Renowned American actor in a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Kevin Spacey, acknowledged his past behavior of being overly physical. Addressing the allegations that halted his career in 2017, the 64-year-old admitted to “pushing the boundaries” inappropriately.
Following a trial in London last year where he was found not guilty of sexual assault charges against four men spanning from 2001 to 2013, and the dismissal of a sexual assault lawsuit in the US in 2022, Spacey is currently involved in a civil trial regarding an allegation from 2008, which he denies.
During the interview on the Piers Morgan Uncensored YouTube channel, Spacey elaborated on his understanding of his past actions. He admitted to being “too handsy,” explaining that it involved touching someone in a sexual manner without realizing they did not want it.
When questioned further about the potential criminal nature of such behavior, Spacey stated that he had always tried to be gentle and responsive to others’ cues. However, he did not use the term “grope” to describe his actions, preferring instead to emphasize being considerate and seeking positive responses.
Regarding consent, Spacey noted that communication was crucial, suggesting that if someone did not want his advances, they should express it clearly. He also acknowledged the power dynamics at play, acknowledging that rejection could potentially affect a young actor’s career.
While Spacey expressed readiness to take accountability for his past actions, labeling them as “bad, bad, bad behavior,” he also asserted that numerous accusations against him were false. Referring to recent allegations in the Channel 4 documentary Spacey Unmasked by actors Ruari Cannon and Danny De Lillo, Spacey vehemently denied their claims, calling them “ridiculous” and “completely offensive.”
Despite the controversies, some Hollywood figures, including Sharon Stone, Stephen Fry, and Liam Neeson, have voiced support for Spacey’s return to acting. However, Spacey’s career has seen significant setbacks, including his dismissal from House of Cards and the reshooting of scenes in All the Money in the World following the initial allegations against him.
Prince Harry has denounced Piers Morgan following the resolution of the remainder of the royal’s lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers.
The prince said the then-Daily Mirror editor “knew perfectly well what was going on” when the royal’s phone was hacked for stories written about him.
The prince’s attorney confirmed that the duke received “substantial” additional damages from MGN, which would also cover legal expenses.
Mirror Group expressed satisfaction with the agreement and aimed to “move forward from events that took place many years ago.”
In December, the prince secured victory in 15 claims during his case, with the High Court determining the “widespread and habitual” use of phone hacking at Mirror newspapers.
The prince was not present in court today, having returned to America this week after visiting his father King Charles following his cancer diagnosis.
Osimhen’s impressive performances last season for Napoli have made him highly sought after in the transfer market.
He played a significant role in Napoli’s Scudetto triumph and etched his name in the history books as the first African player to win the Golden Boot award in Italy, having scored 26 league goals.
While enjoying his holidays in Lagos, Osimhen participated in a small match on Wednesday, June 28, where he showcased his skills by dribbling past three players before unleashing a remarkable shot that found the back of the net, leaving fans in awe.
After viewing the video, Piers Morgan, aged 58, expressed his belief on Twitter that Arsenal should make a move for Osimhen, emphasizing his admiration for the Nigerian striker’s abilities.
Piers Morgan hails Osimhen
”If Arsenal wants to win big trophies, they need a world-class striker who will score 25+ goals a season. I’d break the bank for Osimhen.”
Onazi hosts Osimhen, Asiwaju Lerry
Earlier,it was reported how an awesome video was spotted on social media where Super Eagles legend Ogenyi Onazi was seen hosting Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and media personality Asiwaju Lerry in his mansion in Lagos.
After a successful season in Serie A with Napoli winning the Scudetto for them after 33 years, Osimhen returned to Nigeria to spend his holiday and he has been going from one place to another.
The former Lille star has also visited his childhood house in Olusosun and also the primary school he went to where all the people around those two environments were happy to see the football star.
Piers Morgan heavily criticized Arsenal for their dismal showing against Brighton on Sunday, describing it as a “lacklustre, passion-devoid, spiritless, and pathetic performance.”
The team suffered a significant setback, succumbing to a 3-0 defeat on their home turf.
As a result, there is a possibility that Manchester City might secure the Premier League title in the upcoming weekend.
Morgan’s scathing assessment reflects the disappointment and frustration felt by many Arsenal supporters.
The team’s lack of energy, motivation, and determination on the field was evident throughout the match against Brighton.
