Piers Morgan, the host of Uncensored, has recently come under fire for spreading what some are calling "fake news." This all started when he made a bold claim about his upcoming interview with Kevin Spacey. Morgan, who is no stranger to controversial interviews, had previously grilled Fiona Harvey, the real-life inspiration for the play "Baby Reindeer."
Morgan had announced that he would be interviewing Spacey, the star of "House of Cards," on Tuesday night. This comes after Spacey was acquitted of 12 sexual offense charges last year, which were alleged by four men between 2001 and 2013. Morgan excitedly declared on Twitter that he had just finished a 90-minute interview with Spacey and that it would be premiering on his YouTube channel the next day.
However, some of Morgan's followers quickly pointed out that he had made a mistake in his announcement. They reminded him that just days ago, Lex Fridman had published an interview with Spacey on his own YouTube channel and podcast. In the interview, titled "Kevin Spacey: Power, Controversy, Betrayal, Truth & Love in Film and Life," Spacey addresses the allegations against him for which he was acquitted. The interview was also conducted in a studio, contrary to Morgan's claim that it would be Spacey's first in-studio interview in seven years.
Despite the correction, Morgan's excitement for the interview with Spacey is understandable. In Fridman's podcast, Spacey spoke openly about the allegations against him, denying any sexual misconduct with underage individuals. He also admitted to crossing boundaries and making mistakes in the past, but expressed regret and a desire to change his behavior. Spacey's civil case with "Rent" star Anthony Rapp, who accused Spacey of molesting him when he was 14, was also dismissed in October 2022.
However, Spacey's career has faced setbacks since the allegations came to light. In a two-part Channel 4 documentary titled "Spacey Unmasked," the actor claimed that film bosses were blocking his acting opportunities. He expressed frustration with the lack of redemption and second chances in the industry, despite many celebrated individuals advocating for these things for those who have served time in prison.
The documentary's producer, Katherine Haywood, maintained that the documentary was meant to be fair and balanced. She stated that there are "no monsters and no saints," and that everyone is a mixture of both good and bad qualities. The Agency, a UK-based media outlet, has reached out to Piers Morgan's representatives for comment on the situation.
Despite the controversy, Piers Morgan Uncensored is still available to watch on YouTube. And for those interested in sharing their own celebrity stories or pictures, The Agency's entertainment team can be contacted via email, phone, or their website.
