James Franco In Hiding As Sex Assault Allegations Pile Up

Oh well, at least his gay baiting ways will die with him.

He just needs to start a Gay Porn Studio. He's toast. We need artsy gay porn.

Good. His demise can't come too soon.

Source says he’s in “a really bad place.”

The White House? Gotta mind the orange devil there.

ISHC

If he was still on General Hospital I wonder if they would have fired his ass. I think one of the only reasons sexual harassment of women isn't more widespread on the soaps is because most of the actors are gay. I'm not saying gay men aren't the pieces of shit so many straight men seem to be but I've never been harassment by another gay man, not even when I was young and cute. I was flirted with and asked out in a gentlemanly way. No one I know was grabbed or harassed, not even in bars.

I wouldn’t even care if it wasn’t for Dave. He feels his brother’s pain and I don’t want my baby hurting.

It was a good run while it lasted, Franco fuckface. Bye bitch.

No Oscar nom for you!

R7 SAVE DAVE!!!

[QUOTE]We need artsy gay porn

Like fuck do we. CockyBoys tried that and it was awful hipster bullshit.

[QUOTE]SAVE DAVE!!!

The gossip beforehand - which so far seems to have been somewhat accurate - seemed to suggest Dave might've joined in with some of these "acting classes" so maybe not.

If Dave was in on this shit, he does not get a pass.

I've never liked him, he looks disheveled and stinky.

I feel bad for James. He’s so talented that it seems unfair to ruin his career over some minor indiscretions.

Dave wouldn't exist if it wasn't for James. He's the Millennial Frank Stallone.

The Lower East Side of Manhattan is packed with young men who use this jerk off as a role model.

[quote] while another former acting student at the film school Franco founded said he once removed safety guards while filming an oral sex scene on the set of the 2015 film The Long Home.

WTF is a "safety guard" for oral sex ? Isn't that called a condom?

R11 The power of Twink Abs compel you to forgive him !

Save Dave !

r6, no fucking way unless you're completely unfuckable.

r17, Dental Damns. No one uses them. Except in simulated sex scenes. I remember in high school we were all given these packs of condoms plus two dental dams and there was a lot of hilarity about anyone actually holding up a rubber napkin over a box they were trying to eat.

So when these actors perform oral sex scenes are they generally really doing it?!

The clever, artsy ‘feninist’ Guys are often the worst. Remember this guy at university who was straight & very geeky-hot/slightly effeminate - very smart - very into the politically correct sjw causes. Total asshole and it was mostly a ruse to get laid.

Years later - a friend’s teenage son had a social circle that included a similar kind of guy. He got violent and really nasty when a girl he’d been involved with decided to pull away from him. Other than my friend’s son who was supportive of her - most sided against her as no one could believe this ‘nice guy’ with so much in front of him would have behaved that way. Even the fucking teachers sided with him and tried to convince her to withdraw and complaint and stop talking about it - lest it besmirch the guy or taint what would no doubt be a brilliant career ahead of him. This was half a dozen years ago now. Wonder if any of them have been given pause to reconsider their actions...

Tell me R13, if he lifted his balls to expose his glorious taint would you wiff it? ........ Well, would you?

^^ feminist - sorry! Typo R21

R22 FUCK NO

I hope they recast him on The Deuce. Not a fan of either of his performances, though I've liked him in other things.

[quote]I hope they recast him on The Deuce.

I'm available!

Aight R24 😅 I respect that. But, let me posit a question: What do you think they ( the taint , balls or both) smell like? I'm going with unwashed denim and stale patchouli .

r20, no. First of all they're usually several inches away from each other, as in mouth to crotch. And the dude have cock socks and the women are supposed to have a partial panty covering as well, though depending on the angle I can see why you might resort to something like a dental dam. One of the reasons it's fairly rare to show a woman being eaten out on camera is because it's a hard thing to fake. Much more difficult than a BJ or simulated intercourse. Knees and arms have to be choreographed to be in the way to obscure fakery/lack of contact, male (most) filmmakers are very rarely interested in shooting POV from the woman being pleasured and it's hard to shoot it from the reverse angle. But the other reason you rarely see cunnilingus on screen is because men don't like to be reminded of something they're bad at.

