Good catch, two things come to mind 1) he’s not guilty of what he’s accused of, he’s guilty of some other stuff. Again, I think it’s very clear he acted in inappropriate ways, he knows he did some stuff that’s not right. So the caveat can be an acknowledgment of that. He’s acknowledged in many places that he acted in ways he no longer would or that he now understands were inappropriate so I would imagine he doesn’t feel entirely absolved of all guilt. 2) the obvious thing would be to name the charges “I was found not guilty of SA, SH, R …..” but I know, more than anyone, how aware people who make videos are of the words we’re not supposed to use. And given the platforms he’s been on recently I’m sure he was told to not say certain words. So the distancing language can be exactly that. Distancing haha Thanks for watching and pointing out a great verbal catch 😊

@@TheBehavioralArts I wouldn't see this as too much of a thing, because honestly who isn't guilty of something? That's what I would hear from a statement of that "What i was accused of", that's what he's on "trial" for whether in court or public opinion. There's likely a billion other things in his life that people could scrutinize him for or anyone for that matter. If he were to come out and just be like "I'm not guilty of anything." then that opens up to this clip being played the moment the next scandal comes out. "But you said this", it's quite clear his goal is to build back up his reputation and I presume to try and get back into acting on somewhat close to a scale as he once was. Which comes with needing to not only do these interview to address the present and past Kevin but also to address the future Kevin.

Wouldn’t a truly remorseful person plainly say , “what I did.” ? I agree he is trying to regain a career and recover financial losses.

@@EarsToSeeYou if he said that though, it might sound like he did the stuff, was accused of doing it, but somehow found not guilty through his own or others’ machinations. It raises unnecessary questions, so that’s not what he wants to say. He’s trying to say he was found not guilty of the particular things he was “accused of” and to state or imply that he didn’t actually DO those things. As others including Spidey mentioned, specifying the accusations could cause issues with the video being able to be played on YT or elsewhere. It’s pretty clear that he’s no angel, so a categorical denial (eg, “I’m innocent!” Or “I didn’t do anything wrong”) would just invite further scrutiny and criticism, in addition to being something he wouldn’t be able to say 100% truthfully. I hear someone who is very carefully choosing his words.

Thank you everybody for your feedback! He’s a great actor so something just doesn’t compute fully with my intuition… thinking of Usual Suspects… chilling! He’s been cancelled well enough for “what he was accused of”

Ha thanks, it gets tough sometimes. But I don’t think anyone at Google is sitting there looking at this thinking it’s inappropriate. It’s that the way they catch content is an automated system that get triggered with certain words. It gets rough sometimes to navigate but it is what it is 😊. Thanks for putting up with it

That's why so many true crime channels use patreon to keep up with content. I agree it's ridiculous, but good content is still important from reliable sources. Spidey is definitely a good source! 😊

Exactly - to infantilize the audience, meanwhile they don't see any problem with showing children videoclips of the modenrn 'artists' with all this sexualized behaviours...

I believe the case he’s referring to was in the UK. Also, I believe they counter sued for damages by proving the claims were untrue, not just finding reasonable doubt. That’s why he was awarded $40k back. So in that sense, he actually did get found “innocent”.

Yes. But if a case is mounted by the prosecution, it often succeeds. Even when it's wrong. (DNA overturning murder trial results years later. These cases show the system is broken.)

your forgetting the key element of modern western justice, you are "presumed innocent, unless found guilty" so a not guilty verdict simply maintains that status quo of "being presumed innocent" A defendant does not have to "prove" their innocence. That is presumed as a fact. The prosecution must "prove" their guilt. So de facto, if you are "not" found "guilty," your "are" innocent, because you always were.

@@BeardedApostle not guilty doesn't mean innocent, it just means there's doubt

OP, it's 'guilty', 'not guilty', and 'beyond a reasonable doubt' in inverted commas implying so-called or supposedly. Not quotation marks.

For the first silent moment, he kept his eyes watching the host, always checking back. He seems to be gauging response more than reporting a story.

Thanks that means a lot especially because I AM the editor haha. People ask me why I don’t hire an editor. This is exactly why.

The editing and presentation are really good and make the video easy to follow. Plus Spidey is so sincere and careful with his analysis. Such great stuff.

BP do that so you can see again what they are talking about and to give the chance to apply what they've just said. But I like Spidey's editing too 👌🏻 clean and precise. Just like his analysis is 😊

Yes BP​ do that too. Maybe the main commenter missed their recent videos@@kitnkatnz

I completely agree! It makes it very easy to pick out the exact moments referenced and prevents accidentally thinking a different moment/movement is the one referenced and then going forward on incorrect knowledge. Spidey is also constantly referencing and citing the research which I love seeing the foundation of the knowledge!

