Kevin Spacey Addresses Those Who Are Struggling in Christmas Eve Video

Kevin Spacey has shared another Christmas Eve video on YouTube, the third consecutive year that he’s posted such a clip to his channel.

Called 1-800 XMAS, this video is slightly bleaker than previous years, where Spacey shows empathy to those who are enduring hardships during the holiday season.

“If you’re standing in a place that you can no longer remain standing, if you’re suffering, if you need help, if you feel guilt or shame, if you’re struggling with your identity, if your back’s up against the wall, or if you feel that there is no path for you, whatever your situation, I promise you there is a path,” he said. “At this time during this holiday and beyond, even if you don’t feel it, there are people out there who understand and who can help, because you are not alone.”

Spacey launched the now annual series in 2018 amid a court case in which he was accused of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old man in Massachusetts in 2016. In the first video, he assumed his House of Cards role of Frank Underwood to deliver a message about being ousted from the show and the sexual assault allegations.

“All this presumption made for such an unsatisfying ending and to think it could have been such a memorable send off,” he said in the tone-deaf 2018 video. “I can promise you this: If I didn’t pay the price for the things we both know I did, I’m certainly not going to pay the price for the things I didn’t do.”
