The Atlantic's Bryan Singer Article Part 2

Part 1

Lindsay Lohan for Red Sonja! (Who else is desperate enough?)

Anthony Rapp is tweeting up a storm

We need a fat rat face picture of Bry Bry at the top.

Olivia Munn who was in x-man supports the article.

As part of his plea deal with the DA Mark was to name names on where the underage porn came from and who would often “date” the stars. He was to provide this list of names a few days after his “suicide”. Some of the names on the list were at the highest levels of the entertainment industry

Some of you live in denial and don’t realize the rich and famous get deals the average Joe won’t.

Olivia Munn is a phony

Olivia Munn has been fucked by all of Hollywood

Nah, she mostly beards

Did the other thread get closed because of length?

I surprised anyone would want to fuck Anthony Rapp.

Don't be naive r10, that whole 600 posts was just a likely story, the REAL reason is that we were getting too close to the truth, so the Pedo Ring that runs the world decided it had to be nipped in the bud! Certain posters beware, they are coming for you!

No comment from Singers "special friend" Ben Hardy?........By the way----Bryan Singer is a producer on X-Men Phoenix (the next X-Men movie).....Which is reportedly way over budget......WTF does Bryan have on FOX that they keep hiring him...Yes---he might be able to direct---but his endless baggage cannot possibly be worth it.....

R6, who are you talking about?

I teach college and about ten years ago a student (openly gay male, twink look, of legal age) told me that he and a friend met Singer either at a party or a club (I think in. NYC) and Singer offered to give them money for plane fare to LA...to what end was not specified. My student declined (though said he wished he'd taken the money); his friend accepted. This was long before the allegations became widely known, so I'm inclined to believe the accusers.

I'm glad I've never been attracted to younger men. Life is complicated enough.

R6, the one in denial, is YOU.

Mark Sailing was into CP involving girls specifically, ages 5-7, again, specifically.

Sailing was collecting images from the dark web, and he shared his interest with a young woman who he was dating. She turned him into the FBI, who worked with the LAPD. They monitored his online transactions after obtaining a warrant to do so.

Once their team of detectives were able to verify via their IT ops that it was specifically Sailing who was viewing CP images, and NOT his roommate, they had a swat team serve him with a warrant, and seized all electronic devices in the home. They determined and confirmed via onsite IT forensics, that the ONLY person viewing these images in that household, was indeed Mark Sailing.

Mark was arrested and charged ASAP, and that’s all she wrote.

He made no offer in order to bust a ring. None, at all, whatsoever.

There were no deals to be made. That is not how CP charges work. You do not get the option of making deals, or negotiating with the state or the Feds, once you are busted for CP.

CP exchanged online is a FEDERAL CRIME. Each charge/count comes with MANDATORY, NON NEGOTIABLE TIME TO BE SERVED, NO MATTER WHAT. NO TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR.

As a matter of fact, a person convicted of rape, molestation, or engaging in actual sex with a minor under the age of 12, will actually serve less time than a person who is convicted of filming, selling, sharing, trading, possessing or viewing CP.

You’re a fucking idiot. You have absolutely no idea of what you’re talking about.

Keep believing the bullshit you read on CDAN, or your tin hat, Q-Anon sites, Dora Dumbfuck.

Wow. Somebody did something, somebody important. I'm amazed - and pleasantly surprised.

Wait, are you talking about the GLAAD thing r17? I'm happy they did it, but in the grand scale it is meaningless. They are not somebody important.

[quote]Bryan Singer is a producer on X-Men Phoenix (the next X-Men movie).....Which is reportedly way over budget......WTF does Bryan have on FOX that they keep hiring him.

He’s contractually obligated as they are using characters from the “universe” he created. He may have no actual involvement in the picture.

[quote]GLAAD condemns Bryan Singer and revokes award for “Bohemian Rhapsody”

Because GLAAD had no idea, no idea whatsoever, about any of these allegations. They were completely shocked, shocked and surprised.

We've been discussing him literally for decades.

Hmm. Time’s Up approved the GLAAD withdrawal. That’s the closest beyond the three we’ve gotten to a larger response.

Speaking of CDAN, him and John Doe have been going crazy alongside An Open Secret. Claiming to have done everything.

'I love working with accused sexual assaltist Bryan Singer. That's why I keep doing it"--------- Jennifer Lawrence...........BTW this photo of Bryan Singer looks like he hasn't bathed in 4 days....

GLAAD is full of shit as usual. They should never remove their support for Bohemian Rhapsody, a good film about a great gay icon. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Extremism at its worst.

Finally people are starting to put together the Sexual Assalt Comparrisos....Thank God for all those victims of Bryan Singers who aren't able to come forward...

What happened to all the white feminist heroes from Hollywood?

If a white woman is catcalled, they form a mob! But when the victim is a woman of color or a gay man, they play nice with the rapists.

#metoo is only taken seriously when a white woman sees a man manspreading

[quote]Did the other thread get closed because of length?

I think it was due to girth.

VOX is mopping up Bryan Singer.----"Vulnerable boys and powerful men: the Bryan Singer allegations fit a disturbing pattern"----------The Fall of Bryan Singer is a Glorious and Filthy Spectacle.....

With regard to Singer being able to hold on to Red Sonja...don't be too sure, despite the asshole producer's support. For one thing, it's a film that will have a female lead - one who now will be in the position of having to relentlessly justify her choice to work with an alleged rapey pervert in the MeToo era. They may not have as many takers as you'd think. But even more than that is the fact that the whole reason the character of Sonja becomes Red Sonja is because she is brutally raped, which haunts her all her life. Just like Nate Parker and Birth of a Nation, you REALLY don't want someone accused of sexual assault, et cetera handling this story. There will be backlash.

I predict he loses the film, and gets replaced by a woman.

Wow, guess Singer's downfall is really happening. Did he kick some higher up's favorite puppy or kitten on his way out of the Bohemian Rhapsody movie set? Because no way is this about Singer screwing minors and giving them roles in his projects or hires them as (s)crew members on set.

FF R32

They are too stupid to post here.

R31 = learn how to google----Prick

R26, hardly any women are defending him, you're just a republican looking to bash the women's movement

It's sad. Most people in Hollywood are afraid of criticizing Singer given his connections to/knowledge of the actions of uber powerful people in town. Also, the victims aren't well known like Anthony Rapp or Anthony Edwards. Consequently, the response has been mostly silent.

I swear, this town is run by depraved terrorists and bullies lording it over people who will do anything not to get kicked out.

Even Hello Giggles has turned on Bryan Singer!!!

I am shocked, SHOCKED to hear that there is gambling in the back room!

[quote] Most people in Hollywood are afraid of criticizing Singer given his connections to/knowledge of the actions of uber powerful people in town.

Yeah, but just as important is the silence of his friends. People who had big careers in America because they got a break in one of Singer's X-Men movies (Hi, Hugh!) are saying nothing in his defense. They are Meryl-Streeping it, (or if you are really old,) Sargent-Schultzing it ("I know nothing, NOTHING!").

MLK said, "In the end, we will remember not the words or our enemies, but the silence of our friends." The public silence of his friends must be roaring in Bryan Singer's ears.

For anyone in the prior post questioning Singer's ability to rape these kids--and anyone he provides drugs and or alcohol to under the age of 21 legally qualifies as underage, Gabe Hoffman on a podcast recounted a first-hand account of Singer thanking Gary Goddard for introducing Singer to a drug that would keep the kids awake, but unable to protest.

That is fucking sick, as is Singer and his whole crew

"I knew nothing!" said Smiles Streep.

Bitch didn't get an Oscar nomination this year - Good!!

She hasn’t done much of anything to get an Oscar nod.

Another phony actress with creepy Gollum.

All of Hollywood is full of phonies. Idk why you guys get so upset by certain ones. Only a few are real like Rami.

R44 They're not quite all phonies - but some are worse than others. People who embrace a semi-monster in order to elevate their own careers, and then when he's caught they run in the opposite direction claiming to be innocent and knowing nothing.

[quote]Only a few are real like Rami.

You are really going to say that in this thread? It's like you are asking for it. The entire internet is mocking Rami for his "I was so focused on researching Mercury, I had no idea any of the talk about Singer! Promise!"

Brant Daugherty

When I first moved to LA, I was looking for work and found a job listing as “assistant to an A-List director.” It ended up being Bryan Singer’s office. His assistant at the time was doing the interviews. When I got there, he took one look at me and told me I didn’t want this job.

I really did want the job so I pushed back a little. He politely told me that this wasn’t a good fit for me. Bryan would have a difficult time working near me. I thanked him and left. This shit has been known for years.

R42, thank God.

Brant Daugherty is a humblebragger.

Rami did NOTHING wrong.

99% of Hollywood is phony as fuck.

No one was even talking about Rami til you clumsily inserted him into the conversation. But since you obviously want to talk about him, Tom and Lorenzo's sweet summed up my thoughts well.

No one blames the guy, everyonein the entertainment industry looks the other way for the sake of business, but bitch please.

My guess is Singer must have major blackmail material on the powerful people in Hollywood. Not saying that he's gonna blackmail nobody but if he goes down...he will bring them with him.

Rami did us all a favor by getting that turd fired.

Is Singer still prowling? When was the last party? Who are the under age guys around him NOW? Or has age tamed him?

He's got a baby now...he's probably fucking him.

R54 If Makek was so concerned about Singer, how come he put up with him doing most of the editing? Or was he too busy doing post-research to notice. SURE JAN

Lots of Singer apologists on this thread. Which is curious, considering that one of Singer's defenses to the charge of child rape has been to cry "homophobia". Now, I don't know about any of you but I don't appreciate him resurrecting and reinforcing the old, bigoted canard that homosexuality=pedophilia and I 'm not sure why any gay man commenting here would appreciate it EITHER.

Unless, of course, it's not HOMOSEXUALITY you're defending.

Editing? Huh???

r57, you don't know how Hollywood works. Unless the star is producing, or they are A list, they have no say about who edits the film.

R60 exactly. I was so confused by that MADE UP post full of lies to tear down Malek.

His haters are loving this drama.

God, using terms like "haters", inserting Malek into a thread where no one was talking about him.

This fangurl culture is ruining the DL.

^That's for sure.

Hopefully people saw the last of my posts in Part 1. If not, here's a rundown:

1) Andy Dick had a voiceover role last fall in HAPPYTIME MURDERS with Melissa McCarthy.

2) Start an Andy Dick thread if you're planning on 600 more posts about him.

3) When did Andy Dick and Bryan Singer ever associate? Proof?

4) Please Flame & Freak all the left-field libel coming from trolls who probably just want the Singer threads closed. PROOF FROM LINKED SOURCES ONLY. Angelina Jolie, Gus Van Sant, David Geffen, Andy Dick, WTF?

5) Egan wasn't paid -- he was hoping to get money from Bryan Singer for his lawsuits. And he may have just lied about the location of his assaults because he was suing in a Hawaiian court -- the only court where the statute of limitations hadn't run out. Egan passed lie detector tests about his rapes.

Honestly the only “victim” here is Bryan Singer. These boys knew what they were doing and were more than willing to do it to get ahead in Hollywood. Let’s put this to bed already.

Let's put you to bed r65. Just give it up already. It's sad.

R6 quick! Rite-Aid is having a big sale on tin foil!

[quote]Honestly the only “victim” here is Bryan Singer. These boys knew what they were doing and were more than willing to do it to get ahead in Hollywood

So....who got ahead?

Heh great question r68. Who have these guys who Singer really helped out, because I see the pile of guys whose lives he helped destroy.

r45 can just get off her high horse and right-wing hysteria.

Nobody had proof, multiple or credible witnesses going on the record until yesterday. And if you convict people without due process, you're an evil shit stain.

There was NOTHING actionable Hollywood could have done before. I wonder if you blast religion as much as you want to condemn all Hollywood. Why shouldn't everyone boycott the Catholic Church until the Pope stops protecting child rapists? Why shouldn't everyone boycott evangelical preachers until they stop raping minors, hiring rent boys, partying on drugs, hiring hookers and peddling ripoff "Armageddon Survival buckets?"

[quote] wonder if you blast religion as much as you want to condemn all Hollywood.

Err...you realize you are posting on a gay board right?

Singer's publicist/assistant at R65 is getting tired of running interference for his predator boss. So you know what DLers -- let's keep it going! I saw what we did with the Shawn Mendes threads, we can get several more threads out of this. Especially with the additional fallout that's likely to come in the next several days.

r65, I hope this bed is a hospital bed and you are connected to life support systems.

r60 is the one who doesn't know anything about Hollywood.

Any talent can refuse to work with another talent -- BEFORE they sign.

But the Director's Guild Rules entitle the director to oversee editing of the film if they're available.

The final say always have the producers. The directors or A-List actors can make suggestions but in the end it's the ones paying the bills and salaries who make the actual decision.

I wonder if Henry Cadillac will spill on what happened when he was a young twink living in Weho and partying with Singer.

I wonder if Henry Cavill will spill on what happened when he was a young twink living in Weho and partying with Singer.

Yes, I'm sure actor that spent his entire career trying to run from gay rumors is definitely going to speak up about this!

Unless there is concrete proof of illegal activity, nothing will happen to him...unless he fucks up his work as a director or his films bomb, he will find work.

I sure hope he saved his money and invested wisely.

Who is r6 talking about?

R80--Mark Salling from Glee

Looking at the backlash to the backlash, and I have a genuine question. If Bohemian Rhapsody’s Oscar chances hurt because of this, does it really invalidate the work of all the cast and crew? What a mess. The press needs to hold the execs at Fox accountable too—Stacey Snider and Emma Watts. I don’t believe they were “unaware” of all the allegations about him when they hired him. And what is Rami supposed to do? On one hand, say he chooses to be more outspoken about Singer and disavows him; he’ll get shit from all who worked on the film. On the other hand, he accepted the role with Singer’s name attached, and his responses to all the Singer questions from the press so far don’t make sense...so yeah.

R39 Thank Kathy G for the wisdom!

Singer deleted almost all posts about BR from his Instagram. Interesting.

Fucking Anthony Rapp, newfound shitstain snitch pretending to be noble. And GLAAD and their usual big bag of bullshit. Just making all of this worse.

If he is indeed guilty, it will catch up with him eventually ala Cosby. But until then... enough with the trial by internet crap.

R85 Yes. The self-righteous witch hunters are out looking for victims and in some case any victims. The #MeToo movement has now been turned into a monster that cannot be controlled - and even the witch hunters will be in danger at some point in the future.

Wonder if Geffen and Spielberg are quaking rn, or just anticipating it’ll pass like it has all the other times. Singer has major dirt on many big figures is my guess. He’s too immune to consequences not to.

r13 Ben Hardy made this "shading" Instagram post (caption "5 hard working people" on a picture featuring 6 including Singer) on the day before the article came out. Deleted it the same day as well, was probably asked to. No loyalty from that side!

I'm pretty sure everyone from BR is gagged by contract.

R76 why would he??

Serious Question - Which Oscar nominated film benefits from this story breaking now?

All.

r85, how is Anthony Rapp "pretending to be noble"? Has he done something not noble you'd like to share?

Also, you say if Singer has done something wrong it will "catch up to him a la Cosby." I'd like to point out that the only reason things caught up to Cosby was because someone brought up the rape rumors about him when everyone else was afraid to talk about it (Hannibal Buress). After that, the 50+ felt the courage to come out and share their stories. In other words, it takes initial steps like this Atlantic expose for things to start catching up to predators.

But I'm sure you already know all of that, and you're just one of Singer's paid trolls.

1. There are predators from all walks of life and predatory behavior happens in all professions.

2. There is NO pedophile ring of powerful men in Hollywood. It doesn't exist. Are there powerful, older gay men in the industry who like hot younger guys? Yes. Of course. There are powerful straight men who like younger hot girls. And that power has been abused, and it's being corrected. VERY little of it- VERY little of it has to do with men or women that are underage.

