Bryan Singer Accused Of Having Sex With Underage Boys
Bohemian Rhapsody director Bryan Singer is facing new allegations published in the Atlantic that he engaged in sexual misconduct with underage boys.
Four men have alleged that Bryan had sexual encounters with them when they were teenagers in the 1990s. Victor Valdovinos is one of them, and he says he was only 13 years old when Bryan allegedly fondled his genitals. The three other men shared their stories under pseudonyms.
One man says he had sex with Bryan when he was 15. Another says he was 17 when he began having sex with Bryan. And another alleges that he and the director had oral sex when he was 17 or 18.
“He would stick his hands down your pants without consent,” the fourth man told the Atlantic. “He was predatory in that he would ply people with alcohol and drugs and then have sex with them.”
Bryan recently took to Twitter in response:
“The last time I posted about this subject, Esquire magazine was preparing to publish an article written by a homophobic journalist who has a bizarre obsession with me dating back to 1997,” he tweeted. “After careful fact-checking and, in consideration of the lack of credible sources, Esquire chose not to publish this piece of vendetta journalism. That didn’t stop this writer from selling it to The Atlantic. It’s sad that The Atlantic would stoop to this low standard of journalistic integrity.”
Bryan added, “Again, I am forced to reiterate that this story rehashes claims from bogus lawsuits filed by a disreputable cast of individuals willing to lie for money or attention. And it is no surprise that, with Bohemian Rhapsody being an award-winning hit, this homophobic smear piece has been conveniently timed to take advantage of its success.”
