HOWIE: ACTOR KEVIN SPACEY HAS
REMAINED SILENT AS MORE THAN A
DOZEN MEN ACCUSED HIM OF
ASSAULT.
IN A STUNNING MOVE, THE MAN WHO
PLAYED IN HOUSE OF CARDS RRP
RELEASED THIS VIDEO COMPLETELY
IN CHARACTER.
>> SOME BELIEVED EVERYTHING AND
HAVE BEEN WAITING WITH BATED
BREATH.
BUT YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE THE
WORST WITHOUT EVIDENCE, WOULD
YOU?
YOU WOULDN'T RUSH TO JUDGMENT
WITHOUT FACTS, WOULD YOU?
DID YOU?
HOWIE: JOINING US FROM NEW YORK,
KAT TIMPF.
HOW CAN HE SAY NOTHING, THEN
COME OUT PLAYING FRANK
UNDERWOOD.
KAT: I WATCHED THIS SEVERAL
TIMES TRYING TO WAYNES WAS GOING
FOR.
IT LOOKED LIKE A WEIRD AUDITION
TAPE FOR A STRUGGLING ACTOR.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE EXPECTED.
I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE WOULD SAY
WOW, I REMEMBER HIM AS FRANK
UNDERWOOD, WE SHOULD WELCOME HIM
BACK.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE PUT ON THAT
SANTA APRON FOR NOTHING.
HOWIE: IT WORKED IN THE SENSE IT
HAS GOTTEN 4.5 MILLION VIEWS IN
A FEW DAYS.
IF THEY LIKED HIM AS AN ACTOR
AND USING THAT SKILL IN A CODED
WAY WITH WITH HOLD JUDGMENT.
KAT: I SUPPOSE THAT MUST BE WHAT
HE WAS GOING FOR.
PEOPLE WENT FROM THINKING HE'S A
MOLESTER TO HE'S A MOLESTER WHO
LOST HIS MARBLES.
THEY DON'T JUST THINK HE'S A
PREDATOR, THEY THINK HE'S CRAZY.
IT SHOWS HOW MUCH THINGS HAVE
CHANGED.
IN THE PAST IF YOU WERE A
POWERFUL MAN YOU USED TO BE ABLE
TO GET AWAY WITH ACCUSATIONS OF
PREDATORY BEHAVIOR.
NOW BECAUSE OF THE #metoo
MOVEMENT YOU CAN'T GET AWAY
WHITNEYMORE.
HOWIE: ACTRESS ELLEN BARKHAM
SAID KEVIN SPACEY IS SENDING A
MESSAGE SAYING IF YOU LOVED ME
ON'' HOUSE OF CARDS, WHY DON'T
YOU LOVE ME.
>> I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH'
FICTION.
BUT THIS IS DESPERATE.
HE TRIED TO HE VOID HIS JANUARY
7 AARRAIGNMENT IN NANTUCKET.
THE PROSECUTORS REJECTED THAT.
HE'S HAVING TO PLAY BY A NEW SET
OF RULES.
A VIDEO YouTube CLIP WHERE
YOU DO THE ACROSS SEND OF FRANK
UNDERWOOD ISN'T ENOUGH TO GET
YOUR LIFE BACK.
HOWIE: PROSECUTORS SAY THERE IS
VIDEO EVIDENCE OF HIM PUTTING
HIS HAND DOWN THE PANTS OF AN
$18-YEAR-OLD MAN.
IS HE TRYING TO AVOID THE
PROCESS OF REDEMPTION.
KAT: WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ACCUSE
YOU, SORRY, BRO, YOU DID IT.
YOU CAN'T USE AND ABUSE YOUR
POWER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
PEOPLE ANYMORE.
HE'S TRYING TO BY PASS THE
APOLOGY AND GO ON WITH LIFE.
