At a certain point, I just want to get back to work, Spacey told NewsNations Chris Cuomo .
The disgraced actor has faced anumber of sexual misconduct accusations from several men since 2017 after Anthony Rapp told BuzzFeed that Spacey made a sexual advance on him when he was 14.
A New York jury found Spacey not liable in Rapps $40 million sexual misconduct lawsuit against the actor back in 2022 .
He was also acquitted of sexual assault charges in a London trial last July.
Personally speaking, our industry needs him and misses him greatly, Neeson said.
Spacey, who noted the impact of the #MeToo movement, told Cuomo that he thinks the pendulum has swung very far in the direction of unfairness for a whole lot of people.

I mean, I know you had your own issues, and Im glad to see that youve been offered a path back, said Spacey in an apparent reference to Cuomo facing a sexual misconduct accusation himself in 2021.
But we have to also be careful to make sure that the pendulum now doesnt swing so far in the other direction.
Cuomo noted that the difference with Spacey is he went to trial where U.S. and U.K. prosecutors assessed allegations against him.

Some were dealt with civilly, and others may still be dealt with civilly, but in terms of what was worthy of real cancellation, which is criminal assessment, you won. But for people, thats not enough, Cuomo said. So, how do you believe you get to a better place? Theres no book. There are no rules. ... Whats your best sense about what you need to present to get back in, or uncanceled, as your friends say?
Spacey called for media outlets to pursue honest journalism about him before noting that he has to work very hard on rebuilding the trust that some may have lost in me.
