When Bret Tyler Skopek first encountered Bryan Singer at a Halloween party in 2013, he had no idea who the man dressed as a Catholic priest was.
Skopek soon found himself involved with Singer, one of Hollywood’s top directors, and is now coming forward to share his story of exploitation and abuse within Singer’s circle.
Skopek describes being lured into Singer’s world of drugs, alcohol, and s**ual encounters with numerous young men.
His account is reminiscent of the stories depicted in the documentary “An Open Secret” and sheds light on the exploitation that often occurs in Hollywood.
Skopek arrived in Los Angeles with dreams of making it big in the entertainment industry.
However, he quickly became disillusioned by Singer’s promises of auditions and minor roles in X-Men movies that never materialized.
Instead, Skopek found himself trapped in a year-long relationship filled with s**ual demands from Singer.
Eventually, he left Los Angeles and moved to Texas, feeling exploited and unhappy.
Singer’s spokesperson responded to Skopek’s allegations by claiming that Skopek had asked Singer for money multiple times in the past, suggesting ulterior motives behind his coming forward.
However, Skopek’s story aligns with long-standing rumors surrounding Singer’s behavior and the exploitation of young men in the mutant franchise.
Singer was recently fired from the Queen biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody” after clashes with the film’s star and is now facing a lawsuit accusing him of rape and sodomy.
The allegations against Singer have also had repercussions for those associated with him.
USC’s School of Cinematic Arts has decided to remove Singer’s name from its program until the allegations against him are resolved.
Additionally, others connected to Singer, such as longtime friend Gary Goddard and former talent agent Tyler Grasham, have faced their own accusations of s**ual misconduct.
Skopek’s experience with Singer began when he received text messages from a middle-aged computer technician inviting him to lunch.
Unaware of the technician’s past arrest on charges of child exploitation, Skopek accepted the invitation and found himself at an apartment filled with young men, drugs, and music.
Skopek alleges that he was raped by the technician and subsequently introduced to prominent figures in the entertainment industry.
Skopek describes attending parties hosted by Singer and engaging in group s** with the director and other young men.
He paints a picture of a world where powerful men exploit and objectify young individuals for their own pleasure.
Skopek also witnessed Singer’s ability to manipulate others into joining him in his s**ual encounters, often using his influence as a director to cast potential partners in his films.
Despite occasional perks like visits to film sets and encounters with famous actors, Skopek struggled financially and emotionally.
He eventually decided to leave Los Angeles, but Singer offered him money to stay, furthering Skopek’s dependence on the director.
Now, Skopek is coming forward to share his story, hoping to shed light on the dark side of Hollywood.
His account serves as a reminder of the exploitation and abuse that can occur within the industry, particularly for young and vulnerable individuals seeking success.