Totally agree. Well, the exception being I do like his movies. Couldn't have put it better myself.

I agree as well. He seems to sincerely want to have a better character.

@crissantos44 What is your profession, please?

@@thekeysman6760 rather not say, but you can infer from what I said.

Beautifully put.

Then why didn't he?

Versus a practiced interviewer like Piers Morgan it's dueling experts. Because interviewers can be antagonists more often than celebrants. Because antagonisms sells.

Specially after his role on House of Cards. He reminded me of Frank Underwood so much during this..

Spacey isn't just "an actor"; Spacey is a top actor. Spacey's acting chops are well developed. Do I trust anything he says? No. I do, however, find him a fascinating study in what sets one actor a cut above the rest.

He even said in this interview he was thriving to be and "The best actor"​@@rubynibs

I don't think he's such a great actor - he always plays some sort of a creep - which is playing himself.

@@jaclyng23 'Correct', not neat.

@@thekeysman6760 you must be attending Harvard with that strong grammatical acumen

Very well articulated. Thank you.

Thank you! I thought the Spidey’s point of “he was found innocent in court” somewhat weak and hypocritical, especially after his video on OJ. The outcome of a court case does not indicate whether someone is truly guilty or not - it only means that particular court case could not prove guilt or the jury/judge did not have enough evidence to legally find someone guilty. In Spacey Unmasked, there was even a mention of certain evidence not being heard in court. Court cases can have many pieces of evidence blocked or thrown out. Spacey relies heavily on pointing out his court case findings (“I am not guilty”) instead of denying the incidents happened, which makes sense for him. But Spidey? I’m surprised he gave as much credence to it as he did in this video. Still love this channel and Spidey though.

The Scottish courts have a third option - 'not proven'.

@@truecrimeboozer right and in America not guilty doesn't mean I'm innocent

@@truecrimeboozerand it all goes back to our shared “oppression” by the British… the quotes aren’t to say that they didn’t happen, but with a longer view of history Britain didn’t invent empire. It was an import from the Roman’s… I always loved the story of Boudicca. It proves that they people had to figure something out in order to break calculated military influence from a “distant shore”. Edit: I’d just add that part of my heritage is British, but also PNW Native American. The British treated people in different places differently, and it’s probable that we were simply too faraway to directly antagonize, but it’s also true that when Lewis and Clark reached the my people there were traders that spoke English. They, the Brit’s, didn’t realize they were even on the same land mass for all I know at the time… it’s a long trip around Africa and Asia and then that far south down the continent.

I totally agree with what you said here....this is my gut reaction too..and it is rarely wrong...

He did a Christmas speech in front of a fire place. He quotes "I kill them with kindness" see if your gut still says the same after viewing.

@@slysampss And your point is?

He should know that Hollywood takes great pleasure in raising you up, and then watching you fall too.

Something is totally " off" giving creepy vibes in this interview. I just don't believe what he is saying , I am sure there are so many more victims keeping quiet. If Hollywood thought they could make money out of him he would be employed BUT no one probably wants to work with him or he is past his sell by date.

Yes, agreed.

Wow - you're okay with groping and passes made at a 14 year old boy? That's illegal and assault. I believe Anthony Rapp.

@@firenze5555 If he doesnt think it happened, then there is nothing to be okay with or not be okay with. Not believing a certain event happened has no relation to whether or not one agrees with what took place in that event they don't think happened. I don't believe in Santa Claus, so i don't agree nor disagree that he likes cookies and milk, because i disagree with the premise as a whole.

@@firenze5555 I certainly believe that Anthony Rapp believes that it happened. But the evidence showed that it could not have happened the way Rapp said it did. That’s why Spacey was found Not Guilty. He’s not saying it’s ok to do that. He’s saying it didn’t happen (not that way or that time) and he has receipts to prove it.

@@Nathan47223 It doesn't matter what he thinks - there have been soooooo many who have come forward with stories of assault by Kevin Spacey. Harvey Weinstein didn't think it happened, either.

Haha someone knows their technical terms! Great job

Wow, I SO agree with you! I’ve read many, and I think it’s surprising that ‘members’ obviously aren’t paying attention to Spidey’s teachings. Maybe he needs to see which ones need a remediation course!😉😄

The "I'm not guilty" statement

I'm having a hard time not thinking he's been trained to be convincing to body language experts.

