Brian Cox Defends Kevin Spacey, Criticizes Cancel Culture

The 'Succession' star argues that Spacey has been unfairly ostracized by Hollywood despite his acquittals in multiple legal cases.

Brian Cox, known for his role in 'Succession,' has publicly defended his friend Kevin Spacey, describing the industry's treatment of him as unjust.
Cox criticized Hollywood's decision to sever ties with Spacey, calling it 'sneaky and petty' and condemning the broader concept of cancel culture.
Spacey has faced over 30 accusations of sexual misconduct since 2017, resulting in significant career repercussions, including being removed from 'House of Cards' and other projects.
In recent years, Spacey has been acquitted in two major legal cases, including a 2022 New York lawsuit and a 2023 trial in the U.K., while other charges have been dropped or dismissed.
Cox suggested that Spacey's actions were influenced by struggles with his own sexuality rather than abusive intent, advocating for his return to the industry.
