Kevin Spacey‘s getting back into the public eye after his acquittal in London last summer … and a lot of people are none too happy about it — which they’re making quite clear.
Here’s the deal … the controversial actor’s scheduled to appear at Mad Monster Party 2024 in North Carolina next month — a three-day convention dedicated to all things horror/pop culture. Other stars like Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Taryn Manning, Jason Patric and more are attending the event as well.
Clearly, organizers are jazzed at KS’ inclusion … touting his accolades and selling pro photo-ops for big money — no selfies allowed at the autograph table. If you want a pic, you’ll have to shell out $225.
The photo opportunities are themed too … Friday, Feb 16 they’ll set one up for “The Usual Suspects”-type pic, Saturday’s for “Se7en” and Sunday, Feb. 18 will see Kevin take “House of Cards” pics — basically, Spacey’s greatest hits.
Now, it didn’t take long for people to voice their outrage … with a good handful of folks saying in unequivocal terms they find the organizers reprehensible for giving Spacey a platform after all of the allegations leveled against him. Just check their comments.
In essence, a lot of fans don’t seem to care Kevin was acquitted last year on a host of charges — as we previously reported, Spacey was found not guilty of nine total counts based on a host of sexual assault allegations in a London court last year after a lengthy trial.
He’s also been sued in New York for a different alleged sexual assault … a massage therapist is claiming the 64-year-old made unwanted and inappropriate sexual advances toward him during three 90-minute sessions back in 2016.

The two-time Academy Award winner’s never been convicted of a crime for any of the allegations brought against him … and he’s denied any and all wrongdoing, FWIW.
