Bryan Singer Blasts “Sick and Twisted” Abuse Claims

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rumors,

Bryan Singer has hit back at ''sick and twisted'' claims he sexually abused a 15-year-old boy.

The X-Men: Days of Future Past director has broken his silence on a lawsuit filed last week by Michael F. Egan, 31, who claims he was forced to perform sex acts on the filmmaker at a Californian house party in the late 1990s after being plied with drugs and alcohol.

As a result of the allegations, Bryan, 48, has decided to bow out of the upcoming media tour to promote his blockbuster new X-Men movie, which stars a string of A-listers including Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence and Halle Berry.

"The allegations against me are outrageous, vicious and completely false. I do not want these fictitious claims to divert ANY attention from X-Men: Days of Future Past. This fantastic film is a labor of love and one of the greatest experiences of my career. So, out of respect to all of the extraordinary contributions from the incredibly talented actors and crew involved, I've decided not to participate in the upcoming media events for the film," Bryan said n a statement issued through his publicist.
