Bryan Singer Preemptively Denies Accusations About Him in Upcoming Esquire Article

Director Bryan Singer is getting out in front of an Esquire magazine article about him that he believes will be published in time for the “Bohemian Rhapsody” release on Nov. 2.

Singer says the upcoming magazine story will “rehash false accusations and bogus lawsuits.”

“In today’s climate where people’s careers are harmed by mere accusations, what Esquire is attempting to do is a reckless disregard for the truth, making assumptions that are fictional and irresponsible,” he wrote this morning on Instagram.

Esquire did not immediately return TheWrap‘s request for comment on the article.

In December, Singer was accused of sexual assault by Cesar Sanchez-Guzman. Sanchez-Guzman says Singer forced oral sex and anal penetration while aboard a yacht in Seattle, Wash. in 2003. Sanchez-Guzman says he was 17-years-old at the time. Singer denies the charge.

In April 2014, Michael Egan claimed in a lawsuit that he was raped by Singer and that the director also made him take cocaine, and provided him with drugs and alcohol. Egan later withdrew his lawsuit. Sanchez-Guzman and Egan shared the same lawyer for their respective suits.
