Kevin Spacey Responds to Guy Pearce Allegations: ‘Grow Up’
Kevin Spacey has responded to comments made by Guy Pearce about his behavior while on set of the 1997 neo-noir crime film L.A. Confidential, saying that Pearce should “grow up” and wasn’t a victim.
In a video post on X on Monday, Spacey addressed the comments, saying (via The Hollywood Reporter) that Pearce could have addressed any issues he had with Spacey while on set or at a later date.

We can even do it here, live on X, if you like. I’ve got nothing to hide. But Guy — you need to grow up. You are not a victim.”
