James Franco Addresses His Sexual Misconduct Allegations

This is the problem with the world. People can throw such horrible accusations and destroy people's lives and yet nothing happens when they've no evidence to prove it or are caught lying. I'll stand with the genuine women who have been genuinely scarred by pigs and pedophiles, but I'll also stand by the men who are being witch trailed by people wanting 15 minutes of fame

Here is how all “sexual allegations” come about. These women sleep with these celebrities thinking they will get money or fame out of it, and after the fact they realize they just got dogged out for nothing, the only thing they can think of to do is to say the celebs raped them to try and get their payday.

As much as I think that people who prey on the vulnerabilities of younger people to sexually exploit them are horrible people, I don't see how James Franco was doing that here. I certainly believe that sexual predators, famous and non-famous alike belong in prison and require going through a lengthy rehabilitation. With that said, it seems that it is the case that James Franco wasn't deliberately trying to take advantage of anyone. Why would a young 17 year old girl go out of her way to try to entrap James Franco when she doesn't have to? Because it creates a huge amount of drama which puts the spotlight on herself. "Let's meet up... April fools!" . The main characteristic of a predator is that they prey on the vulnerable to exploit them for their own desires. From James Franco perspective, he probably thought she really wanted to have a night of fun and probably sex by the end of it all. I think this form of entrapment is wrong, because not only is it wrongly used to suggest that the wrong type of people are sexual predators, but it's extremely open to abuse towards people with some fame to their name.
As much as I think famous celebrity predators have gotten what they deserved( Charlie Rose, Bill Cosby and the like), it seems that the only way to avoid allegations of sexual misconduct as a famous person is to be a bonefide monk. Celebrities are people with sexual desires like most other people. It seems that contrary to the allegations that Franco is a predator, there is in fact a form of predatory witch-hunt which targets people with fame with the use of entrapment as the main tool. The primary motivation seems to be a moment in the spot-light, when not a bit of harm has come to you, and the allegations were driven entirely by the trapper trying to set up a situation specifically to entrap the target in, even when they haven't actually done anything.

What I learned is if you make a mistake in the past especially if it's inappropriate sexual behavior YOU CAN'T GET OVER THE PAST!!!! I mean this guy is NO Brett Kavanaugh who gets a pass and gets nominated in spite of Dr. Christina Deblazi Ford but that saying you need to put the past behind you is a bunch of crap! Franco's life is ruined!!!

There is two sides to every story and i dont know if its true or not but i hope these women are not lying just so they can ruin someone's career. We live in a world today where women can accuse a man of something and everyine believes her as they show sympathy more towards women. I believe in equality too but they are so thirsty no offence on the nice, humble women out there :)

No means no 😐

I hate women who fake rape and/or say that they were raped like 10 years ago, they destroy peoples careers and i hate people like roxanne pallet who fake abuse and ruin peoples careers, james is a brilliant actor and they are just ruining and brilliant mans career and life. Feminists and feminism is just stupid. #fuckfeminism

They need to let my Baby be. He is too hot to sexual abuse anyone. He should be worried aboutbeing sexually himself.Leave him alone!!!!!!

Guilty asf. 😂

He's a nice guy he wouldn't do anything dumb. And those girls made the accusation after he won the award and not before.

What bugs me is that people are holding allegations such as these to the same level as allegations towards people like Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey. You can't hold someone whose allegations aren't that bad to those of a fucking rapist pervert

another sex predator

James is a weird guy, improvident, risky, naive, manifesting, BUT HE IS NOT AN ASSHOLE. BITCHES GIVE HIM A BREAK

I believe alot of women lie and play false victim for attention that makes the real victims look bad. False reports should be punished by ten years in prison minimal

Pedo !!!

Should have asked Franco about his and his brother's involvement in human trafficking. #Dubai

James is a dubious character.You have to be to swim in the Hollywood cesspool.

Is he gay ?? Or what

Know your place

He's smart.

Its just crap. He didnt do this. Something maybe happend, but these women are just retardet. Many people jealouse besause james is succesful, but nade the accusations right when he won a Golden Globe?
I really like james. My dream is meet him and i dont belive he did this

Seth Meyers what a ball buster

James Franco is a SATANIST a deciever and takes part in Spirit Cooking 😈😬👎don't beLIEve anything that any Hollywood entertainers say, they are all working against the masses 🐑 by influencing people with whatever agendas the government and shadow governments are pushing 😬

He smiled when i was sad= R.A.P.E

good for Seth Meyers

I continued my prayers for james he deserves the best an a great journey in life

where is his smile like always ?? why did they take his smile from him ?? i hate these cruel people who can take the beautiful things about you from you what a disappointed world we are living in !!!
for the ignnorant people in the comments
james franco is a very very smart guy indisputably
will not smear his reputation for a few teenage girls !!!! he's Handsome, Famous and Rich he can be with girls who honestly deserves him, without putting himself into trouble, he knows he's famous he can't Risk his career , his reputation, and all the hard work he was doing for years....Please people !!! WAKE UP the whole case is that there are few unknown girls trying to get fame, stop judging him !!! I'm sure he is innocent.

