That has surrounded this guy - going back to when he first became Harvey W's 'darling'. There's stuff out there going back to Apt Pupil.

Amy Berg is directing a documentary about this very seedy underbelly of Hollywood and Singer is included in it. She's been working on this for two years.
I don't think she'd touch it with a ten foot pole if it didn't have legs.
For those quick to defend - where are you on the Catholic Church's abusive history? Was Amy Berg good on this?

Variety, unfortunately for Singer, wouldn't say this if they didn't have the facts.

I disagree with your analysis of "boy or child" under the age of 18 being disingenuous.
