Kevin Spacey lashes out at docuseries highlighting new abuse allegations

The docuseries 'Spacey Unmasked' will see 10 men detail new allegations of sexual abuse by actor Kevin Spacey, spanning several decades.

Kevin Spacey is publicly lashing out at a new docuseries that will detail allegations of decades of sexual abuse by the once-acclaimed actor.

The U.K.’s Channel 4 is producing the two-part series, titled Spacey Unmasked, which will premiere in early May.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series will deliver a “forensic look” at Spacey’s leap to stardom and the allegations of sexual abuse that subsequently befell his career. Spacey Unmasked will feature several never-before-seen interviews from Spacey’s accusers, most of whom have yet to speak publicly.

In a lengthy post to X (formerly Twitter), Spacey, 64, called the docuseries “one-sided” and a “desperate attempt for ratings.”

Spacey said Channel 4 has given him seven days to respond to “allegations made against me dating back 48 years.”

The House of Cards actor bemoaned the deadline and said Channel 4 refused to accommodate his request for more time and to provide him with the “sufficient details” needed to investigate the allegations made against him.

“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 wrote. “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,” he continued, referring to official legal channels. “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.”
