Just days after production on the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody was halted due to Bryan Singer's unexplained absence -- and subsequent firing -- the director is once again facing accusations for sexually assaulting an underage boy.
This new lawsuit, filed in Seattle, alleges that Singer demanded sex from Cesar Sanchez-Guzman, 17 at the time, during a yacht party in 2003. According to the lawsuit, when the boy refused, Singer pushed him onto a bed and sexually assaulted him.
A representative for the director told The New York Times that Singer denies the allegations.
Singer has faced similar accusations before. In 2014, a lawsuit was filed in Hawaii, claiming Singer repeatedly drugged, raped, threatened and sodomized Michael Egan, who was 17 at the time. Several other accusers came forward, but settled out of court. Egan was dropped by his lawyer when he refused to take the money. However, Egan's experiences are documented, along with those of other child actors, in the Hollywood pedophilia documentary An Open Secret.
Another lawsuit against Singer was filed anonymously in Los Angeles by a U.K. resident in May 2014, alleging in 2006 when the complainant was 14, he was supplied with drugs and alcohol by a producer, who then introduced him to Singer. The lawsuit alleges that the producer and Singer grabbed him in a sexual manner.
Last month Jessica Chastain also called attention to the allegations that have followed Singer for years while talking about her support for victims of sexual assault in Hollywood.
Singer continues to deny all the allegations and has not yet been charged. ~Hayley Michaud
it would be No loss if ALL snowflake Californians Disappeared the World would celebrate :)
Let me get this straight Kevin Spacey is caught and deserved to be for doing this for decades and this guy is still working and as yet not investigated and charged? People have accused and known Singer to be doing this his entire career and nothing has happened to him except being fired from this film. If there is anyone it sounds like people should be going after it's this guy based on what's come out before.
GD: Kevin Spacey was still in the act when he was exposed so it's easier to nail him. The accusations against Singer are very old so it's much harder. The more people that come forward the more confidence victims will gain. We haven't seen the last of Singers accusers.
