Sharon Stone has gone out swinging to defend Kevin Spacey, who has been shamed for his sexual misconduct, despite the fact that a large number of people in Hollywood are avoiding him like the plague.
The beauty from “Basic Instinct,” who is 66 years old, asserts that Kevin has been shunned more because of his sexual orientation than because of the charges of sexual assault that ruined the career of the Oscar-winning actor from "The Usual Suspects."
“Kevin grabbed people by their genitals. Many people. But nobody [has publicly said] he’s raped them or forced them into a sexual encounter. But there’s so much hatred for him because, in his case, it was man-on-man. That’s why he’s not allowed to come back. Because he offended men!” Sharon shockingly stated in a new interview, as per The National Enquirer.
Amid numerous allegations from over 20 men accusing him of sexual misconduct, Kevin, who is 65 years old, experienced a decline in his high-profile status. However, Sharon argued that after losing everything, including his home, Kevin should be given the opportunity to make a comeback.
Sharon further asserted that there is a double standard in Hollywood, where she believes men have historically felt entitled to inappropriately touch her. “Can I tell you how many men have grabbed my genitals in my lifetime?” A lot more than Kevin Spacey has grabbed men’s genitals. And none of them has ever apologized to me!” she ranted.
