Taking the witness stand for the second day of his defense, Spacey suggested that the accusers’ accusations against him were false and for “money, money, and then money.” He said the man had “made up his whole story from beginning to end,” and even labeled the case for the prosecution as “weak.”
“I didn’t accept a single word that came out of his mouth,” the “Se7en” actor said in court on Friday. When the prosecuting attorney, Christina Agnew KC, questioned why the complainant would lie, she replied, “Money, money and then money,” adding: “And I also believe he has, for whatever reason, a grudge against me.”
