Bryan Singer’s Rape Accuser Involved In “Social Justice Documentary” About Hollywood Sex Abuse

Michael-Egan-bryan-singer-rape-documentaryMichael Egan, the 31-year-old accusing X-Men director Bryan Singer of routinely molesting him as a teenager, has been linked to an Oscar-nominated “social justice” documentary filmmaker working on a documentary about sex abuse in Hollywood.

Though it’s not entirely clear whether the recent allegations were made to directly drum up press for the upcoming flick, Amy Berg, the film’s director, confirmed to the Daily Mail that the film includes mention of Bryan Singer and that Egan has been working closely with her.

DM reports an unnamed source close to Egan initially spilled the beans:

Just this week, I got a message from Disarming Films, a documentary film company working out of Los Angeles.

They said they are making a documentary about a bunch of children molested by somebody in the film industry. I never contacted them back. They wanted videos and pictures of Michael and a few others he knew.

The film company said they were working on numerous children, now adults, now coming forward about this.

I was close to Michael, but he didn’t confess any of this to me until 2012. I don’t know the specifics, what the person’s name was, I just knew that one of his close friends was in that whole scene with him.

Amy Berg confirmed to DM that she’s been working on the documentary for two years, and that Egan has been cooperative. She offered no further comment. The source concluded that “Michael has lots of psychological issues” that are most likely tied to the string of abuse he suffered as a teenager.

Earlier this week at a press conference, Egan accused Singer of running a drug-fueled party circuit for Hollywood predators who liked to treat teenagers “like a piece of meat.” He claimed he was one of many boys who were routined raped by Singer and Hollywood executive Marc Collins-Rector, who was jailed in 2004 for luring minors across state lines for sexual acts.

At the press conference, Egan’s attorney, Jeff Herman, claimed he had “heard from many people that they were abused in Hollywood as children just in the last 18 hours,” and that more alleged victims may soon come forward.

Singer has remained mum regarding the allegations. According to the latest news from yesterday, he has proof that he wasn’t even in Hawaii at the time he allegedly raped Egan twice in 1999.
