Bryan Singer’s reputation has been clouded by accusations of sexual assault, but it looks as though there was mass disharmony on his film set. That is according to Alan Cumming.
Halle Berry Told Disgraced Director Bryan Singer To ‘Kiss My Black A**’ On Toxic Set of ‘X2: X-Men United’
The actor had worked alongside Halle Berry on the set of the film ‘X2: X-Men United.’ And it was during the course of his time here that he witnessed Halle telling Bryan just how outraged she was in her condemnation of him.
In his book entitled ‘Tales From a Fully Packed Life,’ Alan outlined how Halle squared up to the director. The book said: “[Halle told him] kiss my Black a**.” This begs the question: what made Halle react this way?
Well, it turns out that Bryan was not being professional on the set. Not only did he exhibit behaviour that was characterised by paranoia and mood swings, it turns out that he may have been doing substance abuse on the set.
The book added: “[Bryan] has himself admitted he was using painkillers at the time.” Therefore, there were concerns over the actress’ safety on set.
Given that Bryan may have been taking drugs, there were fears over how he could behave to the rest of the other members. Nevertheless, Bryan did not see things that way.
He felt that there was a personal attack against his reputation and did not understand why people were questioning him, given that he was such a successful director.
As such, he felt he had no choice but to respond. And he did so in the most unsavoury of circumstances. He replied: “You people … are full of f–king s–t!’ None of us [cast] had ever made a decent film.
“[We] were lucky to be working with him.” Bryan has yet to respond to these comments, but it is understandable given that he is facing a lot of scrutiny anyway.
But what it shows is that Bryan’s behaviour was known to be volatile, and if other actors had spoken out on mass, then the allegations of sexual assault that he had been involved in may have stopped. Let us hope that people speak out going forward.
