Sharon Stone is still going to bat for Kevin Spacey.
The actress used part of her interview in a new profile for The Hollywood Reporter to defend the actor, after she’d already written a statement of support for him to The Telegraph (along with Liam Neeson and several others), pleading for the actor to no longer be blacklisted. She wasn’t ignorant to the backlash for the statement, she said—“People were mad at me about that”—but she’s got more to say.
“After being in therapy for seven years, not being allowed to work, losing his home, losing everything, he should be allowed to come back,” Stone told the magazine. “He’s reached out to everybody he’s offended and said he’s sorry.” Stone went on to say that Spacey’s sexuality is more likely the cause of his ostracization than the allegations of assault and attempted rape made against him.
