Kevin Spacey’s defense team called Elton John and his husband, David Furnish, as witnesses as they tried to discredit the story of one accuser.
, as witnesses as they tried to discredit the story of one accuser, whose allegation includes an incident that supposedly occurred on the way to John and Furnish’s annual summer gala.
One of Spacey’s four accusers has said that, in the early 2000s, he was driving with Spacey to John’s White Tie & Tiara Ball when the actor allegedly grabbed his genitals so hard that the man said he nearly crashed the car. The complainant said he believed the event occurred in either 2004 or 2005, but Spacey and his defense team have refuted that timeframe in an effort to cast doubt on the man’s claims.
Furnish testified first, saying that Spacey only appeared in photographs from the 2001 event. He also said it was easy to remember Spacey’s attendance because he showed up unannounced and was coming off his 2000 Best Actor Oscar win. “He was an Oscar-winning actor, and there was a lot of buzz and excitement that he was at the ball,” Furnish said.
John, meanwhile, said he remembered Spacey attending the ball in 2001 and recalled the actor arriving on a private jet and dressed in white tie. When pressed on whether or not he knew Spacey came straight from the private jet to the ball, John replied, “I assume so, yes. I don’t think he was wearing white tie on a commercial flight” .
Additionally, John recalled that Spacey purchased a car as part of the charity auction benefitting the Elton John AIDS Foundation. He also said the actor spent the night at their house after the gala and had never visited their home on any other occasion.
