But Spacey denied spending any time with Epstein, who committed suicide in his jail cell in 2019, after flying to South Africa on Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ for an eight-day humanitarian mission in 2002, according to the Daily Mail. He said he was working primarily with the “Clinton Foundation people” during the trip to Africa and added that he felt Epstein made him feel uncomfortable and could damage Clinton’s reputation.

“I didn’t want to be around this guy because I felt he put the president at risk on that trip to South Africa, because there were these young girls,” he recalled. “We were like, ‘Who is this guy?’

“There were young girls on those flights, yeah.”

Spacey, a two-time Oscar winner, made the admission during an interview on Piers Morgan’s Uncensored talk show that aired Tuesday on YouTube.

Spacey again said he didn’t know Epstein and only went on the mission to raise awareness and prevention of AIDS and HIV because the Clinton Foundation was involved. He said he has since learned who Epstein is and that it was his plane they flew on but it was Clinton who invited him on the trip.

“I didn’t know him,” Spacey told Morgan. “I have never spent any time with him.”

Spacey also denied visiting Epstein’s private Caribbean island, Little St. James, which has become infamous for the sex parties with underage girls hosted by the disgraced former financier.

“There’s a big difference between not remembering that I met some guy and some woman on a humanitarian trip where my focus was entirely on what we were there to do, and not remembering whether I went to somebody’s island,” he told Morgan.

Spacey also talked about a photo that surfaced featuring he and Epstein’s pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell, sitting on thrones at Buckingham Palace in London. He said the stop in London came after the trip to Africa and he was invited by Clinton, who had been asked to speak at a Labour Party conference by then Prime Minister Tony Blair.

“This Maxwell woman, she was one of many people to sit down next to me in that throne room,” Spacey said. “I have no relationship with her. I had no relationship with (Epstein). I mean he’s not my friend. I am not a confidant. I’ve never spent time with him.”

Maxwell, a former British socialite, was convicted of child sex trafficking and other offences and in 2022 was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Spacey, the former star of Netflix’s House of Cards, was essentially blacklisted by Hollywood after a number of accusations about improper behaviour came out. In 2017, he was sued by Anthony Rapp for sexual assault but was found not liable on all counts.

Then Spacey was accused of sexually assaulting four men between 2001 and 2013. He was acquitted in London on those charges in 2023.
