In a revealing interview with Piers Morgan on his YouTube show ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored,’ Kevin Spacey alleged that the plane used during a 2002 humanitarian trip to Africa, organized by then-President Bill Clinton, belonged to Jeffrey Epstein. 

Spacey recounted the eight-day journey across Ghana, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, and South Africa, noting that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were also on some of the flights, and young girls were present on the plane.

Spacey, who accepted Clinton's invitation to participate in the trip aimed at raising awareness and providing medication for HIV-positive mothers, emphasized that he was unaware of Epstein's involvement at the time. "I didn't know who Epstein was," Spacey stated. "My focus was entirely on the mission and the incredible work we were doing."

Reflecting on the presence of young girls on the flights, Spacey expressed his concern, saying, "I felt Epstein put the President at risk with those young girls on board. It was disturbing." He added, "There were young girls on those flights. I didn't understand at the time who they were or why they were there."

Spacey's recollection also highlighted the positive aspects of the trip, including a memorable meeting with Nelson Mandela. "We spent a day with Nelson Mandela, one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life," he said. However, the association with Epstein has cast a shadow over these memories.

Spacey also clarified his relationship with Epstein and Maxwell, stating, "I have no relationship with her [Maxwell]. I had no relationship with him [Epstein]. He's not my friend. I'm not a confidant. I've never spent time with him." He further explained, "Interestingly, I was very fortunate that President Clinton introduced me to a lot of business leaders in London, but I never asked for anything from Jeffrey Epstein. I didn't want to be around this guy because I felt he put the president at risk on that trip to South Africa."

The interview marks Spacey's first high-profile public appearance since his own legal battles began in 2017. Despite these challenges, Spacey has consistently denied the accusations and was found not liable in a 2022 lawsuit in New York. In a separate 2023 case in London, he was acquitted of sexual assault charges.
