Kevin Spacey Compares His Career Nosedive After Misconduct Scandal To Coronavirus Layoffs - WTF!?

Has your life been severely impacted by circumstances out of your control? Accused serial predator Kevin Spacey says he can relate!

That’s right. The disgraced actor, whose career will likely never recover from the slew of sexual assault allegations he was hit with in 2017, said he can empathize with the thousands who have lost their jobs due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The claims were made in a recent interview for the Bits & Pretzels podcast, where the 60-year-old said:

“I don’t often like to tell people that I can relate to their situation because I think it undermines the experience that they may be having, which is their own unique and very personal experience… But in this instance, I feel as though I can relate to what it feels like to have your world suddenly stop.”

The House of Cards alum went on to admit that he and other unemployed folks were in “similar situations” for “very different reasons and circumstances,” but said he believed that “some of the emotional struggles are very much the same.”

He explained:

“And so I do have empathy for what it feels like to suddenly be told that you can’t go back to work or that you might lose your job and that it’s a situation that you have absolutely no control over.”

Wait, what?

Sure, Spacey might not have had any control over the nosedive his career took due to the scandal, but if the accusations are true, the guy brought that on himself. Actually, many of his accusers said he had full control of the situation when he allegedly fondled their d**ks as some sort of predatory power move.

The Oscar winner, who has been accused by more than a dozen men of sexual misconduct, then talked about his own “painful” journey, saying his life changed “in just a matter of hours” after the allegations were reported. He explained:

“I don’t think it will come as a surprise for anyone to say that my world completely changed in the fall of 2017. My job, many of my relationships, my standing in my own industry were all gone in just a matter of hours. I was so busy defining myself by what I did or what I was trying to do, that when it all stopped, I had no idea what to do next… I don’t want to sugarcoat this devastating time that we’re in, I am hoping that I can encourage you to see an opportunity in all of this and turn this into a positive.”

Sounds like Spacey was his own private coronavirus pandemic…

Seriously, though. Comparing his downward spiral to a global pandemic that has affected millions of people — and has reportedly killed hundreds of thousands of others — just goes to show what an award-winning narcissist this guy can be.

What do U think, Perezcious readers?