I would've been just like him in his situation. He saw Hollywood as a decadent playground, had fantasies of being James Dean sucking off Marlon Brando and then fucking Pier Angeli. He got to indulge in his fantastic artistic pretentions- all the while being young, hot, rich, and desirable. I LOVED his Rebel without a Cause art exhibition in 2012. He made a whole documentary about Brad Renforo, that was shown there, which ended with Franco getting a Brad Renforo tattoo.

Looks like he maybe overstepped a few bounds. Very bad timing for him. But, I haven't heard anything THAT bad, yet. I still love him.

The dental dam thing is interesting in that so far its the most serious of the accusations. Since it happened on the set of a movie, it sounds like the incident was likely witnessed by several people and probably meets the legal definition of sexual assault. The other accusations are problematic but I would not be surprised if he could face criminal charges for the dental dam incident.

He probably won't face charges since this seems to be the way these things are going. I think I remember reading that NYC declined to charge HW with rape. I doubt Franco will face criminal charges. At least everyone now knows what kind of person he actually is. I guess that's better than nothing.

R20 No, that's what the guards are meant to be there for.

R31 So when lesbians use a dental dam to practice safe sex, they're not really having sex?

He will claim he had to move the dental dams because they were showing on camera and the lighting and camera and mics were already set up so the easiest thing to change to keep them out of frame was to slide them a little to the left or down or both.

r32, lesbians don't use dental dams. NO ONE uses dental dams!

Are dental dams meant for pussy with teeth?

I sharpen mine, regularly.

Why can't The Deuce spin off Franco's characters and call it The Douche.

Let's hope that's one closet he chooses to stay in. Bitch.

A dental dam is the equivalent of trying to suck cock while holding a 1inch by 1inch rubber sheet over the urethra. If that's what all condoms were, there'd be no safe sex. But that's what exists for women who want to get munched without getting weird sores all over their junk.

Don't do the criiiiime

If you can't do the tiiiiime...

No!...

(Don;t do it!)

James wrote about picking up young fans in his terrible book Actors Anonymous. He has always crossed boundaries by Gavin’s sex with minors

Dave is gay and Allison Brie is his beard.

What amazes me is how ALL of these fucks expected to get away with it!

What is Alison Brie? She has no sexuality.

The cheese stands alone!

* having sex with minors

If Brie Larson and Allison Brie got married...

Brie Larson Brie and Allison Brie Larson - a pretentious mouthful of goop

Anyone remember what a passive-aggressive, scornful douche James Franco was during the 2011 Oscars.? Totally threw shade on Anne Hathaway who was only trying to do her job ( and I'm no huge Anne fan). Got the feeling the dude did not like women very much -- looks like I may have been right.

r14 i feel bad for him, too.

R32 I didn't say that, wtf? The description I read didn't sound like something that would allow direct contact, hence the word guard.

God, I'm fucking tired.

R48 yeah i remember when they walked out together and he was filming it on his phone. Total douche.

I got the exact same vibe, R48.

If you think that actor who recently won a big award is in trouble now, he's in for a rude awakening. Several men are ready to come forward with their accusations of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and even videotaping a sexual encounter. He won't be able to laugh off these allegations. James Franco

Apparently on more than one occasion, this A list mostly movie actor forced himself on this former back in the day A list mostly movie actress who has not acted in some time. One of the times was witnessed by someone who walked in on the pair in his dressing room. The actress was topless and on her knees and as soon as the door opened, the actress made a break for it as fast as she could. The actor laughed it off. James Franco/Ally Sheedy

Why did Ally delete her tweets? Lawsuit threat? Changed her mind?

Alison Brie claims to be a feminist and has quite a few posts about how in love she is with her husband, Dave. They've been together a long time. It would be interesting if he turns out to have removed a few dental dams too. I've disliked James ever since that insider came on here and gave us more details into his personality. He reminds me of an ex boyfriend who was also a creative writer and used his teaching assistant position at a university to bed as many female and male students as he could in exchange for grades. For what it's worth, Ally wasn't the only celebrity to tweet about James. Zoe Kazan did too, in a more discreet manner and she has continued to like tweets referring to James's downfall since this all went down.

I hope he didn't bother anyone on the set of King Cobra.

