The Disappearing Singer

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] This Singer is in the middle of a big film project. However, he keeps “disappearing” due to a “health problem.”

Ha ha.

Let’s talk about his real problem.

His problem is the decades of allegations of the sexual abuse of young boys in the entertainment industry.

If he is having any sort of a “health problem”, it should be a chronic panic attack over the fact that karma and the law are catching up to our mercurial director. About time, right?

Look for him to get replaced on this project soon.

By the way, this Singer is much more likely to direct a musical than to perform in one.

Singer: Bryan Singer

Blind Gossip told you that a mercurial Singer was about to get replaced on a film set.

Just a few hours later, director Bryan Singer was, in fact, fired from the set of Bohemian Rhapsody!

Singer was being replaced by director Dexter Fletcher.

Bohemian Rhapsody is the biopic about Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury. Mercury is being played by actor Rami Malek.

Bryan Singer initially claimed that his sudden absence from the set of Bohemian Rhapsody was because he was suffering from health problems… or because someone in his family was suffering from health problems… or something like that. Ha ha. He had a little trouble keeping his story straight.

‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Director Bryan Singer:

Fox Fired Me Over Sick Parent

Fired “Bohemian Rhapsody” director Bryan Singer is not copping to charges of bad behavior on the set of his Freddie Mercury biopic, instead saying 20th Century Fox booted him after he prioritized the health of an ailing parent over his film.

“I wanted nothing more than to be able to finish this project and help honor the legacy of Freddie Mercury and Queen, but Fox would not permit me to do so because I needed to temporarily put my health, and the health of my loved ones, first,” Singer said through his lawyer Andrew Brettler of Lavely & Singer.

Production on the film stopped on December 1, with a Singer rep saying a family health matter pulled him away. Fox confirmed the unplanned hiatus citing only Singer’s “unexpected unavailability.” When TheWrap reported on Singer’s firing earlier on Monday, numerous insiders said Singer was exhibiting a string of troubling behavior stemming mostly from prolonged absences and lateness.

As for those health issues… Bryan Singer has been walking around Los Angeles for the past few days, chatting with people and ostensibly healthy. Additionally, Bryan Singer’s parents (he was adopted at birth) are both in New Jersey. If one of them is so terribly sick, why isn’t he with them?

After Singer left the set claiming a health issue, someone filed a lawsuit claiming that he sexually assaulted a child. You can read more about it in this SOLVED blind item: When Your Publicist Abandons You.

There’s your sickness.

Stelliott10 was first with the correct response!

There were several clues in this one. Yes, the singer/Singer clue was sneaky! Describing him as “mercurial” hinted at Freddie Mercury, the subject of Bohemian Rhapsody. Kudos to Afternoondelight for catching those clues!

UPDATE!

Bryan Singer is the subject of a new article in The Atlantic.

While Blind Gossip has talked about Bryan Singer many times over the years, this article does a good job of pulling together the stories of seven different young men and the impact that Bryan Singer’s predatory and horrific behavior had on their lives.

Nobody Is Going to Believe You

Singer’s most recent project debuted in November. Critics gave Bohemian Rhapsody—which chronicles the rise of the rock band Queen—only lukewarm reviews, but it earned more than $50 million in its opening weekend. By the end of December, it had brought in more than $700 million, making it one of the year’s biggest hits.

The film’s success should have been a triumph for Singer, proof of his enduring ability to intuit what audiences want. In January it won two Golden Globes, including the award for best drama. But Singer was conspicuously absent from the ceremony—and his name went unmentioned in the acceptance speeches. He had been fired by 20th Century Fox in December 2017, with less than three weeks of filming left. Reports emerged of a production in chaos: Singer was feuding with his cast and crew, and had disappeared from the set for days at a time.

…

Gregg Schneider, a now-estranged friend of Singer’s, says that he was with the director in London, and that Singer stormed off the set on November 21 and then didn’t leave his hotel suite for four days. Schneider describes Singer during this time as a “vortex of brokenness.”

At one point, Singer told Snider he was exhausted and asked that the production be delayed for more than a month—an extraordinary request on a major feature shoot, given salaries, schedules, and equipment and studio rentals. Snider angrily replied that she, too, was exhausted and told him to suck it up and finish the film. On November 26, Singer abandoned the movie entirely and returned to Los Angeles.

When Fox fired him a week later, Singer issued a statement saying that he had wanted to finish the film, but the studio had declined his request to delay production. He attributed his absences, in part, to “pressing health matters concerning one of my parents.”

Though it wasn’t yet public knowledge, Singer’s attorneys were again dealing with Jeff Herman, the attorney who had represented Michael Egan and the John Doe client. Herman was seeking a settlement for Cesar Sanchez-Guzman, the Seattle man who alleges that Singer raped him in 2003. “Bryan kept quiet about it at the time, but I could tell something was eating him up,” Gregg Schneider says.

