Following Kevin Spacey’s courthouse address, Nicki Swift asked Jess Ponce III, body language expert, communication coach, and author of “A.W.E.S.O.M.E.,” about his thoughts on the actor’s behavior. “In many ways, Kevin Spacey’s address resembled an award show acceptance speech,” he exclusively told Nicki Swift. “He affectionately hugged and kissed someone before leaving the building, which is similar to what he may do in the audience before approaching the stage.” Ponce also described Spacey as having “a bit of swagger in his gate” before stating that he didn’t appear to have remorse or a sense of self-reflection about the situation.
“He then immediately pulled attention to himself, his experience and what HE is processing, making himself the center of attention, quite possibly playing on the audience’s sense of empathy,” he said. While Ponce III highlighted Spacey’s emotional reaction after mentioning his legal team, he felt that the speech was “heavily prepared” and PR-centred. “He was polished and scripted. Not once did he mention the plaintiff or make accusations,” he added. “This is all about him. What we saw was an actor in full actor mode.” The aforementioned verdict comes a year after Spacey was cleared of sexual abuse charges regarding actor Anthony Rapp. In a 2017 interview with Buzzfeed, the “Rent” star accused the “Seven” actor of making unwanted sexual advances toward him when he was 14. In October 2022, a jury sided with Spacey, stating that Rapp lacked proof for his allegations, per NPR.
