Bryan Singer is a known director. His film X-Men: Days of Future Past is one of the most anticipated of the ongoing X-Men series. These days Bryan S is in a fix. Why? A legal document has been filed against the director by a certain Michael Egan in which he has accused Bryan S of ‘sexually exploiting’ him at a party in 1999. Of course, the director’s attorney has rubbished the accusation calling it ‘completely without merit’.

Now the question is: why did it take Michael E almost 15 years to recall an incident which, according to him, caused him psychological injuries? Did the injuries heal up in the interim period and all of a sudden recur like a nightmare?

In an unrelated (or perhaps related) news item, ABC has decided to re-edit promos for its forthcoming drama series Black Box of which Bryan S is an executive producer. The channel intends to remove his name from the credit list.

Man, what a cruel world we live in. One moment you are directing X-Men, the other moment you stand accused of molesting men!
