Bryan Singer Dropped From Bohemian Rhapsody's BAFTA Nomination After Recent Assault Allegations

Bryan Singer is facing more repercussions from the recent sexual assault allegations made against him.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) suspended Singer’s nomination in the outstanding British film category (similar to the Oscars‘ Best Picture) for Bohemian Rhapsody just four days before the ceremony was set to air.

A rep for Singer did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

“In light of recent very serious allegations, BAFTA has informed Bryan Singer that his nomination for Bohemian Rhapsody has been suspended, effective immediately,” the statement read.

“BAFTA considers the alleged behavior completely unacceptable and incompatible with its values,” it continued. “This has led to Mr. Singer’s suspended nomination. BAFTA notes Mr. Singer’s denial of the allegations. The suspension of his nomination will therefore remain in place until the outcome of the allegations has been resolved.”

Bohemian Rhapsody, which follows the trajectory of Queen band members Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon, will keep its nomination in the outstanding British film category.

Singer was previously nominated alongside the film’s producer Graham King and screenwriter Anthony McCarten. Both King and McCarten’s names remain listed under the outstanding British film nomination. Singer was not nominated for the best director BAFTA.

“BAFTA believes everyone has the right to a fulfilling career in a safe, professional working environment, and it will continue to collaborate with the film, games and television industries to achieve this,” the statement read. “BAFTA will make no further statement on this matter during the period of suspension.”

Last month, the film’s GLAAD Media Award was revoked in light of the allegations against Singer.

The Atlantic published a report involving allegations from men who accused the X-Men director of seducing and having sexual relations with them while they were minors — one as young as 13.

The article was published in the wake of Bohemian Rhapsody being nominated for multiple Oscars including Best Picture and crossing over $900 million at the worldwide box office.

PEOPLE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of The Atlantic’s report.

Singer’s lawyer Andrew Brettler told The Atlantic that the director categorically denies ever having sex with, or a preference for, underage men. The lawyer also noted that Singer has never been arrested for or charged with any crime.

In response to the allegations and GLAAD’s decision, Singer denied the allegations and denounced the article as a “homophobic smear piece.”

Singer has also previously been accused of abuse, and he denied those allegations, as well.

In 2014, aspiring model and actor Michael Egan filed a civil suit against the director, claiming he forced him into sex at parties in California and Hawaii in the late 1990s.

The director’s attorney at the time, Martin Singer (no relation to the director), called the lawsuit “absurd and defamatory.” Singer provided evidence that he was not in Hawaii at the time and the suit was ultimately dropped.

Later in 2014, a second accuser filed a sexual abuse lawsuit against Singer. When he was 17, the man claimed in the lawsuit, Singer fondled him and tried to force him to have sex. Singer vehemently denied the allegations.

A Los Angeles court accepted Singer’s motion to dismiss on the grounds that there was no legal basis for the suit, and that it was improperly brought.

He was fired from Bohemian Rhapsody in 2017 near the end of filming for allegedly being “unexpectedly unavailable” for several days on set. Singer is still credited as director and thanked the Golden Globes on social media in January when the film won best picture at the Golden Globes.
