Morrissey Vows To Never Do Print Interviews Again After Defending Kevin Spacey

Morrissey is done granting print interviews after his defense of “House of Cards” star Kevin Spacey and Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein was heavily lambasted by angry netizens.

The British singer and songwriter earlier told the German weekly news magazine Der Spiegel that the victims of Spacey and Weinstein “know exactly what’s going on” and that “they play[ed] along” to their advance, so it’s now difficult for big personalities to bare their feelings because it might be misconstrued as an unwanted sexual advance.

“Anyone who has ever said to someone else, ‘I like you,’ is suddenly being charged with sexual harassment,” he said.

In response, netizens did not mince words when they criticized his interview.

Now, Morrissey has come to his own defense. During his performance at Chicago’s Riviera Theatre on Saturday, he told fans to be wary of the media as he denied saying the things about Spacey and Weinstein.

“I did an interview a couple of weeks ago for a German newspaper and, of course, let me just say this: That was the last print interview I will ever do,” he said. “Unless you see the words form in my mouth and then you see or hear the words come out of my mouth… please, if you don’t see that, I didn’t say them.”

It was “Star Trek: Discovery” actor Anthony Rapp who opened a box of worms after he disclosed during an interview that Spacey sexually harassed him back in 1986.

After his allegation, several other men - including “House of Cards” crew members - have come forward with their own harrowing experiences with Spacey.

Former television news anchor Heather Unruh also accused Spacey of buying alcohol for her son in a bar in Nantucket, Massachusetts, in July 2016. Her son was only 18 years old at the time, and the drinking age in Massachusetts is 21.

After getting the boy drunk, Spacey then “stuck his hand inside my son's pants and grabbed his genitals,” she told BBC.

Unruh said Spacey invited her son to a party, but he ran away when the actor went to the lavatory. “Shame on you for what you did to my son. Your actions are criminal,” she tearfully said.
