Why Bryan Singer is Still Directing Red Sonya (VIDEO SCRIPT)
Added 2019-01-28 18:01:00 +0000 UTC
Readers, I don’t think it’s that big of a secret that I hate Bryan Singer
The logical adult in me hates him because of all of the sexual assault claims that were made about him over the years and the fact that during his time directing Bohemian Rhapsody, he was just actin’ a GOD damn fool
And the superhero movie lover in me hates him because you just don’t to a half-assed tease at the Phoenix Force in X-Men 2 and then just up and leave to make a sub-par Superman movie
Starring yet ANOTHER actor being investigated for sexual assault, because apparently these motherfuckers run in packs
Trust me, you laugh now, but you’ll know why that statement is absolutely true by the end of this video...
And I’m not just mentioning these allegations of sexual assault likely, either; these claims have been following him for the past 20 years
/On the 25th of January 2019, writer Alex French and editor Maximillion Porter of Esquire published an article that tells the stories of multiple male victims of his predatorial ass back when they were underage actors on various projects of his on the Atlantic that they spent an ENTIRE YEAR researching and investigating/ https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/03/bryan-singers-accusers-speak-out/580462/
Now I know what you’re thinking: But La’Ron, if they’re writers and editors for Esquire, then why did the expose end up in the Atlantic
Well, that’s because despite getting properly checked to make sure all of their facts, sources and references were legit by the attorneys over at Esquire and the attorneys of Hearst Communications, the company that OWNS Esquire
/The executives over at Hearst decided to drop the story completely despite making sure it was libel-proof before-hand, with the reason why not being revealed to the public, let alone to the writer and editor of the piece/ Bryan Singer - Hollywood Reporter 1
The kicker here is that when the Atlantic DID release the expose online, /Bryan Singer himself had the nerve to say that not only was it a homophobic smear piece, but that it was released to conveniently smear the work he did on Bohemian Rhapsody now that it’s award season/
(Laughs) Bitch, what?
You mean the same Bohemian Rhapsody that you had TEMPER TANTRUMS while on set?
You mean the same Bohemian Rhapsody that you only filmed one scene per day for before you got tired and left the set early?
You mean the same Bohemian Rhapsody that you threw filming and stage props at Rami Malek at?
You mean the same Bohemian Rhapsody that you didn’t show up to work, only to lie and say that you were catering to your sick mom, when pretty much everyone confirmed that shit wasn’t true?
You mean the same Bohemian Rhapsody where your ass got FIRED and replaced by Dexter Fletcher to clean up your mess?
Fuck you!
And as far as the expose is concerned? I’ve read it. Nothing about that piece reads “this is a homophobic smear piece”. But EVERYTHING about that piece reads “this is a sexual predator.”
/But unfortunately, despite others being let go and removed from projects for less, neither the assault or his immature behavior on the set of Bohemian Rhapsody is gonna be enough to remove Bryan Singer from his next gig, which is a Red Sonja reboot he’s doing with Millenium Films/ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/bryan-singer-keep-red-sonja-directing-gig-new-accusers-speak-1178785
And when I found this out, I felt compelled to explore the reasoning behind it. So when I read the Hollywood Reporter article that initially informed me that Singer was keeping his job, /I saw that it was confirmed by CEO of Millennium Films Avi Lerner./ Bryan Singer - Hollywood Reporter 3
(Takes a deep and irritated breath)
Oh. You’re wondering why I’m reacting the way that I am?
/That’s because this is the same Avi Lerner who told Terry Crews that if HE didn’t drop the charges of the dude who sexually assaulted HIM, that he wasn’t going to be in Expendables 4/ Terry Crews Tweet
/And the same Avi Lerner who was hit with sexual harassment lawsuits on his own accord, along with Trump-style locker room talk directly at women back in May of 2017/ Avi Lerner - Deadline
Because these scumbag-ass motherfuckers run in packs
So Readers, the reason why Bryan Singer is still directing the Red Sonja movie despite being a confirmed shit person, the absolute worst, and someone that nobody wants to work with because he’s trash
Is because Avi Lerner -- who is just as bad as he is -- sees first and foremost the money Bohemian Rhapsody made /and is willing to use Trump tactics to justify keeping him on board even when the success of the film had nothing to do with him, and everything to do with the confirmed cleanup 20th Century Fox had to do in order to salvage it/ Bryan Singer - Hollywood Reporter 4
And Readers, trust me; this kind of support network doesn’t just exist in Hollywood, it exists even in the regular lives of joe schmoes like you and me.
Which is why we have to stay vigilant, and be both mindful and thoughtful of the people we let inside our circle
Because while it may not be to the same extreme as every man who stepped forward to tell their story of underage sexual assault by the hands of Bryan Singer, Kevin Spacey and Avi Lerner
Or being guaranteed work despite bringing nothing but toxicity and less than 10% to the table while still receiving full credit for it
These people exist and will drain you dry if you let them get their foot through the door, and because of their OWN connections and support networks, will make you seem like you’re the one at fault, when you’re ACTUALLY the victim
Don’t give them the satisfaction, because they won’t give it to you.
