Update: Spacey has responded in full to the Channel 4 documentary via an extend YouTube interview. Prior to broadcast, he issued the following statement via Twitter:

Spacey's May 2 statement in full:

"Over the last week, I have repeatedly requested that Channel 4 afford me more than 7 days to respond to allegations made against me dating back 48 years and provide me with sufficient details to investigate these matters. Channel 4 has refused on the basis that they feel that asking for a response in 7 days to new, anonymized and non-specific allegations is a “fair opportunity” for me to refute any allegations made against me.

"I will not sit back and be attacked by a dying network's one-sided “documentary” about me in their desperate attempt for ratings. There's a proper channel to handle allegations against me and it’s not Channel 4.

"Each time I have been given the time and a proper forum to defend myself, the allegations have failed under scrutiny and I have been exonerated. Tune in this weekend to see my response on X [formerly Twitter]

"Channel 4 and Roast Beef TV may find themselves “speechless”, but I no longer will be."
