Wtf!! A lawsuit filed Wednesday in a Hawaii federal court alleges that X-Men: Days of Future
Past director Bryan Singer drugged and raped a teenage boy, according to court
documents.
"Defendant Bryan Jay Singer manipulated his power, wealth and position in the
entertainment industry to sexually abuse and exploit the underage plaintiff through the
use of drugs, alcohol, threats and inducements, which resulted in plaintiff suffering
catastrophic psychological and emotional injuries," the documents, obtained by The
Wrap , said.
Michael Egan, the plaintiff, alleges the abuse began in 1998, often taking place at
"notorious parties" at a mansion in Encino, Calif., where his friend Scott Shackley and
older brother Chad Shackley lived. Marc Collins-Rector, former chairman of the now-
defunct Digital Entertainment Network and a registered sex offender , also allegedly lived
at the house, called M & C Estate. Egan was placed on DEN's payroll as an actor "in an
attempt to manipulate his compliance with the sexual demands" of adults who visited M
& C Estate, including Singer, according to court documents.
Collins-Rector and Chad frequently hosted the parties, which many young boys attended,
the documents claim. Drugs and alcohol were allegedly given to the boys, who would
engage in sexual contact with the men at the parties.
When Egan was 17, he was allegedly flown to Hawaii multiple times in 1999, according
to documents. There, Singer allegedly drugged and "anally raped" Egan, and forced Egan
to perform oral sex on him, among other allegations.
Egan, who identifies as heterosexual, also claims in the documents that Collins-Rector
and Chad said they knew he was homosexual. Egan also alleges the two made threats
against him and his family:
He was advised that those adult males [who visited M & C Estate] controlled
Hollywood and would destroy his hopes and dreams of an acting career if he
did not keep them happy. They threatened to "eliminate" him and his family,
and told him that they were monitoring not only his phone, but those of his
family members, and asserted he would be "destroyed" if he ever disclosed the
unconscionable activities that occurred at the estate.
Egan is seeking an unspecified amount of damages for intentional infliction of
emotional distress, battery, assault and invasion of privacy by unreasonable intrusion.
Singer, 48, recently directed X-Men: Days of Future Past , which is scheduled to arrive in
theaters next month.