Their inability to create meaningful chances and convert them into goals was particularly glaring.
The defeat dealt a blow to Arsenal’s hopes of climbing the league table and securing European qualification for the next season.
Piers Morgan slammed the Gunners following the match
Despite Arsenal having topped the table for most of the season, City can win a fifth title in six seasons with victory against Chelsea on Sunday.
And Arsenal-mad Piers was not happy with what he saw in the 3-0 loss at home to the Seagulls.
A feisty match was settled by three second-half goals from Julio Enciso, Deniz Undav, and Pervis Estupinan.
Taking to Twitter following the defeat, Morgan fumed that the Gunners had “choked” after leading the way for the majority of the campaign.
He blasted: “All over.
“Totally outplayed by a team that just lost 1-5 to Everton.
“A horribly lacklustre, passion-devoid, spiritless, pathetic performance that cements an inexplicably dismal run-in to a season which promised so much.
“Bottom line: we choked. #afc.”
An ill-tempered encounter saw Gabriel Martinelli flatten Kaoru Mitoma in the early stages but escape without a booking.
Moises Caicedo then wiped out Martinelli just minutes later, before proceeding to slap hands with Mitoma.
Again, referee Andy Madley did not show a yellow card.
Martinelli was injured by the tackle and forced to come off, and later reappeared with his left foot in a protective boot.
The consequence of this defeat extends beyond Arsenal’s own aspirations. Manchester City, who currently lead the Premier League standings, could potentially secure the title in the upcoming weekend.
Any points dropped by their closest rivals, Manchester United, would aid City’s cause.
Arsenal’s lackluster performance against Brighton has inadvertently increased the likelihood of City’s championship triumph.
For Arsenal, the defeat against Brighton serves as a wake-up call and highlights the pressing need for improvement.
The team will have to address issues related to their overall performance, including their defensive frailties, midfield creativity, and forward line effectiveness.
Managerial decisions and strategies will also come under scrutiny, with questions raised about squad selection, tactics, and player motivation.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of the most successful football players of his generation, having won numerous individual and team accolades throughout his career. His departure from Manchester United in November 2021 left a significant impact on the team, as he was one of their top earners and star players.
Despite Ronaldo’s waning powers, he remains one of the most marketable athletes in the world and has continued to earn staggering amounts of money through his endorsement deals.
Forbes’ annual list of the world’s highest-paid athletes revealed that Ronaldo earned £109million in 2022, making him the top-earning athlete for the year.
This is more than any other sportsperson, including his arch-rival Lionel Messi, who earned £104m. Ronaldo’s earnings come from a combination of his salary and endorsements.
He reportedly took home £36.6m in salary last year, in addition to an astonishing £71.7m in endorsements.
Ronaldo’s earnings have dwarfed those of his former Manchester United teammates. Since his departure, the team’s top earner is goalkeeper David de Gea, who pockets £19.5m annually, as per Spotrac.
In fact, it would take the salaries of United’s eight top earners to match Ronaldo’s total earnings last year. Jadon Sancho reportedly takes home £18.2m a year, with Raphael Varane on £17.68m annually.
The disparity in earnings between Ronaldo and his former teammates highlights the value that he brought to the club, both on and off the pitch.
The club has struggled to find a replacement for the prolific forward, and it remains to be seen how they will fare in the future without him.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo has continued to play football in Saudi Arabia, where he signed a two-year contract with Al-Nassr FC.
Ronaldo’s success on and off the pitch has made him one of the most recognizable and marketable athletes in the world.
His endorsement deals with major brands such as Nike, Tag Heuer, and Herbalife have earned him millions of pounds every year, and his social media following is one of the largest of any athlete.
He has leveraged his fame and success to build a business empire that includes hotels, gyms, and clothing lines.
Cristiano Ronaldo. Apart from his lavish lifestyle and expensive styling, the sportsman has a natural interest in cars, which he has spoken about on a lot of TV shows. This is reflected in his extensive car collection, which consists of more than 25 cars that are valued at over $20 million today.

Cristiano Ronaldois a professional footballer from Portugal who currently plays for Al-Nassr.
He is considered one of the greatest football players of all time, having won numerous awards and accolades throughout his career, including five Ballon d’Or titles.
Ronaldo has played for several major football clubs, including Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus.
