Kevin Spacey broke his silence and spoke to a crowd for the first time since his #MeToo accusations of sexual assault back in 2017, comparing him losing his job and his ability to act to people who are out of work as a result of the coronavirus.
Spacey spoke as part of a German business conference called Bits & Pretzels, giving a roughly 10-minute speech that was streamed virtually from his home. In it he explained that while he usually doesn’t like to tell people he can relate to their situation, he said in this instance, “I can relate to what it feels like to have your world suddenly stop.”
“I don’t think it will come as a surprise for anyone that my world completely changed in the fall of 2017. My job, my relationships and my standing in my own industry were gone in just a matter of hours,” Spacey said.

Kevin Spacey and the estate of an anonymous massage therapist who accused him of sexual assault have filed court papers to dismiss the accuser’s lawsuit against the actor.
The massage therapist, identified in court papers as John Doe, died on Sept. 6. The lawsuit was filed last year, accusing Spacey of forcing to grab his genitals, pulled him in for a forced kiss and refused to allow him to leave the Malibu massage session.
In a filing in federal court in Los Angeles, Sky Alves, the special administrator for John Doe’s estate, and Spacey agreed to the dismissal with prejudice, which means that the case cannot be refiled. (Read it here).
No terms were given to the dismissal, but both sides will bear their own attorneys costs.
