Two of the four men who accused the star are currently pursuing civil claims against the actor for damages, the court heard.
He said all his professional contracts had been abandoned and no acting work has aired since 2017, while he faces mounting debts from legal bills. Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish also gave evidence to support Spacey’s claim that he could not have assaulted the complainant on the way to a showbiz ball at their Windsor home in 2004 or 2005, telling the court he had only attended the annual fundraiser once in 2001.