He is known for his incredible speed, skill, and goal-scoring abilities, and has scored over 700 career goals. Ronaldo is also heavily involved in philanthropy, supporting various charities and initiatives to help disadvantaged communities.
Meanwhile there had been recent reports of alleged breakup with his long time girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez with whom he has five children is the stepmother of his first child (Cristiano Junior), raising the child as her own without involvement from the child’s biological mother.
The player went through a hard time during his son’s death, i.e, the male of the twins his wife gave birth to.
He disclosed in an interview with Piers Morgan, that it was a hard time for both himself and his partner, Georgina.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has reiterated his commitment to release his tax returns, telling TV host Piers Morgan that he would do so “shortly” after the interview.
Mr. Sunak stated that he was prepared to be “transparent” and publish the documents.
When it was discovered that the Prime Minister’s wife, Akshata Murty, was a non-dom, his financial affairs came under scrutiny last year.
Since then, opposition parties have urged Mr. Sunak to be transparent about his finances.
Last April, Ms Murty’s spokeswoman said she “has always and will continue to pay UK taxes on all her UK income.”
Mr Sunak first made the promise to publish his tax returns during his unsuccessful campaign to be leader of the Conservative Party last summer.
Since becoming prime minister, he said in December at the G20 summit that he would stand by the pledge, telling reporters he would seek advice and “figure out the right way that happens”.
Mr Sunak is thought to be one of Parliament’s wealthiest members, which Labour has used as an attack line during Prime Minister’s Questions.
While there is not a long tradition of prime ministers publishing their tax returns, some of Mr Sunak’s predecessors have chosen to do so in recent years.
In his interview with Morgan in 10 Downing Street, Mr Sunak said: “They will be published shortly.” As you know, the tax filing deadline was just a few days ago. So that’s why.
“So we do the tax-filing deadlines just passed, so they’re just being prepared and they will be released shortly.”
In another question about his financial affairs, Morgan asked Mr Sunak whether he was benefitting from a financial arrangement known as a blind trust.
Politicians with share portfolios and investments routinely set up blind trusts when they get government jobs. This allows them to continue earning income from their investments without knowing where the money is invested to avoid any conflicts of interest.
On the question of whether it was right forprime ministers to have blind trusts, Mr Sunak said: “I think that’s better than them having control over them.”

The interview covered a wide range of topics, from serious ones about government policy, to light-hearted ones about his love life.
He was asked by Morgan to describe his “doctrine” and assess his first 100 days in office as prime minister.
Mr Sunak said he inherited “a challenging situation” but insisted he was “proud of what we’ve achieved” so far.
One of the most prominent issues of his time in office up to now has been the wave of public sector strikes over pay.
Mr Sunak said nurses should be treated as an “exception” and he would “love to give the nurses a massive pay rise” but insisted he could not, as doing so would stoke the rising cost of living.
Later in the interview, Morgan asked Mr Sunak for his definition of a woman. Mr Sunak replied “adult human female”, but suggested the TV presenter was actually asking about society’s handling of people questioning their gender identity.
Morgan brought up the case of Isla Bryson, a transgender woman convicted of raping two women while known as a man named Adam Graham. She was initially incarcerated in a women’s prison but has since been transferred to a men’s prison.
Morgan said it showed the problem of “limitless gender self-identity”. Mr Sunak said it demonstrated “some of the challenges”, but added “we must and should have enormous compassion and tolerance and understanding for those who are questioning their gender and identity”.
“But we have to recognise the challenges that that poses, particularly for women’s safety,” Mr Sunak said.
Asked about transgender women athletes competing in women’s sports, he said: “I think that doesn’t strike most people as being fair. That’s why, when it comes to these questions, biological sex matters.”
Also in the interview:
When Morgan challenged Mr Sunak on hospital car parking charges for nurses in England, he promised: “Of course, I’m happy to look at that.”
Mr Sunak also pledged to bring in tougher immigration and asylum rules to curb the number of people crossing the Channel in small boats
Asked why he wanted to become prime minister, he said: “I do ask myself the same question on occasion… there’s a concept in Hinduism called dharma which roughly translates into ‘duty’, and that’s how I was raised”
Morgan put to him that he was “stinking rich”, and after an awkward pause he replied: “I think most people would consider that I’m financially fortunate, yes”
He admitted rapping to Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice but swiftly added “we will not do that now”
He said he was “batting above my average” when it came to his wife and recalled proposing to her while walking along the cliffs in Half Moon Bay in California.
