Kevin Spacey denies claims he is homeless
American actor Kevin Spacey refuted claims that he is homeless after reports surfaced that he’s been living in hotels and Airbnbs.
In an Instagram post, the House of Cards star said that he felt the need to respond not to the press but to the people who reached out and offered him a place to stay.
"And to all of you, let me first say that I am truly touched by your generosity, full stop," he said. "But I feel it would be disingenuous of me to allow you to believe that I am indeed homeless in the colloquial sense."
In a one-on-one interview with journalist Mick Brown for The Telegraph, Spacey shared that he was living in hotels and Airbnbs. "I'm going where the work is. I literally have no home, that's what I'm attempting to explain," he said in the interview as he talked about how he was holding up financially.
"I’ve been working nearly nonstop this entire year and, for that, I have so much to be grateful for," the 66-year-old actor said in his Nov. 24 reel.
"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."
He also said it was a shame The Telegraph used a "knowingly misleading" headline for “the sake of clicks.”
“It was clear from the article itself that I am not one of them, nor was I trying to say that I was [homeless]," he said.
In 2017, the Hollywood actor faced sexual abuse accusations that led to his removal from the TV drama House of Cards. In 2023, the London jury acquitted Spacey of all sexual offense charges.