3. When a accusation IS made by an individual who claims they were underage at the time of the incident, it brings out the nutty fucking scum-of-the-earth pizza gate/ENTY freaks. ENTY thinks that a pedo ring was being run by Chris Cornell's wife. That Chris Cornell's wife had James and Dave Franco finding underage boys and girls to kidnapped and sent to be raped and murdered by ISIS fighters. They say that Chris Cornell was murdered because he was about to expose it. I swear to God, that's what gets posted, and the drooling half-retard idiots in the comments section believe it.

The alt-right LOVES it. People on this board who hop on as soon as a Spacey or Singer allegation is made and start explaining how it's a HUGE conspiracy in Hollywood are all alt-right Trump wingnuts. These idiots think Trump is somehow ridding the world of pedophiles. It's insane, especially because of Trump's involvement with Jeffery Epstein, who is at the center of many of these wacky theories.

4. It all has to do with abortion. In the twisted, sick alt-right mind, the fact that abortion is legal is proof that Hilary Clinton and John Podesta are child murderers and cannibals. They put a woman terminating a pregnancy at two months on the same moral level as molesting a child once they've been born.

It's fucking sick, and they should all be BANNED.

I have no idea of that accusations against Singer are true. Some of what was alleged is upsetting, for sure. But this in an individual person. DEN was over 20 years ago and Singer was just barely involved. To make this more than a couple of accusations against one possibly sick person is evil and homophobic.

To- Pizza gate and enty screwball fraus- GO FUCK YOURSELVES.

R87 fuck off, cuntface.

r93

"There is NO pedophile ring of powerful men in Hollywood. It doesn't exist." And how would you know that, sir?

"DEN was over 20 years ago and Singer was just barely involved." And how would you know that, sir?

It's hilarious how you're criticizing people for making strong claims when you are doing exactly the same.

Oh, and I see what you are trying to do with the whole alt right/Pizzagate thing. Allegations about Singer's behavior were happening long before anyone knew about the alt right. You're just trying to delegitimize all discussion by Dataloungers by trying to conflate the two. Won't work.

What the fuck are you even saying r93? Just because the alt right gloms onto these accusations as they involve faux Hollywood liberals, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t out these perverts and persecute them. And if a bunch of powerful men are protecting each other from consequences for personal or financial reasons, which is certainly happening, that’s basically a ring. You don’t have to believe in q anon or whatever nonsense conspiracy to know Hollywood is run by perverts like a mob.

[quote]DEN was over 20 years ago and Singer was just barely involved. To make this more than a couple of accusations against one possibly sick person is evil and homophobic.

What? The number of allegations makes it homophobic? That doesn't make any sense.

It's homophobic to in any way imply that more gays than Singer could have any dirt on their shoes, is what r93 is saying. Paid PR person for someone who isn't Singer, I suppose.

What's with that "men or women that are underage" language? There are more precise words for those people: girls and boys who are underage.

Trying to defend those abusive pigs with abortion rights is beyond the pale.

That’s so disingenuous of GLAAD. All of this has been known about Singer for how long? A decade? I first read rumors right here on the DL and found countless articles about it in publications like The Hollywood Reporter. And suddenly people at GLAAD are pretending this is news and revoking an award from the movie he was fired from?

R78, I only speak for 💰💰💰. Ask Bryan, he’ll tell u, bruh.

I think it's a good message for GLAAD to do this. They make a point to support the victims, specifically the ones from the article. They still say they appreciate the film, but supporting the victims is more important. Since GLAAD is about fighting for rights, is pretty much about being a SJW long before that term has been coined an tainted, it's the right decision.

R82 Malek didn’t accept the role with Singer attached. Singer wasn’t attached until a few months after Malek accepted.

There, there, Bryan. Everything will turn OK, I promise.

R101 But why this film? His abuses go back for long before Bohemian Rhapsody. And the production ultimately fired Singer—isn’t that laudable on the film’s behalf? Why punish the one film that actually took some kind of action against him?

The former Corbin Fisher hooker/current Chippendale Connor/Chaz Vorrias/Colin Hart (multiple names) has alluded several times on Instagram that Singer placed him in an X-Men movie, which got the porn star a SAG card and movie residuals, and he conspicuously posted this promotion for Bohemian Rhapsody on Instagram, which may be the only post he has ever made that wasn’t self-promotional.

There’s no necessary correlation between Singer patronizing and doing favors for a porn star/prostitute and him being a sexual abuser, but I’m really baffled by the amount of transparent whoring I see online. Isn’t working as a prostitute and hiring prostitute still a crime just about everywhere?

Also re:GLAAD. It is important to clearly reject the homophobia defence Singer, Spacey and r93 like to use. No, we will not stand behind your abusive ass, not because you are liberal, not because you are gay! Rot in prison.

I want an explanation from Ronan Farrow about why he didn’t break this story. I really do. When he came out with Weinstein a year ago, many people including me urged him via social media to research allegations against Singer. I never saw him comment on it. Then he broke the Moonves/CBS story, and the Tarantino/Thurman incident. He had a year of sexual abuse zeitgeist to investigate Singer and never made a peep. Why?

[quote]But why this film?

It's the Singer film they have. It's just more important to GLAAD to support the victims from the article and reject Singer than it is to support a Hollywood blockbuster, even though it was a difficult decision since they do approve of the film as a wildly popular tribute to gay idol Mercury.

It's Official!!-------Blind Gossip is coyly calling out Rami Malek and his "I didn't know anything" LIES----I mean excuses....Link Below.....

R106---I wondered about this too....I wonder if Ronan Farrow ever had the displeasure of ever going to any of Bryan Singers "parties". when he was a minor......?.....I hope not....

Singer looks like he’s gaining weight...I’m imagining him in beg, huffing Pringle’s BBQ chips.

With Janet.

R109, Ronan is Hollywood royalty, as they say. He doesn’t mix with the likes of Singer, nor does he have to.

Ronan’s pa is a sick perv. Pretty sure Ronan knew to stay away from Singer, because if anyone knows about sick pervs, it’s Ronan.

He might hate his father, but the man inherited from his father the one thing Ronan has going for him, his brain.

And no, he is NOT Sinatra’s kid, and he knows it.

I’m sorry, R108, but I am calling bullshit on attacking Rami Malek and this film in particular. It’s not fair and it makes no sense.

This is from the opening of the Atlantic article that has made overdue waves:

“Almost from the moment his star began to rise [20 years ago], Singer, who is now 53, has been trailed by allegations of sexual misconduct. These allegations were so well known that 4,000 students, faculty members, and alumni at the University of Southern California had signed a petition asking the school to take Singer’s name off one of its programs, the Bryan Singer Division of Cinema and Media Studies—which the school did immediately after Sanchez-Guzman filed his suit. As one prominent actor told us, “After the Harvey Weinstein news came out, everyone thought Bryan Singer would be next.””

Two decades ago, allegations were common knowledge. And they persisted over time. As mentioned above, Singer PLACED LITERAL WHORES in his movies, which those whores brag about to this day. Photos of Singer’s pool parties with underaged boys who say they were sexually assaulted at those parties have circulated for years and were ignored until...last week? Really? Two decades of accusations with photographic evidence.

2018: Bohemian Rhapsody

2017: The Gifted (TV)

2016: X-Men

2014: X-Men

2013: Jack the Giant Slayer

2008: Valkyrie

And on and on. He has pumped out movies consistently with these accusations out there. Malek is one of hundreds of actors who took roles in his movies undoubtedly aware of his crimes and creepiness. Hundreds or thousands of non-actors took jobs working on those movies.

Why should Rami Malek and Bohemian Rhapsody specifically be demonized when no one associated with any of his other recent works is? It seems like people are looking for anyone to crucify except Singer, the actual criminal and abuser. What the fuck?

This Gawker article is from five years ago. Five years. If you’re going to attack Malek, then you have to attack every other person who worked with Singer since 2014, because this has not been a fucking secret.

And I really am disappointed in Ronan Farrow as a gay man. His sexuality is the only possible excuse I can think of for Farrow not having gone for this story. He has never made a peep about Singer, and Singer is a well known serial sexual abuser.

The trouble with Singer and Malek / Bohemian Rhapsody is that Singer got attached to the BR project while #metoo was in full bloom and yet Hollywood still works like usualy where you can't pick and choose directors based on whether they behave or not behave professionally on set.

And I am sorry for coming off like a douche, but Rami Malek and his handlers were right to push him to pick, and stay with, the Bohemian Rhapsody projects since it turned out to be a commercial and critical success DESPITE Bryan Singer's attachement to the project in its earlier stages.

Yes, I think it was a mistake for the producers to pick Bryan Singer. It didn't work out too well for them. They got rid of him in a very public manner AND it looks like Hollywood is finally tired of Singer and ready to abandon him. So, in some way, something good came out of it with Bryan Singer no longer being untouchable by the press as it seems. If Hollywood has to choose between comercial success / financial profits over protecting "one of their own" they will pick the comercial success / financial profits.

....

It really was a mistake to hire Singer, and that was obvious to us lowly nobodies on the internet. Hard to understand why they made it. (the stupid "It was Queen's fault" excuse doesn't cut it) Certainly not the actors' fault.

What am I looking at r114? Don't get it.

R116 Gay-for-pay porn star/prostitute showing off the SAG residuals check that he gets after Bryan Singer hired him to be an extra in X-Men movies (and provide off-camera services).

r106, leave Ronan alone. It was his reporting on Weinstein that kickstarted all these other investigations and led us to the Singer expose. Is he supposed to investigate all the predators in Hollywood himself? If he did he wouldn't have any time for himself. I'm sure he chooses what to pursue based on the number of people who come to him with their experiences, tips, etc. It just happened that most people came to him about Moonves, Schneider, etc.

Malek did nothing wrong. He signed on to play a role a YEAR before production started when they didn’t even have a Director yet.

People keep failing to acknowledge Singer wasn’t even attached yet when he signed on and all his dealing were with the studio, the producers attached early on and QUEEN themselves. He had to impress THEM to get the part, and he did. Singer wasn’t on board yet. He came a few months later.

Malek also paid for all his own trainings out of pocket and the movement coach he kept on set was HIS movement coach he hired and was paying for, the producers didn’t provide him with one.

R118 I know it was, and that’s great that he kicked it off. The grudge is because he did become a one-man “vampire slayer” who aimed his intellectual weaponry at media moguls. It wasn’t just Weinstein. He went for Weinstein, Tarantino and Moonves. He did all the big stories so far, except that he ignored urgent requests by lots of people to investigate Singer, which is conspicuous. The Atlantic states overtly that Singer’s abuses have been common knowlege for 20 years, and so it can’t have been beyond Farrow’s reach to find incriminating evidence. He really went in on both Weinstein and Moonves. Singer was low-hanging fruit, and Farrow has not mentioned him.

Would BR have gotten better reviews if Singer’s name hadn’t been attached to it?

2017

2016

And so on.

2017

" ignored urgent requests.."

What is he, a government agency? You don't know what criteria he uses to choose his targets, so it's silly to attack him for it. Saying he should focus on gay predators just because he's gay is insulting. He has the right to go after whomever he wants.

Has anyone dissed Ronan Farrow for not finding the cure for cancer or presenting a solution to end world hunger? I mean, c'mon! Why is he the one everybody is waiting for do get the ball rolling (and if he doesn't how dare he to be silent on this particular issue)? There is plenty of stuff around why Bryan Singer is predator and total mess you shouldn't accept in this modern day #metoo age of awareness.

BR doesn’t deserve the good reviews it got. It’s a pretty bad film.

I am not attacking Farrow, but I am disappointed that he overlooked the story when it has been in plain view. I am disappointed about that, and that’s my prerogative. Meanwhile, people here have support for attacking one single actor who was in Singer’s most recent movie and overlooking the hundreds of other people who have worked with him. Strange times.

Wonder why Singer's deleted his BR Instagram posts. Any theories (preferably those indicating extreme distress on his part)?

BR is awesome. But it clearly had 3 different people directing.

Backing away slowly from R93.

It’s really crazy to me that soooooo much has been written about Singer’s abuses for so long and no one gave a shit. Studios kept hiring him to crank out moneymaking blockbusters. Meanwhile, Kevin Spacey was immediately, overnight, rejected by everyone everywhere after essentially the same allegations surfaced. I’m sure continuing to employ Singer had everything to do with money, but otherwise is the difference that Spacey was in front of the camera and Singer operated behind the scenes?

Still, Weinstein and Moonves operated behind the scenes and both were taken down immediately after stories were publicized.

Anyone recognize Singer’s friend?

While I am not speaking about Bryan Singer, I am a bit sick of this witch hunt game. The shit is lame already. And why do a million people come forward at once? This is what makes people not believe the victims.

And why do we keep pointing fingers at the actors and QUEEN instead of Singer himself. He’s at fault. No one else.

It wouldn't surprise me if Singer offs himself. He has major drug and booze problems so clearly some sort of pressure is getting to him. When he realizes he has lost his power he will come undone.

Older Daily Beast report included photo of Singer with an undersged boy.

Kevin Spacey does not make studios of hundred of millions in profits. Singer does.

r129 I think they told him to. Reminded him that he promised to shut up about the movie in public, I assume.

Did he delete it the same day that Ben Hardy deleted his Singer post?

Older TMZ coverage—Singer with underaged boys. Anyone seeing a pattern?

This one makes my heart cry. Et tu, Sir Ian?

Ugh. How did it go ignored for so long?

[quote] Kevin Spacey does not make studios of hundred of millions in profits. Singer does.

I have to give Netflix credit for firing Spacey from House of Cards and creating a big mess for them and their popular TV franchise in its final season going along with the #metoo movement instead of just ignoring it like everbody in the industry did with Bryan Singer until now.

Where is Barabara Walters to defend Hollywood pedophiles when they need her?!

R144 An equally cynical and pragmatic take is that the House of Cards zeitgest had long worn off, and all that was left was a final season. By firing Spacey, Netflix 1) saved the $ it would have paid him; 2) capitalized on the Spacey headlines to advertise the show without using him as an actor; 3) reinjected curiosity in the series because its inevitable conclusion involved him and now people wanted to see how they’d finish it off without him; amd 4) Netflix built public goodwill by taking the high road. From a publicity standpoint alone, it was the clear best choice to fire him.

[quote]This is what makes people not believe the victims.

Plenty of people believe the victims, it's just that here at DL we have a dedicated coterie who are determined not to for some reason. The victims come forward several at a time because they're like a row of dominoes - one speaks out, then another, and that gives others the impetus and courage to say that it happened to them too. By the time it finally hits the media, the speaking out and revelations have already been occurring mostly out of the public eye for a while, often as a result of journalists working on stories like this or because people have tried to take legal action. It's no different than the way many revelations about abuse within the Catholic church have been revealed.

There's no fucking witch hunt. People who have been abusing others and hiding their crimes for years are simply having light shone upon their shadowy shit at last.

We don't know that Ronan Farrow didn't work on this story. Maybe he did; If so, there could be all sorts of reasons that he didn't get very far, from not having the right sources to not having time because he was working on other stories, who knows.

Bringing him up is completely irrelevant strawmanning in a way that seems like it's being done in bad faith, especially with these random jobs about him not being Sinatra's son.

[Quote] There's no fucking witch hunt. People who have been abusing others and hiding their crimes for years are simply having light shone upon their shadowy shit at last.

I don't think some of these trolls know what the word [italic]witch hunt[/italic] actually means.

R147 They also come out all at once in numbers because when it’s only one, that person usually is intimidated by threatened legal actions or blackmail or even threat of violence like Stormy Daniels was, and/or made a cash settlement offer they can refuse that their attorneys urge them to take because a) it’s an easy payday for the lawyer; b) there’s a risk of not winning a drawn-out lawsuit; c) such a lawsuit takes a lot of time and money and there can be major hardship to the plaintiff. Look at the women who have tried to sue Trump, Cosby, Clinton et al. They never won. They were cast effectively as scammers and liars and fame- and money-seeking whoresluts. All have had many accusations against them. Some of those made headlines, but the powerful men’s story always is “we had a consensual relationship; she wanted it, and now she wants my money.” And the media leave it there UNLESS there are multiple accusers all at once.

