Kevin Spacey broke down in an interview with Piers Morgan discussing his financial struggles due to unpaid legal fees, which he claimed amounted to "millions," leading to the foreclosure of his house in Baltimore.
Spacey was found not guilty of sexually assaulting four men in the U.K. in 2021, but faced numerous other accusations of sexual assault and misconduct as part of the #MeToo movement.
Spacey's career was impacted by the allegations. He was ordered to pay around €30 million in damages to the producers of "House of Cards" in 2022, and Netflix terminated their collaboration with him on the series after the allegations surfaced.
He acknowledged inappropriate behavior and power dynamics, admitting to "pushing the boundaries" and being "too handsy" in interviews.
Spacey denied being "friends" with deceased sex offender Epstein during an interview with Piers Morgan.
Despite his legal battles, Spacey plans to make a comeback to the entertainment industry, with support from colleagues like Sharon Stone and Liam Neeson, and even King Charles III of England.
He admitted to making mistakes and acknowledged having substantial debt and unpaid legal bills, but he disputed the use of the word "grope" in describing the allegations against him.
