Kevin Spacey Denies Targeting Guy Pearce on Set

Kevin Spacey has publicly responded to Guy Pearce's recent allegations regarding inappropriate behavior on the set of 'L.A. Confidential' in 1997. Pearce claimed that he felt targeted by Spacey, stating that he only felt safe on set when co-star Simon Baker was present, and reflected on the emotional impact of the #MeToo movement on his experiences. In a video response, Spacey dismissed Pearce's claims, telling him to 'grow up' and suggesting that Pearce's narrative does not account for their past friendship, including a visit Pearce made to him in Georgia after filming. Spacey acknowledged that he may have acted inappropriately but denied any illegal behavior, urging Pearce to have addressed his concerns directly rather than going public. The exchange has reignited discussions about the culture of Hollywood and the implications of past behaviors amid the ongoing conversation about consent and victimhood. Spacey, previously cleared of sexual misconduct allegations in two separate cases, continues to face scrutiny over his past actions.
