Kevin Spacey may be legally free, but his financial woes still weigh on him like an unrelenting burden.

follow Online Radar, Kevin Spacey’s financial stability is threatened due to the legal problems that have plagued him in recent years.
The “House of Cards” alum reportedly spent nearly $1.3 million to settle his legal fees to defend himself against sexual assault allegations leveled by four former acquaintances.
In the end, this expenditure paid off handsomely, as he was acquitted by a London court of all nine charges brought against him by the man.
However, while Spacey may still be in celebration mode, he’s still embroiled in at least two lawsuits from individuals he’s accused of assaulting, suggesting that his legal challenges are far from over.
According to sources, this means that Spacey’s fortune, which is reportedly worth $30 million, is “at risk,” possibly due to the fact that he may have to pay more legal fees or shell out large sums of money to settle his accusers if he is found guilty.
“Disappointed accusers are out for blood with the acquittal and are now taking the civil route, where the burden of proof is much lower than in a criminal case,” the insider said.

It came after a tearful Spacey thanked a jury for finding him not guilty on July 26 after a month-long trial at Southwark Crown Court in London.
The decision seemed to move him, not only because it guaranteed that he was a free man but also because he was 64 that day.
Speaking to the press after he left court, Spacey stated that the verdict left him “humbled.”
“I imagine that many of you can understand that there is a lot for me to process after what just happened today. But I want to say that I’m very grateful to the jury for taking the time to go through all the evidence and all the facts carefully before they reached their verdict. And I feel humbled by today’s results,” he told the news channel, per CNN.

The recent allegations span the years from 2004 to 2013, a period that coincided with Spacey’s tenure as artistic director of the Old Vic Theater in London.
Before being acquitted by a London Jury, the allegations were so damaging to the actor’s reputation, that no one wanted to be seen working with him.

“There are friends who support him, like Elton John, and he is always grateful. But Kevin has a blacklist of all the people who threw him under the bus, and he’s going to get his revenge,” the source said, per Radar.
They added, “He will not work with them, but he will bring them down in the market. There are ways to destroy a project or a career. Kevin won’t be mad — he’ll get his revenge!”
