New Sexual Misconduct Accusations Against 'Bohemian Rhapsody' Director
by EG
Bryan Singer has been accused by more men of having sex with them when they were underage. Singer has faced similar accusations before, and he was fired from the production of Bohemian Rhapsody for alleged unprofessional conduct. Read on for details.
Bryan Singer has been accused by four more men of having sex with them when they were underage in a bombshell expose in The Atlantic published Wednesday.
Over a 12 month investigation, the journalists say they spoke to more that 50 sources, including four men who have never spoken about their experiences with Singer before. One individual claimed that, at the age of 17, he had sex with the director at Singer’s house in 1997. Another claimed that he and Singer had sex the same year in a Beverley Hills mansion, when he was just 15. Both assert that Singer, who was then in his early 30s, knew that they were under the age of 18 and therefore below the age of consent in California.
"The accusations against Singer cover a spectrum," The Atlantic story emphasized. "Some of the alleged victims say they were seduced by the director while underage; others say they were raped. The victims we interviewed told us these experiences left them psychologically damaged, with substance-abuse problems, depression, and PTSD."
One of the people the magazine spoke with said that Singer and his friends had people who brought them boys. "If you weren’t young and cute enough to be their boy, you could still ingratiate yourself by bringing boys to them," he is quoted as saying.
The allegations made in The Atlantic come as Singer's professional reputation has been called into question after he was fired during the production of Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody in December 2017. Executives at 20th Century Fox came to the decision after escalating tensions between Singer and actor Rami Malek caused by the former's frequent unexplained absences from set. Singer denied all allegations of unprofessional behavior and claimed Fox refused to allow him to tend to "a gravely ill parent" as well as to his own health.