It wasn’t until I was reading all the rape allegations against Trump in 2015 that I finally thought, I should know more about Clinton. I was a kid when he was president. I knew about Monica L, and I thought I knew about Ginnifer Flowers. I thought they were both affairs. I had NO idea that Clinton was accused of forcibly raping multiple women and his defense was to denigrate their characters. I was deeply ashamed when I realized that I never even considered learning more because as a liberal person I chose to believe that he was a womanizer, yes, but unfairly targeted by the right. After reading the accusations, I absolutely believe he raped women while he was governor.

I know how Malek and BR can win Oscars! Singer needs to kill himself. Then Malek says he supports Singer's victims and gives his BR salary to the charity! Problem is solved!

[quote]His sexuality is the only possible excuse I can think of for Farrow not having gone for this story.

That is just straight up homophobic shit right there.

One of the authors of the Atlantic piece wrote the same things about Singer for Premiere Magazine nearly 20 years ago. How about Ronan didn't go after Singer because he knew a colleague already had been for two decades and wasn't letting up?

Oh for fuck's sake, trying to turn this into an anti Clinton thread is pathetic.

I hope you get ignored into oblivion, r150.

R153 That is exactly the kind of trigger reaction I was talking about. I am not “turning this into an anti-Clinton thread.” Jesus. I am saying that many of us have chosen to ignore evidence of sexual assaults when they involve people we like, and latch onto them when they involve people we dislike. This is how Cosby got away with his crimes for so long. He was regarded by ad agencies as “one of the most trusted men in America” for many years and promoted as such, and in retrospect I feel certain that that was a legal strategy to get people in that mindset so that they would automatically dismiss accusations that he and he lawyers knew were true. If you’re not willing to acknowledge that we tend to be selective about what allegations we believe, then this problem is never going to be fairly or honestly addressed or enforced. Your making it out to be a partisan attack because I mentioned allegations against Clinton underscores the point.

I’m having a good time reading some of the other Articles linked in the Gawker story.

Or Ronan is simply pointing out (by ignoring it) the double standards and hypocrisy that exists when exposing stories like these....heterosexual scandals get a “nudge, wink” from the public, but same sex stuff gets the general eye rolling because gays “are like that.”.

R139, Hon, if you think those are guys are underaged I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. That goes for you too, r141. Because that guy is pushing 30 at the least.

R157 The guy on the left? 30? Get your eyes checked.

The pics without blurry faces are in the original thread, with names.

Brian May apologizes for appearing to defend Singer

Those boys look older than they are because booze, drugs and passaround.

[quote][R106], leave Ronan alone. It was his reporting on Weinstein that kickstarted all these other investigations and led us to the Singer expose

Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey are the reporters who first broke the Weinstein story, not Farrow.

Did you all actually read that article @ R141? Eeeeew, Singer is so fucking gross 🤮. I feel like taking a Silkwood shower.

I wonder what kind of treatment he'll get at industry events from his peers. Will they make eye contact and then cut away quickly, ignoring him? Will everyone refuse to be seated at his table, fearing any association will make them look guilty too? Must be horrible to fall from grace like that in Hollywood---to become a pariah almost overnight.

[quote]Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey are the reporters who first broke the Weinstein story, not Farrow.

He started the investigation, they pretty much stole it.

[quote]Those boys look older than they are because booze, drugs and passaround.

Well then they must be 11, because they look like KIDS.

I feel some of them look older than 18? But sometimes younger look older. I know this 13 year old girl whose parents let her wear makeup and she’s developed young and looks 16 or 17.

Superman kid in r139 doesn't look anywhere near 18.

They will just deal with him normally. Look him in the eye and smile. It's Hollywood.

They will not avoid him. If they have business to discuss, they will do so in a usual fashion.

My sense is that the BS story has quicky lost steam with major news outlets. Datalounge is the most active conversation I'm seeing, but at that, this thread was quite a bit down in the stream of posts this morning. That surprised me.

Question to DL . . . What specific pressure/actions, by inividuals (name them) or groups/organizations, is being taken right now to quelsh the story? How has a district attorney or other law agency not stared an investigation?

No ones really speaking about it anymore cause many people feel how some of us do, WHERE IS THE PROOF?

They’ll say, “Gee, back in the old days Barbara Walters would have defended your artistic temperament...I mean, EVERYBODY KNOWS you’re a moneymaker! But these are strange times in America, ya know? I’d love to speak up for your right to bang teen boys, but, like, Me Too and all that...you know how it is. Don’t worry. Roman Polanski survived the same thing. So will you.”

Because Hollywood = Washington = Wall Street when it comes to these things. Zero humanity.

Related to my post above, I just checked to see if this thread bumped to the top of DL. It has not. What's up with that?

R118, & R119, correct regarding Ronan and Rami.

Ronan went after stories that offered available witnesses, victims, etc. He’s not some comic book hero, here to out every single HW predator. Also, keep in mind that only one new allegation surfaced for Singer. Everything else was old news.

For whatever reasons, it has been more difficult to get witnesses to go on record regarding Singer, & I’m about to speculate why.

Singer, unlike Weinstein, is a really friendly guy. Whether anyone here likes him, or not, is irrelevant.

Singer is charming AF. He’s funny, he super bright, he can discuss pretty much anything with anyone, and believe it or not, Singer actually cares about some of the people in his circle. If you are a smart, talented woman, Singer will give you a shot in the arm for your career.

He does not expect sex from you as a woman, or for you to procure teens for him. He’s like a BFF, or a big brother, or whatever it is, that you need. He’s loyal, and people in town like him, a LOT. People who have absolutely no interest in diddling teen boys, girls, or scoring grade A drugs.

This may not go down well for people, who just like me, believe and/or know, that Singer has had very troublesome and outright ILLEGAL relationships with minors. But if you are not a Hollywood “townie” please remember this, a highly inappropriate person in reference to male teens, is not just that one thing, especially if he’s genuinely talented.

I would not allow my hypothetical teen son to hang out with Singer, but if my hypothetical, young adult daughter, who is studying film, asked me about working with Singer, and she decided to do so, against my counsel, I wouldn’t stay up at night, freaking out, because Singer would cause her no harm, and he would most likely, treat her very well.

Singer has a HUGE problem with teen boys. He does not have a problem with being a decent boss or friend, to people who are not under the scope of his preference for teenaged boys.

I know that this might be unpleasant to read, but it’s the truth. Doesn’t excuse the bad behavior at all, but helps explain why people haven’t rolled on him sooner.

Harvey Weinstein is the antithesis of Singer. Everyone hates Harv, because he’ll fuck ANYONE over, for pretty much any reason.

Rami did a fantastic job. Please do not push to fuck over his career, due to Bryan Singer. Rami is not Singer, and he does not run around town, drugging and predating upon teens. He needed a big break, and this was the vehicle for him. He deserves his day in the sun. He worked hard to do this.

R173, well Oscar nomination will be enough as the day in the sun for Malek then.

R174, true enough. But you know what I mean.

"Those brave women inspired me so much, I had to come forward with the time a gay movie star fell on top of me at a party like a drunk uncle a hundred years ago. By the way, catch my new show on CBS this Fall!"

Liberal Hollywood does not care about rape victims when the victim isn’t a cis white woman.

The only way they’ll speak up is if someone makes a cool documentary about it.

No one in Hollywood gives two damns about all of R Kelly’s victims at least til that documentary came out. They couldn’t ignore it then so they all acted as if the rumors about him are new. However, if a white woman gets cat called women like Alyssa Milano, Gaga, Dunham will start an online mob and sic their supporters on their target.

#whitefeminism

r173 He was a nice guy until recently, I guess. The Bohemian Rhapsody cast doesn't need him to rape anyone to hate his guts.

Maybe it’s just me but when I read that Atlantic article on Singer’s abuse of all those young teens - especially at his parties - it kind of reminded me of that documentary the “Dancing Boys of Afghanistan”. I mean, you can just imagine Singer, Wayne Castro, and all the other old queens taking advantage of some drugged out pre-teen.

R178, true. Singer was getting high as fuck on that set.

He knew shit was about to drop, and he should have been nowhere near that set, at all, whatsoever.

His drug use was escalating out of control.

I still cannot wrap my head around why he hasn’t been cut loose in the #metoo era.

Everyone knows that Singer has a problem, and though he might have skated along all of the previous allegations, no way was this not rearing it’s ugly head out, once again, ESPECIALLY with the Oscar buzz attached to Bohemian Rhapsody.

I kind of feel sorry for Malek, even though i didnt like his performance and despise his bearding. He was signed before Singer. What he could do? Nothing.

He could admit the truth instead of acting like he didn’t know. His desperation for an Oscar is worth for than the truth for him. He’s a liar. Protecting the truth about a peeophile so he can win a statue.

BS He isn't protecting the truth about a pedophile. He knows shit. He knows as much as us IF he happened to watch "An Open Secret" and read up on online gossip, otherwise he probably knows significantly less. His "knowledge" (ie which rumors he has heard) is simply completely insignificant.

And by BS, I mean bullshit. should not have shortened it in this context.

He knows as much as the rest of us. Grow up already.

The haters are getting ridiculous. So much so that on E! Channel earlier they defended Malek.

R182

What truth? At the time Singer won against Egan and was clear before the law. But i do think Malek and his people chose the wrong strategy. "I didnt know" didnt work for Meryl Streep.

I’ve got nothing against Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody was a big opportunity for him and he couldn’t afford to turn it down.

R187 he’s very honest about how much he struggled. Even when he did get work they didn’t pay him much. It took him many years to get out of school debt while still trying to survive. Mr Robot is where he found true success.

Uh Oh.....One less PAYCHECK for Bryan Singer? ----- He produces the slopfest "The Gifted" on FOX (big surprise)......Yhe show is closer to cancellation.....

Perry Hynes White-----from The Gifted -----was "discovered" and cast by Bryan Singer...

Good, "Gifted" is such a piece of shit. Torture.

R186 is an idiot. He wasn't raping women in front of Meryl, freepers went after her because she's a dem

[quote]Related to my post above, I just checked to see if this thread bumped to the top of DL. It has not. What's up with that?

Never much cared for you. Or your boring posts.

R192

Well, so is Malek. Anyway, people ARE going after him because of "I didnt know" excuse.

I never thought Singer was a particularly talented Director. The “Usual Suspects” owed the majority of its success to the main co-writer of the script. And all of his other movies have been pop corn rubbish like X-men, which might have made money but they haven’t aged well.

X2 has aged amazingly R195

R195

Why co writer? I think one person wrote the script and won the Oscar for it.

sorry. I don't like bug eyed Rami. I won't be seeing the movie. I don't care about him whatsoever and won't pay to see hm. even if he wins the oscar, he will just be like Adrian Brody with the fucked up nose who went on to make shit movies. Rami is on drugs. So obvious when he talks.

The XMen movies would be making billions of dollars of done right. They barely make half a billion due to the crappy way Singer made them. Once a competent director gets them over at Disney, the X movies won’t be jokes anymore.

Days of Future Past made over $700 million with a China ban. With China they would be hits.

X2 was legitimately good.

R198 we know you haven’t seen it and won’t but still sit around all day attacking the film and Rami every few minutes.

No, “they” aren’t, R194. You’re an idiot.

this is very sad

you can quote me

R202, who is that?

Bri

I've heard rumors that T. Cruise has attended quite a few of Bryan' s infamous parties

R206 No

Fincher is next

Who’s death is he being linked to? A lot of these young kids were really hard up when got involved with Singer, or they where from very dysfunctional backgrounds. Singer could have easily pushed one of them over the edge with what both he and his crowd of flunkies got up to, and if that is the case then he needs to be exposed for what he’s done.

I live in tiny rural village in the middle of nowhere in the UK. And even I knew about Bryan Singer’s pool parties.

Rami Malik isn’t headless. He must have known.

With respect to BR — Singer is a cultural worker. He is not an auteur director. BR is the product of a team. Not just Singer. Don’t penalize anyone except Singer. Fuck. What’s next? How far does this go? I shook hands with Singer in 1998 so send me to pasture? Unbelievable over reaction.

Bryan and Tommy......

Just cause they met doesn’t mean Tom goes to his parties

Tommy and Bryan = They look friendly.....

My God....singer must be a midget....TC IS NOT tall and hes taller than Singer.

We couldn't wait to spread our holes for Bry.

R173 Yes because it is underage sex with teenage boys it doesn't get the same attention. Teenage girls are seen as victims but not teenage boys. Hypocrisy from the feminists out there. A victim is a victim regardless of sex.

Whalestein played the tit for tat game for a long time. He took care of the women he allegedly molested and raped. They were offered and got roles in his films. No matter what it was still wrong. However unlike Empress Singer he never molested or raped anyone underage.

R204 I don't know. I found it on 'Mr. Robot is Freddie Mercury: The BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY thread' on Awardswatch forum

can someone post the photo with Hugh Jackman

Where is Awardswatch?

Wasn’t Singer supposed to have calmed down and become a lot more cautious over the years - such as checking ID’s and making sure everyone was of legal age? Maybe until recently he thought he could get away with it. However, the MeToo movement must have really rattled him and it’s obvious that he’s now fair game as far as the media is concerned.

R221, someone did make that claim about him on DL, but it might have been one of Singer’s own people. One of them had the sad task, years ago, of trying to convince us that Singer was dating “a Victoria’s Secret model.”

R216 = exactly......

brianmayforreal

Dear Folks - I was shocked and saddened to realise what I had done by my hasty and inconsiderate IG reply to this lady yesterday. I’ve posted an apology to her in the ‘reply’ box, but it seems to have disappeared - so I’m going to try to repeat it here, to be clear. ———- Dear Sue, I’m so sorry that I responded to your post so snappily and inconsiderately. My response was a result of my perception that someone was telling me what to do. I now realise that I was completely wrong in thinking that. You were actually just trying to protect me, for which I thank you. I am mortified to discover the effect my words produced. I had no idea that saying someone was innocent until proven guilty could be interpreted as “defending“ Bryan Singer. I had absolutely no intention of doing that. I guess I must be naive, because also it had never occurred to me that ‘following’ a person on Instagram could be interpreted as approving of that person. The only reason I followed Bryan Singer was that we were working with him on a project. That situation came to an end when Mr Singer was removed during the shooting of the film, but I suppose unfollowing him never occurred to me as a necessity. Now, because of this misunderstanding, I have unfollowed. I’m so sorry. This must have caused you a lot of upset. I wish I could take the comment back, but all I can do is apologise, and hope that my apology will begin to make amends. Sadly, this is all very public, but since I snapped at you in public, it’s only fitting that I should apologise in public. I’m going to try to follow you so we can communicate privately if you want. With love - Bri. —— I should add that this is also a sincere apology to anyone else out there that I inadvertently offended. No such offence was intended and I will be more careful in future. Bri

Lucas Till, Nicholas Hoult------and their "mentor" Bryan Singer....

Sue should mind her own business. I agree with Brian.

R223 Wasn't Hoult already too old for Singer?

Hoult didn’t get the part cause he fucked Singer. He was dating J Law at the time. She got him the role

Bryan Singer tried to hey Nicholas Hoult the role of Han Solo......

Guys like Nicholas Hoult, James McAvoy, and Hugh Jackman are supposed to impress Singer's prey. "Wow, here I am in private airplane casually sitting almost right next to big movie stars! How fucking cool is that?", Singer treats these stars like bait and they let him, because they are so called team players willing to do what it takes to keep moody Singer happy and their franchise going.

This is Nicholas Hoult when Bryan Singer "discovered" him.....

