Spacey thanked fans for their generosity but emphasized it would have been “disingenuous” to let them believe he was homeless. He concluded by expressing appreciation for the “kindness” fans had shown him.

“I’m living in hotels, I’m living in Airbnbs, I’m going where the work is. I literally have no home, that’s what I’m attempting to explain,” he said.
