Former House of Cards star Kevin Spacey speaks out for first time since ‘painful’ sexual assault allegations

FALLEN film star Kevin Spacey has spoken out for the first since being accused of sex assaults.

In a seven-minute video, the 60-year-old tells of his “bleak and horrible” time and his “painful” journey since he was accused by a string of men in 2017.

He was dropped from hit show House of Cards, replaced in a completed movie and has not performed since.

In the film for a German business conference, Spacey asks: “If I can’t act, who am I?”

US cases against him were dropped.
