Just 24 hours after news broke about Kevin Spacey and his sexual assault arraignment, a bizarre video the actor posted on social media has racked up over 6 million views.
Spacey channeled his House of Cards character, Frank Underwood, in the strage video. The actor seems to think that people want him back on the big screen. “We’re not done no matter anyone says,” Spacey notes in the video. “Besides, I know what you want, you want me back.”
The video was posted to Spacey’s Twitter account and the tweet now has over 16,000 retweets and 45,000 likes. The reply section of the tweet seems to be a war ground for fans and haters alike. The response on social media is a mixed back of support and disgust.
Actresses Ellen Barkin and Patricia Arquette shared their thoughts via tweet:
Kevin Spacey is sending a very disturbing message as he chastises his audience… if you hypocrites loved me as a murderer, why won’t you love me as a sex offender? Maybe because Frank Underwood’s crimes are fiction and Kevin Spacey’s are not. #LostInSpacey

I’m sure none of the men who were kids at the time of their sexual assaults appreciate @KevinSpacey ‘s weird video. No. Just No.

Actor Anthony Rapp alleges he was sexually abused by Kevin Space when he was 14 years old. Several other victims have come forward with similar allegations. Spacey will be arraigned in Massachusetts on January 7 on a charge of indecent assault and battery.
