BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The man who filed a bombshell sex-abuse lawsuit against “X-Men” director Bryan Singer said Thursday he was also victimized — “raped numerous times” — by other Hollywood sickos.
Michael Egan III said he was left traumatized by the alleged attacks that happened when he was 14 or 15.
“I was raped numerous times by multiple individuals, passed around like a piece of meat,” Egan told reporters in Beverly Hills.
The 30-year-old accuser detailed one particularly graphic act he allegedly endured at the hands of a powerful Tinseltown figure.
“If you have a gun and it’s put your mouth and you think the gun is going to go off, as a child, I was scared to death,” Egan said.
He didn’t assign that sick act to Singer. Egan’s lawyer said his client plans to file lawsuits against other men who attacked him.
Egan’s lawsuit against Singer claims that the director attended parties at a Los Angeles mansion, where adult males did drugs and had sex with teenage boys.
The accuser also accused Singer of flying him to Hawaii for drug-fueled sexcapades – all for promised roles in an “X-Men” movie.
“This was horrific,” Egan said. “If it takes me sitting here in front of you to stop someone from having the nightmare that I had live with as a kid, then I’ve done my job.”
The director’s lawyer, Marty Singer – no relation – denied all allegations against his client.
“The claims made against Bryan Singer are completely without merit,” the lawyer said on Thursday.
“We are very confident that Bryan will be vindicated in this absurd and defamatory lawsuit. It is obvious that this case was filed in an attempt to get publicity at the time when Bryan’ s new movie is about to open in a few weeks.”
Egan’s lawyer Jeff Herman blamed the Hollywood establishment for protecting predators.
“When you expose a predator or institution that protect predators, you’re outing that predator,” Herman said. “And so you’re stopping that abuse [by that individual] hopefully.”
