A Shocking Investigation into Bryan Singer's History of Preying on Underage Boys
In a groundbreaking report by The Atlantic, Bryan Singer, the director of Bohemian Rhapsody, has been exposed for his alleged abuse of multiple men, many of whom were minors at the time of the incidents.
The investigation paints a disturbing picture of Singer as a troubled individual who surrounded himself with vulnerable teenage boys, according to authors Alex French and Maximillian Potter.
The first victim to come forward is Victor Valdovinos, who claims that Singer molested him while he was working as an extra on the director's second film, Apt Pupil.
Valdovinos reflects on how this traumatic experience has forever altered the course of his life.
He questions what he could have become if not for the abuse, pondering whether he would be more successful or even married.
Fearful of not being believed, Valdovinos chose to remain silent and did not join the wave of accusations against Harvey Weinstein during the #MeToo movement.
Singer gained notoriety in gay Hollywood for hosting wild pool parties filled with young men who appeared to be high school students.
One individual, known as Ben, recounts being introduced to Singer at the age of 17 or 18 and then being passed around among the adults in Singer's social circle.
Ben reveals that Singer would engage in non-consensual activities, taking advantage of young men under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
However, Ben clarifies that it was not a situation of physical force or rape.
The investigation further uncovers Singer's involvement with Digital Entertainment Network (DEN), a company he contributed to.
Although DEN initially aimed to produce entertainment for gay teenagers, it allegedly became a platform for Hollywood executives to exploit underage boys.
DEN even rented out a movie theater exclusively for screening p0rn0 to underage boys, explicitly stating that it was “kids only.”
Andy, a man who met Collins-Rector at the age of 14, shares his experience of being involved in a s**ual relationship with him.
He recalls being present when Singer had s** with him in front of actor Brad Renfro, who was then told by Singer that he was his boyfriend.
Singer's modus operandi appears to revolve around enticing teenagers with promises of fame, fortune, and fun, only to exploit them s**ually and remind them of their powerlessness against influential figures.
Eric, another victim, describes himself as being passed around like a party favor between Singer and his associates.
He states that he was 17 years old when Singer engaged in s**ual acts with him.
Later, Eric leveraged his connection with Singer to secure an internship that kick-started his career in Hollywood.
Despite putting on a brave face, Eric spent a decade in therapy questioning whether what happened to him was truly wrong and if he was to blame.
He concludes that adults should have protected vulnerable children.
Michael Egan, who alleges he was assaulted by Singer starting at the age of 15, later filed a lawsuit against the director and his associates.
However, inconsistencies in his memory and subsequent legal issues undermined his case.
Exploiting the symptoms of trauma has become a common defense strategy to discredit victims, as highlighted by The Atlantic.
During the production of Bohemian Rhapsody, Singer faced a lawsuit from Cesar Sanchez-Guzman, who claimed that he was raped by the director in 2003.
After the alleged assault, Singer allegedly approached Sanchez-Guzman with a grotesque smile, telling him that nobody would believe his story.
Rami Malek, the lead actor in Bohemian Rhapsody, expressed his unawareness of the allegations against Singer and hopes that audiences can still appreciate the film despite the director's alleged predatory behavior.
However, this raises the question of how to reconcile the pain endured by the victims with the celebration of a film's success through prestigious awards.
In response to The Atlantic's report, Singer issued a statement through a representative, dismissing the claims as rehashing allegations from false lawsuits filed by individuals seeking attention or financial gain.
Singer accuses the article of being a homophobic smear piece conveniently timed to exploit the success of Bohemian Rhapsody.
