Singer also attempted to bribe Sanchez-Guzman into silence. The lawsuit states that he told the victim that he was a producer who could help him get into acting if he remained quiet.

This news breaks just days following word that Singer was fired from Bohemian Rhapsody, the biopic of Queen frontman Freddy Mercury. The director was repeatedly absent from the set, which eventually led to a confrontation with lead actor Rami Malek and a complete shutdown in production. Following his dismissal, Singer claimed that he had been caring for a sick parent.

Singer is likely best known as the director of multiple films in Fox's X-Men franchise, starting with the 2000 original and as recently as 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse. He also directed the pilot of Fox's The Gifted, which debuted this fall, and 2006's Superman Returns.
