Quote:It looks like more people were watching Kevin Spacey’s truly bizarre monologue than the Queen’s speech on Christmas Day. Ooh, festive. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the video racked up 4.5million views in 24 hours on Monday night as we heard from the House of Cards actor for the first time in over a year. Spacey appeared to indirectly respond to felony charges, announced the same day in the US, for allegedly sexually assaulting a teenager, even though he never directly addressed the allegation
Quote:Girl, no, not again. That seems to be Twitter's collective response to Kevin Spacey, who broke his silence since he attempted to respond to allegations in October 2017 of sexual assault by the actor Anthony Rapp, who was 14 when the incident took place, with his own, badly misconceived coming-out narrative. On Monday, he appears to have made another spectacular PR mistake, on Christmas Eve no less, when he posted a video to YouTube (embedded at bottom), titled "Let Me Be Frank." In the video, he affects the Southern accent of Frank Underwood, the House of Cards character who was unceremoniously booted by the show after eight HoC employees also brought forth allegations of sexual misconduct against the actor. Wearing a Santa apron in amateurish home video lighting (Netflix has already clarified they were definitely not involved), Spacey talks directly to camera as he does on the show, speaking dialogue that the actor, a Shakespeare devotee, probably thinks is full of wit and double entendre—"Isn't it just so brilliant that you can't tell if I'm talking about my own narrative or Frank Underwood's storyline?"—but actually comes off as deeply threatening, sinister, accusatory, and not at all clever. Moreover, it is incredibly ill-timed, coming on the heels of the news that he will face felony charges for allegedly sexually assaulting the teenage son of former Boston WCVB-TV news anchor Heather Unruh at a Nantucket bar in July 2016.
