Sharon Stone is facing criticism for defending Kevin Spacey, who has been accused of sexual misconduct. Stone argues that Spacey, after years of therapy, should be allowed to return to work as he has apologized for his actions. She points out that Spacey's alleged victims being men is the reason for the backlash against him, contrasting it with her own experiences of harassment by men. Stone clarifies that she is not defending Spacey but advocating for second chances after rehabilitation. Spacey was acquitted of assault charges in 2023 but continues to face legal battles. Stone, who relates to being "canceled" in the past, supports Spacey's return to Hollywood, along with other stars like Liam Neeson and Stephen Fry. Stone emphasizes the need to differentiate between rehabilitation and cancel culture, expressing her desire to see Spacey's talent appreciated once again.
