A Nevada man braved the media spotlight Thursday to publicly accuse “X-Men” director Bryan Singer of being a super villain who repeatedly sexually abused him when he was a vulnerable teen hoping to find fame in Tinseltown.
Michael Egan III, 31, charges that the filmmaker was part of a Hollywood band of gay men that plied young boys with drugs and booze and used the boys’ desire to catch a break in the industry to exploit them as sex toys.
“You were a piece of meat to these people and they’d pass you around between them,” Egan said at a news conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.
“I can now stand in front of all of you today and say, I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse,” he added. “Some people don’t have a voice to say that. Some end up dead.”
Egan, whose lawyer filed suit against Singer in federal court Wednesday, was originally from Nebraska and came to Hollywood with his family in his mid-teens. His suit alleges that Singer sexually abused him between the ages of 15 and 17 in the late-1990s. The accusations include forced sodomy.
