X-Men Director Bryan Singer Faces New Sexual Misconduct Reports Claiming Encounters With Underage Boys


It looks like X-Men director Bryan Singer is in trouble again, facing new sexual misconduct allegations, this time with underage boys.

According to The Atlantic, four mean have come out to claim that Singer had sexual encounters with all of them back when they were underage teens in the 90s. Victor Valdovinos, one of the alleged victims, says that Singer had groped him on Apt-Pupil's set. The other three victims have hidden their identity through pseudonyms. "Andy" claims that Singer had sex with him when he was 15. "Eric" on the other hand alleges that his sexual relationship with Singer began when he was 17 years old. Meanwhile, "Ben" says that he and the director had sex when he was around 17 to 18 years old. Aside from these reports, these men also claim that Singer sexually harassed them and that he had used drugs and alcohol to draw people to have sex with him.

While the credibility of these claims has yet to be confirmed, these reports serve as another heavy blow to Singer's reputation. Back in 2017, the filmmaker had been sued for allegedly sexually assaulting a certain Cesar Sanchez-Guzman when he was 17 years old back in 2003.

It doesn't help that the director's working reputation had also been tarnished after Fox decided to fire Singer from Bohemian Rhapsody for abandoning the Freddie Mercury Biopic's London set in December. He was soon replaced by Dexter Fletcher, and now, despite its troubled production, Bohemian Rhapsody's earned an Oscar Nomination for Best Picture at this year's Academy Awards.

Singer has yet to comment on the allegations made against him.