R228 Lawrence is a dyke it was mutual bearding

R228 J Law at the time. She got him the role

J Law herself got her roles by fucking Weinstein

Hoult is Tony on the original skins. And he was not a minor when Singer met him. In his early 20s

I hate to say it, but I thought the poster who compared Malek to Adrien Brody nailed it. I think Rami is a far nicer guy overall than Brody, but I can see his career having a similar trajectory.

Sadly, Rami will most likely only ever be known for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury, and Bohemian Rhapsody is always going to be tainted to some degree due to Bryan Singer - especially if the accusations blow up.

Malek might get a few decent roles in the future but I can’t see him going very far. And like Brody he’ll probably do a ton of B movie crap and then fade into oblivion.

The problem with most stars like Brody and Malek is that they don't play the Hollywood game right. If you are not with the right management that has your actual interests in mind instead of their own and cash in (by picking only the highest paying gigs to benefit their comission fee even if the role isn't the right one for their client and doesn't suit him in any way) these actors flame out fairly quickly and there are already other actors waiting to get their award winning moment and project.

I think Rami's career will be just fine whether he wins or loses Oscar for Bohemian Tragedy.

Oh please, who is gonna pay 20 bucks to go see Rami in a romantic lead? I don't think so! Bug eyes are so sexy (not!).

He will play geek roles and that's about it. Not too many roles that call for bug eyes.

R239 do you get tired? You’re on here 24/7

He's not uglier than Hedges, Elgort, Sean Penn etc

Rami will do fine. The issue is guys like Brody and him have specific looks that aren’t gonna get cast in any role

JuanPa✔

Replying to @jpbrammer

It's something to reflect on at least. I can't believe how long I've known this about this person just by being in the community and it's weird how it's been common knowledge.

🍋 𝕔Ⓛa𝕄s 🍋 @Clams_phx

I went to college surrounded by MFA film students, and it was common knowledge to anyone involved. Stories leaked from professors or speakers who came. I didn't realize it wasn't common knowledge to everyone else.

Brody is not very likeable.

Bryan Singer's claim of "homophobia" is as offensive as Kevin Spacey’s weird coming out. Both men are using their homosexuality to deflect questions around alleged abuse

The issue isn't that it was common knowledge. The issue is that nobody thought it was worth making a stink about it. It was accepted as something you have to, at best, tolerate if you want to work, or keep working, in Hollywood.

Before things like #metoo people were supposed to be ok with hostile work enviroments.

The writers of the Bryan Singer article on why it was published by The Atlantic: “After months of reporting, the story went through Esquire’s editorial process... and the story was approved for publication. The story was then killed by Hearst executives. We don’t know why.”

Hearst is owned by the Hearst family. Their company is a 20% owner of ESPN and a 50% owner of A&E. Disney owns 80% of ESPN and the other half of A&E. Disney just bought Fox which made hundreds of millions of dollars off of Bryan Singer films. Did they have the story killed?

Singer is a monster. His victims should be heard. I just don’t want Rami Malek to be punished for Singer being a monster.

Chloe Dykstra ✔

Thing is that this is a conflict we all have to come to terms with somehow. I guarantee Rami knew, and took the movie anyway. I know this because LITERALLY EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT BRYAN SINGER. He would have boys COME TO SET.

I didn't realize that the guy had his own MeToo issues, no wonder he is trying to stand by Singer.

[quote]What Lerner’s defense of Singer does not mention is that Millennium Films, the company, is facing its own allegations of misconduct. A former executive at Millennium (the outfit also produced The Expendables, London Has Fallen, and 2008’s Rambo) filed a harassment lawsuit against it in 2017, alleging that the company fostered a culture that was demeaning toward its female employees and actors. “The suit alleges,” Variety notes, “that women were called ‘whores,’ ‘c—suckers,’ and ‘mistresses,’ and actresses were routinely called ‘too fat,’ ‘too ugly,’ and ‘too old.’” Avi Lerner is listed as a defendant. (“It’s all lies,” Lerner told Deadline in response to the suit. “It’s all a joke.”) Now, unsurprisingly, the accused is defending the accuse

Who has the dirt on Bryan's new PR, H*ward Br*gman?

One of these is not owned by a good friend of David Geffen

Geffen also invested alongside Bryan Singer in pedophile-front company DEN

Geffen has protected Bryan Singer for decades

Interesting thing to know about THR!

Rami hasn’t got traditional leading man looks - similar to Brody’s giant snozz - and while sometimes having quirky features can work out well for an actor ( think Owen Wilson ) I can’t see this happening in Malek’s case. Moreover, like Brody he came to prominence in one signature role, that due to timing and luck worked out for him. However, he’ll always find it hard to get parts that suit his looks and after a few roles were he fails to impress the offers will simply dry up.

Now I’ve got nothing against Rami, and unlike Brody he seems a far nicer guy, but it will always be very difficult for him to become a lead actor in any project - or even find character roles that will fit him.

He did very well in Bohemian Rhapsody precisely because he was playing a character where his looks benefited him, and all the hard work in preparing for the role paid off. An opportunity to work on a project like that again is unlikely to happen a second time.

The thing is that Malek only needs one good project he's suitable for every once in a while to keep his career going. The problem is that agencies push clients into projects that don't suit their clients and basically attach them to shitty movies that sink the star's career longterm.

The Pianist was fantastic but to act like it had the impact and phenomenon BR did is nonsense.

Malek is the face of a film that made $800 million. Everyone knows him right now. Brody never had that momentum to ride on.

R249 the bitch is just running her mouth. Rami was cast before Singer signed on. They had no director when he signed on. They were worried about finding the right Freddie before anything.

Ah, boys … Malek knows his gay stuff.. Mercury was gay too.

R257 Freddy was technically bisexual. Unlike Elton John, PAul Lynde and a legion of gay men he enjoyed fucking women. However there was something so gay about Freddy no matter what anyone says.

Just because he bearded that doesn't make him bisexual

Freddie fucked pussy too.

Listen everyone knew. Should the costume designer or the set dresser be pilloried along with Rami? How dare Weinstein’s secretary not quit!!!?!?!

Not really, r260.

My thing is why is Rami being singled out? They spoke about the GLAAD controversy earlier on E! And they couldn’t help but mentioning how bad they felt for Rami, and he’s the one person they named specifically, cause this is a huge moment for him being clouded by Singers accusations and Rami shouldn’t be paying the price for what Singer did. They also said they understand why GLAAD did what they did, to be safe, but they fail to realize Singer was only one small part of BR and it’s success, that all the other people involved are being punished for FOX hiring Singer. FOX, the studio, makes the final call and they personally suggested him. Now everyone else is paying and it’s wrong.

Freddie loved him a taco every once in a while.

Why should Rami pay the price for singer's crimes when Harvey's girls dominated award shows for decades?

Yeah, ridiculous.

BEcause this is post metoo idiot at r265.

Rami is being singled out because he’s relevant right now. Calling out someone like JLaw, nobody would care.

You have to call out relevant people in order for this to get picked up.

Also, JLaw did get called out about Weinstein. Nobody really cared cause her career was already becoming a joke.

No one said Rami should pay the price, they were laughing at his "What? Bryan Singer is into teens? I had NO IDEA!!!"

Next week Rami will be saying: what? Trump is a disgusting human being?! I had no idea.

R267 MeToo isn’t ganging up on people that did nothing wrong. And if that’s what it is it needs to be canceled

"Listen everyone knew. Should the costume designer or the set dresser be pilloried along with Rami? How dare Weinstein’s secretary not quit!!!?!?!"

Hearing gossip is not the same thing as knowing for sure that someone is an abuser.....if hearing gossip makes you an enabler then the datalounge enabled Spacey and Singer because we've been gossiping about them for 20 years

"Yes because it is underage sex with teenage boys it doesn't get the same attention. Teenage girls are seen as victims but not teenage boys. Hypocrisy from the feminists out there."

Liar, men who abuse teen boys get harsher sentences than men who abuse girls because they are seen as "gay" and therefore bad. And feminists aren't defending Singer, except in your pea brain.

There’s a lot of sanctimonious assholes out there, r263, who like to call someone out even when they already know the facts. However, many people - especially on social media- will just see Malek as a high profile target due to him being the star of a hit film, which happened to have Singer attached to it at one point. In reality Malek didn’t do anything wrong, and he probably couldn’t have objected anyway when Singer first came onboard.

Bohemian Rhapsody was Malek’s big chance and you can’t blame the guy for seizing the opportunity - especially when Singer wasn’t even involved when Malek was first cast.

R271 but no one knows for sure if Singer did it. It IS GOSSIP, as you described. Nothing has been proven.

And I don’t see how any of this affects Rami.

R267 Did I mention Lawrence in my post? You're the only idiot in this thread.

by the way Lawrence is not the only female actor who benefited from Weinstein.

Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, James Marsden, Famke Jansen, Rebecca Romijn, Ian McKellan, Jennifer Lawrence etc. all are known for working for Singer. But let’s pick on Malek who literally did nothing wrong and was cast prior to him.

No one's talking about Xmen because Bohemian Rhapsody is the movie with his name on it RIGHT NOW

Ian Mckellan is “alleged” to have hung out with Singer a couple of times and he’s been a bit skeevy himself in the past when it comes to younger twink types. I can definitely believe he knew what was going on and didn’t say anything.

I knew nothing. NOTHING!!!

Singer is getting old and FAT.

Spacey is also porking out. Are they stress eating to cope with the pain?

R228 " Hoult didn’t get the part cause he fucked Singer. He was dating J Law at the time. She got him the role"

People magazine = Frau bible

Okay, last time for the people in the back, RAMI WAS CAST MONTHS BEFORE SINGER WAS HIRED! I am sure by the time Singer was hired, Rami had already committed to the film and could do nothing about it. We do know Rami hated Singer and even got into a physical altercation with him. Leave the guy alone. He didn't KNOW anything. He may have HEARD rumors but he didn't know because I doubt Rami was ever the object of Singer's desire. He isn't pretty enough.

He isn’t young enough either.

[quote]He didn't KNOW anything

Yes, listen to this one.

There was an old rumour that I read on both this site and I think a reddit thread, where it was alleged that Spacey, Singer, and maybe Geffen, drugged and sexually abused a young teenage kid so badly that he ended up overdosing and died. They were supposed to have had it all covered up, and the kids body was apparently dumped somewhere for the cops to find. It was never connected to any of them, but according to the rumour some woman who was at the party was horrified by what happened and confided in a friend. However, she’ll never come forward due to the fear of what will happen to her.

I read this well over ten years ago and I didn’t really take it seriously at the time, but after all of the allegations about Spacey and Singer I’m beginning to have second thoughts.

With all the pretty boys running around LA, I'm shocked at how "meh" a lot of the boys pictured with him are. He's still a monster, but you'd think a powerful Hollywood man would get hotter guys,

It’s a known fact in Hollywood Geffen will have you axed.

Look at Mark Salling.

R286 the hot ones aren’t easy to take advantage of.

WTF R193 / Muriel / whoever the hell you think you are.

I have posted here relatively little in 10 years. All I asked in my post at R169 was for some insight as to what could happen behind the scene to stop Esquire Magazine from publishing the BS expose. Or, that keeps local law enforcement agencies from looking in to such egregious behavior/assaults. I'm sure there are some knowleadable, interesting folks in the know here that DO have interesting input.

r289 That was a joke. Muriel is the webmaster, but r193 is not really Muriel.

R290 Thanks for the clarification. I did wonder for a moment and now, I'm a bit embarrased I even responded.

R286, even in L.A., there is probably a limited number of available underaged boys, especially if you run through them quickly.

10 years and you don't know who is Muriel?

The Muriel thing is only a few years old, it started being the nickname for the webmaster when we switched to the current layout.

R205, did you read May’s follow up post?

Comments by Chloe Dykstra -- uggg. Is that how far down we have to reach?

[quote]Doesn’t excuse the bad behavior at all, but helps explain why people haven’t rolled on him sooner.

Bad behavior is when somebody cuts in front of you in line. What Singer does is not 'bad behavior'. It's CRIMINALITY and immorality. 'The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing'.

And even in photographs, Singer has the dead eyes and affect of a sociopath. It couldn't be more obvious that he is not right. How people have managed to completely ignore that is beyond me.

True R292 but even the 19 year old who said he dated Bryan for a year I’m like...”him??”

He’s not ugly, but hardly a head turner

I wonder if the Geography Club is shaking in their boots

TSK TSK Frederick

there are allot of Singer apologists on this sight but also alot of Kevin Spacey apologists as well. In my opinion that is partly due to the fact that many datalounge posters have a great deal of respect for money and power and for people that have made it in their careers to the point these people are untouchable in their view.

Additionally many datalounge posters have a long long history of encounters with much younger men in bar or social situations where there is a lot of alcohol and drug use and inihibitions are absent and they have personally crossed the line to harrasment and unwelcome advances to men and boys that had no interest in them.Thus the downplay or blind eye to Singer and Spacey. It is so endemic in the gay community that it is basically a boys will be boys philosophy,, conveniently overlooking the fact its frequently 60 year olds putting the unwelcome make, if not more, on 16 year olds.

R238, Rami needs to get off drugs, for starters.

Who ever stated upthread that Rami looks fucked up during interviews or during filming, is spot on. It is obvious, and it doesn’t look good.

There are hundreds of guys out there willing to take your spot, and for sure, at least 10 of them will do a better job. Don’t fuck up your career by showing up to work, or promotion of your work, high or drunk.

You wanna party? There’s plenty of time to party after you win a few awards.

I think a lot of these kids - especially the average looking ones - were just easier to manipulate. Some of them were really desperate as well, and Singer must have dangled a few non-existent opportunities in front of them in order to get them to do what he wanted. I remember the one who did the interview was living in a homeless shelter at one point, and he must have been really eager to please Singer, in the hopes of gaining any opportunities he could.

I hope that he commits suicide.

R293 - Yes, I know who Muriel is. I remember the crap she/Metropolis got for the new layout way back when. I'd never actually seen a snarky post using that monker and just had a brain fart in responding.

Metropolis?

C list anthony rapp is putting all actors on NOTICE who dare to work with BS!!!

r306 = butthurt Spacey fan.

R305 - Apologies . . . Mediapolis.

[quote]Singer is getting old and FAT.

Getting? Oh, my sides. He looks like Piggy from Lord of the Flies.

R300 Oh just fuck off back to mumsnet cunt gay hating frau

The people who keep saying that these boys made a choice...it doesn’t matter if they did, the law states otherwise. I’m wondering if the apologists have also indulged in sex with minors.

Why Do Abusers Keep Using Homophobia As Shield?

Does anyone remember that Noah Galvin had to issue two years ago? ABC and his management made him apologize to singer. Galvin did replace Ben Platt on Broadway as Evan Hansen. Galvin called Singers activities out by name. "I sincerely apologize to Bryan Singer for the horrible statement I made," he writes in the statement, which he shared from his Twitter account. "My comments were false and unwarranted. It was irresponsible and stupid of me to make those allegations against Bryan, and I deeply regret doing so." [See Galvin's quote from the interview below.]

He continued, "The entire interview I gave to Vulture has hurt the LGBTQ community and the industry I feel truly fortunate to be a part of."

Yeah, Noah Galvin made the mistake of being too brutally honest in that interview. Even outside the Singer thing, he pissed off a lot of people.

Kid has to learn thatbeing "refreshingly honest" in Hollywood is still speaking your mind in a very strategic way.

[quote]Geffen also invested alongside Bryan Singer in pedophile-front company DEN

Trolls who abuse the term pedophile deserve to be blocked. It has never been alleged, except by freaks, that Singer pursued prepubescents.

Malek has conducted himself with complete dignity throughout, and has defty avoided crticism of Singer, as he rightly should have, as the trial has yet to take place. Yes, Singer had a reputation, but it is ridiculous to expect an actor to determine before undertaking a film whether a director is confining themselves to 18+ year olds. He is not a detective agency. It is the producer and studio’s role to ensure those they hire a fit and proper persons, and even then, it’s something usually taken on faith. At the end of the day, it is a matter for the police.

