Hot damn2018,Alanis (2017) we didn't think you could get any weirder. But oh man, were we ever wrong.
In what has to be one of the most bizarre PR moves of all time, disgraced actor Kevin Spacey released a three-minute YouTube video in which he appears to role play as Frank Underwood — his former part on House of Cardsbefore he was unceremoniously removed from the production following numerous allegations of sexual misconduct — shortly after news broke that he was charged with felony sexual assault.
The charge, laid out in a Cape and Islands District Attorney press release, concerns an alleged sexual assault of a teenage boy at a Nantucket restaurant in July 2016. Spacey is scheduled to be arraigned on Jan. 7, 2019.
"On December 20, 2018 following a public show cause hearing at Nantucket District Court, Clerk Magistrate Brian Kearney issued a criminal complaint of indecent assault and battery against Kevin S. Fowler, also known as Kevin Spacey," reads the release from the DA's office.
The video, titled "Let Me Be Frank," depicts Spacey appearing to cook while strange background noises suggest a party is happening off camera.

It's hard to wrap your head around how off this video is. Everything about it, from the script to the performance to the timing of its release, seems intentionally designed to make you ask what is Spacey thinking?
"If you and I have learned nothing else these past years, it's that in life and art nothing should be off the table," Spacey deadpans, apparently not realizing that, yes, sexual assault should be very much off the table.
SEE ALSO: How 'House of Cards' Season 6 fails its Madam PresidentWe reached out to Spacey's representative in an attempt to determine if this video is a direct response to the charges, or if the timing of the release was the worst coincidence of all time. We also wanted to know just who, exactly, thought this video was a good idea.
We received no response as of press time.
"Miss me?" Spacey asks the viewer at the end of the video. At least that question, unlike all the ones surrounding this video, can be answered.
No Kevin, we do not.
UPDATE: Dec. 24, 2018, 1:50 p.m. CST: This story has been updated to include a press release from the Cape and Islands District Attorney's office.
