"Nobody's going to believe you." - Bryan Singer's Accusers Speak Out [The Atlantic]

On December 7, 2017, three days after The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of Singer's firing, a Seattle man named Cesar Sanchez-Guzman filed a lawsuit against the director, alleging that Singer had raped him in 2003, when Sanchez-Guzman was 17. The day after that, Deadline Hollywood published an interview with a former boyfriend of Singer's, Bret Tyler Skopek, in which Skopek described a lifestyle of drugs and orgies.

According to multiple sources, Fox had no idea that the Sanchez-Guzman lawsuit was coming when the studio fired Singer. Still, Sanchez-Guzman's claims shouldn't have been much of a surprise. Almost from the moment his star began to rise, Singer, who is now 53, has been trailed by allegations of sexual misconduct. These allegations were so well known that 4,000 students, faculty members, and alumni at the University of Southern California had signed a petition asking the school to take Singer's name off one of its programs, the Bryan Singer Division of Cinema and Media Studies—which the school did immediately after Sanchez-Guzman filed his suit. As one prominent actor told us, "After the Harvey Weinstein news came out, everyone thought Bryan Singer would be next."

This isn't really breaking news as much as it is a super comprehensive article with sources/interviews. I think the most fucked up part about the whole thing is that "Singer is making a new $10mm film now. It's protagonist is a sexual assault victim".

Full article on The Atlantic - def word a read.

Discuss.

As awful as the things he's ("allegedly") done are, I think this is overall a positive moment since more and more progress is being made to purge Hollywood of its sex criminal underbelly.
