In a nearly two-hour video interview posted on social media, actor Kevin Spacey addressed the new accusations against him ahead of the premiere of the British documentary, "Spacey Unmasked." The two-part documentary, set to air in the UK next week, features testimonies from 10 men, nine of whom have never spoken publicly before, making allegations ranging from sexual harassment to inappropriate behavior.

After declining to comment to the producers of "Spacey Unmasked," Spacey chose to respond to the allegations in a lengthy interview with British reporter Dan Wootton. In the interview, Spacey took responsibility for his past behaviors and actions, stating, "I take full responsibility. But I cannot and will not take responsibility or apologize to anyone who's made up stuff about me or exaggerated stories about me."

Spacey explained his decision to not respond to the documentary's producers, citing a lack of anonymity for the accusers and the unfair game he believes they are playing. He dismissed the majority of the new allegations, referring to them as "utter nonsense," including a claim that he prevented someone from leaving a room.

When asked about the impact of the allegations and subsequent court battles, Spacey revealed the substantial losses he has faced. "Everything. I lost my jobs, I lost my house. I have one foot in bankruptcy. Everything," he said. Expressing his frustration, Spacey noted that he has not been provided with a path back in Hollywood and feels as though he has been permanently canceled without any opportunity for redemption.

"Spacey Unmasked" is set to air on Channel 4 in the UK on May 6th and 7th, with plans for a later release on Warner Bros.' streaming service, Max, in the US. Last week, Spacey issued a statement expressing his excitement about starring in his first film with Warner Bros. in years and hoping that the Academy would recognize the performances of the lesser-known cast.

The premiere of "Spacey Unmasked" and Spacey's response to the allegations are likely to stir further discussion and controversy surrounding the actor's past behavior. With the documentary set to shed new light on the accusations made against him, the public's perception of Kevin Spacey may undergo additional scrutiny as the story unfolds.
