Since 2017 we’ve been watching two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey’s fall from grace unfold after several men accused the actor of s*xual assault and inappropriate behavior. Although the jury in the US found Spacey not liable in actor Anthony Rapp’s civil suit over the molestation allegation and dismissed the particular lawsuit against him, the actor is still facing ongoing legal battles in London.
However, on a recent note, considering that the US court has cleared Kevin Spacey in Anthony Rapp’s case, Sharon Stone, Liam Neeson, and a few other celebrities began urging for Spacey to be allowed to return to acting. Pleading the industry to uncancel theHouse of Cardsactor, Stone joined Neeson with the likes of Stephen Fry and F. Murray Abraham, in their calls for Spacey’s return.
Sharon Stone, Liam Neeson and Others Plead for Kevin Spacey’s Return
Despite being accused of multiple s*xual assault allegations, Kevin Spacey won ruling in UK trial as the jury dropped all charges of misconduct against four men between 2001 and 2013, viaBBC. Even in the Anthony Rapp civil suit in the US, Spacey was pronounced “not guilty” viaVariety.
Thereafter, several celebrities are now starting to stand in favor of the two-time Oscar winner. Joining Stephen Fry and F. Murray Abraham in support of Spacey, Sharon Stone and Liam Neeson called for the actor’s return to the industry at large, during their discussion withThe Telegraph.
I can’t wait to see Kevin back at work. He is a genius. He is so elegant and fun, generous to a fault, and knows more about our craft than most of us ever will… It’s terrible that they are blaming him for not being able to come to terms with themselves for using him and negotiating with themselves because they didn’t get their secret agendas.Stone stated.
Clarifying her statement,Sharon Stonenoted that aspiring actors have always “wanted and want to be around” Spacey. Corroborating to Stone’s comments,Liam Neesonfurther added being disheartened to learn about the accusations against Kevin Spacey. Further, calling Spacey “one of our finest artists” Neeson noted that the “industry needs him”.
[I] was deeply saddened to learn of these accusations against [him]. Kevin is a good man and a man of character. He’s sensitive, articulate, and non-judgmental, with a terrific sense of humor. He is also one of our finest artists in the theatre and on camera. Personally speaking, our industry needs him and misses him greatly.
F. Murray Abraham personally vouched for Kevin Spacey, stating that “he is a fine man, I stand with him”. Meanwhile, Stephen Fry aimed the documentarySpacey Unmaskedand claimed that it was completely disgraceful to compare “Spacey with the likes of Harvey Weinstein”.
However, while the celebrities stood in favor of Kevin Spacey right after he was found innocent of all the accusations, netizens expressed their outrage. It seems, Stone and Neeson can be compassionate towards the actor, but people aren’t quite forgiving.
OkayyyWait.Are we being PRANKED?!Is Kevin blackmailing these people?!
