James Franco accused of sexual misconduct

 

Multiple women have accused actor and director James Franco of sexual misconduct in several Twitter posts in the last few days. The accusations follow Franco publicly supporting the #TimesUp movement within the Hollywood film and TV industry to crackdown on sexual misconduct. The ‘Disaster Artist’ star wore a symbolic ‘Times Up’ pin on Sunday during the 75th annual Golden Globes, where he won the award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy.

At this time, Franco has not responded to the allegations which started to grow online in the last 24 hours following the Golden Globes.

Sarah Tither-Kaplan, actress who recently worked on one of Franco’s films also called him out online.

The contempt for Franco winning an award and appearing this week’s Golden Globes complicates this issue is also being expressed.

Consequence of Sound and the Independent also have the latest updates on this story as it develops.