R57 Are you suggesting he may've pierced the veil of Garrett Clayton?

Well, he finally got the attention he so desperately craves...

Another great actor being plagued by the War on Nookie. I hope he gets his Oscar nod and says "Fuck you" to everyone.

[quote]So when these actors perform oral sex scenes are they generally really doing it?!

How many oral sex scenes are there in films? I struggle to remember any that weren’t clearly simulated, backlit, silhouetted or only briefly shown at all.

Why are people making excuses for him?

Well, they were all women, so all DLers should know now that the 'Am I gay or not?' was one big Jewish money making ruse.

I do either one of them

James may become the most famous bisexual predator ever known to mankind

Is he preparing for his public anal violation?

r61 = Chloe Sevigny

Will the Nazi shithead in this thread fuck off back to /pol/ and/or die in a fucking grease fire?

This is a gay site, we aren't going to fall for your shit. We know what you really think of us and can see through your tactics like glass.

GTFO.

Told you all along he was straight and just queer baiting. I never believed he was gay.

R69 most gossip said he was bisexual. I tend to think that is true.

I never believed he was gay but I did believe he was a homophobe.

Forgot what an ass he was when he hosted the Oscar's.

R69, he was GAY baiting....gay and “queer” are not synonymns.

Still can't believe he is truly straight . lol

But maybe some of his accusers are young guys?

What's Gay baiting?

Too calculated and too orchestrated just when he's about to be in the running for an Oscar... annoying shit. And further proof that actresses are the biggest assholes on the planet -- take the worst female and then add 1000x more self-involvement and entitlement and victim status and you get the average wannabe actress. Trust me on this one.

R76 Except if they were fake accusations, he wouldn't be hiding away. He'd be fighting back.

Too bad this didn't erupt before the Golden Globes. Hugh Jackman was robbed.

He’s going to get nominated come January 24 and everybody is going to sit on their hands when his name is read as a nominee at the Oscars.

Hugh Jackman has, as another DLer put it, a face like a plate full of worms.

To me he seems even worse than Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey because he always gives elaborate lip service to political correctness. Even to the end, all this bullshit about letting women speak when he knows damned well he did exactly what he's being accused of doing.

There are people who have been accused whom I think have been given a raw deal, like Zeffirelli and Al Franken and Garrison Keillor. But I have heard the rumors about Franco, just like I heard the rumors about Weinstein and Spacey, for years.

[quote] Trust me on this one.

No thanks--I can't trust someone anonymous.

I wonder if James convinced himself that his victims - including teenagers - liked it. That fits the MO of sexual predators

Franco baby, your hiding place or mine?

The LA Times says some Oscar voters are asking if they can change their vote!

[quote]I hope they recast him on The Deuce.

Nope, he's the executive Producer. It's his baby. His production company, in other words, he owns it. They would have to just cancel it outright.

He wasn't in "bad place" Sunday night at the Golden Globes. In fact, he never looked happier. He's only sad now because he got caught and it's going to hurt his career. Boo hoo.

R86 Not defending him, I can’t stand the smarmy weasel face. But I don’t think it’s right to change their votes based on rumors and allegations. It’s a fucking award for ACTING, not a personality contest.

And it's not even a vote for an award but for a nomination. If they want to change their vote just don't vote for him on the actual awards ballot.

He's not hiding out THAT much. He was on not one but two talk shows this week discussing it. He seems stunned that what he did with any of them is scandal. And it does suck. More retroactive rewriting of consensual sex, the New Trend.

[QUOTE]More retroactive rewriting of consensual sex

At what point did any of them give consent then?

Franco and The Deuce: Season Deuce is still on.

R92, the one who was dating him and had sex with it quite a bit until her "forced" blow job she gave him so "he wouldn't hate me"? Or the stripper girl who agreed to nudity for $100 a day and then regretted it because she felt disposable or whatever the shit she said? Or the students of the young hot movie star whom I'm sure showed no desire to sleep with him. jesus....

I don't agree, R89. The acting profession is very subjective. It's also an honor as so few people can have such interesting and lucrative careers.

The Academy shouldn't waste its prestige on slimy people. It's a really small club and they should raise their standards regarding the type of people they allow to join this exclusive world.