[quote]a highly inappropriate person in reference to male teens, is not just that one thing, especially if he’s genuinely talented

No one is excused from illegal and predatory behavior simply because they're talented. Because of our flawed system, many get away with it because they're famous or rich or talented or whatever, but their talent does not mitigate their bad behavior.

Neither does being a nice guy. The world is full of people who are nice guys who commit heinous crimes. No one here needs a lecture from you on that phenomenon, because it we all know it happens.

A truly nice guy would have worked to stop his "problem with teenage boys," as you put it, and not used his power and money to take advantage of them.

For the millionth time, r104, THE WORLD DIDN’T HAVE ANY CREDIBLE WITNESSES OR PROOF TO GO AGAINST SINGER UNTIL THIS WEEK!

You’re trying to shame an industry for not convicting someone of a crime without due process and you’re wrong.

HOLLYWOOD DID THE RIGHT THING.

Maybe because Ronan Farrow can’t do everything, R106?

Maybe because it’s not Farrow’s responsibility?

The infants on this thread ... show why you can’t have mob rule. They don’t think right.

Wow, r300 just made up a whole hell of a lot about what DLers do in their spare time. Wonder where that all came from? Just semi random trolling, or is that some disgruntled regular?

r13 Yes Ben Hardys silence is interesting although I suspect if he tried to plead ignorance it would backfire on him badly as it did with Rami. In that picture of him in a group with singer he looks like hes initating a blowjob? I wonder if after that wrap party were the pic was taken that was exactly what he gave Bryan .......?

Singer’s PR people working overtime. Chloe Dykstra is coming after the Hearsts, lol.

Hardy at wrap party

It’s Opposite Day in r111’s city.

Oh, now it makes sense, r321. I forgot that Chloe Dykstra falsely accused her ex, Chris Hardwick, who is married to Lydia Hearst. Explains why a z-lister is inserting herself in this.

So proud of Faye Dunaway for throwing pee in Roman Polanski's face. She's crazy like a fox!

Thanks r322

What's the name of Noah Galvin's management so I can call them out on twitter.

Poor Noah. It was all timing. If he had mouthed off and said what he said TODAY in an interview it'd be totally different.

He just didn't know.

It's odd how things can change so quickly.

Here is Brian May playing a Jimi Hendrix track in 1967. He was HOT with short hair. Why did he never go back to this?!

r216 You forgot to namecheck Tye Sheridan in that list!

Bryan Singer nor Kevin Spacey are serving time. I doubt that they did anything wrong except give some horny teens, sex.

What Roman did was rape and the poor girls worthless mother let him get away with it. Notice how most if the parents of Michael Jackson's victims, had their heads out...lowlife parents who are really just grifters. ..just like the grifter, Trump.

I have to wonder how many of you are actually cobwebbed fraus?

Good grief that blond hair looks absolutely awful!! Did she do it herself?

Here I am defending Singer I don't even like him.

R113 is wrong.

#MeToo and the Harvey Weinstein story broke in the last weeks of shooting BR. Neither Malek, nor the studio nor Queen had enough evidence to discriminate against Bryan Singer before signing on to the movie.

The USC students and r112 are witch-hunting mobs. They had nothing to go on but the Apt Pupil debacle and Egan’s lawsuit. The former could have been a misunderstanding and Egan was a previous con man proven lying in several instances who had to retract his claims.

R112 is an obvious idiot and hater when he says that “hiring a prostitute for a movie role = child rapist!”

She needs to stop pretending that the hate for Singer on Datalounge wasn’t driven mostly by envy. All we knew for sure was that Singer likes twinks.

It’s physically impossible for one person to investigate every creep in Hollywood.

R106 / r120 is an idiot.

If this costs Rami his Oscar, I am going to be pissed. Who the fuck wants Christian Bale to win for "Vice" instead.

I've just watched the movie, I have to say, the MUSIC makes the movie, it's done big bucks because of the music. NOT because of Rami, in fact, I think his performance was not Oscar worthy. NOBODY has the stage presence and charisma that matches Freddy.

For most of the movie, in the music performances, Rami was only shown for 1 second or less. His body is too slight and looks nothing like Freddy. Freddy is not handsome but he is not as ugly as Rami. The wigs are horrendous in this movie. The only guy I thought that looked good was the guy who played Brian May.

In fact, I am watching Queen's Live Aid performance on youtube and Freddy is just out of this world. NOBODY has even come close to the way he commands the stage and certainly not Rami. He did an OK job. Not oscar worthy.

Agree, R339, and why watch fake when the real thing is online for free?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R339. I also just saw the movie (it's back here at the local plex after Oscar moms came out) and I astonished by how awful and cheesy it was--so unintentionally campy that I finally relaxed and had a good time spotting as many cliches and old movie connections I could make. I think Malek is genuinely a good actor, but the script's characterization was so flat that it seemed a mashup of every Susan Hayward also lic performance, crossed with Neely O'Hara, Barbra's "Watch Closely Now" finale, C. Aubrey Smith's plummy speech, and Greer Garson's dental prosthetics as Eleanor Roosevelt in "Sunrise at Campobello." So OTT it probably WILL win Actor. And if it takes BP, it will rival The Greatest Show on Earth and Crash as the least artful films to take the top prize. Singer should be arrested for directing!

That pic at R103 reminded me of what a shitty Lex Luthor Kevin Spacey was. And the movie sucked too.

r341 Good for Ellen ,We need more like her.

Yes r343....but Brandon Routh sure is pretty.

[quote] Lerner confirmed that Singer would still collect his $10M paycheck for the upcoming Red Sonja

My understanding from previous reports is that Singer gets $10 million IF the Red Sonja box office reaches a certain level. So the Red Sonja people must think they are getting a deal with Singer. His previous film (BR) generated tons of money, and if he can't do that for them, they won't be paying him the big bucks.

In contrast, here's a deal an successful A list director might get- "In addition to a $20 million lump sum for directing the 2017 movie "Dunkirk," Christopher Nolan received 20 percent of the movie's gross ticket sales." - Chrom.com

They could be referring to Brad Renfro, r209.

I'm getting fucking sick of every poster with a conscience and a reasonable code of ethics being accused of frauhood. You don't have to be a woman to think targeting the young and vulnerable for sexual abuse is repugnant. I've been a DLer for years, and seeing so many defend the perpetrators of this shit makes me wonder what the hell kind of people I've been spending my time with all these years. Some of you are truly fucked up.

“Bryan had me [and two other men] in the bed,” Skopek says. “And we probably all took turns fucking Bryan."

Bwahhahahahhahaaa Singer is a big ol' bossy bottom (probably sloppy too). I always figured since he was so into teenagers (who look even younger) that he be the top.

Too fuckin' funny - but still awful cuz what a fuckin' creep.

I am glad it is in the open, the me too movement is not only for white privileged women, but for all those that are preyed upon, and young gay men are abused. The unbalance of power is what an abuser uses to silence a victim. This is not about BR but the hypocrisy of an industry that, like Weinstein and R Kelly, knew what was going on, but ignored if they made money.

Emma Watts, Fox’s vice chair and president of production, had had concerns when the project came their way with Singer already attached. BUT SINGER HAD THE SUPPORT OF THE SURVIVING MEMBERS OF QUEEN"

So Brian May and Roger Taylor support the predator - nice to know....

R349 Bryan is well KNOWN as a bossy bottom. And that boy in that pic is...entirely forgettable.

VICE takes another swing at Bryan Singer = "Will Hollywood Listen to GLAAD's Bold Stand Against Bryan Singer?"-------Link Below

It's funny. I wrote comments on Vulture.com under its articles announcing The Atlantic piece and the news that Singer would get to stay on Red Sonja. The comments explained why I thought Singer has been able to get away with his shit for two decades. Two days after I posted them the comments were deleted by the editors. Even though my comments in other entertainment publications like Deadline, Variety, and Entertainment Weekly stayed up. Looks like the predator has protectors in more places than we thought...

R315 Malek has conducted himself with complete dignity throughout

What dignity? He literally throw Mercury's ghost under the bus

Yes r342, it's really not a great movie at all. The silver lining of this saga is there is no chance that it can win now, which would have been a joke.

R120 Everybody knew about Jackson's perversion

Painful. Brutally upsetting. Triggering. My heart is incredibly broken. I’m sorry y’all. This hurts. Bad. #LeavingNeverland

How Hollywood Failed Brad Renfro

Another site naming names of alleged victims and Hollywood types....

One of Bryan Singers multiple "appearances" on DL Fave Blind Gossip....

BR is fine as a film. No it’s not about the music, cause of that were the case the film wouldn’t have made $800 million. Go look up movies about music and see how much they earn. This is like nothing else and it’s because it made people FEEL GOOD and people connected with Ramis performance. If it were just about “Music” the album would have sold a hell of a lot more. Dumb broads on here.

Malek gave a universally praised performance.

And how convenient that the SAME HATERS that have been bashing the movie for weeks JUST SAW IT TONIGHT at the SAME TIME and hated it even though they claimed to hate it for months now.

In case they don’t know when you block them you can see a bunch of the other hater comments go away. Dumbasses.

directors who can f*ck off

R49 Brant looked so thirsty that Singer would have never gotten anything done but fucking him.

R359 Poor Brad - he was an addict and sex symbol at age 12. Him and Corey Haim, but I wonder how many more there have been that were never famous, but had their lives eaten up through childhood.

Regarding r354. I read somewhere that some sites delete comments for not being "on brand" (as in too controversial or not supporting the site's or article's narrative). The times where just racist posters got banned and their comments deleted are long gone.

[quote]but you'd think a powerful Hollywood man would get hotter guys,

You don't understand paraphilia, or personality disorder.

Singer and his type require total control in all situations, and take sexual pleasure from corrupting, using, degrading, and then devaluing and discarding partners who are much younger, much poorer, and much more emotionally needy than him. The looks that attract a normal gay man to a 'hot' adult man are not what Singer gets off on. He is sadistic, likes to cause confusion, humiliating and distress, and likes the feeling he gets from tossing those he has hurt into aside. He is an empty, pathetic, soulless, immature, jaded, cruel and destructive figure who cannot form healthy close relationships.

[quote]No one's talking about Xmen because Bohemian Rhapsody is the movie with his name on it RIGHT NOW

WELL OKAY, all-caps boy, but that still doesn’t make a lot of sense and it’s very unfair. Can we still call out basic unfairness? Or does everything have to conform to RIGHT NOW, which also happens to be a very dark and dangerous period in our history.

People like you need to be called out for twisting the narrative, when common sense and basic decency says his closest, longest collaborators should be held accountable the most, not one actor from one movie. Me too is about a culture that needs to be changed, institutions that need to be reformed, and abusive individuals who need to be identified and dealt with. Your approach is too focused on the wrong people, which makes you instantly suspect.

wow Rami's PR is strong in this thread. That was not Oscar worthy. I haven't seen Lady Gaga's film, I'm gonna watch it tonight. At least Cooper sings for real in it.

The movie Queen is not about the music??? WTF? I'm sorry but it was the music that made the movie, otherwise it was nothing special for 2hrs.

I wonder what Susan Sarandon saw on that set. Poor kid.

[Quote] Yes [R343]....but Brandon Routh sure is pretty.

They're always pretty.

R336 is an idiot. Even with the witch Hunt nonsense, having things named after you is a privilege, not a right

Can that hater get FFd off this board? He seriously doesn’t stop

r366, thanks -- good to know

R367. How did Michele Clunie not see the signs? That's some deal with the devil she made to agree to be his broodmare.

Sylvester Stallone Exposing Michael Jackson

I thought I read she was paid a million dollars? Surely there are ongoing payments as well as that is not much $. Perhaps she got a house and a trust for the kid? She was aging out of an acting career and had long been friends with and even bearded for him. Clearly her moral compass is absent. In the biz it is called growing your own victim. These people are abhorrent. There are always enablers.

R375 she's probably a closeted lesbian desperate for money

R377 I thought I read she was paid a million dollars

Yes this is true much like Weinstein's lesbian wife

Well she can't have made much from being on Teen Wolf lol

Hey, , r362, r342. You sound a bit over-heated--why don't you dampen a washcloth and make a cool compress and lie down until the voices go away (for now). I'm sure you don't believe me, but I did just see BR last night, for a simple reason. It got mediocre reviews and then, by the time it got enough awards notice to make me curious to see how it could be as critically underwhelming but a contender in awards season, it had left the area (I live in a college town). The producers no doubt brought it back to cash in on the Oscar nominations. BTW, there were all of 8 of us at the 7:15 showing, so we'll see how that strategy worked for them.

I've never posted on the film or Malek before, so your "conspiracy theory" about "haters" is just a delusion. For the record, I like Malek, based on "Mister Robot," of which I saw some of the first season. Do I think he gave an awards caliber performance? Not compared, say, to Ethan Hawke, who wasn't even nominated. Do I think his nomination signals the end of civilization as we know it? Hardly, and if he wins, well, the Academy has given its awards to far worse performances (Sandra Bullock, anyone?--and, again, I like her, just not in that stupid movie). I stand by my evaluation of the film itself--poorly directed (though the concert sequence at the end has a pulse that is undeniably exciting, which given its history, should surprise no one. The screenplay has all the cliches of the category of film, a missed opportunity to do something more interesting these days--they were cliches when Doris Day did Ruth Etting in "Love Me or Leave Me" with Cagney in 1955--and at least Dodo find her own dinging (quite well, and she rose above the cliches, as Malek sometimes does in BR).

As to Singer, it seems undeniable that he is a troubled, dark, and very likely dangerous person, with the morals and ability to restrain himself of our current President. If 1/10 of the stories about him are true, he need to be "drummed out of Hollywood," and either brought up on legal charges, if he did fuck with minors and/or gave anyone dangerous date-rape types of drugs, thus precluding consent. That's for the justice system to determine. As I posted before, the ONLY time I posted on Singer, a former student told me about what sounded like a predatory encounter he had with Singer, though nothing illegal, and it happened long enough ago--way before the recent rumors--that none of the allegations surprise me.

When someone is genuinely a gifted artist, it's difficult to know how to approach their work when we find out awful things about their private conduct--in our time, Polanski seems to me the prime example (I think things are much murkier with Woody Allen, Ronan Farrow's Pulitzer as a journalist notwithstanding). We can identify such individuals throughout history. This isn't the case with Singer--he's hardly an artist, but a businessman instead, and apparently one who can't even finish doing his job and who had to be replaced. I wouldn't (and didn't boycott) BR as a protest against him. The timing of who knew what when and who came on the project when was too overdetermined for that to be a factor. It just sounded too shlocky (and I can enjoy schlock). I was right--it IS schlock, with a decent, good faith performance by a talented actor. But, even though I was amused by the film, it was not because it was good.

Or, you can just fuck off. That's a good option, too.

Regarding Clunie. Hollywood is like a cult where you think being the surrogate for a baby daddy who is a well known creep is a good idea that will help you and your career longterm. When you spend too much time in Hollywood your moral compass gets all loopy. Of course for us outsiders Clunie giving birth to a child and handing it over to Singer is a really bad. The same way we feel sorry for Perez Hilton's kids.

Sorry, Clunie giving birth to a child and handing it over to Singer is a really bad IDEA.

R173 It’s not “unpleasant to read” that Bryan Singer is not a raging ogre wildebeest of a person to every person he encounters. You seem to be arguing a case that because he is kind to some people and has helped some people’s careers that that is somehow a reason for people to excuse his fucking underaged boys and allegedly sexually assaulting some people. Comparing him favorably to Weinstein based on Weinstein being a dick to everyone is whatsboutism; it’s a false argument. Anyone could just as well counterargue that Jeffrey Dahmer was “a nice quiet young man” to a lot of people and that Ted Bundy was charming. So what? Both were killers, at least one of them a cannibal. So Singer has friends. That’s an excuse not to report his crimes for the sake of protecting future victims?

r351 That is the biggest bullshit. Brian May and Roger Taylor were obviously informed in detail about everything Singer ever did and were overheard screaming "You make this movie with a teen rapist or not at all!!" while Fox exces wept in the corner and begged them to think of the children.

