Kevin Spacey feels 'welcomed' by Hollywood after sexual abuse claims

  • On the June 28 episode of Bill Maher's Club Random podcast, The Oscar-winning Kevin Spacey said he feels "much more welcomed" in Hollywood nine years after sexual assault allegations derailed his career.
  • Following Anthony Rapp's 2017 allegations that sparked his exile, Spacey addressed his time in "show business jail," denying all wrongdoing and insisting that many accusations were consensual or entirely made up.
  • With an acquittal in London and a New York "not liable" verdict, Spacey emphasized his legal record, stating, "We've been found not guilty in every court we've gone into with a jury."
  • Since his acquittal, Spacey has starred in small projects, including the 2024 thriller The Contract, and earlier this year received the Maximo Award for Excellence at the Italian Global Series Festival.
  • Comparing his situation to a sports figure benched for seven games, Spacey argued audiences are beginning to "hear the facts," adding, "Maybe nine years has been enough" to return to work.
