Kevin Spacey has been in the news for the past year or so since multiple reports of sexual harassment have been alleged against him. His victims, mostly young men and boys have claimed that he displayed aggressive behaviour and in the light of these shocking allegations, he was soon removed from the Netflix political drama 'House of Cards'. His character Frank Underwood was presumably killed and the actor went under the radar after an apology. Now, he has made another appearance in a bizarre and what can only be called cringe-worthy video.

Taking to Twitter, he posted a short monologue video of himself as 'House of Cards' character Frank Underwood. Speaking in his inimitable accent, he questions if one should believe everything they hear. Calling it an impeachment without trial or due process, he wonders how can a judgment be passed without it being proven in court. Spacey also said that there are people who believed all the charges and are 'waiting with bated breath' for him to confess everything. However, he clarified that things are never so simple in politics and in life. After this bold display of misplaced bravado, he even hinted that his character of Frank Underwood might not be dead after all. 

This video might have been acceptable had not a charge of sexual assault become public just hours before this clip came out. In his first criminal lawsuit for his behaviour, Kevin has been alleged with sexually assaulting an 18-year-old man in a bar in Massachusets, who is a son of a TV anchor. In light of this information, the video and the boldness with which he is saying its all lies is even more disturbing. Moreover, it also seems like he is requesting to be let back on 'House of Cards' show since the charges have not been officially proven yet. The incident which took place in 2016, has been made public only now. A hearing will take place on January 7 on charges of assault and battery, which is a felony offense.
