Actor Kevin Spacey has made the startling claim that he is now effectively homeless, eight years after a series of sexual assault allegations led to the collapse of his high-profile career.
From Hollywood Heights to Hotel Rooms
The two-time Oscar winner stated that he has been living out of hotels after losing his home. Spacey attributed this loss to astronomical costs over the past seven years, coupled with a dramatic drop in his income.
His fall from grace began in 2017 when multiple allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced, leading to his effective exile from mainstream Hollywood. Spacey has consistently denied all allegations made against him.
Legal Battles and Acquittals
Despite the professional consequences, Spacey has been legally vindicated in court. In 2022, he was acquitted of all charges in a US court. This was followed by another legal victory in 2023, when a UK court cleared him of nine sexual assault offences.
These court decisions, however, have not been enough to restore his standing in the entertainment industry. Spacey believes he remains blacklisted by Hollywood despite the legal outcomes.
Attempting a Career Comeback
Not ready to retire from the spotlight, the actor is actively attempting a career resurgence. His efforts include performing in a cabaret show and taking roles in smaller, independent film projects.
This new chapter stands in stark contrast to his previous life as one of Hollywood's most celebrated actors, a status he held before the scandal irrevocably changed his professional and personal circumstances.
