## Transcript

Bryan Singer breaks his silence on the sexual abuse allegations against him. In a statement issue Thursday Singer says " The allegations against me are outrageous, vicious and completely false, however I promise when the situation is over, the facts will show this to be the sick twisted shake down it is ". The X Men director has decided not to partake in the promotional campaign for his latest film X Men: Days of Future Past due out May 23rd as to not diverge any attention from the film, or its talented cast and crew. Former child actor Michael Egan filed a lawsuit accusing Singer of using his position in Hollywood to offer empty promises of stardom in return for sexual acts that occurred over 10 years ago.

No one at a young age ever deserves to go through the horrific junk that I went through as a kid. And if it takes me sitting here in front of all of you to stop that, I'll do it. And the Nevada actor isn't stopping there. Egan has filed suit against three more Hollywood executives for sexually abusing teenage boys in the 90's. Egan's mother Bonnie Mound says that she wrote hundreds of letters to members of law enforcement and the media over the years but got nowhere. She broke down crying trying to explain why they have finally come forward. Nobody wanted to do anything because of the high profile people involved.

There's talk he, Mike is here for his 15 minutes of fame. You call this fame? Singer's lawyer, Marty Singer, denies the allegations, calling them defamatory and raising the possibility of a counter lawsuit. However, Egan's lawyer, Jeff Herman, said Monday, I'm not going to be bullied. Thanks for watching, I'm Bryce Sander.
