AceShowbiz - Kevin Spacey has broken his silence on "Spacey Unmasked", an upcoming docuseries about him. Making use of his X account, the "House of Cards" alum fired back at the two-part docuseries that will explore his life.
"Over last week, I have repeatedly requested that @Channel4 afford me more than 7 days to respond to allegations made against me dating back 48 years and provide me with sufficient details to investigate these matters," wrote the actor on Thursday, May 2. "Channel 4 has refused on the basis that they feel that asking for a response in 7 days to new, anonymized and non-specific allegations is a 'fair opportunity' for me to refute any allegations made against me."
Spacey went on to say, "I will not sit back and be attacked by a dying network's one-sided 'documentary' about me in their desperate attempt for ratings. There's a proper channel to handle allegations against me and it's not Channel 4."
"Each time I have been given the time and a proper forum to defend myself, the allegations have failed under scrutiny and I have been exonerated. Tune in this weekend to see my response on https://X.com/kevinspacey," he added, before concluding, "Channel 4 and @RoastBeefTV may find themselves 'speechless', but I no longer will be."
"Spacey Unmasked" is set to feature "never-seen-before interviews and archive." It will also examine the actor's life "from childhood to early success on Broadway and subsequent meteoric rise to stardom."
Its official description reads, "In 2023 Spacey was acquitted of sexual offenses against four men in a U.K. trial. This two-part series will investigate Spacey's conduct and talks to multiple men unconnected to that case about their experiences with Kevin Spacey, almost all of whom have never spoken before."
The docuseries will air in the U.K. on Channel 4 on May 6 and 7. It's also been acquired by Max for the U.S.