There are so many other more decent people that have more talent and better looks than James Franco. Up till now, bigwigs have accepted people like Franco because they are a reflection of themselves. This needs to change.

And good for "The Deuce". About fucking time someone grew balls and stood up for the accused instead of caving to politically correct bullshit.

Come on, R95, he's a cute guy who sleeps with any number of cute girls. Because he can/could. I am baffled at how fucking puritan the Left has become. In the name of... what exactly? I have no idea at this point.

[quote] Come on, [R95], he's a cute guy who pushes any number of cute girls into having sex with him.

FIXED.

I hope he and movie don't get nominated because you know he'll bring that asshole Wiseau with him.

Doesn't he have a history of being violent/aggressive with women?

I remember Busy Phillips talking about how they didn't get along on Freaks and Geeks and he had shoved her around.

Yes, because yet again, girls are such sad little puppies that can't make any decisions for themselves -- as in whether to sleep with the Movie Star or not? THIS is progress? We are going to look back on this time as very bad. Sexual McCarthyism, for sure. And it makes women look stupid and weak and yet snitchy and man-hating all at the same time. That what you want?

The biggest problem for James is that he targeted teenagers under 18

This is ridiculous. I hope he snaps out of it and fights back. Those women knew what kind of acting they agreed to when they signed the consent forms and accepted the salary they were offered. And the other woman was his girlfriend. She must have gone down on him throughout their whole relationship. She's just a scorned ex who is using this "metoo" movement as a weapon to get back at him for dumping her ugly ass.

[QUOTE]Or the students of the young hot movie star whom I'm sure showed no desire to sleep with him

And now who's rewriting history?

[QUOTE]She must have gone down on him throughout their whole relationship

And? One act on consensual sex doesn't mean you then don't need to ever seek consent for every subsequent act.

This is just like the Singer and Spacey threads. It's clear some of you have done some fucked up shit in the past and you're now trying to convince yourselves you're innocent and it's just "millennials" making something out of nothing.

R104 needs to get laid and fast.

So. Fucking. Glad. I. Am. Gay. This shit is Female Poison personified.

What the fuck is everyone even talking about? None of the accusations seem that bad to me. I don't get it.

He didn't force his dick down her throat R104. All he did was guide her head towards his erection. And how did he get that erection? She probably was giving him a handjob or rubbing his crotch and teasing him.

R108 So basically you're just admitting you're so old you can no longer get it up without direct stimulation, and projecting that on Franco

His biggest problem is him becoming a turn off to female fans. I'm not sure he's the type of actor whose career can be sustained by male fans alone.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Crap, here's a link that should work.

She did say they became friends later on.

When is a man in his 30’s sleeping with teenagers under 18 no big deal?

if he was here with me i'd console him with my mouth on his penis, and give him greasy gooey handjobs all weekend.

[quote]“We were 19, and we really, really disliked each other – it’s well-documented. He shoved me to the ground once. It was really brutal.”

So fucking cute in that shot when 19, above.

And, on behalf of whomever you are talking to, R109, may I say you are a major cunt.

FYI: A Columbia U professor told me in confidence that JF did not receive the MFA degree he claims to have rec'd. He didn't do the coursework.

I used to think most gays were more of a tolerant group because they know what it's like to be hated. I wouldn't know it because of all the judgmental haters here. Franco is a decent actor and if you all can prove what a perverted scumbag you think he is, prove it. By prove, I mean have you had any personal experience with him to make the stories true? Don't just listen to everything you hear. That's why you are so easily convinced by what the FU media says or what failed presidential candidates say. Think for yourselves.

Its not up to David Simon if Season 2 of the Deuce goes on, wouldn't that decision be up to HBO? He doesn't know if there are going to be further accusations against Franco. Hiding out and changing your phone number don't seem to indicate innocence to me, but I will withhold judgement for now. I wouldn't be surprised if he comes out claiming he is a sex addict, even though he once wrote a film review of "Shame" claiming Fassbender's character wasn't a sex addict (seeming to say sex addiction isn't real) and the last scene was just a regular guy having fun.

It's the new McCarthyism, but with sex.

[QUOTE]By prove, I mean have you had any personal experience with him to make the stories true?

So does that mean you don't believe any news story unless you personally witnessed it?

