Kevin Spacey was seen breaking down in tears while talking about having to sell his Baltimore home because he “can’t pay the bills” that have stacked up. In a recent interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan, Spacey claimed that he has been facing financial woes because of the several legal bills for the criminal charges have have piled up, stepping from sexual assault allegations against him.
“This week where I have been living in Baltimore is being foreclosed on, my house is being sold at auction,” an emotional Spacey said during the interview. “So I have to go back to Baltimore and put all my things in storage. I’m not quite sure where I’m going to live now. I’ve been in Baltimore since we started shooting ‘House of Cards’ there.” When Morgan asked him why his home was being foreclosed, Spacey said, “Because I can’t pay the bills that I owe.” On being asked if he was facing bankruptcy, Spacey said that although he had come close, he managed to “dodge” it a few times. When Morgan asked him how much money he had now, Spacey replied, “None.”

Kevin Spacey returns to big screen as hitman in Peter Five
The trailer of director Michael Zaiko Hall’s Peter Five Eight, starring Kevin Spacey, Rebecca De Mornay, Jet Jandreau and Jake Webber, was released on Tuesday. The film marks a comeback for Kevin, who was cleared in a UK court in July last year for sexually assaulting four men. The trailer sees him play a hitman in his comeback role.In the trailer, Kevin s character Peter can be seen disposing of a body, holding a woman at knifepoint and referring to himself as a ‘fallen soul.’ The trailer reveals that he infiltrates a small town at the behest of his boss to murder a real estate agent with a dark secret. He’s also shown to be spending the night with Rebbeca’s Brenda in a brief, raunchy scene. He later clicks photographs of her with Jet’s Sam. But things turn sinister when a mystery man calls Peter and asks him to ‘make it messy.’ It also shows how Sam is also involved in something shady. The film’s tagline, which DailyMail reports had a budget of $5-10 million, reads “In this town, nothing is what it seems.” Director Michael also told the publication, “Rebecca De Mornay, Jake Weber and Jet Jandreau all play wonderfully in this world – while Kevin Spacey has crafted a unique and memorable character for his fans to enjoy.” The film is slated to release on March 22. Kevin rose to fame for his roles in films like American Beauty and shows like House of Cards. However, in 2017, he was accused of abusing his fame and power to carry out nine assaults on four men. Kevin denied the allegations, insisting that the claims were for ‘money.’ In July 2023, he was cleared of the charges in the UK. He was sacked from House of Cards when the allegations first surfaced and was edited out of Ridley Scott’s film All The Money In The World.

Kevin Spacey cleared of sexual assault charges
Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey has been cleared of all charges after a four-week trial in London on claims of sexual assault. The Hollywood star, 64, had tears in his eyes as the jury at Southwark Crown Court found him not guilty of seven counts of sexual assault and two counts of other serious sexual offenses.
The allegations covered a period between 2004 and 2013, when Spacey served as artistic director at the Old Vic theater in the British capital. He pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
Spacey thanked the jury after it cleared him following 12 hours and 26 minutes of deliberation across three days. Today also marks his 64th birthday. In a brief statement to reporters outside the court shortly after the verdict, Spacey said he was “humbled.” “I imagine that many of you can understand that there’s a lot for me to process after what has just happened today. But I would like to say that I’m enormously grateful to the jury for having taken the time to examine all of the evidence and all of the facts carefully, before they reached their decision. And I am humbled by the outcome today,” he said.
