Shunned actor Kevin Spacey has admitted in an interview with Piers Morgan that he flew on an airplane owned by the financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In the interview the actor tearfully discussed his financial struggles, which he claimed had been caused by mounting legal fees following multiple sexual assault allegations.
Spacey insisted that he had no relationship with Epstein, and that he did not know at the time who he was or that he was flying on one of his planes. He also denied having known Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell despite being in the same room with her, and claimed that he traveled with the Clinton Foundation.
Commentators Pat Gray and Jeff Fisher dismissed the claims in Gray’s podcast; Jeff joked that being associated with the Clintons was “not much better” and Gray called Spacey’s claim that he knew neither Epstein nor Maxwell despite traveling on a plane with them “garbage”.
Though many public figures named in the Epstein files were only distantly connected or mentioned in conversation with the financier, former President Bill Clinton is among those named in more serious allegations. As documents unsealed in January 2024 revealed, witness Sarah Ransome claimed that the sex offender had kept sex tapes of Clinton as well as Prince Andrew and Richard Branson.
Spacey prompted further controversy when he came out as gay in response to the allegations. After being blacklisted by much of Hollywood, Spacey was acquitted in 2023 of sexually assaulting four men. Despite the verdict, the actor has since admitted to Morgan that he was “too handsy” in the past. Liam Neeson, Stephen Fry and Sharon Stone are among those calling for Spacey’s return to the screen following his acquittal.
In response to the allegations, the actor was sacked from his role on the House of Cards TV series after six seasons of the show, and edited out of the movie All the Money in the World. His replacement Christopher Plummer had to reshoot his scenes at the last minute. Spacey is famous for his roles in American Beauty, LA Confidential, the Usual Suspects and Se7en. His performance in American Beauty won him an Academy Award for best actor in 2000.
NPR has earned itself a reputation as a far-left outlet decades ago, but it wasn’t until veteran editor Uri Berliner penned an expose in The Free Press last week that we got a first-hand account on just how bad things really were.
As you’d expect from fake news, NPR suspended him without pay for daring to criticize them. Rather than even attempt to debunk his reporting, they further confirmed their political bias, instead blaming Berliner for giving the political right some ammunition against them.
He’s since resigned – but all eyes are now on NPR CEO Katherine Maher, and some of her resurfaced tweets prove that the hackery at NPR isn’t going away any time soon.
Back during the George Floyd riots of 2020, which killed dozens and caused billions in property damage, Maher was furious that the media would dare report on it. “CNN is talking about the tragedy of damage to iconic retail zones and shoe stores in LA,” Maher complained. “I mean, sure, looting is counterproductive. But it’s hard to be mad about protests not prioritizing the private property of a system of oppression founded on treating people’s ancestors as private property.”
She continued; “Also, reporting on extinguished shoe store fires is just lazy reporting…. (Also to be clear, I am not conflating provocateurs with protestors. Instead, saying this should not be the thing anyone sheds tears over. Cheesecakes are insured; the right to be black and breathe is without measure.)”
Naturally, sane people took issue with her commentary.
And as you’ll read in future articles on Maher, this somehow isn’t even her craziest stance!