Woman making accusations when it can draw the most attention for them! There is only 2 things most of these woman want attention amd money and this times up rubbish is a platform for many woman to make up stories and make huge amounts of money and ruining many mens lives. Breaking news people lie and the person being accused his or hers name should be kept quite until found quilty in court!

Seth Meyer is a scum bag

He’s innocent

James Franco my husband💋😍🌹

What sets Seth apart from other nightshow hosts is his depth of sensitivity and lack of hubris. This interview demonstrates that - James actually manages a genuine smile when Seth said it was time to talk about the movie after all the hard part before. Stephen Colbert's interview on the other hand, would have given the Dalai Lama an anxiety attack - he just left him on the skewer and ended the interview. By no means am I a supporter of James, but so far only Meyers has brought in the right amount of decency and sensitivity in interviewing him.

Another Jewish Actor
Another above law Jewish
Nothing new

The first thing that comes to mind is strawberries... Seeing I don't know him but he is cooool❤❤❤

If you can tune a piano you can tune a fish

Y O U B R O K E M Y N O S E ! ! !

They coming for my man James, we know him for damn near doing everything BUT this mess! The liessss these women are telling. I don't believe it at all.

I wouldn't mind having James Franco sending me nudes 😂

okay so what i dont understand is: he isnt directly saying the accusations arent true and he isnt in a rush to defend himself. so is he sticking up for women rights like im praying he is and being the good human i thought he was or did he actually do that stuff and just isn't even denying it bc if thats true id be sad

this whistleblowing has taken out a lot of jews.

I feel so bad for him

Looks like Troy Kell haha

Troy Kell

I want him to play Charles Lee Ray/Voice of Chucky in the child's play remake filming in September. Melissa George as Karen Barclay, Mark Wahlberg as Det Mike Norris, Jake Gyllenhaal as Jack Mario Santos, Heather Matarazzo as Margret Lorraine Peterson, Adrian Grenier as Eddie Caputo, Alexandra Daddario as Tiffany Valentine

1:20 - I think Seth Meyers kinda sucker punched him here. He doesn’t know the entire story, but he asked the questions in a way to purposely put Franco on the spot & implied that he was guilty of the accusations.

Poor dude

My baby is innocent they're just tryna drag him down

I like james franco. He always makes a movie better by just being there.

He can assault me sexually anytime he wants.

Hes got some stink dick

Everyone started poking nose after he won that golden globe award wow
I believe in James

I still LOVE him no matter what and I think some those women over reacted and others could’ve REALLY said NO but they didn’t do it

Seth Meyers talks too much. Just get to the question and stop giving so much narrative.

Yesterday I was at six flags with five other people and we were at a table near a Johnny Rockets. We saw someone that looked like James but we didn't know until we heard his voice. My cousin smiled at him but he gave her a disgusted look for some reason. When we were walking through the park after that two or three of the other people with me saw James walking with his arm around a girl's waist. I just assumed it was his girl friend when they told me, but when I searched up his girl friend, they said that the girl didn't look like the one in the picture. We realized that he could've been cheating or something, but we honestly don't know

What a weird ass conversation.

Men should not be supporting me too and times up, because clearly it backfires. This is a good example of that. Many of us, as women have had negative experiences but so what? We need to act like the strong women we claim to be.

I admired the #MeToo movement but over the course of time, I've come to hate it because I'm starting to suspect that some people are using the #MeToo movement just to screw people over. Especially, people in the public eye. They're literally easy targets because regardless of whether it's true or not, they will be scrutinized by the public and their reputation could be tarnished. While, the people tweeting can simply say anything without consequence. It's cowardice.

hate to see it but he looks guilty.