Hilarious, r385, and I assume you’re being sarcastic. However, I’m disappointed in Brian May, he’s always struck me as a decent guy. I can only assume he didn’t pay much heed to any of the rumours about Singer.

R381, that poster is a Rami stan. or probably paid PR from his mgmt firm.

so obvious when he/she said it was Rami who made the film and not the music. lol.

Even the last few min of the movie (of the live aid concert) pales in comparison of the real live aid concert by Queen. Just go to Youtube and check it out yourself.

Not sure if anyone could even come close to Freddy, he was unmatched in his stage presence and showmanship. But in some parts of the film, even my partner was commenting about Rami's appearance...so ugly. Maybe the borat actor might have been a better choice..who knows? In all the performing scenes, Rami is only shown for a nano second and then they show other band members or pan to the audience...he doesn't even have half the charisma that Freddy had. An OK performance by Rami, he did his best I suppose.

Nobody cares in Hollywood, it's all about how much money you can make them.

I actually thought Rami was phenomenal and his Live Aide version had more energy and power. The real one lacked that energy and Freddie was very chill in it. (Fact is HE DIDNT EVEN WANT TO DO IT).

No one has Freddie’s charisma. There are certain qualities of people that can’t be mimicked. No matter how many actresses play Marilyn Monroe i don’t feel ANY OF THEM have a hold on her and lack her natural charm, charisma and presence.

Rami wasn’t any uglier than Freddie. I’m sick of people pretending Freddie was this beauty suddenly just to attack Rami. And Rami looked hot as fuck in the 80s years as Freddie.

And “Borat” actor isn’t an actor. He’s a stunt comedian. Go to film school. Get educated on films before you open your mouth about them without a clue what you’re speaking of. Here he is dumping dust on Ryan Seacrest at the Oscars Red Carpet and getting kicked out. He was supposed to present that night and wasn’t allowed back in so someone else had to present last minute.

THAT is what “Borat” does. He’s not an actor.

r386 He likely wouldn't even have heard them or known of Singer's existence for any reason before meeting him.

R389, get your eyes checked. or better yet, raise your standards!

R391 my eyes are great. You should sign off of here as all you seem to post about is Rami bashing. Please GET A LIFE.

R388 has it right.

R389: You could say the same thing about actors like Brad Pitt, Marky Mark, and Tammy Cruise. None of them went to film school, or took acting classes before making it in the biz. I actually don’t like Cohen, but I think he would have been the ideal choice to play Mercury, as he wanted to focus the movie more on Freddie’s life.

Freddy was ok looking, and very manly. Rami is not attractive. Rami is a little boy compared to Freddy in terms of manliness. I saw the movie when it came out, really good to hear the songs in theater with great sound system. Acting-wise, nothing stood out.

No, Cohen didn’t want to focus on Mercury’s life, he wanted to focus on the TABLOIDS about Mercury that his PA denounced numerous times. May was not trying to make a filth film whose source material were tabloids and Taylor didn’t want Cohen cause while doing research he discovered he isn’t an actual actor and they wanted an ACTOR for the role, not someone using Mercury to gain attention on themselves.

And your examples of famous actors makes no sense. They went into acting and succeeded but weren’t on a forum trash talking an actual actor for a comedian that uses shock to be famous.

I’d take Malek as Mercury over Mercury any day. Mercury was not handsome despite how much people wanna pretend he was NOW. Cause a couple of months ago the general concensus was he was hideous on here. Now suddenly he’s this beauty, which no one really feels, they just want to trash Malek.

PS it’s only a few. The same few posting over and over again.

You’re obviously a paid shill, r396. Cohen wanted to concentrate more on Freddie, especially his personal life and relationships. However, May and Taylor wanted to focus on the band, and push this portrayal of a saint like Freddie. The truth about wanting a real actor ( LOL as if Rami is Lawrence Olivier ) was just an excuse due to Cohen disagreeing with both of them on how to develop the script.

R398

I think he is Rami-hating troll.

No amount of drugs, booze or plastic surgery can erase the psychological scars of Hollywood.

R398 is THE Rami hating troll. He has been here for weeks saying the same exact thing over and over and over.

And no, May was clear on why he didn’t like Cohen. Almost every role Cohen has done has been nothing short of crude and full of shock value. But for this he just wanted to show Mercury’s personal life? No. He wanted to show what tabloids showed and May wasn’t having it.

"we need more like her". More certifiable nutcases like Ellen Barkin?

God, some of you people have short memories. Barkin got major shit when he was revealed (she bragged about it to the press) that she had pulled down Dennis Quaid's pants and exposed his ass to camera without telling him she was going to, let alone asking permission. Even back then, people said, "Imagine if a guy did that to a woman..."

Talk about "birds of a feather." What a fucking hypocrite but what else is new.

r398 SBC told us what he wanted to do and in involved "wild stories" like "dwarfs running around with cocaine on their heads"., which is an unconfirmed rumor. Focusing more on Freddie's relationships. You gotta be kidding.

You are right about what May and Taylor wanted though: a tribute to Freddie and Queen. Good for them and well done!

...Would you care about Freddie Mercury if he wasn't the legendary singer of Queen? Why?

Why are people here talking about ugly bug eyed beggar filth Maleck, who sure is ugly. This thread is about the child rapist, so fuck off to the Rami threads you mental stan cunts

I don’t know why you’re so invested in defending any of this, R401. I’m not the Rami hating troll, as I’ve never commented on anything to do with Malek until I posted on this thread. I also don’t post much on Datalounge, so how you get off by saying I’ve been commenting on here for weeks is hilarious. I’ve got nothing against Rami Malek, and all I was saying was that the film would have probably been far more interesting if it had focused on Freddie’s life like Cohen wanted it to in the first place. And the “tabloid” aspects of Mercury’s life you keep referring to is simply another way of stating that May and Taylor wanted to sanitise any unsavoury aspects of Freddie’s story for their own selfish reasons. They’ve been invested for years in portraying Freddie as this saint like icon who struggled heroically ( no pun intended ) with aids. The truth is their version of his life is nothing but a PC whitewash, and it does a great disservice to the real man that Freddie Mercury actually was.

Cohen didn’t want to focus on Mercury’s home life though. He wanted to focus on Tabloids.

What is it you aren’t getting?

r406 Oh fuck off ya obsessed fuckwit, you have no idea what ya ugly mate May wanted, now go and wank over ya bug eyed beggar boyfriend

R407 How many accounts do you have?

[quote]May and Taylor wanted to sanitise any unsavoury aspects of Freddie’s story for their own selfish reasons.

Uh huh. And if we image for one second that May and Taylor might have kinda liked Freddie or at least started to after his death. What kind of movie would they have made in such a case? One showing him in explicit orgy scenes based on tabloid descriptions, even if imaginary? Right.

To think Freddie would be so insulted by being adored, that is only something people like May and Taylor would want for Freddie and themselves "for selfish reasons", can be called nothing but dumb, not sorry to say.

*imagine

R406: What the fuck aren’t you getting!! Cohen wanted to portray Freddie’s relationships, his sexuality, basically his life fuckwit. And you’re delusional r409, most people would have accepted a more mature portrayal of Mercury’s life.

May and Taylor wanted to introduce their Queen music catalog to a new generation of consumers. They didn't want to showcase the nitty, gritty life of rockstars. They basically wanted a Mamma Mia version of how great they and their music are.

Lmaoooo no. BR full of drugs and sex and gay orgies would not have been a hit.

You all are delusional if you believe that.

r411 You are delusional. He wanted to use his image for an edgy movie full of untrue but edgy stories.

BR showed his life, in a respectful, glossy, upbeat way. His relationships, his sexuality, it was all there, but most screen time was dedicated to his utter awesomness, as it's the thing that actually matters about him.

I believe what I read.

[quote] BR full of drugs and sex and gay orgies would not have been a hit.

HBO's Vinyl should have been like that.

R413: I actually read an in depth interview that Cohen did about why he backed out of the film. He wasn’t going to concentrate on the orgies and drugs, however he did want to make it more edgy, and he was willing to compromise with both May and Taylor in order to achieve it. But May made it plain that he wasn’t interested; what was important to him was to make sure the main focus was on the band. And It’s not like Cohen would have been given carte Blanche to do whatever he wanted anyway.

The movie as a whole would have benefited from someone who wanted to explore different aspects of Freddie’s life.

Yes, Sasha Baron Cohen has been very vocal about the difference of opinion he had with the band and why he left the film.

And May made the absolute right decision! (EXCEPT with Singer, which this thread is supposed to be about btw) Nothing could possibly have beaten the success that BR had.

Do you, SBC stan, actually believe that SBC has the same or MORE moral right to use Queen music however the fuck he wants to as Brian May and Roger Taylor? How would you justify this? It's their music, be grateful or not, but stop the whining.

Also May has said that Cohen isn’t being 100% honest about what he wanted. That Cohen made it clear he wanted to have orgies etc. and that’s what caused May to turn on him being cast.

Cohen “backed out” cause he couldnt get can’t regardless without May and Taylor’s approval, which he lost very quickly.

To respond to R146 -

1)Netflix did pay him because they already filmed two episodes & Spacey didn't have a morals clause in his contract.

2)They did inject curiosity for the show at first, but they completely killed it once they let everyone know he died before an episode was aired. That turned off a lot of viewers, including me.

3)Remember, they fired him not because of the Rapp allegation. They fired him because of the House of Cards allegations. When eight former staffers went to the press about his harassment, Netflix had no choice. The nail in the coffin was the Harry Dreyfuss story. The cut all ties with him that following week.

Exactly R388. That's why there are some people that are being protected. Notice how many of the stars that have talked about being harassed or assaulted won't name the director or producer? That's not a coincidence. Money is still a priority in Hollywood and even people in the industry are fearful of losing their paycheck. That's been one of the conundrums with Netflix - yes they'll greenlight damn near every project BUT the paycheck will be less.

Guess what Rami/BohRap fan? Just because a movie makes money in Europe doesn’t mean it’s good. Bohemian Rhapsody is a garbage film with writing, performances and editing that belongs on Lifetime. It appeals to a majority of people because a majority of people are dumb. They watch crap films because they don’t want to think and want to be spoon-fed generic happy tales with one dimensional characters, not complex deconstructions of human behavior. Freddie wasn’t a saint. But you actually don’t get any kind of sense who he actually was from Bohemian Rhapsody and that’s exactly what they wanted. It’s bland and boring and that’s what’s mostly upsetting about the film. It doesn’t capture Freddie Mercury at all.

Not hating on Rapp but lets just be honest here R306 & R307, Star Trek Discovery is doing so badly, CBS put the first episode of S2 on YouTube for free. So he can make threats all he wants to. He's going to be out of a job soon.

r423 That's mirrors the reception Queen had at their height almost perfectly. It was never for snobs.

Funny how half the haters go with "Freddie was a saint in the movie as May and Taylor try to present him since his death (for selfish reasons)" while the other half goes with "Freddie was the villain in the movie, May and Taylor must have a grudge". A quick analysis shows me: apparently he was complex in the film or people are just talking completely out of their asses.

I’m certainly not an SBC fan, r419. And I actually think Cohen is out for himself. However, I do think he would have been a better fit for BR. He also would have had May and Taylor to rein him in, so I’m sure it wouldn’t have ended up as some kind of sordid hatchet job that you keep alluding to. Obviously the surviving band members have a vested interest in the movie, it reflects back on them, as two of the original members of Queen. The fact they ended up going with Malek was simply due to him being a safer bet when compared to Cohen, who had his own ideas.

Now if Cohen wanted to completely exploit the legacy of Freddie Mercury for his own ends then I’d agree with many of the points you’ve made, however, I actually think he wanted to be taken more seriously as an actor and he saw this movie as a way to achieve it. I’m speculating here but I think Cohen wanted to make a good movie and put in a good performance for that very reason, but Brian May was dead set against taking any chances. And you have to remember, the other band members resent the focus being on Freddie, whether Taylor or May like it or not the majority of people who are going to see this movie are doing so because of Freddie Mercury. And that’s one of the main problems May had with Cohen, he didn’t like the fact that Sacha wanted to concentrate more on Freddie’s life.

Anyway I’m not going to post on this anymore as this thread is supposed to be about Singer.

R425 people who think Freddie was the villain in Bohemian Rhapsody only do so because all gay people were presented as villainous. Or not worthy of having more than one emotion/motive. So, one dimensional.

Freddie was not a villain. Cohen isn’t an actor. Move the fuck on. And BoRhap earner $600 million in just Europe?

I swear you guys keep showing you’re nothing but old, fat, ugly jealous miserable gay fucks that are delusional to boot!

This film was released all over the world minus China. Stupid motherfuckers.

R428 what does our being gay men have to do with anything? Your homophobia is disgusting and you don’t deserve to be on here harassing us over your Rami Malek obsession. Gtfo. Frau, bye.

Can we go back to talking about how Bryan Singer has drugged and raped underage kids?

I need all the gays on here to preemptively promise that they will boycott Red Sonja, and encourage everyone else to do so on their social media accounts when it comes out. That won't be necessary if Singer is fired/commits suicide before then, but given his ability to come out unscathed, he'll probably still be attached.

I don't think the poster meant it as an anti gay thing but fact is that the gay men on here act very delusional. I am gay myself and I see delusional comments way too often. Where is the realism?

And they are no more a Malek fan than the rest of you haters. Fact is that no matter how much you sit on here whining, the movie made over $800 million, breaking records, and made a household name of its lead as well as got him nominations all season and a few wins. You can claim he sucked so bad, but critics and people voting for awards say otherwise.

Red Sonja is DOA

R432 except mediocre shit is praised all the time. Doesn’t mean it’s actually good or worthy. Just means enough people have convinced enough people they should like it.

Mediocre shit may get praised all the time, doesn't mean they get Oscar nominations... which BR did, as well as BAFTA, SAG, and Golden Globes as well as other awards.... keep hating.

Checking out JohnDoe and Enty Lawyer, they’ve gone full swing with their Pedowood stuff. Their crowd is now trying to claim Judith Barsi’s death by her dad is a pedo ring murder now

Jesus Christ R435

Lol, I looked at some of that stuff on Twitter. It's the Pizzagate crowd, talking about how "they" knew about Spacey and Weinstein and Singer forever ago.

Yeah, who don't, you Qsucking psychos?

The other weird part is how An Open Secret unironically tweeted QAnon people before the supposed reveal day didn’t happen and now they suddenly claim it’s false. They also supported Roy Moore through his outing as a child molester until he lost. They also defend Trump being pals with Lolita Expressman Jeffrey Epstein and supporting Roy Moore but come down hard on everyone else. I’d love to see their faces if Trump got exposed as a diddler.

How much involvement overall did Singer have with Bohemian Rhapsody?

He was the director until the final 2 weeks then was canned. However, he didn't film many times, with the choreographer having to Direct when Singer would leave early, come late or not show up at all.

I heard he directed about 60-70% of it.

Thanks, r440.

Gizmodo takes a swing at Bryan Singer still working after the latest allegations...Link Below....

Is there any other conclusion here besides Singer has a lot of dirt on some big players? I’ll bet he’s got the number of the biggest of the bigs, people like Geffen. Seth McFarland on an episode of American Dad made big implications about Spielberg being a perv, and Seth has been the biggest outer of these creeps since long before metoo. I’ll bet Singer has dirt on the big bosses.

You’d think he’d have Geffen and other contacts on speed dial the way he’s been pretty untouchable till late.

