The accusation I read was that he simulated oral sex on a woman during an orgy scene in a movie.

Like, isnt that the point?

One of my friend's sister fucked him during his time at NYU.

I met him myself in the NYU library. Pretty chill dude and one of my favorites in the industry. His career is done though.

I wish James Franco would behave inappropriately around me

Also:

Both women described what they considered to be an unprofessional and hostile shoot at a strip club.

Midway through filming, Dusome said Franco approached the actresses who wore masks and lingerie and asked, "So, who wants to take your shirt off?"

When no actresses volunteered, Franco stormed off, Dusome recalled.

"I felt like I was selected for something based on my hard work and my merit, and when I realized it was because I have nice [breasts], it was pretty clear that was not the case," Dusome said.


Wooooow shocking! You have nice tits and are at a strip club shoot what the hell do you expect was the reason he asked?

He always acts gay in his comedy movies so that's probably why young people like him so much. This will sink him.

They should make a movie about James Franco and have Tommy Wiseau play him.

Seriously though, feel bad for his brother Dave Franco. It's gonna pull him down as well.

They had begun a romantic relationship when she said he pressured her into performing oral sex on him an act shed never done with him at that point while sitting in her car.

I was talking to him, all of a sudden his penis was out, said Paley. I got really nervous, and I said, Can we do this later? He was kind of nudging my head down, and I just didnt want him to hate me, so I did it.

She began to perform the sex act, but was uncomfortable. To extricate herself from the situation, she told Franco she spotted someone near the car.

Francos attorney, Plonsker, denied Paleys allegations, calling them not accurate.

Later, Paley said, she and Franco advanced their consensual sexual relationship.


Yes I too often continue and advance a relationship with someone that sexually assaulted me. This one sounds like bitterness.

Are we all ignoring this

A handful of other women were selected to appear with Franco, who simulated performing oral sex on each of them, Tither-Kaplan said. But in each case, she said he removed a clear plastic guard that covered their vaginas and continued to simulate the sex act with no protection.

Assault doesn't have to include contact in many jurisdictions. What you're thinking of is likely battery.


How do you sexually assault someone without making contact?

You're not thinking the correct definition of assault in this case

You can be charged for assault without hitting someone, its assault and battery when there's actual contact made

I feel like most of these 'actresses' are bitter that they didn't get their big break. There's a reason why the class was called 'Sex Scenes' class. They didn't have to take it. They signed nudity agreements and they're complaining about taking their top off during a strip scene?

Maybe Franco is a bit of a womanizer, but I also see a lot of bitterness from these failed actresses.

where does he find the time to sexually assault people

oh right, he teaches how to do sex scenes. so what's the issue here? didn't these people know what they were signing up for? idiots

Im all for women speaking up about abuse but reading this definitely gives me the vibe that these women are butthurt they didnt make it big. They signed contracts, period.

Removing the protective guards and soliciting sex from a 17 year old definitely make him sound like a predator though.