…

On December 7, 2017, three days after The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of Singer’s firing, a Seattle man named Cesar Sanchez-Guzman filed a lawsuit against the director, alleging that Singer had raped him in 2003, when Sanchez-Guzman was 17. The day after that, Deadline Hollywood published an interview with a former boyfriend of Singer’s, Bret Tyler Skopek, in which Skopek described a lifestyle of drugs and orgies.

According to multiple sources, Fox had no idea that the Sanchez-Guzman lawsuit was coming when the studio fired Singer. Still, Sanchez-Guzman’s claims shouldn’t have been much of a surprise. Almost from the moment his star began to rise, Singer, who is now 53, has been trailed by allegations of sexual misconduct.

As one prominent actor told us, “After the Harvey Weinstein news came out, everyone thought Bryan Singer would be next.”

Just as he lied about his disappearance from the set of Bohemian Rhapsody, Singer has lied many, many times over the years about his interactions with boys as young as 13.

The Atlantic article confirms Blind Gossip’s original blind item, but there is a lot more. It is well worth the read if you want to understand the magnitude of Bryan Singer’s atrocities.

Here is a link to the full article. It’s a long and heartbreaking story… but an important one.

    Bryan Singer.

    I enjoy the lack of subtlety. Singer is widely known to be a pedophile or at the very least pedophile adjacent.

  4. afternoondelight says

    Bryan Singer just disappeared from Bohemian Rhapsody due to health issues. He is a Singer but not a singer. Mercurial = Freddie Mercury from Queen.

  6. RadiantA says

    Those clues are rather clever! Bryan Singer on the Freddie Mercury biopic. I hope he enjoys making movies in prison.

  7. lippy1423 says

    First time poster!

    Singer: Director Bryan Singer
    Clues: You gave us half his name (love this blind, cleverly written). ‘Mercurial director’ – he was directing the Queen biopic, a play in Freddie Mercury’s name.

    He’s reportedly been fired from the Queen biopic.

  9. angelanavy2 says

    Brian Singer , bohemian Rhapsody the biopic.
    I dont now ,i’m just worried about it being rolled at once, I’m a fan of queen and mercury

  10. kimmukwest says

    Bryan “disappeared” last week as a result of a “health issue” and won’t be back for 4 weeks, if ever.

  14. jolael says

    Bryan Singer
    Singer is capitalized. He has a rumored history of abusing boys. He is a director (more likely to direct a musical).

  15. Vidalia Q Intrigue says

    Bryan Singer
    Clues: last name, “mercurial” (working on Freddie Mercury biopic)

  21. KatarinaJ says

    Not a Singer but BRYAN SINGER the director doing the Queen biopic. Rumors swirled for years and the production keeps stopping.

  24. yamyam says

    Bryan Singer.
    Clues: Singer, mercurial (for Bohemian Rhapsody)

    I hope this finally takes him down, but I don’t have faith in these things anymore.

  26. shan1122 says

    Singer is Bryan Singer.

    I hope he never works again. The fact that his little twink/ underage romps have been known openly for YEARS and its never stopped him from getting work is absolutely deplorable.

    Good riddance.

  27. Vampira says

    Brian Singer….A long time coming. He’s slippery as hell though, like the slimebag that he is. You know, not one person has yet to be charged with anything….Weinstein, Spacey, etc. I hope they’re not paying people off to make it all go away like they usually do.

  30. mrs_right says

    Bryan Singer!
    Clues: Singer is capitalized, and he’s a director.

    As for his career, I have no tolerance for anyone who exploits and abuses children.

  31. Markme says

    Would more likely direct a musical than to perform in one.

    His career will be over if it comes out

  32. GossipGirlXoXo2 says

    Bryan “Singer”

    His “health problems” have kept him from showing up to the set of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ – the movie is about Freddie Mercury (“Mercurial director”)

  41. CatspiracyTheory says

    Bryan Singer

    Clues: his name is the title, mercurial = a nod to his Freddie Mercury biopic

  42. Peps66 says

    Bryan Singer

    Clues: singer, sexual abuse of young boys, disappearing from the Freddie Mercury/ Queen film, health problem.

    I hope he’s brought up on charges – I was thinking his powerful buddies would shield him but maybe the heat is too great. Hope they are all brought to trial.

  43. Coffeeaddict7 says

    Singer: Bryan Singer who’s directing Bohemian Rhapsody.

  54. lucasj says

    Bryan Singer!!! GOOD RIDDANCE.

    Clues: Name, direct musical = the freddie mercury movie, disappearing = X-Men character?

    Career? He should be in jail.