You're number 2 point, I need to point this out before even watching this. It's very very common for people who are struggling in some way to be targeted as they are easier to manipulate and take advantage of and use the fact that they are troubled in some way is a reason to not take their accusations seriously and dismiss claims.

@@Sarah-with-an-H yes!

@@FionaC1 it's absolutely disturbing to me. Kevin Spacy while I don't think he ended these people's lives I also recognize he's not the man you'd want to or could trust to not abuse you.

​@@Sarah-with-an-H Great point! I think to the number 2 point, I agree, in general. In this specific case I didn't read it as Spacey victim blaming around the people's frailties. He largely spoke about their difficulties because they were contextually relevant...for example, he was making the point that the person with cancer died of cancer (not being killed by someone), that one of the accusers was actually stalker (and gave examples to show that to be true). The one where I didn't agree was with the example of the Marine. It's not uncommon for abuses of power to really mess with decisions someone makes around contact with the perpetrator. Richard Gadd is a great example of that, with the Darrien character. It's really not a straightforward relationship. Just because he was emailing Spacey trying to get work or happening to meet up with him socially, doesn't exonerate Spacey. However, I find Spacey to be completely credible in this situation. The Marine had the incident VERY closely tied to that specific movie, so its unlikely he got the wrong movie. He was describing how the worst scenes of battle juxtaposed with what he said Spacey was doing at that moment. The body language when Piers asked if he'd ever seen Saving Private Ryan was grounded, still, no additional word based qualifiers or movements in his face or body, just a sure and certain "No". We saw the same with Fiona Harvey when Piers asked if she'd ever been convicted of anything.

@@TheMinimalistTherapist right, I'm also coming from the position of a person with C-PTSD who's become hypervilgent and I notice very small things people that haven't hat to be hypervilgent to protect themselves from harm won't notice in situations they are distanced from like in this case I'm not involved so it's something where I can analyze from a very safe distance. If I'm directly in it it creates panic fear and a freeze response

Casey Anthony was, and is, very poor and couldn't afford a fancy lawyer. Why do you disregard her verdict?

@@virtuserable because I believe the jury was seriously wrong in the acquittal and I think she did commit the crime.

Exactly what I kept thinking!

Even more importantly one of the best. I dont know much about his cases but whenever he talks it screams “Dont trust him!” To me

Meh

And a brilliant one

Actors are experts at reciting lines they have memorized with lots of practice. Honestly answering questions from an adept and sometimes antagonistic interviewer where there are presumably no cuts, no reshoots, no do-overs...is a completely different animal. You don't do an interview with Piers Morgan unless you are prepared to tell the truth...or willing to look like an idiot or a liar in front of millions of his viewers.

🎯 🥇

He's not. People who are innocent don't proclaim I'm not guilty. While it's true and not lying because the courts found him not guilty it's not the same as being an innocent party. I'm also pretty sure every person who's had to struggle with a rather trumatic life paused at the idea that he'd bring up his accusers and mention their struggles in order to dismiss them. That's something abusive people do is dismiss and deflect because of you can't believe them because they are always in trouble aka they are the problem not me.

I'm. Only guessing what the non-verbal communication is with the sound on mute. Spidey asked us to try to read the body language.

Yes. That answer implies some nuggets of truth.

Avoiding mentioning the crime one is accused of is a dead giveaway.

@@Gabrielle4870spacey is guilty. He just got away with it. He is a danger to children.

I wonder if the “directly” could also be to couch it if someone comes later and says they know so-and-so talked to him on behalf of King Charles. This way he’s being honest and there’s no “gotcha” moment. And I suspect knowing the date he last had contact with his costar could coincide when he left the show or these allegations took off. I don’t know for sure, but these would be plausible explanations as to why these two things occurred as they did.

Agreed. I'd love to see Spidey analyze those interviews as well. Getting both sides could be even more illuminating.

Worst documentary I’ve seen in years. Shameless hit piece. I went in thinking I was going to learn to hate Spacey, but I came out of it feeling bad for him and angry at the people who made that garbage. The victims’ claims didn’t even make sense, except the ones that even they admitted weren’t illegal actions.

​@harryevans1111 wow, you are completely igornant.

@@sherrisanders7478 again, no logic, no evidence, just an insult based on assumptions. I don’t find your communication respectful or intelligent, so regardless of your next rude reply, I won’t be responding.

@@sherrisanders7478 I guess I lied, I’m responding once more because now that I watched the video, Spidey actually went out of his way to dissect the way you’re arguing and show that it’s wrong. He specifically talks about the killer conspiracies being ridiculous. As Spidey said, you’re arguing from a conclusion.

