Over the holiday weekend, Spacey released a creepy AF video kinda sorta defending himself against the slew of sexual misconduct accusations lodged against him over the past year.
The chilling three-minute video titled Let Me Be Frank, a nod to his character Frank Underwood from Netflix‘s House of Cards, depicts the 59-year-old actor standing in a kitchen wearing a Santa Claus apron.
“I know what you want,” he grumbles. “You trusted me, even though you knew you shouldn’t. So we’re not done, no matter what anyone says. And besides, I know what you want. You want me back.”
The video was uploaded to Spacey’s YouTube channel on Christmas Eve and has already garnered nearly 6.5 million views.

Spacey continues:
You wouldn’t believe the worst without evidence would you? You wouldn’t rush to judgments without facts, would you? Would you? Did you? No, not you. You’re smarter than that. Anyway, all this presumption made for such an unsatisfying ending, and to think it could have been such a memorable sendoff.
Things get even creepier, when Spacey later says: “Despite all the poppycock, the animosity, the headlines, the impeachment without a trial, despite even my own death, I feel surprisingly good.”
“My confidence grows each day that soon enough, you will know the full truth. Wait a minute, now that I think of it, you never actually saw me die, did you? Conclusions can be so deceiving.”
The creepy AF video ends with a burst of cheesy cliffhanger music and was released just days after Spacey was slapped with a felony charge of sexual assault in Massachusetts.
Heather Unruh, a former Boston TV anchor, has accused Spacey of sexually assaulting her son in Nantucket in 2016, saying the actor supplied her 18-year-old with alcohol before forcing himself upon the minor.
The Boston Globe reports:
Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O’Keefe said Monday that Spacey, 59, was scheduled to be arraigned on a charge of indecent assault and battery at Nantucket District Court on Jan. 7, after a Dec. 20 public show-cause hearing where clerk magistrate Ryan Kearney issued a criminal complaint. O’Keefe, who spoke by phone and read from a statement, declined to comment further.
Spacey also remains under investigation on suspicion of sexual assault in Los Angeles for another alleged incident that occurred in 2016.

This is his attempt to salvage his career? Also, you release it when you’re about to be charged?
Stuff like this shows how tone deaf, delusional, inconsiderate, malicious and just batsh*t crazy you can become when you’ve been enabled by a corrupt institution for so long.

The video isn’t unusual. He’s an actor. Most actors are a little off no matter how much you choose to worship them. The more talented the person is as an actor, the more off they are personally. And I’m sorry, that’s rich, a gay person criticizing Kevin Spacey is a bit hypocritical. Most of the gays I’ve encountered behave just like him. They crudely dart obscene words towards you, they grab you without asking, they come onto you without asking, and much much more. I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that the gays that have a problem with Kevin Spacey, don’t know what that’s like. In my world, it’s a daily thing. Kevin Spacey is no different than the gays that have done the exact same thing to me on a regular basis. I just say no, not interested and that’s that. If Kevin Spacey raped someone, that’s another story. But all of his whiny accusers are just looking for their 20 minutes of fame. What they encountered with him, I’ve encountered with gay men on a regular basis my entire life to date. I never made a big deal about it. Just said I wasn’t interested and they backed off.

I have to agree. All this pearl clutching is exhausting.

You should sue them all!

Well, he was flat-out accused of assaulting a couple people, randomly revealing his privates to quite few unsuspecting people, continuously trying to bribe people for sexual favors who claim to have persistently turned him down, basically stalking a dude for a week, trying to sleep with 14 and 15 year olds, etc. Sometimes the outrage police are a bit much, but this is about basic level respect for other people, which Spacey lacks. It may be typical of Hollywood, but do you want change or not?

I thought it was cool. Probably not legally smart under the circumstances, but I like defiant middle fingers that get everyone spluttering and squawking, which this is doing. If he’d posted a humbly scraping apology, would that have fixed anything for him? No, we’d all gloat over his humiliation, he’d still be facing charges and still not have a career. So all y’all go jump off a nice big bridge somewhere.

He’s been defamed and has the right of reply, which he’s used. I’d do the same
