Kevin Spacey Wife; Is Kevin Spacey Gay? Has Kevin Spacey got a wife?

Kevin Spacey Wife; Is Kevin Spacey Gay? Has Kevin Spacey got a wife?

Kevin Spacey, a notoriously protective actor, came out as gay  after actor Anthony Rapp accused him of inappropriate sexual advances when he was 14 years old. Rapp alleged that Spacey invited him to his Manhattan apartment for a party in 1986, where they were both starring in hit Broadway plays at the time. After the party ended, Spacey came into the room, picked him up, and laid “down on top of me” – he was trying to seduce him.

Spacey issued a statement late Sunday saying he doesn’t remember the alleged incident and apologizing for “what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior.” He announced, “I choose now to live as a gay man.” High-profile LGBTQ actors like Wanda Sykes and Billy Eichner criticized the statement, with GLAAD cautioning that Spacey coming out should not “deflect” from Rapp’s allegation.

Spacey has always maintained a separation between his professional and personal life, and this decision came as a departure for the actor, who has a long refused to comment on his private life and spoken out against the media for making assumptions about his sexuality. In 1997, Esquire published an article titled “Kevin Spacey Has a Secret,” which focused on rumors that the actor was gay. Spacey’s publicist at the time said that the actor “categorically refutes the statement made in the current issue of Esquire magazine, which implies that he personally ‘came out last spring’ while playing Jim Williams in the film Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.”

Two years later, in 1999, Spacey was asked directly if he was gay, which the actor denied. He chose for a long time not to answer these questions because of the manner in which they were asked, and because he was never talking to someone I trusted. Recently, he chose to participate because it was a little hard on the people I love.

Almost a decade later, the actor opened up about his right to a private life, telling Gotham magazine in 2007, “I’ve never believed in pumping my personal life out for publicity. Although I might be interested in doing it, I will never do it. People can gossip all they want; they can speculate all the want. I just happened to believe that there’s a separation between the public life and the private life. Everybody has the right to a private life no matter what their professions are.”

In 2014, the year after Spacey’s hit Netflix show House of Cards premiered, the actor briefly spoke about his personal life, telling The Hollywood Reporter, “Let’s let people live their lives and do it the way they want to do it.” In 2017, when the actor hosted the Tony awards, he poked fun at the speculation over his sexuality during a musical number when he dressed as Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard, singing, “I’m coming out — wait, no no no no.”

However, the timing and wording of Sunday’s announcement is no laughing matter to peers like actor Zachary Quinto, who tweeted, “it is deeply sad and troubling that this is how Kevin Spacey has chosen to come out. Not by standing up as a point of pride in the light of his many awards and accomplishments, but as a calculated manipulation to deflect attention from the very serious accusation that he attempted to molest one.”
