Kevin Spacey revealed that he became homeless after a sex scandal and is now forced to live in hotels.
Kevin Spacey, who has been accused of sexual assault against several men, told the British newspaper The Telegraph that he has effectively become homeless since the scandal. The 66-year-old actor says he now struggles to make ends meet, living in hotels or renting apartments through Airbnb.
"I'm moving from place to place, renting apartments, working wherever opportunities arise. I'm literally homeless," Spacey said, adding that he lost his Baltimore home "because the expenses over the last seven years have been astronomical and the income has been meager."
At the same time, the actor noted that he's trying to remain optimistic and looks to the future with hope: "Everything is survivable. Oddly enough, I feel like I'm back to where I started: taking on any job again. All my things are in storage, and I hope that when the situation improves, I'll be able to choose a place for a new life."
The publication notes that Spacey is truly keen on any means of making money. Recently, he performed Frank Sinatra songs at the Monte Caputo nightclub in Cyprus. Tickets cost €250, and a package for wealthy guests, including a 30-minute meeting with the actor, was offered for €1,200.
As a reminder, Kevin Spacey was accused of sexual assault by approximately 20 people, including his co-stars on the series "House of Cards." His guilt was never proven, but the scandal ruined his career: he was fired from the series, stripped of his Emmy, and cut from the film "All the Money in the World." He paid the producers of "House of Cards" $32.2 million and sold his mansion for $10.9 million to cover legal costs. In 2023, a court acquitted Spacey of all charges. Following the allegations, he came out.
In February of this year, Guy Pearce, who co-starred with Kevin in the 1997 film "L.A. Confidential," accused him of harassment and stalking for the second time. Spacey responded by recording a video and declaring, "Grow up, Guy Pearce, you're not a victim."
