在2017年秋天，当双桶Harvey WeinsteinExposé击中时，第一反应是终于。而且，随着发生的事情的巨大性沉没了，一个强大的虐待性欺负者数十年来一直受到建立在剥削和沉默系统上的行业的保护，终于经历了一项估算, When does Bryan Singer’s name come up? We all expected it. Anyone who follows Hollywood, filmmaking, and/or gossip should have immediately leapt from Weinstein to Singer, another powerful, abusive bully, one with a history of lawsuits and a metric ton of rumors about pool parties and underage boys. But the reckoning for Singer didn’t come, until October last year when Singer issued a先发制人against an exposé in the works at Esquire. But then that exposé never materialized, and it seemed like Singer would, once again, skate by the years of rumors and allegations.
嗯,现在暴露在这里。和y一样糟糕ou think. (It comes from The Atlantic, not Esquire, in an echo of NBC passing on Ronan Farrow’s Weinstein story.) The article, written by Alex French and Maximillian Potter, represents over a year of reporting and an undoubtedly torturous process through the legal department. But finally, it’s here, a comprehensive compilation of allegations and a timeline of events that should finally stick to Singer. Even those who have not believed the rumors before must surely now reckon with a clear pattern of predatory behavior, and the way the legal system is turned against survivors seeking any form of justice—one survivor is being forced to reopen a bankruptcy to declare his suit against Singer an asset. That’s the kind of legal dancing that has kept Singer out of (official) trouble for so long. I just hope people see through it this time. The rumors were always about a mansion, pool parties, Bryan Singer and his pals and underage boys. Nothing in the article contradicts years of whisper-network reporting.
Which brings up the question of who knew what, and when. Rami Malek, freshly nominated for an Oscar for his work in波西米亚狂想曲，主张制作电影之前，他不知道歌手。“我认为指控和事物是我不知道的事情，无论如何，这就是事实，这就是事实。”他说，继续添加，“Perhaps that was Freddie himself doing it, because we wanted to make a product that was worthy of him.”一，该产品不值得弗雷迪水星，两个，什么？就像在什么爱好的F-CK中？拉米·马里克（Rami Malek）的借口实际上是弗雷迪·水星（Freddie Mercury）的幽灵保护了他不知道布莱恩·辛格（Bryan Singer）吗？我什至不知道如何处理。拉米·马利克（Rami Malek）像政治家一样浮华还是全面的空头？无论哪种方式，这都不是一个好外观。
但是他几乎不仅仅是为与歌手合作的辩护借口。记得当Rhapsodyproducer Graham King said he would “永远感激”Rhapsody制成？当时，我说：“让我们重新审视，如果[歌手]的声誉被浪费了”。好吧，那天就在这里，我想知道格雷厄姆·金有多“感激”。有人应该问。我想知道，谣言已经成为适当的新闻业，感恩的商在哪里。同样，有人应该检查拉米·马里克（Rami Malek），看看弗雷迪·水星（Freddie Mercury）的幽灵是否仍在保护他，或者他是否对波西米亚狂想曲他的角色在一台机器中，一直保护歌手这么长时间。
Did Rami Malek really not know about Bryan Singer? Or did he not WANT to know, because playing Freddie Mercury is the kind of role that makes careers, and it is, in fact, making his, turning him into a movie star and an Oscar nominee. He got exactly what he wanted from the deal. And did Graham King not know what bargain he was striking? Or did he just close his eyes and hope it worked out for him just as it did for the producers of普通嫌疑犯and a slew of X-Men movies. Did Fox bosses Stacey Snider and Emma Watts really only know about the failed Michael Egan lawsuit, or did they just assume that the industry that covered for Harvey Weinstein would cover for their guy, too?
我发现很难相信没有人知道任何事情。在我的第一个洛杉矶派对上，有人打破了布莱恩歌手泳池派对笑话。这些不是行业人士。这些是艺术朋克和喜剧般的咕gr声，没有人比《笑工厂的布克》更重要的人。然而，他们都知道足以开个泳池派对。随着年龄的增长，随着我遇到更多行业中的更多人，他们也知道。儿童网络的演员导演，电视节目的制作人，人才经纪人，甚至是一家大型工作室的C套装套装。我到处走了，人们都知道布莱恩·辛格。只要我住在洛杉矶，我就会听到泳池派对的笑话。那时我想知道，正如我现在想知道的那样 - 一个公开的秘密会关闭什么？ How high up the chain do you have to go before you don’t know what everyone else knows? And is it that they really don’t know, or have they just closed their eyes?
The men cited in this article, those who chose to use their real names and those who didn’t, are speaking up knowing how little change has really been effected since the Weinstein expose. They are speaking up knowing that Bryan Singer has already booked another high profile, high paid directing gig, that there is still a system entrenched around him because he makes people money. These men are brave, and I hope that this time, everyone is listening. We’re past the pool party jokes and open secret of it all. We have an official account of the damage Bryan Singer has done. We cannot be blind anymore. Freddie Mercury’s ghost isn’t going to protect us this time. We must face what we have always known: Bryan Singer hurts people. And everyone who chooses to work with him has a part in allowing that hurt to continue.
