Kevin Spacey has clarified that he is not homeless, addressing recent rumors fueled by comments he made in an interview. The actor, who was previously blacklisted from Hollywood due to sexual assault allegations, took to Instagram to explain his living situation, stating he is working nearly nonstop and is not in a financial crisis.
Days after it was reported that Kevin Spacey was homeless and living out of hotels and Airbnbs, the actor took to Instagram to address the rumors. Spacey, who was blacklisted from Hollywood after sexual assault claims surfaced years ago, stated he is not homeless in the colloquy sense and has much to be grateful for.
Spacey said that while there are many people who are indeed living on the streets or in their cars or in terrible financial situations, he is not one of them. He emphasized that his current living situation is temporary and that he has much to be grateful for.
The actor also revealed that his financial situation is not great and that he almost filed for bankruptcy at one point. However, he has been working nearly nonstop and is hopeful for the future. Spacey admitted that his financial challenges have been significant over the last seven years, but he is determined to recover.
Spacey told The Telegraph he’s hopeful for the future. He said, ‘We are in touch with some extremely powerful people who want to put me back to work. And that will happen in its right time. But I will also say what I think the industry seems to be waiting for is to be given permission – by someone who is in some position of enormous respect and authority.’
Spacey concluded the post by thanking his fans for all the kindness and support before signing off. He added, ‘I feel like it would be disingenuous of me to allow you to believe that I’m indeed homeless in the colloquial sense. In my conversation with Mick Brown, the wonderful journalist who wrote the story that was in The Telegraph where this rumor first began, I said I was basically living in hotels and Airbnbs and going where the work is.’
Spacey admitted his financial situation is ‘not great’ and revealed he almost filed for bankruptcy at one point. A representative for Spacey did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment at the time.
Spacey was acquitted on sexual misconduct charges in July 2023 after four weeks of testimony. Spacey had pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual assault, indecent assault and causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. The jury found him not guilty.
‘I imagine that many of you can understand that there’s a lot for me to process after what has just happened today,’ Spacey said after the verdict was given. ‘But I would like to say that I’m enormously grateful to the jury for having taken the time to examine all of the evidence and all of the facts, carefully, before they reached their decision.’
Spacey also thanked the staff inside the courthouse, the security, Evan Lowenstein and all those who took care of them every single day, his legal team for being there every day.
Spacey told The Telegraph he’s hopeful for the future. ‘We are in touch with some extremely powerful people who want to put me back to work,’ Spacey said. ‘And that will happen in its right time. But I will also say what I think the industry seems to be waiting for is to be given permission – by someone who is in some position of enormous respect and authority.’
‘So, my feeling is if Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino call Evan [his manager, Evan Lowenstein] tomorrow, it will be over. I will be incredibly honored and delighted when that level of talent picks up the phone.’
‘And I believe it’s going to happen,’ he added.