[quote] Franco is a decent actor and if you all can prove what a perverted scumbag you think he is, prove it. By prove, I mean have you had any personal experience with him to make the stories true?

Honey, this is a GOSSIP site.

Get.

OVER.

Yourself!!!

What r106 said. So glad I'm gay and never have to deal with nutty chicks and their endless fucking drama.

usually a hater of him.....i almost feel sorry for the stud.

he has had pussy and cock thrown at him since playing james dean, no excuse, but it takes 2 to tango

that bitch online that 'likes to meet men and ruin their lives' should be run out of town on a stick.

he such an odd one, who kknows where this ends.

as he soo hot, i would still give him my hole any dam day.

JAMES IM HERE !!!

Naw, this news broke just a few days before nomination ballots were due.

FRANCO IS TOAST!

I just hope Dave is taking it well.

If you're going to post Dave gifs at least post the best

[quote] And the other woman was his girlfriend. She must have gone down on him throughout their whole relationship. She's just a scorned ex who is using this "metoo" movement as a weapon to get back at him for dumping her ugly ass.

So you’re making two different arguments:

1) if she did it before, she’s not allowed to ever say no to it, whether she wants to or not

2) she’s probably making up that thing that I just said she’s not allowed to complain about because it’s nothing

If she were making something up to get back at him, do you think she would limit it to that?

R95 You mean like Academy-Award winner Mickey Rourke? How about Kevin Spacey and Roman Polanski?

I don't even think that his accusations are that bad.

One girl that accused was going out with him, why wouldn't he try to get a bj from her.

I used to work in production on some low budget films and what I saw was so disgusting. I don't even think there was money given to the actresses who did nudity and sex scenes. Also one director really extended scenes beyond what the script needed for his own gratification. Unfortunately he is a direct to video hack that no one cares about to even sell this story to. But if those actresses come out with stories, I will back them up.

R129, I say strip their awards. Especially the living ones. Times change! Their pulling down statues of people who were lauded in their own lifetimes.

^They're

[QUOTE]Source says he’s in “a really bad place.”

Funny how getting caught works.

[quote]You mean like Academy-Award winner Mickey Rourke?

Never won an Oscar. He lost to paragon of virtue Sean Penn.

I didn’t want to be vulgar like you, R127. Dave is husband material and should be treated with grace.

First they came for Carter Oosterhouse, and I said nothing. Then they came for Ryan Seacrest, and I said nothing. And then...

He'll go back to making gay films in a few years. We'll be his only audience for some time.

Whore monger

This seems like hysterical BS

[quote] One girl that accused was going out with him, why wouldn't he try to get a bj from her.

If a girl's dating you, she's your property! She'd BETTER give you a bj!

If other stuff comes out, fine. But nothing I've heard so far is all that bad. I'm not getting this at all.

Sorry, I don't think trying to hook up with a 17 year old is all that bad.

Why is someone telling me that Woody Allen is clearly a perv because in Manhattan his character was 42 and dating a 17 year old and that means he's a creep?

r103 is a twisted fuck who thinks a romantic relationship entitles one to rape.

You're full of shit.

And all the people defending Franco's "talent" are ridiculous.

He's a grimy creep who hasn't been good-looking in 15 years and makes pretentious horse shit given the chance to direct.

He's also a closeted queer of some kind. He also bullies amateur filmmakers with the help of a bunch of overprivileged, Hollywood friends a.k.a. smug assholes.

ENOUGH.

FLUSH JAMES FRANCO DOWN THE TOILET.

Has Seth Rogan commented yet?

[quote]What amazes me is how ALL of these fucks expected to get away with it!

Men have men getting away with this shit since forever. It is completely reasonable that they expected (and expect) to continue to do so.

[quote]Why are people making excuses for him?

He is not an old troll like Weinstein or Spacey.

[quote]I used to think most gays were more of a tolerant group because they know what it's like to be hated.

For fucking real? Was that typed without laughing? One has only to read [italic]this[/italic] site to know that that is major wishful thinking, self-serving, rose-colored [bold]bullshit[/bold].

Men sleeping with teenagers is gross. He’s almost 40. And do you really think he hasn’t done it with even younger? Lots of rationalization here from the gay male gaze. He was and is into the very young, just like his buddy David Geffen

Brutally shoving Busy Phillips to the ground is psychotic.