Love you seth

There’s a certain group of predators, those who literally harass you sexually and those like James here, who are being accused of doing these things.
I feel like some women are literally misunderstanding the word and it’s meaning. If a man accidentally touches you on your body (private parts excluded) I’d said it’s not sexual harassment, and especially when they apologize for doing so immediately and never do it again.
Some good guys have lost their reputation because women use this term in their favor, and that’s not good.
Example: Liam Neeson named someone in an interview, who accidentally touched a girl on the back, with the girl’s top being open in the back, so afterwards this guy apologizes a few times, and even emails the girl apologizing again in which she says it’s nothing, but some time later he gets a phone call from his lawyer saying that she accused him of sexual harassment. That is wrong and should not be happening. There are in reality people who have been harassed and it’s torture to them, and some of these women misguide the media. I hope they learn from their mistakes and take this issue more serious

Damn witches, this guy is a saint.

And who cares , dirty spick

james asshole

I don't know a single guy that doesn't make womanizing motives in his life at some point, and women use men just as much for their own shitty motives.

Motherfuckers pay people real quick!

daddy?

I like how the act of adults trying to have consensual sex with each-other is now considered "misconduct". I do believe medieval Catholicism wasn't this puritanical.

Damn. Seth just went right into it, he's like forcing him to talk about it.

This video has the most silent audience I have ever heard in my life. OH WAIT, it sounds like it was filmed without an audience at all, so that no one would boo him!

I would be honored lol

this guy has to be the most boring host

Harry Osborn

1:25 check out his body language when Seth asked about one of his accusers. He closes up and lies.

She went to twitter instead of the police. BULLSHIT OF HER.

I believe that James is innocent.

James Franco is gay ?

Dylan will not participate.

I love James Franco, but this seemed like a total cop out. He says the tweets are "not accurate" which is an interesting choice of words because it skirts the line between "lying" and "difference of perspective". Then Seth brings it around as a "difference of perspective" but neither elaborate on it at all, Franco just explains why he's being noble by not having an alibi or a good defense, or even an explanation of what happened or why. He wants the good PR of being part of the solution, but when pressed on the allegations he just mumbles his way through these BS excuses and doesn't really talk about anything. Like I said, I love James Franco, which is why I'm so disappointed about this. We all know he's no stranger to sketchy behavior after sexting that teenager on instagram, and he apologized for that, I guess, only because he got caught. Take a page out of Dan Harmon's book; own up to your mistakes, and apologize.

If ones' accused today - guilty! All Guilty! That's the American way, guilty! Toss out the laws, don't waste time and money, just Guilty! Build more prisons as trumpie said - all Guilty! So is Drumpf - Guilty! Eff em all - Guilty AF! 😁

The guy is a very good actor, though. I am a big fan

Who the hell would love the disaster artists? That movie was terrible . They could of based a movie on a way more interesting person.

Who hasn't been accused of sexual assault at this point?

You mother fucking bitches need to stop trying to get easy money!!! Enough is enough! Fucking greedy money hungry cunts!!! And then you bitches wait up to 30 years to say that you were "assaulted" and yadda yadda yadda!!!! Cut the crap you whores!!

Jame Frank is so goodlooking that ugly girl wish he would

These thots

From the article in LA Times:
"In some cases, they said they believed Franco could offer them career advancement, and acquiesced to his wishes even when they were uncomfortable."
So, they did what they did to advance their own careers. Now they're probably pissed because they are not rich and famous. How about women start taking full responsibility of their actions as well? Don't "reluctantly consent" and whine about it later. Refuse whatever it is you're not comfortable with when it happens. Also, why are all these #metoo women releasing allegations publically before taking it to court? Unfortunately a lot of dumb people will take allegations at face value and ignore the outcome of a trial, even if the accusee is acquitted.

Notice how he says "not accurate" instead of immediately saying they were "not true" or "false"

and nothing was learned this day

Its James Franco. He knows he cant say the truth "women throw themselves at me and when im done with them they start to feel some type of way and talk bs

Meetoo....MY ASS!
Legions of whores in warpaint and heels going after these great men.

Who cares about those sluts??

Does going for the first kiss count as sexual harassment. Sounds like it can be used against you even with consent.

I believe him.

Bullshit James Franco even needs to try to get women.
Watch out, you're guilty until proven innocent when a woman accuses you.

it's not all one sided... some of these cunts want to hurt some of these guys and destroy their careers and also they are using the actual abuse from some of these women to try and shame men for consensual interactions in which they were "offended" or rejected

James doesn't need to "assault" some stupid skank.....he could have ANY girl on the planet in 5 minutes.

Such a mature and controlled way to talk about such a delicate issue from Franco. Really impressed.

Love this guy. I believe him.

⭐️😽💋💋💋💋💋

They just tryin to hurt is ego.. james franco is a chief.
