Kevin Spacey responds to Channel 4 regarding imminent premiere of documentary against him

Kevin Spacey responded to Channel 4 regarding the imminent premiere of the documentary featuring allegations against him. The British network plans to premiere, on Monday, May 6, "Spacey Unmasked," a two-episode series that will be broadcast on back-to-back days and that will cover the case of the actor known for his role in "House of Cards."

Channel 4 explained in the synopsis that the documentary "investigates Spacey's behavior and speaks with several men unrelated to the case [from last year] about their experiences with Kevin Spacey, almost all of whom have never spoken before."

But, the actor stated, he was not allowed to give his version of the events, and not because he hasn't tried. As he explained on X, he asked the British network to give him seven days to respond to the accusations, a request that Channel 4 "has refused":

Kevin Spacey assures he will not remain silent

However, Kevin Spacey will not let the channel attack him without evidence. The actor, who a British court declared not guilty of new charges of sexual crimes in July 2023, assured that he would not allow himself to be attacked "in their desperate attempt for ratings":

Furthermore, the actor revealed, he has grown tired of waiting for someone to give him the opportunity to explain himself. For this reason, prior to the broadcast of the documentary, the actor confirmed that he will give his own version of the events through a post on X.

With the decision, he hopes to leave both Channel 4 and Roast Beef TV "speechless" but which, he said, will put him at ease by allowing him to give his version of what happened, "Tune in this weekend to see my response on http://X.com/kevinspacey. Channel 4 and Roast Beef TV may find themselves 'speechless,' but I no longer will be," Spacey said.
