‘What Took You So Long?’

Kevin Spacey has responded to Guy Pearce’s accusations, telling his “L.A. Confidential” co-star to “grow up.”

“I have now read the comments you made about me, and while I would have preferred not to have to play this out in the media, you obviously have your own reasons for doing exactly that,” Spacey began his X video message on Tuesday. “We worked together a long time ago, if I did something then that upset you, you could’ve reached out to me, we could’ve had that conversation.”

“But instead, you decided to speak to the press, who of course are now coming after me because they’d like to know what my response is to the things that you said. You really want to know what my response is? Grow up,” he continued. “Did you also, by the way, tell the press that a year after we shot ‘L.A. Confidential’ you flew to Savannah, Georgia, while I was shooting ‘Midnight in the Valley of Good and Evil’ just to spend time with me? Did you tell the press that, too? Or does that not fit into the victim narrative you have going?”

“So anyway, I apologize that I didn’t get the message that you don’t like spending time with me. Maybe there was another reason, I don’t know,” Spacey added. “But that doesn’t make any sense that you would’ve just been leading me on, right?”

“But here you are now on a mission, some 28 years later, after I’ve been through hell and back to do what? Just in time to stop the bad guy. Is that what’s going on here? What took you so long? Did your horse run out of gas? I mean, you want to have a conversation, I’m happy to do so anytime, any place,” he concluded. “We can even do it here live on X if you’d like, I’ve got nothing to hide. But Guy, you need to grow up. You are not a victim.”
