Kevin Spacey says he ‘touched someone sexually’ when they didn’t want him to

Kevin Spacey has admitted to ‘sexually touching someone’ when the person didn’t want to.

The 64-year-old House of Cards actor said he once touched someone in a sexual way when they didn’t consent. However, he said he didn’t know at the time that the person didn’t want that.

Spacey admitted he has been “too handsy” in the past and “pushed the boundaries” during his 90-minute interview with Piers Morgan on the broadcaster’s Uncensored TalkTV show, which aired Tuesday night (June 11).

Spacey was previously accused of sexually assaulting four men between 2001 and 2013, but last year he was found not guilty of all charges. However, he is due to stand trial again due to a lawsuit from another main character who claims Spacey sexually assaulted him.

The actor, who denies all allegations, admitted wrongdoing when Piers asked what ‘bad behaviour’ he had previously committed. Morgan asked the actor, “What do you mean by that? (bad behavior)”.

Spacey responded: “Pushing the boundaries. Being too handsy, touching someone sexually in a way that I didn’t know at the time they didn’t want to.”

Piers responded: “Some people would say that’s criminal, that if you sexually touch people against their will that’s a crime.” Spacey responded, “I agree that the word ‘grope’ is a very strange word.”

He continued: “Personally, I have caressed people, I have been gentle with people, that’s who I am. You’re making an attack on someone, you don’t want to be aggressive. tender.

“You want to see if they’re going to respond positively. I think the word itself is not a word that I associate with my experience.”

Spacey also burst into tears during the interview. The actor became emotional as he spoke about losing his home in Baltimore and owing “many millions” in legal fees.
