This one really sucks bc I love him.

https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/al...golden-globes/

I'm not surprised though bc I've heard some rumors around NYC and he did close his acting school with little notice once the #metoo thing started. Heard a rumor he paid some girls off so they wouldn't mess with his awards season bid for the disaster artist.

I also remember that Lindsay Lohan started going bananas after Franco dumped her. They both lived at the chateau marmont. She's been a mess even since.

Those two accusation from different women are totally different! One said she felt exploited doing nudity in his film. But she chose to do it. Now nude movie scenes are exploitation? Then don't do them.

The other woman accuses him of sexual assault and exposing himself. That makes more sense if we are going to go there.

The first issue at least to me still brings up some very uncomfortable issues. Should an actress be faced with the decision to perform nude to do what she wants to do?

Yes, they can say no and remain a waitress.

But why blame Franco for that. Many actors and actresses are fine with doing nude scenes. This woman did one and regrets it so blames the person who hired her.

I don't watch Game of Thrones but I hear a lot about it. If actors in it were against nudity they would not be hired for the show.

Hollywood is not going to get prudish about nudity all of a sudden because some no-name actress has regrets about doing a scene.

The other woman says he exposed himself and tried to shove her head in his lap. That is a problem.

a few years ago when he was messaging a 17 year old girl on instagram and trying to get her to meet with him, he offered to get a room at a hotel. he knew she was 17, he was 35. she never did meet him. she posted about it and the story got around. he admitted it.

kind of weird. i read the instagram messages that they exchanged, they exchanged numbers and went on to texting. she is from scotland and was visiting in new york when she saw him on the sidewalk signing autographs after a play and she got a picture with him in the background and he asked her to post it on instagram tag him in the picture. obviously he was instantly attracted to her and she tagged him that's how he found her instagram and started with the messages. he just dove right in with asking her questions! how old are you? do you have a boyfriend? where do you live? should i get a room?

age of consent is apparently 17 in new york, but still he is a little old for a 17 year old!

I've heard (best friend from college is an actor) that Franco's a very talented but perverted dick so not surprised.
