Once one of Hollywood’s most celebrated actors, Kevin Spacey has revealed that he is now homeless — living out of his car and struggling to rebuild his life seven years after the sexual assault allegations that ended his career. In a raw and emotional interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored, the 65-year-old two-time Oscar winner said, “I lost my home, my reputation, my friends — everything. I don’t have anything left.”
The stunning admission came as Spacey broke years of silence about his financial and emotional collapse following the series of sexual misconduct claims that derailed his career in 2017. Once earning tens of millions a year from projects like House of Cards and American Beauty, Spacey said the fallout left him “completely bankrupt, emotionally and financially.”
“My house was foreclosed on last month,” he revealed, pausing as his voice cracked. “I couldn’t keep up with legal bills. I don’t have a permanent place to live. Some nights, I sleep in my car.”

Spacey told Morgan he had tried to keep working behind the scenes, but found himself effectively blacklisted in Hollywood. “Every time I thought I could start over, another headline came out,” he said. “It didn’t matter that I was acquitted — the damage was already done.”
Last year, a jury in London cleared Spacey of nine sexual assault charges, following a highly publicized trial. But the verdict, while legally exonerating, didn’t restore his career. “People think if you’re found not guilty, your life goes back to normal. It doesn’t,” he said in the interview. “There’s no going back from being canceled.”
According to BBC News, Spacey’s former $12 million Maryland estate was seized by the bank earlier this spring. Satellite photos show the once-luxurious Tudor-style home now boarded up and abandoned. “I tried to sell it before foreclosure,” he said. “But nobody would touch a house with my name attached.”
When asked by Morgan if he still considers himself a broken man, Spacey replied quietly, “No, not broken. Just lost.”

He went on to describe the “relentless isolation” he’s faced since the allegations first surfaced. “People I worked with for decades stopped calling. Agents, directors, even friends. They were afraid of being associated with me. It’s like I died, and everyone just moved on.”
On X (formerly Twitter), reactions to the interview were polarized. Some users expressed sympathy for the fallen actor, calling his story “tragic,” while others said his downfall was self-inflicted. One tweet read, “You can feel sorry for him and still remember why he’s here.” Another wrote, “Cancel culture doesn’t just end careers — it ends people.”
Spacey admitted he’s been living off small savings, occasional help from old colleagues, and what he called “the kindness of strangers.” “I’ve had people who still believe in me — they’ve let me sleep on their couches, helped me eat. It’s humbling. Fame disappears overnight, but kindness doesn’t.”

Spacey also addressed the impact on his mental health, revealing that he’s struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts. “There were times I didn’t think I’d make it through another day,” he said. “When the world turns on you, it’s like drowning in noise. The only thing that saves you is silence — and I found that in solitude.”
Despite his circumstances, Spacey insists he isn’t finished. “I’m still an actor. That’s who I am,” he said. “I’m not asking to be forgiven — I’m asking to work again. Let me tell stories. That’s all I ever wanted to do.”
Entertainment journalist Lydia Harper told reporters the interview marked “a stunning, almost Shakespearean confession” from one of Hollywood’s most enigmatic figures. “Whether you believe him or not,” she said, “there’s no denying the human tragedy here — a man who once stood on Oscar stages, now sleeping in a car.”

Fans online have been divided. Some insist Spacey deserves a second chance, pointing to his acquittals, while others argue that the damage caused by his alleged actions is irreparable. One comment under the interview summed up the public mood: “You can’t undo what was done — but you can’t unsee his pain either.”
Since the scandal, Spacey has occasionally resurfaced online, posting cryptic monologues and short performances on YouTube. Each appearance has reignited both fascination and fury. But in this latest revelation, even his critics admit it’s hard not to feel something. “He’s not begging,” wrote one viewer. “He’s just surviving.”
When asked if he sees a future where Hollywood takes him back, Spacey sighed. “I don’t know if the world is ready to forgive me,” he said. “But I’m still here. That has to count for something.”
In the final moments of the interview, Morgan asked what keeps him going. Spacey looked away for a long time before answering: “Hope. And the belief that even fallen people can stand again.”
