The documentary aired in the UK on May 6 and 7 and promises a “forensic look” at Spacey’s rise to fame and the allegations that unseated him.

None of the men on the show were involved in the London trial at which the actor was acquitted of nine charges in July 2023, and all but one have never spoken out before. The charges stemmed from alleged acts that took place between 2001 and 2013; Spacey was artistic director of London’s Old Vic Theater from 2004 to 2015.

It was reported on Tuesday that Spacey is expected to stand trial again in Britain in 2025 over a lawsuit brought by a man who claims the actor sexually assaulted him in August 2008. The plaintiff was granted anonymity by the court.

Earlier this year, a judge awarded the unnamed plaintiff a “default judgment” in the civil case, i.e. A judge reversed that decision on Tuesday; Spacey did not attend the court hearing.

“The defendant’s lawyers made an error,” the judge said Reuters. “In my opinion, this mistake should not be blamed on the defendant.” The civil lawsuit, originally filed in July 2022, was put on hold pending the outcome of the criminal case against the star.

The actor has denied the widespread allegations against him. “I will not sit back and be offended by a dying network’s one-sided ‘documentary’ about me in its desperate attempt to gain ratings,” Spacey said in a long thread about Xformerly Twitter, before the weekend.

He also said of the document: “There is a proper channel to deal with allegations against me and that is not Channel 4. Every time I have been given the time and appropriate forum to defend myself, the allegations have failed at the exam and I was exonerated.” .”

“I have nothing left to hide,” Spacey also told former British broadcaster Dan Wootton in a two-hour and 20-minute interview titled “ Kevin Spacey: Right of reply, which was streamed on X.

Many of the victims in the documentary claim to have been impressed by Spacey, overwhelmed by his promise to help them with their careers, only to soon realize that it came at the price of alleged “sexual favors,” often while they were on set were claiming he “kidnapped” crew members to “steer lines.”

Spacey’s brother Randall Fowler is also interviewed. In the documentary, he says he was sexually abused by her father, who held “Nazi meetings” at their family home when he was a teenager. To his knowledge, his brother Kevin was not abused – but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t “psychological trauma,” Randall adds.

The allegations in Spacey exposed This includes the star shoving his groin in the face of an Old Vic worker while working as venue manager and masturbating in front of an aspiring actor while they watched The soldier James Ryan in a public theater before trying to get the victim’s hand to join in.
