Controversial Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey, who is facing a fresh round of sexual misconduct allegations. endorsed the candidacy of Robert Kennedy Jr. on Monday.

The Oscar-winning star took to his X page to tout Kennedy as a friend to learn from and also said the candidate defended him when he was initially accused of sexual misconduct with young men and boys.

“There’s a lot I can learn from this man,” Spacey wrote. “When the world turned its back on me, Bobby leaned in.”

Spacey added, “He’s a formidable fighter for justice and a loyal friend that’s not afraid to stand up for what he believes.”

The former “House of Cards” star shared a 30-minute video Kennedy had posted that was narrated by actor Woody Harrelson and that touted the political scion as a Washington outsider.

Spacey’s endorsement was met with mockery, given years of allegations the actor preyed on young men and teenagers throughout his film career:

Allegations Spacey had been inappropriate first arose in 2017 when actor Anthony Rapp claimed Spacey made an advance on him at a party when Rapp was 14 and Spacey was 26 in 1986. Soon, others came forward to allege they had similar encounters with the “American Beauty” star.

Spacey was not found criminally guilty or civilly liable for any of the accusations. He had been accused of sexual improprieties in both the U.S. and the U.K.

When initially confronted with negative press about the allegations, Spacey came out as gay.

The admission ruffled some feathers among the LGBT community as some viewed the announcement as the star having connected homosexuality with predatory behavior.

LGBT activist Peter Tatchell told the U.K.’s Guardian, “It is tragic that it has taken allegations of sexual harassment for Kevin Spacey to finally come out as gay, after not disclosing his sexuality for decades. It is even worse that he mixes up his sexuality with inappropriate behavior. His gayness is irrelevant. It’s his actions that have prompted concern.”

A fresh round of allegations are being made about Spacey in a documentary series on the U.K.’s Channel 4 called “Spacey Unmasked,” which is airing in the country Monday and Tuesday, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.

Spacey admitted he had been “annoying at times” when trying to court sexual partners but denied any wrongdoing ahead of the series release, Vulture reported.

“I take full responsibility for my past behavior and my actions,” Spacey told British reporter Dan Wootton in an interview.

He added, “But I cannot and will not take responsibility or apologize to anyone who’s made up stuff about me or exaggerated stories about me.”


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.
