I'm not sure any of that makes sense.
He was an extremely well paid actor for a couple of decades. Is he claiming he doesn't have enough for a comfortable retirement, and is singing to pay the bills? I don't believe that for a second.

Dirty secret about Hollywood actors is that their income can be fairly infrequent, but they often end up basing their lifestyles off their peak incomes, and a lot of them can end up in serious debt as their careers taper off. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, if true for Spacey.

TIL this phrase is always ironic! I was wondering what news I missed about Spacey's name being cleared.

is it always ironic?

Homeless people are more important than this clown.

Stop siding with aggressors over victims…

A civil jury sided with Spacey over Rapp, but those allegations prompted others to accuse Spacey of improper behavior.

No criminal or civil court has ever found Spacey guilty or liable of any sexual crimes or misdeeds.

It helps to avoid convictions when all your accusers keep getting murdered
