In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey broke down in tears as he revealed his financial struggles. He disclosed that his Baltimore home is being foreclosed on and he owes ‘many millions’ of dollars in legal fees from sexual misconduct trials. Spacey also expressed uncertainty about his current living situation, noting that he has lived in Baltimore since 2012. His financial woes come amid ongoing legal battles stemming from allegations made against him during the #MeToo movement.

During the trial, the defense team for former US President Donald Trump questioned the credibility of pornstar Stormy Daniels’ testimony, alleging that her account of an alleged sexual encounter with Trump has been inconsistent and was motivated by financial gain. Daniels, who had previously signed a non-disclosure agreement to receive hush money, acknowledged that her story had evolved over time but maintained that the core details of her encounter with Trump remained the same. The defense attorney, Susan Necheles, highlighted discrepancies in Daniels’ account from her initial disclosure to her book narrative, as well as her admission that she had sold her story for profit. The prosecution, however, pointed to Daniels’ acknowledgment of entering a non-disclosure agreement and accepting hush money, emphasizing her safety concerns as the primary reason for her initial silence.

The trial continues, with the potential for a guilty verdict that could impact Trump’s political aspirations.
