Kevin Spacey implied that he gained assistance from King Charles III, though it’s possible not directly, immediately after his sexual abuse scandal blew up.
The previous “House of Cards” star explained to Piers Morgan on Tuesday about his connection with Charles, 75, who knighted Spacey the 12 months right before the actor’s slide from grace in Hollywood.
Morgan, 59, requested Spacey if Charles arrived at out to him when the sexual assault allegations broke in 2017, and Spacey stated, “No, I haven’t read from him right, no.”
“But by other folks?” Morgan asked.
“That may perhaps be correct,” Spacey said.
Morgan pressed Spacey on if the British monarch sent him a message at the height of the scandal.
“I listened to a information, of course, and I’m really, extremely grateful for that,” Spacey responded.
“A concept of support?” Morgan questioned, which Spacey verified.
When Morgan asked Spacey if the information “meant a lot” to him, the “American Beauty” actor replied, “Yeah, but search, I really do not want to drag him into all this.”
Spacey uncovered that he wrote Charles a letter but hasn’t sent it to him.
In June 2016, Spacey was introduced with an honorary knighthood by then-Prince Charles. The subsequent calendar year, Spacey was banished from Hollywood immediately after allegations of sexual assault had been leveled from the actor as the #MeToo movement began to just take condition.
Spacey was accused of committing sexual intercourse offenses from 4 men among 2004 and 2013, whilst he was serving as artistic director at London’s historic Old Vic theater. He billed with 9 independent counts — which includes sexual assault and resulting in a man or woman to engage in penetrative sexual action.
The Oscar winner was deemed harmless in July 2023 and acquitted of all 9 expenses. He also won a sexual abuse case towards alleged victim and fellow actor Anthony Rapp in 2022.
In addition to talking about King Charles on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Spacey dealt with his alleged connections to Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell, who have equally been connected to the late multimillionaire sexual intercourse offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In 2020, a image emerged from 2002 of Spacey and Maxwell, 62, sitting alongside each and every other in the throne place at Buckingham Palace soon after they ended up allegedly invited there by Andrew, 64.
Having said that, Spacey claimed in the interview that the explanation he went to Buckingham Palace was since he was invited by Monthly bill Clinton after he accompanied the previous president on an eight-day humanitarian journey to Africa.
“We were wandering as a result of, and people today introduced us into the throne room, and I sat down, and a bunch of men and women arrived and sat down upcoming to me, and a bunch of pictures were being taken,” stated Spacey. “Then we went up and we achieved Prince Andrew, I experienced under no circumstances fulfilled him ahead of and have not viewed him since, so that’s the context. Then the President and I went up to Blackpool.”
Spacey mentioned that he had no relationship to Epstein possibly. “I didn’t know him. I have hardly ever put in any time with him. I was with the Clinton Basis individuals, that’s who I was with.”
The “Baby Driver star added: “This Maxwell girl, she was a single of numerous people today to sit down future to me in that throne area. I have no romantic relationship with her. I had no relationship with him. I mean he’s not my pal. I am not a confidant. I have by no means expended time with him. And apparently, I will say this. I was extremely fortunate that President Clinton introduced me to a whole lot of business leaders in London, mainly because he realized I was coming to the Aged Vic… Do you know who I never questioned for something, was Jeffrey Epstein? I didn’t want to be all-around this man mainly because I felt he put the President at chance on that trip to South Africa, mainly because there had been these younger girls. We were being like, ‘Who is this man.’ “
Spacey verified to Morgan that there ended up “young girls” on Epstein’s flights.
“That’s been out, they’ve talked about it,” the actor said. “But here’s my point. There’s a large change involving not remembering that I satisfied some man and some female on a humanitarian vacation wherever my emphasis was solely on what we had been there to do, and not remembering no matter whether I went to somebody’s island.”
“So, I hardly ever went to Jeffrey Epstein’s island. I did not know him and I under no circumstances noticed him or her after that morning at Buckingham Palace. He didn’t even arrive to Buckingham Palace, she was only there.”
Epstein was dominated to have hanged himself in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 soon right after staying arrested for intercourse trafficking. Maxwelll was convicted in 2021 of recruiting and grooming younger gals to be sexually assaulted by Epstein.
Andrew was stripped of all his royal titles by his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, in 2022 right after his association with Epstein was exposed.
On “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Spacey denied that Andrew reached out to him about the Buckingham Palace journey. “I listened to a report about that, but at no time did any individual at any time contact me on his behalf. As I say, I’m not pals with him, I by no means saw him just after that day.”
Spacey also refused to explore Andrew’s sexual abuse scandal. “I don’t know nearly anything about it. I’m not going to communicate about a person else’s scandal. My issue is, that I had enough accusations of my have to offer with, I don’t require to inherit an individual else’s.”
But Spacey did talk to Morgan all about his possess scandal, such as how Elton John and his partner, David Furnish, supported him in and out of the courtroom.
“What’s most appealing about the simple fact that they testified in the trial in the British isles was that I did not ask them… They insisted on it,” Spacey mentioned. “That’s the form of friends that I have been really privileged to have in my existence.”
