In a recent interview on X, former Twitter, Kevin Spacey spoke out about the new sexual assault allegations brought to light by U.K.'s Channel 4 in the documentary "Spacey Unmasked". The documentary, set to air next week and stream on Max via an acquisition by ID Network, features nine new victims accusing Spacey of various forms of inappropriate behavior, including sexual harassment on set and disturbing actions during the filming of "Saving Private Ryan".

During the interview, Spacey stated, "I take full responsibility for my past behavior and my actions." However, he also stressed that he cannot apologize to those who have "made up stuff" or exaggerated stories about him.

These fresh allegations come less than a year after a U.K. court found Spacey not guilty of sexually assaulting four men and almost two years after a New York jury found him not liable for molesting actor Anthony Rapp when Rapp was 14 years old and Spacey was 26.

When discussing his tendencies, Spacey admitted to being promiscuous and flirty, acknowledging instances of being annoying and persistent. However, he vehemently denied ever blocking someone's exit from a room or locking a door, stating that he once cried to try to keep somebody in a room but never physically restrained them.

One of the most disturbing allegations revealed in "Spacey Unmasked" revolves around the filming of the 1999 dramedy "The Big Kahuna". An intern claims that Spacey asked for a massage, which is a form of sexual harassment on its own, but the situation quickly escalated into something even more inappropriate. To this accusation, Spacey responded, "Well, I have to say that this guy's story strikes me much more in keeping with something that I might have done... So yeah, I can accept the possibility of this so far."

These revelations have reopened the discussion on sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry, shedding light on the need for continued efforts to create a safe and respectful working environment.

As the documentary "Spacey Unmasked" prepares to make its debut, the public keenly watches to see how the allegations and Spacey's response will impact his career and the broader conversation surrounding accountability for past misconduct.

It is important to note that the provided information addresses the allegations made by the documentary and Spacey's response during the interview.
