Kevin Spacey breaks down in tears as he reveals he doesn’t have any money and is being forced to sell his house after high-profile sexual assault court case
Kevin Spacey breaks down in tears tonight as he reveals he has no money and is being forced to sell his house.
The disgraced Hollywood actor tells Piers Morgan Uncensored he is on the brink of bankruptcy after paying millions in legal fees fighting a high-profile sex abuse lawsuit.
In the impressive interview, which airs on YouTube at 8 p.m., Spacey, 64, reveals that his Baltimore home is being put up for auction because he can no longer afford to pay the bills.
When asked where he lives now, he says, “So the answer to that question is, I’m not entirely sure where I’m going to live now, but I’ve been living in Baltimore since we started shooting House of Cards there.”
He has twice avoided bankruptcy since being cut by Hollywood after allegations of sexual misconduct were made against the double Oscar winner in 2017.

Streaming giant Netflix also dropped Spacey for breach of contract. He was ordered by an arbitrator in 2021 to pay nearly $31 million to the studio that made the hit Netflix show House of Cards.
But in February he reached a settlement with Media Rights Capital (MRC) to pay $1 million.
And Spacey reveals in the interview with Mr Morgan that he is now virtually out of money and owes ‘many millions’.
“Well, I mean, you have some sense of legal bills,” he says. “I still have a lot of legal bills that I haven’t been able to pay.”
Spacey was one of the most famous faces in Hollywood until allegations of sexual misconduct were made.
In July last year, Spacey stood trial at Southwark Crown Court on nine charges of sexual offenses in a case involving four men. He vehemently denied their claims and the jury acquitted him of all charges.

Spacey said he was “humiliated” after being acquitted of sexual assault in a high-profile trial in which Sir Elton John gave evidence in his defence.
He was fired from the Netflix series House of Cards in 2017 after being accused of abusing actor Anthony Rapp when he was 14 and Spacey was 26.
Spacey was found not liable at a civil trial in New York in 2022, with the jury concluding that the event did not take place.
Spacey won two Academy Awards as Best Supporting Actor for The Usual Suspects in 1996 and Best Actor in 2000 for American Beauty, which also earned him a Bafta for Lead Actor.
Last month he emotionally vowed he will ‘not give up acting’ after fresh allegations were made against him in a Channel 4 bombshell documentary.
The star accused the broadcaster of ‘having an agenda’ when he decided to go ahead with airing his two-part film Spacey Unmasked.
The documentary featured previously unheard testimony about the actor’s alleged inappropriate behavior.
Spacey appeared close to tears and his voice began to break during an emotional interview this week as he defiantly vowed not to give up on a return to Hollywood.
