Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday won the endorsement of a Hollywood star facing new allegations of sexual misconduct.
Kevin Spacey came to X to cheer on the independent presidential candidate and promote their friendship.
‘There is a lot I can learn from this man. When the world turned its back on me, Bobby leaned in,” Spacey shared.
“He is a formidable fighter for justice and a loyal friend who is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in,” added the former House of Cards actor.
Spacey’s nod to RFK Jr. comes as the actor rejects allegations made by 10 men in the upcoming Channel 4 documentary Spacey Unmasked, which premieres in the UK on Monday and Tuesday.

On Monday, Spacey praised RFK Jr. as a “loyal friend” who “leaned in” while several men accused him of sexual misconduct. Spacey shared a 30-minute biographical video of Kennedy narrated by Woody Harrelson
Actor Ruari Cannon, who appears in the documentary, said the newspaper i that Spacey touched it in a “very intimate way” at a press night for an Old Vic theater production in 2013.
Spacey called the accusation “ridiculous” and denied it ever happened.
The actor also insisted that he never offered professional help to anyone in exchange for sex.
“I take full responsibility for my past behavior and actions,” Spacey told reporter Dan Wootton. “But I cannot and will not accept responsibility or apologize to anyone who has made things up about me or exaggerated stories about me.”
The House of Cards star had previously been cleared of a series of sexual offenses alleged by four men in the UK that took place between 2001 and 2013.
Additionally, Spacey won a legal victory in a civil lawsuit brought by Anthony Rapp, who accused Spacey of making a sexual advance toward the Rent actor when he was 14 years old in 1986.
A 2022 jury determined that Spacey did not abuse Rapp and was not responsible.
Of the men featured in the documentary, none were part of the British legal case and nine out of 10 had never spoken out before.
On Monday, ahead of the new documentary’s release, Spacey reshared an X post from RFK Jr. highlighting a new video about the independent candidate narrated by actor Woody Harrelson and funded by a Kennedy-aligned PAC.
Kennedy’s campaign did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment on Spacey’s endorsement.
Plus, Spacey isn’t the only problematic celebrity in RFK Jr.’s orbit.
Next week, Russell Brand will headline a comedy event for the campaign in Nashville, Tennessee.
Brand has been accused of sexual assault and inappropriate workplace behavior by women during the years from 2006 to 2013, when he was at the peak of his fame.
Entourage actor Jeremy Piven, accused of sexual assault, harassment and misconduct by eight women in 2017 and 2018, was a surprise guest at a similar event for the Kennedy campaign in Los Angeles in February.
