On other sites it is being said that Ben Savage appears in the new documentary about Hollywood pedophiles, Open Secret. Supposedly he is shown in footage of a Marc Collins Rector boy party. Has anyone seen the doc- can you confirm? I like him and hope he wasn't hanging out with those creeps.
Ben Savage and DEN creep Marc Collins Rector?!

I don't know, judging by who he follows on Twitter, there isn't much that would indicate to me that he's gay.
On the other hand, one of the first people he follows is Lance Bass, before his brother Fred.

From what I gather, twinks flock to these parties to try and get a foot in the door. The media has no sympathy for male rape victims, especially gay ones, especially gay ones who came to seduce older men.

So, besides Ben's past as one of Bryan Singer's boys, does anyone like or have younger family who likes Girl Meets World? There was lots of buzz and I'm interested to see how it turned out, but cannot bring myself to watch the Disney channel at my age. Heard Mr Feeny guest starred, which I'm sure was great.

Um, HELLO, Bill Cosby got away with being a rapist for decades without anyone calling him out on it. He's probably been a rapist since before Bryan Singer was born.

I'll agree that my statement is untrue as written and needs qualification. That was different scenario. Sandusky got it on with little boys in his care...well below legal age. You're asking the public, in this instance, to sympathize with almost legal GAY teens who knowingly went to a GAY Hollywood party to "hang out" with successful older men. Especially after Singer made it go away!? This will never come up again.

r19, at least one of the Bryan Singer victims loudly proclaims that he is straight. The one with the homophobic lawyer.
Although I agree that gay victims are not seen as sympathetic as straight ones. Straight men think the worst thing that can happen to them is to be touched by another man.

I remember reading in comments of a post on Per.ez Hylton (don't judge me!) years ago that Ben Savage is gay. The comment wasn't especially dishy - just about meeting him out while he was attending university.

The footage is supposedly of him arriving and being grabbed by the ass but whatever guy. Footage was from 1999. So, dependent on month was 18 or 19.
There was a rumor both brothers held stock in DEN. I didn't find the original source.., sooo Ben went off to college and returned to Weho in 2004ish. Do you guys not remember he was nearly cast in Bryan Singers "superman" as jimmy olsen. But then the "script changed" and Jimmy was not in it?
Until we hear more, it almost feels like he was payed to keep quiet. i mean...

Someone here mentioned Ben following Lance Bass on Twitter. Lance Bass used to date Ben's "Boy Meets World" co-star Danielle Fishel (Topanga) in the late 90s/early 2000s, way before he came out. So it could be that they are just friends from that era. Or possibly they fooled around behind Topanga's back?

R56 - DEN was the acronym for Digital Entertainment Network - the company started by the Collins-Rector guy. It was somewhat ahead of its time. Offered a kind of internet streaming service - but back then most people still had dial up internet and the speeds just weren't fast enough. So it never took off. And lost a bucketful of dough.
But it had big bucks invested by some major players during the start-up phase - and oh the parties, the parties, the parties...