This comes after Ronaldo made shocking comments about the club during an interview with Piers Morgan.
The Portugal star took aim at manager Erik ten Hag, United’s ownership under the Glazer family, and several other members of the club’s hierarchy.
“I shouldn’t say that [they were trying to get rid of me], I don’t know, but yes, I feel betrayed. I felt that some people didn’t want me here not only this year, but last year too.”
Asked about his relationship with Ten Hag, Ronaldo replied: “I don’t have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me.
“If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never going to have respect for you.”
After his scathing comments, Cristiano Ronaldo acknowledged a Manchester United future appears unlikely.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen after the World Cup, but as I told you before, and I will say again, the fans will be always in my heart.
“I hope that they never forget the things that I will continue to do it. Not only in the past, but in the present too. Manchester will be always in my side, the fans will be always on my side.
“It doesn’t matter what’s going to happen. When I arrived at Manchester United, I am always available to help the team to do good things, to put them in the right spots to compete with the best teams,” he said.
Ronaldo since then has been linked with the likes of Chelsea, Juventus and Atletico Madrid among a plethora of Europe’s elite clubs.
Ronaldo scored 145 goals and made 346 appearances while at Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Man Utd say “everyone at Manchester United remains focused on continuing the team’s progress under Erik ten Hag and working together to deliver success on the pitch.”
Cristiano Ronaldo says he feels “betrayed” by senior figures at Manchester United and has no respect for the club’s head coach Erik ten Hag after enduring a tumultuous season at Old Trafford.
Having top-scored for United with 24 goals in all competitions last term, Ronaldo reportedly asked to leave the club following their failure to qualify for the Champions League, and the 37-year-old has fallen out of favour since Ten Hag took charge ahead of this campaign.
Ronaldo was temporarily exiled from first-team activities last month after refusing to come on as a substitute in a 2-0 win over Tottenham, and has only scored one Premier League goal all season.
Before travelling to Qatar to represent Portugal at his fifth and likely final World Cup, Ronaldo stated his belief that senior figures at Old Trafford – including Ten Hag – want rid of him.
Asked whether he felt he was being forced out of Old Trafford, Ronaldo told Piers Morgan uncensored: “Yes, not only by the coach, but by another two or three guys around the club that I felt betrayed me.
“I shouldn’t say that [they were trying to get rid of me], I don’t know, but yes, I feel betrayed. I felt that some people didn’t want me here not only this year, but last year too.”
Ten Hag has preferred to hand opportunities to the likes of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Anthony Elanga in United’s attack this season, and has only started Ronaldo in four league games.
Last month, Ten Hag said he opted against bringing Ronaldo on in a 6-3 defeat to rivals Manchester City “out of respect”, while the Portugal forward was visibly irritated by the Dutchman’s decision to substitute him against Newcastle United two weeks later.
Asked about his relationship with Ten Hag, Ronaldo added: “I don’t have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me.
“If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never going to have respect for you.”
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, made a formal complaint to British broadcaster ITV relating to Piers Morgan’s comments about her mental health, CNN has learned.
ITV announced on Tuesday that Morgan would leave the program he hosted, “Good Morning Britain,” after he cast doubt on whether Meghan had suicidal thoughts, a major revelation from her blockbuster interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain,” ITV said on Tuesday. “ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add.”
CNN understands that Meghan’s complaint to ITV concerned the impact Morgan’s comments could have on others and how it could degrade the seriousness of mental health issues. The complaint did not relate to the personal nature of Morgan’s attacks.
On Monday’s edition of “Good Morning Britain,” Morgan questioned whether the Duchess was being truthful about having suicidal thoughts. His comments sparked a huge controversy in Britain, and he was rebuked by mental health charity Mind.
UK media regulator Ofcom said it had received over 41,000 complaints about Monday’s edition of “Good Morning Britain,” and had launched an investigation under its “harm and offence rules.”
On Wednesday, Morgan said that he “still” does not believe Meghan. “I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t [believe her],” Morgan tweeted. “If you did, OK. Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I’m off to spend more time with my opinions.”
