Director Brian Singer, best known for his work on “Usual Suspects” and multiple “X-Men” films, agreed on Wednesday to pay a man accusing him of raping him when he was a teenager $150,000 in a settlement Singer’s lawyers say is “purely a business” decision.
“Mr. Singer has denied even knowing this individual, let alone allegedly having interacted with him more than 15 years ago,” Singer’s attorney Andrew Brettler said in a statement reported by The Wrap. “The decision to resolve the matter with the bankruptcy trustee was purely a business one, as litigation costs would well exceed the amount requested by the trustee to pay off the creditors who were owed money when the debtor filed for bankruptcy.”
