Bryan Singer is pulling out of future press events for X-Men: Days of Future Past so as **t to distract from the “extraordinary contributions from the incredibly talented actors and crew involved,” the embattled director said Thursday in a statement. In it, he also called ***ual abuse allegations against him “outrageous, vicious and completely false.”

It was the first in-his-own-words reaction from Singer since Michael Egan, **w 31, filed a lawsuit in a Hawaii federal court (http://mashable.com/2014/04/17/x-men-director-bryan-singer-accused-of-***ually-assaulting-teen-boy/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) alleging that the director drugged and raped him as a teen at parties in Los Angeles and Hawaii.
