\n\tKevin Spacey<\/a> will face civil claims of sexual assault from three men at the High Court in London next October.<\/p>\n

\n\tA British performer named Ruari Cannon, who has waived his right to anonymity, and two other claimants who have not, have alleged Spacey abused them between 2000 and 2015.<\/p>\n

\n\tA judge set the provisional trial date of 12 October 2026 for the cases at a hearing earlier this week. Spacey denies all the allegations.<\/p>\n

\n\tSpacey was cleared of nine sexual offence charges at a criminal trial in 2023. He was also found not liable in a U.S. civil case brought by actor Anthony Rapp, who alleged Spacey molested him when he was 14.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSpacey made headlines last week with an interview with The Telegraph <\/a>newspaper during which he described his financial situation as \u201cnot great,\u201d adding, \u201cI\u2019m living in hotels, I\u2019m living in Airbnbs, I\u2019m going where the work is. I literally have no home, that\u2019s what I\u2019m attempting to explain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe House of Cards alum, who last year appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored to discuss his debts, including the foreclosure of his Baltimore abode<\/a>, said, \u201cThe costs over these last seven years have been astronomical. I\u2019ve had very little coming in and everything going out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpacey likened his predicament to the experiences of actors of yore, who were swept into the Hollywood blacklist as a result of McCarthyism. He cited Kirk Douglas\u2019 willingness to work with screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, then blacklisted, as the type of strategic allyship that could help him right the ship.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSo, my feeling is if Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino call Evan [Lowenstein, Spacey\u2019s manager] tomorrow, it will be over,\u201d he posited. \u201cI will be incredibly honored and delighted when that level of talent picks up the phone. And I believe it\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMost recently, Spacey wrapped production in the U.K.<\/a> on an under-the-radar sci-fi thriller called The Tenth Planet. The project was on sale at this year\u2019s American Film Market.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kevin Spacey will face civil claims of sexual assault from three men at the High Court in London…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":408817,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[171,186651,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-408816","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-kevin-spacey","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115622912126812326","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=408816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408816\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/408817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=408816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=408816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
