“X-Men” director Bryan Singer is being accused of drugging, raping, and using his power to exploit a teenage boy in a lawsuit filed Wednesday, according to court documents obtained by TheWrap.

According to the lawsuit filed in federal court in Hawaii, plaintiff Michael Egan, who was named in a press release by his lawyers, was 17 when he was forcibly sodomized by Singer, among other accusations.

Defendant, BRYAN JAY SINGER, manipulated his power, wealth, and position in the entertainment industry to sexually abuse and exploit the underage Plaintiff through the use of drugs, alcohol, threats, and inducements which resulted in Plaintiff suffering catastrophic psychological and emotional injuries. Defendant Singer did so as part of a group of adult males similarly positioned in the entertainment industry that maintained and exploited boys in a sordid sex ring. A Hollywood mogul must not use his position to sexually exploit underage actors.

An attorney for Singer said the lawsuit was “completely without merit.”

That's terrible.

wow

[badgate]

Wow if this true it means I no longer dislike Halle Berry for ruining X-Men 3.

Holy sh**t, what the bloody hell is up with this?

Really? I thought that was totally fine.

Isn't Singer the guy who people criticize for making movies that only appeal to twelve year old boys?

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I'm glad to see guilty until proven innocent is alive and well.

I concur with JDB. Allegations are allegations until proven in court. That might very well be some guy needing money to pay his dope, or real facts.

Let's trust justice and stop libelling people here.

You may be thinking of Brett Ratner.

A quick google reveals that Singer's had sketchy rumours for years. Doesn't mean he's guilty of this, but you can see why people would assume so.

Anyway, as far as I can tell Hollywood is as bad or worse than the Catholic church as far as this particular topic goes, so maybe we'll see it all crumble.

There will be a documentary made about Hollywood sex system, Bryan Singer's life will be documented.

While I think Singer is guilty of holding outrageous gay sex parties with young men, I don't think he's a rapist.

A 17 year old who willing goes to not just one of these things but apparently attended a few of Singer's (and apparently Roland Emmerich's) parties and did drugs every time probably should know what was going to happen to him. If he really felt in danger or exploited, he should've not attended or gone to the police after the first incident. The fact that he waited 15 years to do this says a lot to me, too.

He's probably just interested in money because his aspiring acting career didn't work out.

I guess it's a positive for gender equality that victim-blaming doesn't happen only to women these days? :/

Also, it's sad to see the rest of the forum prude brigade lament this as a crime. Clearly shows how much this forum lacks opebo's presence.

I honestly forgot that they were different humans.

I guess we should just throw out due process for sexual assault and make it an auto-guilty.

As Gustaf aptly pointed out, that was hardly the gist of your original post.
