The release of a two-part docuseries about Kevin Spacey has prompted the actor to respond. ‘Spacey Unmasked,’ which chronicles Spacey’s life from childhood to his successful career, is set to air on Channel 4. The documentary will also delve into Spacey’s sexual misconduct allegations and subsequent acquittal. Spacey has been given the right to reply to remarks made in the upcoming documentary. In a statement, he said he had “repeatedly requested that Channel 4 afford me more than seven days to respond made against me dating back 48 years.”
Spacey went on to claim that Channel 4 had “refused on the basis that they feel that asking for a response in seven days to new, anonymised, and non-specific allegations is a ‘fair opportunity’ for me to refute any allegations made against me.” He also indicated that he would not allow the “one-sided ‘documentary’ about me in their desperate attempt for ratings” to go unchallenged. “Each time I have been given the time and a proper forum to defend myself, the allegations have failed under scrutiny, and I have been exonerated,” he added.
While most of the individuals interviewed in the documentary have not publicly spoken about their experiences with Spacey, the show promises to feature “never-seen-before interviews and archive” footage, according to Variety. The network continued to stand by its programming, saying in a response to the actor’s statement that Spacey had “been given sufficient opportunity to respond.” ‘Spacey Unmasked’ is set to debut on May 6 and 7 on Channel 4
