent, calling him a “genius” who is “elegant and fun.” She also added that he is generous and knowledgeable about the craft of acting. Similarly, actor Liam Neeson spoke out in support of Spacey, calling him a “good man” with “character.” He expressed sadness at the accusations against Spacey and believes he should be given the chance to work again.

Spacey was accused of sexually assaulting young boys. Despite the results of Spacey’s case, I’d like to remind everyone that Kevin originally responded with an apology and revealed himself to be gay. It doesn’t surprise me that he won his case. I am not even surprised that other Hollywood elites are defending his actions. I am, however, a little taken aback by the sympathy he’s received from the public.