I'm pretty sure he has dirt on other bigwigs. But it's not just that. He probably still continues to supply them with twinks at the ready (he seems to be the most talented one in Hollywood for that), and they have no intention of losing that. It's almost laughable how obvious this whole situation has made it clear to people that there are serious degenerates and criminals operating in Hollywood. But in a world where pussygrabber Trump is president, I guess it makes sense.

For every pimp or child procurer who gets caught and thrown into prison there are ten waiting to take over his job. These Hollywood bigwigs don't need Bryan Singer to give them access to boys.

Have they even started casting Red Sonja? No actress is going to want to come near that role.

I wouldn’t call Seth MacFarlane an outer - Weinstein was well known within Hollywood and Seth has had pervs Andy Dick and James Woods on Family Guy, Woods especially on multiple occasions. And besides, is everyone forgetting how one of the recurring jokes on Family Guy is the pedo creep character? Or that an episode had Peter possess child porn? I’m surprised the Pizzagaters haven’t gone after him yet.

Red Sonja herself threatens Bryan

I wonder if Johnny Orlando will be cast in a Bryan Singer movie next?....Does Red Sonja have a little brother?...

I didn’t mean to imply Seth was a hero r448, just that he’s in the know, an insider, and already made his money so he has little to loose by talking. He’s an ass and FG is the absolute gutter of shows, but he can be right and even do good things despite that.

R450 Gah, he'd better have body armor.

[quote]Have they even started casting Red Sonja? No actress is going to want to come near that role.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to be involved with "Red Sonja" after all this, from the starring role down to the extras. But considering how many (literally) starving actors there are out there, you never know.

r453, I bet Michelle Clunie is trying on red wigs as we post these comments.

They'll be able to find starving actors for the movie (likely some foreign ones). But they'll be so low on the totem pole that it won't be enough to justify the budget. Lesser-known superhero properties like this need some kind of star power to bring in crowds (e.g., Jason Momoa in Aquaman or Paul Rudd in Ant-Man).

Bryan Singer's an idiot for continuing with this. The entire production's gonna be hounded by bad press, aided by constant social media criticism. Opening weekend will be filled with protests and calls for boycotts. And when the movie fails, it will be the final ignominious death knell for his career. If he weren't an arrogant, entitled jerk who was so used to getting away with everything, he would bow out quietly now.

r451 But only the Weinstein jab was confirmed as Seth knowing. Everything else is pure speculation and people blew the SS thing on American Dad into something else, as Spielberg was never mentioned in the Goonies parody and the joke was Roger having a sex doll, not raping the kids. And if Seth was in the know, why does he let James Woods and Andy Dick on his shows or Patrick Stewart for that matter? He clearly must’ve known things about Bryan if Stewart has been involved.

It'll be Beastmaster all over again.

I love the fucked up Rami stan , obviously a fucked up frau, coming on here to talk about how terrible gay men are for wanting an honest and decent depiction of gay men in a film about a notorious homosexual. Bitch, just leave, you are so obvious. And foul

Seth also served as a producer for Cosmos with Neil Degrasse Tyson, who is accused of rape too. If he's so in the know, why has he worked with rapists and done nothing if he's supposedly an outer of them? And it's not like SS doesn't have enemies. He's got them in Crispin Glover, Megan Fox, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Shia LeBeauf to name a few, plus he gave a vocal endorsement of #MeToo and #TimesUp and had a major blockbuster this year. Yes, I know what kind of money he's got, but you'd think someone would want to speak up on his hypocrisy if that were the case. And he has four biological children between Amy Irving and Kate Capshaw, so it's a little odd to think he's a pedo with that many kids of his own. Again, Hollywood is a cesspool where money talks and covers up tons of horrible shit, but the theory doesn't make much sense compared to Queen Geffen and Jackson, who have dirty laundry available.

I wonder if his baby mama Michelle Cluine is still backing him up? She's taken all of her social media accounts to private.

She probably realized she's screwed for associating with him.

r459 Didn't SS make an enemy of Julia Roberts after the one and only film she worked on with him?

R462 No, she was a fucked up mess on the set of 'Hook'

Crisper Glover has also made huge illusions about SS being a creep though r459, kind of infamously actually. And pedos don’t just go after boys, it's not about attraction at all but corrupting innocence and just the power thrill. That scene in American Dad was a rather blatant wink and nudge too, so much that it’s surprising that it got past censorship. Seth doesn’t have to be personally a good, clean soul to be right about this. He’s in a very unique position of not having to suck up to the big wigs since he’s raking in residuals from FG so he can talk more.

Oddly enough, SS seems to be the one person An Open Secret won't go after or believe is a pedo, given John Doe regularly tweets about him and yet they never retweet or highlight those tweets.

Then what is the consensus on SS then?

R466 Their uniforms were hot

No not those SS. The SS whose a director everyone seems to think is a pedo. And I thought Crispin Glover's thing was because he wrote a long rambling essay that was just question after question that included blaming him for Columbine and equating him to Joseph Goebbels. Hardly proof when it's just Glover flexing his hatred and being provocative.

Hope he hangs himself or something.

I wouldn't be surprised if Singer offs himself at this point

Breaking------Anthony Rapp takes a swing at not only Bryan Singer----but anyone who works with him........Link Below...

Do we think any actors who have already chosen to work with him in recent years will suffer career wise for it? If so who?

Anthony Rapp's tweets said his blast was specifically for anyone who works on Red Sonja, he's sparing Bohemian Rhapsody.

Even Dylan Geick is now distancing himself from Singer. He went from a "friend" to "a man I've met a few times."

r473 BR is over, wake up

I wonder what the mother of his kid thinks of all this? Havent they been besties for decades? And, she still had a kid with him.

R332 Polanski shoved his raw cock up a thirteen year old girl's ass. What a sick fuck he was. He's a criminal and got away with murder.

I'm Facebook friends with Michelle Clunie. I lived in the neighbourhood where QAF was filmed and met the cast a few times, kept in touch with a couple of them and added her when she first joined years ago. Haven't had contact with her since she was about to give birth though. She got like a million dollars and a house paid for (about 1.5 million I think) plus child support. She's still regularly posting on Facebook but not a peep about anything good. She's acting like everything's fine and normal which I guess it is for her. Today alone there's 5 or 6 statuses about her going to an Elton John concert and bragging that he was one of the first people to find out she was pregnant. Before that she was posting about buying a book about MLK, campaigning for Obama and LGBTQ rights and calling Trump "insane" and that his behaviour is "horrific" (ironic considering who's baby she had and the article that's come out) .

Thank you for posting, R 478.

472 = Me on February 24, 2019------Rami Malek

Breaking News-------Daily Beast throws down on Bryan Singer and producer Avi Lerner....

A slimeball Jewish producer? In Hollywood?

Comment on a post about having sugar daddies

Dear god that Lerner dude sounds awful. He went from serving in an occupying army to sleazing his way through Hollywood. Yuck. At this point every studio head should be replaced.

This tweet didn't age well either. Suddenly Danny Boy's gone silent.

Snort

R485 = clearly my love to boyfriends doesn't always come with a dental plan-----Bryan S.

Damn, that Malek dude is ugly.

R96 you live in a flyover state. I love how the majority of the responses are from people who claim to know how hollywood 'works' in buttkiss Idaho. lol.... How there is some secret ring of abusers who all have secret lunches in huge mansions in the hills, with sex slaves, child porn, drugs, etc. It exists, but my lord, the organization yall think it has... Pizza gate, right wing leaking everywhere.

r132 simple. METOO was happening at the time... when the Singer story first started, none of that was happening, thats why. Simple.

r464 yes Crispin is the pinnacle of someone sane. Gurl bye!

Remember the guy that I've mentioned in the Kevin Spacey thread? The one that claimed Singer shoved his finger up his ass in the middle of the street and was harassed by Singer's thugs when he related the incident after Anthony Rapp came forward? He deleted his social media for a while and moved out of LA. Now he's back. I won't link to his account because I know Singer's shills are reading this. Here's his story:

[quote] I first met #BryanSinger in 2000. My boyfriend was one of his best friends, so I had many interactions with him. From the first time I met him, he was always on something. He also constantly hit on me, always asking me to show him my dick or ass.

When I’d tell my boyfriend about this, he’d say “oh Bryan just gets playful when he’s high”. But we stopped dropping by his house at my insistence. We’d still bump into him at parties. He almost always had a “posse

This was always him, 2-3 older 50-70 year old men who were obviously on drugs but still wearing their dress shirts & pants (he introduced them as producers) and at least 5 to sometimes 10 young men. I should really say boys, none of them could’ve been older than 16 or 17.

They were all aspiring models/actors who were always doped up & partially naked. Bryan always made a point to tell me they were going to his place for a “private party” & asked me to come with them. I said no every time.

This same scenario happened 5 times. Every time, the cast was different. Different gross old “producers”, different harem of boys. But every time, Bryan tried to convince me to join, offering me drugs, even offering me a bit part in X Men 2.

One night, I asked him who these old men were, & he said “they have a lot of money”. I then asked who all these young guys were & he said, “does it matter?” & laughed. And I laughed back. Yes, I hate myself for it. I don’t really have an excuse.

This same situation had played out so many times, & even though I knew what was happening was awful, I think part of me had resigned myself to the fact that this was Hollywood. Speaking out about this was unimaginable then.

That same night, in response to all my questions, Bryan again asked to see my dick. I said no. He then asked to feel my ass. After hesitating, I relented, thinking he’d give it a quick squeeze. Nope.

He quickly & very aggressively shoved his hand down my jeans & underwear and tried to shove his finger inside me. He had his other hand clamped on my shoulder so I couldn’t immediately move away. He penetrated me for a split second before I shoved him away

I got his hands off me & basically told him to fuck off & he proceeded to blame me, saying I had been teasing him since we met & what did I expect. I tried to leave & he asked if GHB would make me feel better.

I said no, that I just wanted to go home. He said fine, but I’d better not tell anyone because no one would believe me anyway. I absolutely believed this, so I never said anything until now.

I never went to any of Bryan Singers “private parties”, but I guarantee the stories of the young men who say they were raped are true. I witnessed the beginning of many of these nights. I wish I would’ve loudly objected to what I saw happening

I also wish I would’ve had the courage to speak out when he sexually assaulted me. It didn’t benefit me at all to stay silent, all it did was allow myself to become disillusioned & bitter. I hope telling this story helps. Not just me, but anyone else who’s struggling

Don’t be like me. Don’t keep this awful shit bottled up for 15+ years. It poisons you. Call the motherfuckers out. They are cowards. You are stronger than you know. (14/14) #MeToo

November/2017

After he posted this, he was harassed by his thugs and deleted his Facebook and Twitter account claiming he was getting death threats and phone calls. Hopefully this time around this won't happen.

We're proud of you dude. Keep yourself safe.

R488 his fans are so fucking obsessed with him and I DO NOT get it. I don’t think he’s attractive or a good actor.

He definitely is a good actor. It's very obvious in Mr. Robot and he did a great job in BR which was a role lending itself to easily be a trainwreck. The hate is just a reaction to him being popular right now, it's childish.

r492, the interesting thing about that story is this -- the guy says that Singer had a penchant for sticking his hands down boys' pants' without their permission. The same claim made by one of the sources in The Atlantic story. It's fascinating how people's pervy habits can be revealed by these patterns.

Bryan Singer needs serious psychological help, much like Kevin Spacey. It's not surprising they're both in hot water now.

I think Malek is interesting looking, but he is not the most interesting actor. I wasnt impressed with him on Mr.Robot, even though it's my type of show. He relies too much on his acting ticks. And he is very guarded.

Is r492 Tom Daley?

What do you mean by thugs, r492.

No he's not R497. He isn't known. He was waiting tables by the time he tweeted that. He interacts with many directors and actors with verified accounts, so he sure is connected, granted I don't know any of the verified people, they must be indie artists.

Here's his latest tweet:

[quote] People wonder why I didn’t talk to news outlets about #BryanSinger It’s cuz so many have & continue to & HE STILL GETS FUCKING JOBS. Hollywood & the police refuse to punish him. It’s mind boggling.

5 replies 50 retweets 125 likes]

R498 He said he was getting death threats after his tweets. He even tweeted a screenshot of the threats he got by DM, so he deleted his account and moved somewhere else in California, he was really scared. I don't know him personally, I just followed a #metoo hashtag back in 2017 and ended up reading his story, as well as the story of that anchorwoman and her son's story with Spacey. I found his Facebook and kept track of his whereabouts till he quit social media. All I know was from reading his tweets and FB posts.

[quote]I think Malek is interesting looking

Is this the new, "gee, your baby is so.......alert"----the standard "go to" compliment to give parents of a butt ugly baby?

That story at R492 should be on billboards all around Hollywood. Singer is a disgusting troll.

So, who should play pig faced Singer in the movie? If Paul Rudd porked up and put on some nerd glasses, he could probably pull it off. Still too good looking though. Maybe fug faced Nic Cage?

How is singer looking financially? has he blown it all or sitting on a lot of money. If he is wealthy his best option would be to take extended break and not keep on working.

He still has a ton of money. But he loves to work. The best punishment for him would be to put him in a position where he is unable to work. Coke and raping boys can only keep you occupied/happy for so long.

^ITA. He definitely needs to step down from Red Sonja

Well, r349, that guy and others report Singer topping in other situations. So apparantly, he was versatile.

All right, R381 is the last straw.

Say what you want about his apparent crimes. BUT BRYAN SINGER IS AN EXCELLENT DIRECTOR. He’s more talented and has better artistic taste than 85% of the shows in Hollywood.

The rape allegations are just a floodgate for haters to revise history and trash his widely acclaimed and commercially successful career.

USUAL SUSPECTS is a noir classic. VALKYRIE is riveting, richly told history. X-MEN started the whole comic book movie craze and persuaded Stan Lee to start his own, hugely successful movie studio. That franchise has important themes of tolerance and caution against revenge which are analgous to gay human rights. HOUSE was a wildly acclaimed hit on TV. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY rocks — its detractors are in the minority and killjoy snobs who either can’t tolerate a single cliche or don’t get rock and roll. Far more critics didn’t like Queen’s music, either, yet the band is beloved by the public.

So quit trashing his spectacular, creative record. You simpletons are just going to have to accept that some of our heroes are flawed and have evil sides without discrediting the good they’ve done, no matter how simplistic and pure your pea brains want to think the world is.

Most directors do not have reviews like this:

R506 = Bryan Singer

[quote]Yes, Sasha Baron Cohen has been very vocal about the difference of opinion he had with the band and why he left the film

Oh, please! Sasha can’t act, and he’s ugly and obnoxious. The best thing Bryan did was not casting him.

DL's fave Dylan Geick is called out for his support of Singer.

3:36 PM - 26 Jan 2019

R508 Bryan didn’t not cast Sacha and he didn’t cast Rami. He came long after Rami was cast. Brian May and Roger Taylor got to make the call for that casting.

Don't care about any of those movies, R506, because I'm not an INCEL, like most of his fans.

LOL. His surgeries are giving him a distinct Jocelyn Wildenstein vibe.

[quote]Oh, please! Sasha can’t act, and he’s ugly and obnoxious. The best thing Bryan did was not casting him.

I thought Singer had no say in the casting of BR, certainly not for Freddy. Get your stories straight fraus.

He can be talented and a creep at the same time r506, you can still like his movies. Personally I wouldn't pay for a film of a known pedophile. If only a fraction of the rumors are true, even if that happend only once, he is still a pedophile, and you know what they say, when the smoke there's fire

Lol, R506. Give me a fucking break. Bryan Singer is one of the most aggressively mediocre directors in Hollywood.

I’ll allow that THE USUAL SUSPECTS is considered a classic by many. But a) that is more due to its screenplay than its direction (it received VERY few directing awards/nominations, as you can see on its IMDB Awards page) and b) even the screenplay had issues, as the twist that comes at the end is not at all dependent on anything that happened before – it merely provided shock value. For that and many other reasons, the late great Roger Ebert only gave it only 1.5 out of 4 stars (check his website).

