Allegations of sexual misconduct were made against Franco once again in 2018, when several students at his former acting school accused him of intimidating them into sexual situations. The allegations which Franco has denied turned into a lawsuit, which was settled in February. Despite the allegations, Rogen has said in past interviews that he would continue to work with Franco but Rogen says that has now changed.

Rogen confirmed that it is not a coincidence that his professional relationship with Franco seems to have come to an end, and said that the allegations have affected their personal friendship as well.

I dont know if I can define that right now during this interview, Rogen said of their friendship. I can say it, um, you know, it has changed many things in our relationship and our dynamic.

In response to the Times comment that the situation must have been painful, Rogen said: Yeah. But not as painful and difficult as it is for a lot of other people involved. I have no pity for myself in this situation.

Gained a bit of respect for Rogen here. A lot of people make excuses for their friends behaviour or overlook it. Seems like it just went too far for him and he probably knows more than the stuff that is public about Franco.

Yeah I saw this too.

What is wrong with these dudes. Why does it have to be younger younger younger and unwilling unwilling unwilling. I guess it's a power dynamic thing. Sucks because they're funny onscreen together but Rogen was still carrying the duo

Really enjoy their dynamics and chemistry together on the screen, but if Seth believes the accusations I can't really blame him.

Hell of an answer, kudos.

my friends wife has first hand stories from college of James Franco being a creep from many years ago so these allegations were never surprising

He's lobbied before Congress for increased Alzheimer's research funds, and donated money so that people arrested in last summer's protests could post bail. He's a good dude.