  55. DreaDay681 says

    Is this Bryan Singer? He’s not a singer.. but Singer is his last name!
    Hopefully, he gets called out and goes to jail. He’s a pedophile!

  56. juliettegrantham says

    why do i feel like “Singer” here means his last name being “Singer”?
    i’m thinking about Bryan Singer, more precisely.

  57. CelebrityGirl says

    Singer: Bryan Singer

    Clues: I mean, “Singer” pretty much covers it, but the “disappearing” reference was also a dead giveaway.

    [Optional] What do you think will happen to his career? I hope it goes down permanently in flames like all the other predators who’ve been exposed.

  58. ninanicole says

    Bryan Singer leaving Bohemian Rhapsody about Freddy Mercury. Hope it catches up to him and he gets brought down big time.

  59. CherryBomb27 says

    It’s the director Bryan Singer. Hopefully his career goes down the pan and he gets his * handed to him in prison

  60. KCeagle says

    Bryan Singer

    Singer and director are the clues.

    Singer barely survived the last round of accusations against him right before a movie he directed premiered. This latest s*** storm might mean the end of his Hollywood career. Sex between consenting adults is no one’s business. Predatory or exploitive sex are criminal and reprehensible. Throw in the same sex aspect, and Singer will be villified in the court of public opinion.

  62. Bamadex says

    Good riddance to Bryan Singer, one of the ugliest open secrets in Hollywood.

    An additional hint – if you needed one – is “mercurial” (Freddie Mercury movie Singer disappeared from).

  66. roxsmysox says

    Singer: Bryan Singer

    Clues:
    the word “Singer” being capitalized
    “mercurial” referencing to him currently working on a biography about Freddy Mercury
    “directing a musical” referencing to the fact that Freddy Mercury is known to be a musical legend

    From BBC news “The director’s representative said it was “a personal health matter concerning Bryan and his family”.
    A statement added: “Bryan hopes to get back to work on the film soon after the holidays.”

  68. jerseygirlangie says

    “Singer” : Bryan Singer , director of Bohemian Rhapsody

    Clue : “mercurial” , referring to Freddie Mercury

  70. lovefifteen says

    Bryan Singer

    Clues: too many to list but mercurial is by far the most creative one. He’s doing a Freddy Mercury bio pic now.

    I hope his career will be done forever and he goes to prison.

  72. denden23 says

    Brian singer for sure.
    Mercurial for the Freddie mercury film he’s doing. And all the singer references.

    Hopefully his career is over

  76. HereForTheGos says

    Obviously Bryan Singer – I live that you aren’t even hiding it. I hope that asshole gets what he deserves.

  77. crazymothertrucker says

    Too easy. Bryan Singer.
    His career? I frankly can’t believe he’s still working NOW!

  81. athena says

    clearly meant to indicate Bryan Singer, hint at Singer-with a capital “S” and his directing of Bohemian Rhapsody-directing a musical; as for his career…good question. His proclivities have been bandied about on the gossip blogs for ages, so this can’t be a surprise to anyone. I’m guessing once the hype dies down, it will be business as usual.

  85. BangTidy says

    Bryan Singer

    Optional: Career stalls for a few years and the industry forgives… as long as he is making them money.

  86. GossipGoogle says

    Bryan Singer. “Singer” being his last name. More likely to direct a musical rather than sing bc he’s a director. Just got fired from Queen biopic.

  88. ccincanada says

    Singer: Bryan Singer, Director on Bohemian Rhapsody.
    Clues: Singer. Directing. Mercurial=Freddy Mercury.

    Hope he is outed and held strongly accountable for what he did.

  91. Incuriosity says

    Singer: Bryan Singer

    Clues: Capital S on “Singer”, Mercurial – reference to Freddie Mercury – he’s directing Bohemian Rhapsody, references to directing a musical – Broadway 4D.

    [Optional] What do you think will happen to his career?

  92. La Lurker says

    Bang on as always, BG – Bryan Singer fired from Queen biopic. Yep – his time of reckoning has come.

  93. rorythedragon says

    Thank you, Ace. This is great news. Bryan Singer, it’s time to pay the piper.

    What do you think will happen to his career? He’ll be directing prison plays. And I hope his buddy Jeffrey Epstein shares his cell.

  94. haley1020 says

    bryan singer
    singer- his last name and it sounds like you’re describing his film the usual suspects starring another rapist aka kevin spacey

  96. VT1415 says

    Bryan Singer, director, noted pedo
    The Singer
    The child abuse ring has existed for a long time, and several times they have tried to expose it. I’m not sure. But everyone knows he is a perv.

  97. Soprettytome says

    Brian Singer, who no longer is the director of the Freddie Mercury biopic.

    I hope he gets what he deserves for all the awful things he has done. Good riddance!
