Bryan Singer sued for sexual assault of a minor

Bryan Singer has been sued for for allegedly forcing a 17-year-old boy to perform oral sex on him and then raping him, TMZ reports. The news comes three days after the director was fired from the Freddie Mercury biopoic Bohemian Rhapsody with conflicting reports of "unprofessional" behavior on Singer's end.

Singer was previously sued for allegedly assaulting a minor in 2014. He has been attached to at least 15 projects since that suit was filed.

Singer is replaced as Bohemian Rhapsody director by Dexter Fletcher, who previously worked on Eddie the Eagle and Sunshine on Leith.