Thank you so much 😊 it really means a lot that you appreciate the way I approach analysis

It's still probably Ari Behn he was referring to after the stalker. All the details fit.

@@TheBehavioralArts😮

😂 woops

¡qué bueno! good catch 😄

I can naturally lip-read but only if it's someone with an English accent like mine. If it's a stronger British accent, or an English-as-a-second language, it's much more difficult. Makes sense though doesn't it, because I spend more time talking with folks from my own region.

Shows his predator mentality. He's very scary because he's such a great manipulator.

@@peixa79 yes predator is the right word for it. Still don't think he's responsible for anyone dying though, just that only somebody abusive would use the fact that they've struggled in life Ike they are the problem for attracting abusers is really scary

Bringing up their struggles can have relevance because it suggests underlying issues, though i find the idea of them being prone to dying prematurely a bit dramatic, but issues nonetheless. It certainly can be used against someone to undermine their credibility as a witness, but the fact that there is some truth to it like you also mentioned by suggesting they die prematurely, which presupposes a handful of issues if that was the case.

They do go into detail if you watch the full interview. During that interview, he still defends "groping", as Piers calls it, versus "making a pass at someone." And he continues to insist on that distinction throughout the interview

This whole interview is full of distancing techniques.

@@LindaC616 Thank you for clearing that up.

@@NinStardust It seems like it. I can't tell 100% though. I'm not just going to throw him under the bus because he's a Hollywood guy. Yes, he has an accuser who was VERY underage when he made a pass at him, which is pretty horrible (I don't care about the gender dynamic), but until I see hard evidence that he physically assaulted someone, those things are certainly bad, but I'm not ready to call him a total piece of garbage. He's gay, and is into guys. Fine. As long as he's not forcing himself on kids, I don't care. If he made a pass at a kid, I'm not throwing him in prison and throwing away the key, but I've got my eye on him. I'm not 100% sure on the specifics of the situation with the 15 year old. If he actually touched the kid, that's a big no-no and chuck him in jail with the rest of the turds. That's unacceptable. Usually in these cases, you don't need to see ID to know someone is underage. If I saw some girls at a party, I could probably guess within a few years what their ages were and at the very least, whether they were adults or not. Or at least, I'd probably know whether or not to be suspicious. It's weird. I hate that R. Kelly sold a bunch of records via download the day he went to prison and Michael Jackson was never found guilty (though I go either way on that) and his career was basically over as a recording artist after the first trial. So I guess society has decided if you assault an underage girl, that's "understandable," but the fact that someone's going after a boy and they're the same gender, that's suddenly a problem. I knew plenty of girls in grade 9 who would have loved to have been chatted up by their PE teacher. I heard them gushing about him. It still doesn't make it right or legal.

Wow, I really respect your response and can relate to it... when you said that you were angry with both him and his accusers because you had thought the world of him as both a person and an actor... that's how I felt at first with Bill Cosby and Johnny Depp (as well as Kevin Spacey)... With Bill Cosby, I believe (through the facts and evidence) that he 'did the thing(s)' and is guilty and I'm left with profound disappointment and disgust. With Johnny Depp, I watched the entire trial, saw and heard all the evidence and am overwhelmingly convinced that he has serious drug and alcohol issues that he is or has been dealing with, but despite that, he is a very good human being and did not do any of the things that he was accused of... and on the flip side of that, Amber Heard was clearly the abuser... So far as Kevin Spacey goes, the fact that he's willing to air all of the dirty laundry by taking legal action (and winning), I think he's being genuine and truthful. But unlike JD, I think he does have an arrogant past and many more personal faults and I do think that all that has happened has caused him to sincerely reflect upon himself and try to make positive changes... I think time will tell, but I'm with you in giving him the benefit of the doubt for now and, as you said, "respect gained but not fully restored". Note: I take the part about being angry with the accusers as not whether or not they are telling the truth (because in Bill Cosby's case, they were telling the truth), it's an anger more at the situation in that it shatters your perspective and makes you angry at having to contemplate whether or not you've been duped by this person you've looked up to... it's like the old saying, "don't shoot the messenger"... not sure if that explains it very well (or even makes sense)... or you may have an entirely different meaning than that.

Just strengthen and fine tune your audible ability. Cut one sense improve another. May even discover new methods of telling body language based on sound!

Yeah, I will often listen only to KZfaq videos, and do other things at the same time. Never with Spidey! 😂 I have to save his videos for times when I can pay FULL attention to both sound and video. I feel your pain!

