Actor Kevin Spacey, known for his role in “American Beauty,” sat down for an interview with Piers Morgan this week.
During the conversation, he became emotional and broke down in tears while discussing the “millions” he owes in legal debt from fighting #MeToo and sexual assault allegations in court.
Spacey’s career took a nosedive into oblivion following a series of explosive allegations in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.
Nearly seven years later, the Academy Award-winning actor came out on top by winning a series of court battles.
His interview with the British broadcaster comes after Spacey’s recent sit-down with Chris Cuomo last month, which was part of a public effort to rebuild his public image.

“This week where I have been living in Baltimore is being foreclosed on, my house is being sold at auction,” Spacey said through tears.
“So 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. I’ve been in Baltimore since we started shooting House of Cards there,” he continued.
Spacey said his home would be foreclosed because he “can’t pay the bills that I owe,” adding that he owes “millions” in legal debt.
“You have some sense of legal bills. I still owe a lot of legal bills that I have not been able to pay,” he said.
During the interview, Spacey addmited to “being too handsy” and “touching someone sexually” without their consent. A new documentary titled “Spacey Unmasked” extensively covered the numerous allegations made against him.
In his efforts to rehabilitate his image, Spacey has received backing from several Hollywood stars including Sharon Stone, Liam Neeson, and Stephen Fry. They have publicly advocated for his return to the spotlight.
“I can’t wait to see Kevin back at work,” Stone told the Telegraph. “He is a genius. He is so elegant and fun, generous to a fault and knows more about our craft than most of us ever will.”
“It’s terrible that they are blaming him for not being able to come to terms with themselves for using him and negotiating with themselves because they didn’t get their secret agendas,” the actress added.
“I was deeply saddened to learn of these accusations against him. Kevin is a good man and a man of character. He’s sensitive, articulate and non-judgmental, with a terrific sense of humor,” Liam Neeson said.
“He is also one of our finest artists in the theatre and on camera,” Neeson added. “Personally speaking, our industry needs him and misses him greatly,” he concluded.
