Spacey’s Testimony:

During his two days in the witness box, Spacey opened up about his personal life and preferences, including his use of substances and struggles with rolling a joint.

He addressed questions about his reputation and asserted that he could have relationships frequently.

Emotionally, he described how his world “exploded” when sexual misconduct allegations surfaced online in 2017, leading to a loss of reputation.

Fiery Exchange and Emotional Reactions:

Spacey returned to the witness box with a more defiant demeanor, seeking to challenge the prosecution’s assertions.

In one fiery exchange, he dismissed an accusation as “absolute bollocks,” prompting laughter in the courtroom.
