Bryan Singer is defending himself again…
The controversial film director responded on Wednesday morning to a damning new report out in The Atlantic, accusing him of sexual misconduct against four underage boys in accusations that stem all the way back to the late 1990s.

Now, Singer has released a response to the report, with a representative sending this lengthy denial to Deadline (below):
“The last time I posted about this subject, Esquire magazine was preparing to publish an article written by a homophobic journalist who has a bizarre obsession with me dating back to 1997. After careful fact-checking and, in consideration of the lack of credible sources, Esquire chose not to publish this piece of vendetta journalism. That didn’t stop this writer from selling it to The Atlantic. It’s sad that The Atlantic would stoop to this low standard of journalistic integrity. Again, I am forced to reiterate that this story rehashes claims from bogus lawsuits filed by a disreputable cast of individuals willing to lie for money or attention. And it is no surprise that, with Bohemian Rhapsody being an award-winning hit, this homophobic smear piece has been conveniently timed to take advantage of its success.”
Wow…
Whether the accusations against Singer are true or not, that’s certainly a strong denial — and it harkens back to the LONG history of Singer being accused of (and denying) sexual misconduct.
