What would Christmas Eve be without a message from me? He begins by saying actor Kevin Spacey in a video recorded especially for his YouTube channel, “1-800 XMAS”, through which he spreads a message of support and contention to those who “can’t find their way” and might come up with suicidal ideas, ideas that the actor lets be entertained as his own. It is worth remembering that the Oscar winner was denounced since 2016 by more than 20 men, some minors, who claimed to have suffered sexual abuse by him. Since then, he has faced several court cases that have made him one of the most rejected people in the world of Hollywood and the #MeToo.
“If you’re standing in a place where you can no longer stand, if you’re suffering, if you need help, if you feel guilty or embarrassed, if you’re struggling with your identity, if you have your back against the wall, or if you feel there’s no way for you, whatever your situation, I promise you there’s a way,” continues the video in which he admits to receiving many messages and requests for help from people with serious emotional problems.

I want to wish you all a merry Christmas and a great 2021. To all who are suffering: things get better. Happy holidays for everyone,” Spacey concludes.
