The production company behind the upcoming reboot of Red Sonja is standing behind director Bryan Singer.

On Wednesday, The Atlantic published an exposé about Singer and his relationships with underage boys, with several men accusing him of having sex with them when they were minors. Singer denied the allegations, and Avi Lerner, founder and CEO of Millennium Films, released a statement Thursday saying that he supports Singer, and is not firing him from Red Sonja.
