Shocking Revelations in ‘Spacey Unmasked’: New Allegations Rock Kevin Spacey’s World!

In the same month that the New York Times broke the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal in October 2017, sparking the #MeToo movement, actor Anthony Rapp came forward with accusations against Kevin Spacey. Rapp claimed that Spacey made a sexual advance towards him in 1986, when he was only 14. Spacey quickly took to social media to state he didn’t remember such an event, but apologized for any potential inappropriate actions he may have taken while drunk and expressed remorse for any emotional pain Rapp may have suffered as a result.

Since then, the Academy Award and Emmy recipient, known for his roles in “The Usual Suspects,” “American Beauty” and “House of Cards,” has faced a barrage of similar accusations from a number of men. Spacey was also forced to pay a $31 million judgment to the “House of Cards” production company MRC for breaching their sexual harassment policy. Although Spacey was not found liable in Rapp’s federal civil suit, and was acquitted of nine criminal charges related to sexual assault and indecent assault in a London court in July 2023, a civil suit from one of the plaintiffs in the London case appears to be moving forward.

A new two-part documentary, “Spacey Unmasked,” set to premiere on Max and Investigation Discovery after its debut on the U.K.’s Channel 4, delves into the allegations against Spacey. The documentary features interviews with ten men whose allegations were not part of the London lawsuit. These men, identified only by their first names (except for actor Travis Aaron Wade), recount their experiences with Spacey, often using similar descriptions of his behavior during the alleged assaults, such as “soulless,” “cold,” and “inhuman.”

The allegations span five decades, from Spacey’s high school days to his time on “House of Cards.” All but one of the men are discussing their allegations publicly for the first time.

Each two-hour installment includes commentary from Spacey’s brother, Randy Fowler, entertainment journalist Adam Vary, Chloe Melas, who broke the CNN story about “House of Cards” cast and crew allegations against Spacey, and interviews with Spacey throughout his career. The streaming date for “Spacey Unmasked” on Max in the U.S. is yet to be confirmed.

At the close of the second episode, a statement appears: “Kevin Spacey stated that he was not given adequate time or detail to respond to the testimonies in this film. He said, ‘I have consistently denied — and have successfully defended — numerous allegations made both in the U.S. and the U.K., both criminal and civil, and have each time been able to present evidence undermining the allegations and have been believed by a jury of my peers.’” Spacey also defended himself on X, formerly Twitter, arguing that Channel 4 did not provide him ample time to respond to the allegations. He denied the allegations in a video interview with journalist Dan Wootton posted to YouTube, saying, “I can’t go through this again, allowing myself to be baselessly attacked without defending myself.”
