This is an unexpected wrinkle!
Last month Michael Egan stepped forward and accused several Hollywood big shots, including X-Men director Bryan Singer and former Disney TV President David Neuman, of sexually abusing him in the late ’90s.
We’ve now learned, however, that Michael’s current allegations seemingly contradict sworn testimony he gave in court over a decade ago!
See, in 2003, as part of a different lawsuit, Michael SWORE that the Disney exec had never acted inappropriately toward him.
In that statement, he admitted:
“David Neuman has never been present when I was involved in any type of sexual conduct, never harassed me, never made sexually suggestive remarks to me, and never acted improperly around me or toward me.”
Wow, that’s a far cry from what he’s saying now!
For that reason, David’s current lawyers are using this testimony to try and get the case against him dismissed!
In the 2003 lawsuit, Michael alleged that three men and three men only had abused him. None of those three men were Bryan Singer or David Neuman.
Since the beginning, for the record, Bryan singer has adamantly denied any inappropriate relationship with the accuser.
Do you think this new discovery of old evidence will tip the scales of justice in the X-Men director’s favor?
