In a tearful and candid interview with Piers Morgan on his show Uncensored, actor Kevin Spacey confessed to past inappropriate behavior and shed light on his current financial struggles. The 64-year-old House of Cards star discussed the repercussions of his actions, as well as the imminent foreclosure of his Baltimore home due to mounting debts.

Spacey emotionally admitted to his past behavior, describing it as "being too handsy" and "touching someone sexually in a way that I didn't know at the time they didn't want." The actor has been grappling with the consequences of this misconduct, resulting in his self-imposed exile from Hollywood.

The interview took a drastic turn when Spacey revealed that his Baltimore residence is being foreclosed on and will soon go up for auction. Distraught over the situation, he expressed uncertainty about where he would live next, stating, "I have to go back to Baltimore and put all my things in storage. I'm not quite sure where I'm going to live now."

Pressed on the reasons behind the foreclosure, Spacey openly admitted, "Because I can't pay the bills that I owe." However, he clarified that he had narrowly avoided bankruptcy in the past, though his financial situation remains precarious. Legal bills loom large, with the actor owing "considerable" amounts, which he described as "many millions."

The interview came in the wake of the controversial Channel 4 documentary Spacey Unmasked, which brought forth fresh allegations against the American Beauty star. Piers Morgan referred to Spacey as "one of Hollywood's biggest villains both on and off-screen," promising a discussion on the sexual assault claims against him.

Although Spacey was acquitted of sexual offenses in a UK trial last year, where four men accused him of misconduct spanning over a decade, the allegations continue to haunt him. His accusers described him as a "vile sexual predator" and "disgusting."

Morgan also hinted at other scandals surrounding Spacey, including his connections to Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew. The actor's appearance on the show has evoked mixed reactions, with some praising his talent while others question the decision to feature him.

Netflix severed ties with Spacey when the sexual misconduct allegations first emerged in 2017. The actor Anthony Rapp, whose claims were dismissed by a New York jury in 2022, was the first to come forward, accusing Spacey of attempting to seduce him when he was just 14.

While Channel 4 defended its documentary Spacey Unmasked, stating its aim to shed light on power imbalances and inappropriate behavior in the workplace, Spacey dismissed it as a one-sided attempt for ratings by a "dying network."

As Spacey navigates these challenging circumstances, prominent figures such as Sharon Stone, Stephen Fry, and Liam Neeson have expressed support for his return to Hollywood, praising his talent and charisma. However, the actor's path to redemption remains uncertain as he confronts his past and deals with the consequences of his actions.

As the interview concluded, Spacey's tearful revelations and personal struggles paint a somber picture of a once-renowned actor facing both professional and financial turmoil.
