Kevin Spacey reacts to Guy Pearce claims: 'Grow up—you're not a victim'

“You really wanna know what my response is? Grow up," Spacey says in the video, posted to X. "Did you also, by the way, tell the press that a year after we shot L.A. Confidential you flew to Savannah, Georgia while I was shooting Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil just to spend time with me? Did you tell the press that, too? Or does that not fit into the 'victim' narrative that you have going?"

"I apologize that I didn't get the message that you don't like spending time with me…" Spacey says. "But here you are now, on a mission, some 28 years later, after I've been through hell and back, to do what? Just in time to stop the bad guy, huh? Is that what's going on here?"

"What took you so long?" Spacey asked, saying that if Pearce wants to have a conversation, he's "happy to do so any time any place" and that he has "nothing to hide."

"But Guy, you need to grow up," Spacey closed out. "You are not a victim."

During his aforementioned interview with ​The Hollywood Reporter​, Pearce said that he initially brushed off the "uncomfortable" behavior because he didn't feel like it was severe enough, but now realizes "I probably was a victim to a degree; I was certainly not a victim by any means to the extent that other people have been to sexual predators."

Pearce said that he brushed off Spacey's alleged advances and would think, "Ah, that's nothing. Ah, noo, that's nothing."

"I did that for five months, and really I was sort of scared of Kevin because he's quite an aggressive man," Pearce added. "He's extremely charming and brilliant at what he does – really impressive, etc. He holds a room remarkably. But I was young and susceptible, and he targeted me, no question."

Spacey was also sued by actor Anthony Rapp, who accused him of sexual assault when Rapp was just 14, but was found not liable. He was also accused by several men at the Old Vic Theatre in London of inappropriate sexual behavior but was also not found guilty.
