Kevin Spacey is trying to rebound seven years after his sexual misconduct scandal.
The Horrible Bosses star sat down for an interview with The Telegraph this week and revealed he’s homeless after being accused of a mountain of sexual assault:
“I’m living in hotels, I’m living in Airbnbs, I’m going where the work is. I literally have no home, that’s what I’m attempting to explain.”
His version of homeless sounds a LOT different than the reality many others face who are actually experiencing homelessness. He still has the luxury of sleeping in a warm bed every night… He just has no home base at the moment.

The two-time Oscar winner’s reputation went up in flames in 2017 when Star Trek: Discovery star Anthony Rapp accused him of sexual misconduct stemming from a 1986 incident when he was 14 and Kevin was 26. After that, the floodgates opened and numerous other allegations came pouring in, culminating in Rapp filing a civil lawsuit in 2020. Two years later, Kevin was found not liable, and in 2023, he was acquitted of nine other charges stemming from 2001 to 2013 in a UK criminal trial.
During his interview with The Telegraph, the Superman Returns actor described his financial situation as “not great,” but clarified it “never got to” the point of bankruptcy. Seemingly referencing his legal fees, he pointed out his “costs over these last seven years have been astronomical. I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out.”
But despite being canceled by mainstream media, the House of Cards star revealed he’s pushing forward:
“You get through it.”
He added:
“In weird ways, I feel I’m back to where I first started, which is I just went where the work was.”
As for all of the 66-year-old’s belongings, he claimed:
“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.”
He also claimed he’s “in touch with some extremely powerful people who want to put me back to work,” and that it “will happen in its right time.”
In May 2024, Kevin issued the following statement:
“I take full responsibility for my past behavior and my actions, but I cannot and will not take responsibility or apologize to anyone who’s made up stuff about me or exaggerated stories about me. I’ve never told someone that if they give me sexual favors, then I will help them out with their career, never.”
