Kevin Spacey Clarifies ‘Rumor’ He Has ‘No Home’ After Sexual Assault Claims

Kevin Spacey is clarifying his headline-making comments that he is currently without a home years after facing sexual assault allegations.

“Hi everyone. I don’t usually make it my business to correct the media. If I did, I wouldn’t have time for much else,” Spacey, 66, alleged in his Sunday, November 23, Instagram video. “But in light of the recent articles claiming I am homeless, I feel the need to respond. Not to the press, but to the thousands of people who have reached out over the past few days offering me a place to stay or have just asked if I’m OK.”

He continued, “To all of you let me first say I’m truly touched by your generosity, full stop. But I feel it would be disingenuous of me to allow you to believe I am indeed homeless in the colloquial sense.”

Spacey explained that the “rumor” began in his recent interview with The Telegraph, where he said he was ”living in hotels and Airbnbs and going where the work is,” similar to his lifestyle when he first started in the entertainment industry.

“I have been working nonstop this entire year and for that I have so much to be grateful for. And there are many people, as we all know, who are indeed actually living on the streets or in their cars or in terrible financial situations and my heart goes out to them. But it is clear from the article itself that I am not one of them, nor was I attempting to say that I was,” he said, claiming that the headline was “misleading.”

He concluded, “But I will now let you go back to your lives. Thank you for paying attention for a few minutes, for indulging me and for all the kindness you have shown me. Thank you. See you soon.”

Spacey captioned the clip, “In gratitude 🙏🏼.”

Days before Spacey’s video, the actor claimed in an interview with the U.K. outlet that he lost his home in Baltimore, Maryland, “because the costs over these last seven years have been astronomical. I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out.”

Spacey noted that his financial situation is “not great.”

“I’m living in hotels, I’m living in Airbnbs, I’m going where the work is,” he said. “I literally have no home, that’s what I’m attempting to explain.”

“You get through it,” he said in the Wednesday, November 19, article. “In weird ways, I feel I’m back to where I first started, which is I just went where the work was. Everything is in storage, and I hope at some point, if things continue to improve, that I’ll be able to decide where I want to settle down again.”

In 2017, Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of making an unwanted sexual advance toward him in 1986. (Rapp was 14 at the time.) Spacey was dropped from Netflix’s House of Cards and other projects.

Five years later, Spacey was found not liable in a $40 million sexual assault lawsuit brought against him by Rapp. In 2023, Spacey was cleared by a jury of all charges in a U.K. sexual assault trial regarding allegations by four men.
