Hollywood actor,  Kevin Spacey has said he will ‘not sit back and be attacked’ by a Channel 4 documentary exploring accusations of sexual assault against him.

 

It comes a year after the House Of Cards star, 64, was acquitted of a number of sexual offences alleged by four men between 2001 and 2013, following a trial at Southwark Crown Court.

 

In a trailer for the two-part docuseries, Spacey Unmasked, premiering this month, a narrator says that men ‘go on the record about their experiences with the acclaimed actor’.

 

On Thursday, the American star claimed he had ‘repeatedly requested’ that Channel 4 give him more than seven days to respond to the allegations made about him in their documentary and said the broadcaster refused.


 

On X, he wrote: ‘Over the last week, I have repeatedly requested that @Channel4 afford me more than seven days to respond to allegations made against me dating back 48 years and provide me with sufficient details to investigate these matters.

 

‘Channel 4 has 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.

 

‘I will not sit back and be attacked by a dying network’s one-sided ‘documentary’ about me in their desperate attempt for ratings.

‘There’s a proper channel to handle allegations against me and it’s not Channel 4.

 

‘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.’

 

The American actor then revealed he will be issuing a response this weekend and added that Channel 4 and Roast Beef Productions, which helped produce the show, may find themselves ‘speechless’.
