Kevin Spacey gave an interview, saying he had been “baselessly attacked.” This comes before a new TV documentary that appears to make claims about his behavior.
- The documentary series about Spacey starts on Monday
- Spacey says he was given only seven days to respond to allegations dating back 48 years
- He did an interview saying he can no longer stay “speechless.”
- Spacey was found not guilty last year after sexual offense accusations
What Does the Documentary Claim?
The focus of the program seems to be on claims by ten men about inappropriate behavior by Spacey in the workplace:
- 9 of the men have never spoken publicly before
- They allege abuse of power, not necessarily criminal acts
- Makers say there is a public interest in showing the “breadth of testimony.”
Spacey Denies Wrongdoing
In the interview, Spacey vehemently denies the allegations against him:
- He asks why networks “monetized” off him if he was a “monster.”
- His lawyers call the claims “false and unverified allegations.”
- They say there is no public interest in “misinforming” people
So, while cleared in court last year, Spacey now faces renewed scrutiny over his workplace conduct from this documentary. The two sides seem set for a public battle over the truth.