As for his record, you presented his Rotten Tomatoes page. First of all – he’s only directed 12 feature films. Out of those films:

--4 have received “Rotten” scores on Rotten Tomatoes --3 have received “Fresh” scores of less than 65% (including VALYKYRIE and BO-RHAP). The reviews: "Given the subject matter, Valkyrie could have been an outstanding historical thriller, but settles for being a mildly entertaining, but disposable yarn. " "Bohemian Rhapsody hits a handful of high notes, but as an in-depth look at a beloved band, it offers more of a medley than a true greatest hits collection. " --Of the remaining 5 that did receive “Fresh” scores of more than 65%, three were X-MEN films and one was SUPERMAN RETURNS, which was so bad that it scuttled plans for any sequels.

BO-RHAP only scored 62% and deservedly so, as it failed on many levels. It focused more on the band and thus provided a very shallow look at Freddie Mercury, who was a vastly more interesting person than any of the others. It showcased a very sanitized version of his life, which was sacrilegious considering the band was all about breaking the rules. And it basically implied that Freddie was obsessed with a woman and that homosexuality was its downfall. GLAAD would’ve been wrong to nominate it even without the sex scandal, as it is a pretty poor representation of LGBT issues. The main reason BO-RHAP is so popular (among moviegoers and critics) is because of the music. ANY director would’ve scored a hit with a film featuring a catalog is universally beloved as Queen’s.

I will give him credit for two things: 1) being effective at choosing subject matter that will have mass appeal (X-MEN, BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY) and ) being good with visual/special effects. But to say that he’s more talented than 85% of the directors in Hollywood is one of the most laughable things I’ve ever heard.

By the way you use all caps for the movie/TV titles, I can tell you’re someone in the industry. One of Singer’s friends/associates perhaps?

Omg Bo Rhap resonated with millions of people and not cause of the music they can play for free at home! The story of Freddie was lovely and they told it in a way ANYONE could respect, understand and it connected with millions of ALL AGES all over the world.

It did good. Get over it.

Bo Rhap stans stay doing the most. The defend-queerwashed-film-directed-by-abuser-of-young-boys ain’t the hill you wanna die on, but you do you.

Queerwashed?? Another new term, beating everything that came before at nonsensuality. To be queerwashed I'd think you'd have to be straight as an arrow and presented as something other than straight as an arrow in order to appeal to the "queers".... Don't think this applied to anything ever, sure as fuck not to a biopic about Freddie Mercury.

I've never read such obvious shilling on DL than at R506. Has to be BS or someone closely associated with him. Ever heard "less is more"? Sheesh . . .

Seems to me that BS and team are finally realizing they're in some VERY deep s#!t.

"Anyone who works with Singer is a pig! Oh, don't forget to watch 'RENT' on Fox tonight,. I am hoping for a revival. Daddy needs a new lawn chair!"

The "Anthony Rapp is a loser" troll is just making me respect Anthony all the more for exposing a dirty secret that many in gay circles were already talking about for years. Seeing people attack him for calling out a child predator is proof that the gay community has evil amongst its own.

I've just learned loser Gabe Hoffman assaulted the R492 twitter guy as he did with many other victims of abuse who don't bow down to their agenda. Many think An Open Secret is controlled opposition to protect bigger fish.

Gabe Hoffman's biggest regret in life is not being Elon Musk, and with his alt-right megalomania he became the biggest "source" to Dan at Crazy Days and Nights on Musk and pedophilia blind items. You do the math.

Gabe might be throwing Singer under the bus right now, but the idea he's protecting bigger guys is not that far fetched. I've watched him going apeshit on victims that came forward with their stories on twitter to An Open Secret. He basically harasses people and dismisses them as fake or conspiracy theory. People who had the courage to come forward. I've seen him acting like this several times. Some stories are not even that special or shocking, yet he acts like that. He's a major dick.

R389, the idiot who thinks Sasha Baron Cohen talks like Borat in real life.

Truth is, Cohen almost got the opportunity to play Mercury from the studio 10 years ago.

Sacha Baron Cohen is exceptionally talented, and has more range in his eyebrows than Rami Malek has in his whole body. But this thread isn’t even the place to go into it, if you all hadn’t noticed...

Wow, Bradley Cooper's working really hard on here to derail Rami's win.

I was just about to post the same, R525. The anti-Malek loons are truly working overtime -- and yes, I said "loons" because when you're jumping from thread to thread to thread just for the purpose of posting something negative about someone (in this case Malek), then yes, you are indeed a loon. People should have enough sense to realize when a point-of-view stops being just a difference of opinion and starts turning into a manic obsession with trashing someone.

R510 What the actual fuck? I know when he was posting here there was talk his taste in men - well, boys - was questionable, but to go that far?

Why the hell Rami fucking Malek is discussed in this thread? It's about Singer.

The Rami Malek obsessees, both pro and con, need to take it to another thread.

R529 Why do people discuss Rami malek, full stop

Rami is beautiful

R531 = is Rami's PR/mgt, Rami's twin bro, Rami himself or BLIND.

Cohen is way better looking than this "beautiful" man.

I read in the NYP that singer hasn't signed the contract yet for Red Sonja. Not sure if true...

[quote] Seeing people attack him for calling out a child predator is proof that the gay community has evil amongst its own.

Every group or community has its fair share of black sheep, assholes, traitors, etc. You can choose to let them define you or you can choose to NOT let them define you. The same way people can choose to use these black sheep as an excuse to demonize the entire community or just dismiss them as the clear minority they are within that community.

That’s Rami when his eyes are wide. He doesn’t always look like that. And Cohen needs to stop coming up. He was dropped. Move on.

R536 He was dropped for trying to make Freddy actually gay and the foicus of the film, Who fucking cares about the badger fucker and the rest of the long haired gits???

Omfg. That’s not what he was trying to do. Enough!!!

That movie wasn't even accurate and got so many things wrong. Not a "best picture" nominee for sure. Standards have dropped so low.

Every. Biopic. Makes. Shit. Up.

Get. Over. It.

I'm starting to think someone's trying to derail talk of Bryan Singer with talk of Rami. It seems too purposeful on here.

R541

I agree. The hell is going on? I am usually sceptical about conspiracy theories, but those attempt to distract are relentless.

R537 Cohen was a bad fit to begin with. He's a comedic actor and BH would have been utter crap with him in it. A joyless camp piece that would have been ridiculed for years to come.

Breaking-----Page Six grabs a bucket and mops up Bryan Singers career as OVER!!!.....Oh Jesus, let it be true!....Link Below....

Why aren’t any of the major media outlets picking up the story like they did with Weinstein?

What is with this clickbait type posts on the DL. I'll help r544 out.

[quote]But Singer is only “attached” to the movie and doesn’t have a contract yet. Sources said Lerner would be loath to pay Singer the full $10 million reported to be his fee. “Avi is a bargain hunter,” one movie veteran said. “He sees an opportunity to hire a top director at less than a top salary. They may be able to reach a deal.” If Singer does direct, finding a star to play the lead will be difficult and big-name actresses are expensive. A rep declined to comment on the movie’s contracts.

R546-----hey asshole....That wasn't'clickbait.....Geez----I get "Link the story" complaints if I DON"T post the link----and I get "CLICKBAIT" if I DO link the story....Would some of you Bitches make up your Damn mind!!!

R547 Oh dear, another triggered Rami stan, they are worse than little monsters

[quote]That wasn't'clickbait

....

[quote]Oh Jesus, let it be true!....Link Below....

Posting this with zero details about what the story is about is the [bold]definition[/bold] of clickbait.

No. 28 on the OUT power list for 2014.

It's probably the best picture he's ever had taken. The photo downplays "He has his father's eyes!" aspect of Singer's face.

R550

Clever.

r545, not sure what you mean. I've seen it written about everywhere, from the NY Times to the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times.

This sentence in The Atlantic article should have been the title:

"You were one of Singer’s boys? Me too."

I don't believe that Singer is a child rapist...if he is, they can arrest him.

^More paid Singer shills.

Paid? What I said was simple and to the point. He will be arrested if he actually did anything that was against the law. For some reason a lot of young guys don't want to admit that THEY were looking for sex. It is natural, nothing to be ashamed of.

R556 Oh, so one presumes, like Uncle Bryan, you also have to get your trade drugged up and drunk to fuck you.....

[quote]He will be arrested if he actually did anything that was against the law

Because the justice system always acts equally when rich and powerful people are involved?

R558 I just mentioned this about Mark Salling and got attacked. Since when do rich famous people get the same treatment?!

I agree r541. Random posters keep moving the conversation away from discussing pervs in HW, and when anybody does, there will inevitably be a poster coming in to call them naive bumpkins for believing there are abusers in HW or else cast doubt on accusations. Hmmm....

[quote]Sacha Baron Cohen is exceptionally talented, and has more range in his eyebrows than Rami Malek has in his whole body. But this thread isn’t even the place to go into it, if you all hadn’t noticed...

Omg, please say you’re joking!

Sacha Baron Cohen is not attractive enough to play Freddie Mercury. I didn’t realize how hot Mercury was, until after I saw the film.

Lmaoooo funny how seeing Rami Malek as Mercury made people see a sex symbol..

Yeah this thread is definitely being deliberately derailed. Not even subtlety either, the fake posters keep making the same points over and over. Doesn’t matter though, the floodgates are opening and pervs in Hollywood will face a reckoning.

R423 is full of shit.

Bohemian Rhapsody exposes A LOT of Freddie Mercury’s faults. Erratic tantrums, firing anyone who criticized him, bearding, being a closeted homosexual, abandoning and betraying the band; acquiring AIDS.

It DOES show orgies, alcohol and presumed drug use, plus party-fueled hookups.

Just because Brian May wanted the main story to be the band’s trajectory doesn’t mean he turned a blind eye to “tabloid stuff.”

And FYI, just because tabloids make unflattering claims doesn’t mean they’re true.

Tabloids have published A LOT of false claims about celebrities over the years.

I’m more interested in WHAT QUEEN DID than a series of sordid urban legends of dubious origin and intention.

I felt Bohemian Rhapsody was a good balance. It was basically an honest film that exposed plenty of dirt.

R565 is 100% paid shill, it's Oscar season after all lol.

565 = yes-----the movie was "brave" in its INACCURACIES. And the "heroism" of hiring an accused pedophile to direct it was awe inspiring....

It would have been distracting to see Sacha as Freddie and be tempted to laugh based on Sachas previous work.

Bohemian Rhapsody was a lost opportunity. They could have explored the real Freddie, a coke snorting man whore, who orchestrated debauched bacchanalian orgies where he and his guests helped to liberally spread HIV to all the participants - including his mistreated partner Jim Hutton.

MOVE ONNNNNN

Yes, send the fucker to jail or just get the fuck over it. And of yes, Freddie looked like a horse. Get over that as well.

After reading the article, its amazing that Singer is not already in jail. He must have tons of people defending him.

This is not a thread about Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie Mercury, Sacha Baron Cohen or Rami Malek. Stop derailing it.

Time to put the derailers on ignore.

The shills here are like the Titanic musicians

Better just to scroll down. Too many FFs or blocked posters and I believe that the thread will automatically close.

In the past, Singer and Epstein threads have typically been deleted.

Just scroll and do not play into the hands of those who want the thread locked or gone.

Rami Malek just won the SAG award for Best Actor, so the haters can suck it.

He’s assured to get the Oscar now.

R576 are you just jumping thread to thread bosting about rami malek’s Sag win? What a fucking weirdo.

R576

About Singer - he was attractive man when he was young. With his career and looks he could have any gay guy he wanted. Did he ever had serious relationship?

Well, there was this guy, R578

R579

The one who fucked him with three other guys? Well, that's serious for sure.

Eww, R578. Singer is fugly both young and old. I wouldn't have touched him with a 10-foot pole in the 90s, regardless of how much money he had.

I think he was cute when he was younger but he looks like shit now. Major carbface.

R572 - If you don't report things to the police, there's no chance of a prosecution. Everyone in metoo land can't wait to run to the press, but not the police.

I wonder how much of this boy he got, in exchange for a tiny role in X-Men.

The Bryan Singer hashtag is still on fire on Twitter. Glad people are still talking about this. We need to sustain it until he gets fired from Red Sonja

Oh myyy

This thread is one big compote of internet crazy.

So now anytime a cute kid or a hot young dude appears in a BS movie, it's going to be assumed they were molested by this creep. Why would anyone want that reputation following them to the grave. He won't be able to cast anyone.

I'll start a new thread: Bryan Singer's Collapse is Complete --Atlantic article Part 3

[quote] If you don't report things to the police, there's no chance of a prosecution. Everyone in metoo land can't wait to run to the press, but not the police.

Hollywood OWNS the police. Good luck getting help from them without any media attention on the accusation and the case.

R589, people have been saying for a long time that the reason the MeToo movement didn't grab Singer and Co. sooner is because they took care to involve police and other law-related types in their activities, thereby insuring that any legal ramifications could be held at bay, thanks to cops, lawyers and others trying to cover their own asses. It seems very possible.

So weird.When the news of Harvey Weinstein broke he was completely condemned by all the blogs I follow. Towleroad, Joe My God etc But with Bryan Singer and even Kevin Spacey, these blogs are filled with people saying they we are being too hard on them and that we don't know the full story and that it wasn't really that bad and the victims were asking for it. There seems to be a pretty big generational divide in those responses too. Older guys are outraged at the outrage and younger guys are ready to blacklist them

Was Clunie even Singer's surrogate or only his pretend wife? I feel she wasn't even a surrogate and another woman gave birth to Singer's son also I always heard rumors about Clunie being a lesbian.

I've seen the picture of Singer with woman and baby in the hospital. I see no reason to doubt she carried it. Lesbians can do that too.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

To the poster who claimed that these are just random bad actors operating alone, you might want to check out PIE or DEN, mkay? Or there is the one that starts with N, who always tried to hide in the gay rights movement and was kicked out. Shades of Spacey and Singer trying to claim that criticizing their perving on minors is homophobic. Gay men and lesbians want nothing to do with you, begone. You were booted in the 70s and 90s and you will not hide in our community now. Know your gay history lest it be repeated.

R591

But why? It's strange. Unfortunately i think it all comes down to money. Singer is making a lot of money for a lot of people. BR was weak movie, but it made shitload of cash. And it's all that matters. Weinstein lost his mojo, so nobody really cares about him.

R596 I don't think it's about money. The people standing up for him are people who have commented on those blogs for a long time. Not anyone who is connected to his success. And the same people who condemned Weinstein. I think it's do with the fact that they're gay. And the generational divide is due to the fact that 30 years ago it wasn't taboo for a 30 year old gay guy to have sex with a 16 year old. At least not like today

R597

But he actually raped people. He forced them to have sex. They ignore it?

R598 yeah, they do. They say they're just accusations. And wonder why they're coming after him now. It's the same stuff you hear from supporters of Kavanaugh and R. Kelly. You always think that your side is better. Until you see how your tribe reacts to one of their own being held accountable

Not even 1/4 of the celebrities who were vocal about Harvey said something about Singer. The reason being that Bryan has connections to powerful people and the police. It's not a right-wing conspiracy that there are pedo rings dating back to the 70s linked to Hollywood. There are also 2 major directors everyone in town knows abuse children. One is an icon who probably won't fall ever. He was ditching comments on Singer last week.

Singer's inclinations go beyond the despicable actions mentioned at R492. Both Singer and Spacey have been linked to pedo havens like the famous Island of the Lolita Express and the Philippines. It is NO COINCIDENCE Marc Collins-Rector, Chad Shackley and Brock Pierce were all involved in that Interpol raid in Spain where they found thousands of child pornography material.

It's absurd Brock Pierce is still free as an Internet personality which tells you all you need to know about the silence in Hollywood on Singer. It's not a causality that Colins-Rector is living in a pedo paradise that is Antwerp in Belgium.
