In light of the release of the new document. Spacey unmaskedA handful of actors are rallying around Kevin Spacey in hopes of his return to the industry.
The two-part Channel 4 documentary delves into sexual assault allegations against Spacey, which skyrocketed in 2017 after Anthony Rapp claimed Spacey made sexual advances toward him when he was just 14 and Spacey was 26. Spacey was not found unreliable in a civil trial. As for other accusations that followed, it was paid of nine counts of sexual assault in a trial to be held in July 2023 in London.
This week, the actor was supported by statements shared with The Telegraph from F. Murray Abraham, Liam Neeson, Stephen Fry and Sharon Stone, the latter of whom said she “can’t wait to see Kevin back at work.”
“He’s a genius,” Stone added. “He is very elegant and funny, extremely generous and knows more about our craft than most of us.”
He also considered it “terrible that they are blaming him for not being able to reach an agreement with themselves for using him and negotiating with themselves because they did not achieve their secret agendas.”
As for Neeson, the Taken The star told the outlet that he “was deeply saddened to learn of these allegations against” Spacey.
“Kevin is a good man and a man of character,” he continued. “He is sensitive, articulate and non-judgmental, with a fantastic sense of humor. He is also one of our best performers in theater and on camera. Personally, our industry needs and misses him greatly.”
Abraham stated that “he responds[es] for [Spacey] unequivocally,” and asked, “Who are these vultures attacking a man who has publicly accepted responsibility for certain behavior, unlike so many others?”
“He is a good man, I am with him, and he who is without sin should cast the first stone,” he added.
While Fry admitted that Spacey had been “both ‘clumsy’ and ‘inappropriate’ on many occasions,” he called the documentary “parenthetical.”[ing] him with people like Harvey Weinstein” and “continues[ing] harassing and harassing him, dedicating an entire documentary to accusations that simply do not amount to crimes,” and asked how that can “be considered proportionate and justified.”
“Surely it is wrong to continue damaging a reputation based on claims and rhetoric rather than evidence and proof?” He noticed. “Unless he’s missing something, I think he’s paid the price.”
In an interview with Chris Cuomo for NewsNation CUOMO On Thursday (May 16), which marked Spacey’s first television appearance in several years, Spacey thanked his fans.
“I feel enormously gratified that friends of mine that I reached out to and that I’ve been talking to for years and years and years have been, I think, motivated by this documentary that was released, and feel strongly that any mistakes that I made In my life, any decision I have made, that was not the best, that I paid a price, it has been seven years,” he shared.
