Kevin Spacey opened up about a longstanding Hollywood rumor when he came out as gay Sunday night.
Amid accusations from Anthony Rapp, the “American Beauty” star revealedthat he has has relationships with men and women throughout his life.
“This story has encouraged me to address other things about my life. I know that there are stories out there about me and that some have been fueled by the fact that I have been so protective of my privacy. As those closest to me know, in my life I have had relationships with both men and women,” Spacey said.
“I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man. I want to deal with this honestly and openly and that starts with examining my own behavior.”
Late Sunday, Rapp accused Spacey of trying to seduce him when he was 14.
Spacey hinted at his sexuality at the 2017 Tony Awards in June during an opening skit with Whoopi Goldberg, who came “out of a closet” on stage.
“Whoopi, how long have you been in that closet?” Spacey asked.
“Well, Kevin, it depends on who you ask,” Goldberg responded.
In drag as “Sunset Boulevard’s” Norma Desmond, Spacey began the lyrics “I’m coming out” before pausing.
“No, wait, no,” he said.