Kevin didn’t say he never saw Saving Private Ryan. Piers said it, Kevin confirmed it, Kevin didn’t choose to say much of anything here but he addressed the whole thing in great detail in his interview with Dan Wootton, if you haven’t seen it, check it out, a lot of great info there.

Absolutely correct! Very common for people who are defending themselves against a mob. Great note 😊

That’s a great assumption and possibility, this is why we look for clusters, lint picking is not an indication of deception it’s an indication of distraction and stress, we can speculate every reason that may happen but when 10 other things are suddenly happening that can be related to stress, we now have a cluster worth examining. 😊

Gotcha. I didn't realize the clusters started before the lint picking

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the little game and I agree with you so much. This is a great example of nuance in the real world, the man isn’t a saint but there seems to be some real reflection about his past behaviors.

​@@TheBehavioralArtsI'm not buying a word of it. I can feel in my body when someone is being genuine. This guy is not.

hey there, I have talked about this in other videos and elsewhere in the comments of this video but... it is a misconception that actors study body language or have any training to make certain expressions. When you see a great actor look perfectly angry in a movie the reason it looks great is because they actually ARE angry, that's the real them, that's what good acting is. No actor deliberately thinks "let me make sure to open up my eyes and clench my jaw to look angry" that would look way too fake. They bring real life experiences into the roles. It would be insanely difficult and obvious if with every question he tried to channel what the answer to that question is supposed to look like, this isnt a scene where hes playing off the energy of other actors and getting into a specific character. I mean look at the part where he's reacting to the guy talking about when they went to the movies, do you think he's deliberately acting that stressed and nervous? Why not use his acting superpowers to hide that insane amount of fidgeting.

@@TheBehavioralArtsthanks for responding. This is something I’ve thought about in the past concerning actors. 👍

Thanks 😊. You can! Just keep practicing you have infinite opportunities every day 🤗

It's really not that hard when you base your uncertainty on the fact that he won all the court cases

More like “whatever”

I saw it as a “can you believe this guy?” Especially when he looked over to someone/something out of shot.

I think he’s being deliberately dismissive. It emphasises the fact that she means less than nothing to him. “Ms Maxwell” would imply respect, which some people might argue could prove the existence of a connection or basic relationship. Saying “That Maxwell woman” is another way to distance himself from her.

wow love this! Can it be two birds with one stone? He doesn't know how to pronounce the name AND he chooses verbiage that dismisses any respect for her?

@@TheBehavioralArts could be!

@@TheBehavioralArtsAgreed. As you were talking about it, I was thinking that the answer was probably “some of both” - both distancing (he doesn’t want to be connected to her in ANY way, which is understandable), AND not knowing how to pronounce her first name correctly (as is true for most of the world including me!).

I feel like mispronouncing her name would have helped his case. "That Maxwell woman" sounds fake and deliberate.

English is my first language 😊. I speak fluent French but was raised in English, highschool was French but nothing before that.

@@TheBehavioralArts I do hear something in your speech, however. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@@Ladybug211211 Hunh. It’s probably the local accent. Like even if English is my first language the dialect in English speakers in Quebec might still be different 🤷‍♂️ 🤗

@@TheBehavioralArtsprobably. It’s super noticeable when you speak French, which you do extremely well to my non-French-Speaking ear (though I have SUNG in French, so there’s that.) I did most of my growing up in Rochester, NY. My grandparents (both sets) lived in Michigan. I once had a voice teacher who asked me if *I* was from Michigan. 😂 So, obviously there are those among us that can pick up on those subtle audio accent cues the way you pick up on subtle body language cues. I’m not THAT good, but there is something in the way you speak that, were I asked to ID where you were from, blindfolded (and before I “knew” you), I’d have probably guessed northeastern US. Not sure I’d have caught Canada, though I did spend one summer at a horse camp near Québec, so maybe. (My dad flew us there in a small plane, and didn’t speak French, so there were some extremely tense moments while we were landing and taking off! 😂) I certainly wouldn’t have guessed any other English speaking country besides US and Canada, nor would I have guessed the US Southern states, Midwest, or Northern seaboard states. Knowing your showbiz background, I might have guessed California, though, or even Las Vegas, since both tend to be melting pot accents. But you’ve got the “Great Northern Vowel Shift” and the slightly “flattened” vowels of the sorts of people I grew up around, so I probably would have guessed somewhere around upstate NY, Ohio, or Lake Ontario-ish. 😊 I suppose we’ll never know, now, though! 🤣
