Bryan Singer sex abuse case dropped Sorry - this page has been removed.
(7 months later)
A 31-year-old man has withdrawn a high-profile lawsuit that accused X-Men director Bryan Singer of sexually abusing him when he was an aspiring teen actor. This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason.
Michael Egan filed a motion for voluntary dismissal of the civil lawsuit brought against Singer in April, according to court documents filed in Hawaii.
Singer had filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, calling the claims a “sick, twisted shakedown”. A representative for the director did not immediately respond for comment on Wednesday. For further information, please contact:
Egan had also filed three other lawsuits claiming he was sexually abused as a teen by entertainment and TV executives Gary Goddard and TV executives David Neuman and Garth Ancier, all of which have been dismissed.
The lawsuit dismissal on Wednesday wrapped up the months-long saga in Hollywood that was initially highly publicised by Egan’s former attorney Jeff Herman.
Herman and fellow lawyer Mark Gallagher, who both represented Egan, resigned from the case last month.
