Kevin Spacey is receiving support from fellow actors Liam Neeson and Sharon Stone as a new documentary has been released highlighting sexual misconduct allegations against Spacey.

 

Spacey saw multiple high profile jobs evaporate in 2017 amid the #MeToo movement where he was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple men in incidents that covered decades. Spacey was removed from Netflix's House of Cards, edited out of Ridley Scott's All the Money in the World, and a completed biopic about Gore Vidal was shelved.

 

The two-time Academy Award winner has been adamant about his innocence and responded to allegations contained in the Spacey Unmasked documentary, streaming on Max, in a recent, lengthy interview with Dan Wootten. Among the allegations against Spacey was from actor Anthony Rapp, who claimed he was assaulted as a minor by Spacey. Spacey ultimately won against a sexual battery lawsuit from Rapp in 2022. He was also acquitted of multiple sexual assault charges in the UK in 2023. 

 

Stone and Neeson spoke to The Telegraphand both called for Spacey to return to work following his legal victories.

 

"I can't wait to see Kevin back at work," Stone said. "He is a genius. He is so elegant and fun, generous to a fault and knows more about our craft than most of us ever will."

 

Stone accused some of Spacey's accusers of having "secret agendas." Spacey expressed the same sentiment in the Wootten interview, claiming he never offered career favors in exchange for companionship, but some expected such an arrangement.

 

Neeson said the industry "needs" and "misses" Spacey.

 

"I was deeply saddened to learn of these accusations against him. Kevin is a good man and a man of character. He's sensitive, articulate and non-judgmental, with a terrific sense of humor," the Taken star said. "He is also one of our finest artists in the theater and on camera. Personally speaking, our industry needs him and misses him greatly."

 

F. Murray Abraham also said he "vouched" for Spacey. Abraham was removed from the Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest amid allegations of inappropriate behavior on set. He offered an apology afterwards and claimed he only told "jokes."

 

"Surely it is wrong to continue to batter a reputation on the strength of assertion and rhetoric rather than evidence and proof?" Stephen Fry also said in support of Spacey.

 

In the Wootten interview, Spacey questioned the timing of the new documentary, arguing he was informed of its existence just as he was beginning to work again. The actor has not found the same top notch gigs he landed in the past, but he has been popping up in independent films like Peter Five Eightand Control.

 

"Despite the challenges and the difficulties and the pain and the bad days, I've also witnessed the most beautiful demonstrations of friendship and love and family," Spacey told The Telegraph.

Yikes! Hollywood gonna Hollywood and ignore the victims next again

Sharon's gone unhinged in her battle with Billy Baldwin, Liam is still the same psychopath he always was on and off screen from that racist murder fantasy he admitted to, and Stephen's always been a vastly overrated Zionist chicken hawk.

 

I stand with Anthony Rapp and Will Little.

[glitch]

Wbk Liam was a weirdo since he said that strange thing about wanting to murder a random black man...

[Karla Cabello]

chile...

[Janet]

finished watching this last night, was grim stuff and just made me feel more than ever like justice is something bought and sold by the rich, esp in sex pest cases

Oh yes these were the exact people I was wanting to vouch for him before I decided "Kevin Spacey is innocent!"

Does she not realize he can be all those things and also an abuser? She's free to feel all those things and continue to be his friend, but it doesn't mean he should be given the opportunity to repeat this behavior. 

[Gossip_Boy]

Hollywood is full of freaks.

[UnusualBoy]

Sharon girl...

[Yog]

**** all of them

I had so much expectation for these people that it was as long as the length of their spines. 

[Littlejfrey]

[Bussea]

Nothing bands Hollyweird together more than their empathy & support for predatory monsters. It's the foundation in which that nefarious industry was built on.

 

The #MeToo movement was mostly performative but at least it was the impetus to bringing down Harvey Weinstein. 

[prettyinpink940]

Very disappointed in Sharon. 

[Bimbo]

The nerve of Liam's unhinged racist ass  

 

**** Sharon.

[McNulty]

**** all of them

[Bey'Knight]

Of course they did. These disgusting pigs were also silent about Weinstein for years. Are we surprised?

 

What grind my gears is the whole, "oh he's kind and lovely man" as if abusers go around slicing kittens in public to pull off their sordid private escapades. 

[The7thStranger]

I'm with Anthony Rapp. I can't imagine what motive he would have possibly had when he outed Spacey as a predator.

[Slap]

Well this would have no impact on Kevin's career which is rightly dead, but it sure as **** makes me suspect about these three and their behavior, especially Stephen Fry. Spacey's issue was in particular that he went after young boys and Fry's choice in partner is questionable at best, somebody 30 years younger than him that he met when he was 27 years old (Fry was 55). Age gaps aren't always weird but when you go around defending a gay paedophile/sexual abuser it begins to look suss.

Kevin Spacey is a great actor. I agree. He’s still an abuser and predator who deserves to stay cancelled.

[40000000000000]

he is one of the best actors hollywood has ever seen but the guy has had enough opportunities in his life time as an abuser. he doesn't need any more.
