00:00But I would like to say that I'm enormously grateful to the jury for having taken the time
00:08to examine all of the evidence and all of the facts carefully before they reach the decision.
00:18And I am humbled by the outcome today. That was Kevin Spacey in July 2023 after being found not
00:26guilty of assaulting four men in a high-profile trial in the UK. However, the sexual assault
00:32scandal rocked his career, and now the Oscar-winning American Beauty actor says he's homeless. He told
00:39The Telegraph, I'm living in hotels. I'm living in Airbnbs. I'm going where the work is. I literally
00:45have no home. That's what I'm attempting to explain. Spacey, who has vigorously denied any wrongdoing,
00:51told the outlet that the costs over the last seven years have been astronomical. He said,
00:56I've had very little coming in and everything going out, but added his money problems never
01:01got to the point of bankruptcy. The actor also revealed everything is in storage. In the summer
01:06of 2024, Spacey's waterfront mansion in Maryland was sold at auction for $2 million less than what
01:12he paid for. Spacey says he hopes his career, quote, continues to improve so that he'll be able to
01:18settle down again somewhere. This week, he performed at a resort in Cyprus. In May, he received a lifetime
01:24achievement award at an event in Cannes.
01:26I've been able to come out the other side of these last few challenging years, not angry,
01:34not bitter, not resentful, but more present, more loving, more understanding, and more forgiving
01:40than I ever have been in my life. I am grateful and blessed.
01:45At the height of the Me Too movement, Spacey was accused of sexual misconduct by over 30 men,
01:49including actor Anthony Rapp. He alleged Spacey made a pass at him at a party in 1986.
01:56At the time, Rapp was 14 and Spacey 27. In 2022, a New York jury found Spacey not liable of sexual
02:04battery in a civil lawsuit brought by Rapp. Amid the scandal, Netflix replaced Spacey as the lead
02:11in House of Cards with his co-star Robin Wright. The show ended in 2018.
02:15Of his so-called cancellation in Hollywood, Spacey shared these four simple words with the Telegraph.
02:22You get through it.
