Kevin Spacey became increasingly irritable and dismissive during his sexual assault trial in a London courtroom as the prosecutor pressed him on allegations of aggressive behavior. The heated exchange occurred when the prosecutor accused Spacey of grabbing a man’s crotch backstage at a charity event, prompting Spacey to vehemently deny the accusation, exclaiming “Absolute bollocks!”
The prosecutor, Christine Agnew, challenged Spacey’s denial and insisted that the man’s accusation was accurate. The tension escalated as Spacey questioned whether the man had accused him of grabbing his genitals. Justice Mark Wall intervened and instructed Spacey to answer the prosecutor’s question.
Spacey maintained his previous testimony, adamantly denying any sexual assault. He referred to one man’s claims as “pure fantasy” and acknowledged engaging in consensual encounters with two other accusers who later expressed regret. Regarding the allegation of crotch-grabbing, Spacey admitted to making a “clumsy pass” during a night of heavy drinking.
Throughout the trial, Spacey displayed moments of irritability and laughter in response to various questions. This trial represents a critical moment for Spacey’s career, as the outcome could potentially impact his ability to make a comeback following the allegations of sexual misconduct that derailed his once-prominent status in the entertainment industry.
