AceShowbiz - If Kevin Spacey's recent video makes you baffled, you're not the only one. Stars like Jon Favreau, Patricia Arquette and Rob Lowe have reacted to the bizarre video which sees the embattled actor reprising his "House of Cards" character Frank Underwood to address numerous sexual assault allegations against him.
Taking to Twitter, they mocked the 59-year-old who appeared to criticize the #MeToo movement in the video. Favreau wrote, "Is Kevin Spacey using Donald Trump's legal team now?"

Also unimpressed by Spacey's reaction, Arquette tweeted, "I'm sure none of the men who were kids at the time of their sexual assaults appreciate @KevinSpacey 's weird video. No. Just No."
Anthony Rapp, who accused Spacey of making sexual advances in 1986 when he was just 14, agreed with her, simply responding to her tweet with "#truth."

Arquette's sister Rosanna Arquette chimed in, calling Spacey's video "absurd" and accusing the actor of losing his mind and lying. "Kevin spacey has apparently lost his mind what an absurd video..this is only the beginning," she wrote. "There are many more victims.. Epstein's island ..anyone ? What people don't get is ...that the truth will rise to the top. All Lying Bad guys may finish last ,but they're finished."

Spacey released the video on December 24, after he was charged with sexually assaulting ex-reporter Heather Unruh's son in Nantucket, Massachusetts in July 2016 when he was 18 years old. He didn't directly respond to the accusations, but implied that he's not guilty until proven otherwise.
"I know you what you want. You want me back," Spacey says in the clip. "Of course, some believed everything and have just been waiting with bated breath to hear me confess it all. They're just dying to have me declare that everything said is true and what I got what I deserved... But you wouldn't believe the worst without evidence, would you? You wouldn't rush to judgments without facts, would you?"
