X-Men Movie director Bryan Singer sued for 'raping a 17-year-old boy

Bryan Singer is being sued for allegedly forcing a 17-year-old boy to perform oral sex on him and then raping him during a yacht party in 2003. 
The director, who co-produced X-Men: First Class (2011), and directed two more X-Men films, X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) and X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) strenuously denies all the claims
The X-Men director strenuously denies all the claims, TMZ reports.
The lawsuit, filed by Cesar Sanchez-Guzman's attorney, alleges that Singer was at a party, with young gay men, on tech investor Lester Waters' yacht in Seattle in 2003.
It claims that Singer offered to take a then-17 Guzman on a tour of the yacht, but when they got to one of the rooms, the director allegedly forced the teen to the floor, shoved his crotch against Guzman's face and demanded he perform oral sex.
Guzman goes onto say in the lawsuit, that Singer then pulled out his penis and forced it into his mouth, causing him to choke as he begged him to stop.
Singer allegedly forcibly performed oral sex on Guzman, who repeatedly told him to stop, before he anally raped him, according to the lawsuit.

The suit states that Singer later threatened Guzman, telling him he was a powerful Hollywood producer and that he could hire people to ruin his alleged victim's reputation.
He added that no one would believe him if he did come forward. But if he kept quiet, he would help his acting career.
Guzman, who is represented by lawyer Jeff Herman, is suing for emotional distress, mental anguish, and physical and mental pain.
However, Singer's representative told TMZ that Herman had a history of representing false claims against the director and had even been sued for malicious prosecution.
Herman previously represented Michael Egan, who accused Singer and other Hollywood figures of sexual assault in 2014, only to later withdraw the claims. He was sentenced to two years in jail in connection with a fraudulent investment scheme in 2015. 
The lawsuit was filed just days after Singer was fired from the upcoming Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. 
He had just taken an unexpected leave of absence a few weeks before filming was set to wrap on the project, leaving Twentieth Century Fox in the lurch.
The decision to fire Singer came after the director reportedly feuded with multiple actors on the set according to The Hollywood Reporter, forcing Twentieth Century Fox to remove him from the project.

Singer is also said to have thrown an object at star Rami Maleek at one point, who has earned a reputation as one of the most polite and affable actors in the industry. Tom Hollander even quit the film at one point due to Singer's behavior before being convinced to return to the production.
British director Dexter Fletcher has since stepped in to finish filming. 
This also follows allegations of wild partying and hedonistic behavior that have left the 52-year-old director on edge - according to a source who spoke to Radar. 
The same source also alleges that the studio has dispensed with his services over fears sexual assault against claims against the director were about to resurface. 
The director issued a statement attempting to clarify his sudden dismissal and blamed Fox for terminating his contracting despite him wanting to return to the US to visit a sick parent. He also hit out at Twentieth Century Fox, saying the production company was 'unwilling to accommodate' him in his situation. 
But according to Radar, Singer regularly went on late night benders turned into crippling hangovers and threw tantrums on set that made him infuriating to work with.
'He's in really bad shape and went on a crazy bender over Thanksgiving, basically telling the studio to go f**k itself,' an insider told Radar. 'He's been on bad behavior this entire shoot, staying out until 2 or 3a.m. every night and showing up to set completely hungover or worse.' 
But according to the source, the 'straw that broke the camel's back,' was when the studio asked Singer if there were 'going to be any allegations dropping on him.'
