Hollywood is notorious for its sex scandals, and the latest includes X-Men director Bryan Singer, who has agreed to settle a sex abuse lawsuit for $100,000, but still says he’s innocent.

The lawsuit is in regards to Michael Egan’s claims, who said he was sexually abused and assaulted by Bryan Singer in properties in Hawaii and California when he was a teenager.

“Let us be clear,” said Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer. “This in no way changes the fact that Bryan Singer is innocent of these unsubstantiated lies.”

Marty Singer also says that the claim itself lacks credibility, as shown from Egan’s lawyers dropping him.

“As Mr. Egan and his now-ex-lawyers know, a legitimate claim in this type of case can run into the millions of dollars, so their willingness to resolve it for such a relatively low figure demonstrates their total lack of confidence in their chances for success. This was their way of trying to save face after an unsuccessful attempted shakedown of Bryan Singer.”