I did it, R147

[quote]Brutally shoving Busy Phillips to the ground is psychotic.

And that was when he was a nobody and he did it in public. Are we to believe this behavior hasn't gotten worse as he got more fame?

Franco sounds like a creep, but the former girlfriend’s complaints are ridiculous. He guided her head towards his penis. This kind of non-verbal communication happens all the time. She doesn’t claim he forced her. She complied because she didn’t want him to hate her. That’s not rape or assault, at all. She should have said “no” if she didn’t want to do it.

Clearly in Hollywood and not real life there are women who will lie about consent to make money. Like I said, in Hollywood and not real life. All people in Hollywood lie. Kind of like the White House.

For R151 ^^^^

I like it when my fella guides me to it. My sense of direction has never been worth a damn anyway, I get lost from the toilet to the hallway haha.

"If a girl's dating you, she's your property! She'd BETTER give you a bj!"

Or I'll call the press in a few years and fuck up his Oscar chances... especially if he broke up with me over something unrelated.

So FUCKING glad I don't have to date goddam women. This movement plays into their worst qualities. Vengefulness, faux wronged stances, professional victimhood and ZERO responsibility for anything they did -- like continuing to date said guy who "forced" a blowjob.

R143 James Franco is not accused of rape.

I support the women who've come forward in Weinstein, 100%. But people like R143 are beginning to sound like The Crucible.

Please consider the known facts before you come to a conclusion. The known facts of James Franco, while at worse distasteful, are nothing he should lose his career over.

He'll survive this since the allegations are not of rape. The one of the covering removal is the one that will give him trouble, as it should, but unlike the others his accusers are not detailing anything nefarious.

Violet Paley tweets for your consideration

Ok, there's a bit of a pattern here but some of his projects are about sex.. It seems like he's most interested in exploiting himself. If $100/day isn't good enough, why did you do it twice? No one forced anyone to do orgy scenes. I wouldn't. How many millions of people have been in a relationship with someone who initiated oral sex. A little kinky public sex in a car scenario. Who cares. Do no women want men to be assertive? If you don't want to do it, don't do it. Ok, there's a power imbalance but I still don't think this adds up to much.

R155 Franco removing a dental dam during an oral sex scene and giving real, non-consensual oral sex while abusing his power in doing so, is pretty damn close to rape. So sick of these apologists.

Ugh.. I don't want to think too hard about this dental dam business... but I think Paley is describing a bad time in an otherwise consensual situation.

R6, the regime at the time was filled with such star fuckers; the first week franco was on the ratings dropped.

I think the story was Maxie would sleep with Franco so he'd do a cover for a magazine? not sure, whatever it was it made no sense b/c franco wouldn't have to get free sex to get publicity for his art.

it was the guza era, I think; he was the one who wrote Genie/Laura out in the early 2000s by re-writing history and making Rick Webber (her adoptive dad, but I think then they called him her stepdad) into some weirdo molester; Rick saw Laura kill some nurse NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE named Teresa Carter...or Laura saw him kill her? Then Scotty killed Rick (!!!) and let Laura think she did it?

SOOOO messed up.

Sorry, this is about James Franco but it all runs together for me and his GH run.

If someone wants you to do something sexually and you go through with it and regret it, that sucks but it's on you to map it out for them. You might need to say something so they understand what you're about and what you want.

I love the way he can turn himself homely just with a smile.

I have to agree about the dental dam issue. Unless these women signed up for porn that is a felony

Slow clap for R143. I don't understand anyone who likes this greasy douchebag "artist."

Oops, I forgot slow clap is a bad thing. Well I'm changing that. I mean it as a good thing.

R159 can you even read? Here let me. He never performed real oral sex, the article clearly says after removing the covers he continued with SIMULATED oral sex.

You fucking moron.

Has Maggie G commented yet?

Yes, I think the faster you can rid of the clap, the better.

Dental dam

I saw him on two latenight talk shows this week.

Saw him on Colbert, and he was looking down most of the time when he talked about the charges. Guilt or embarrassment?

I’ll never forget when River Phoenix died outside of that nightclub. Mourners left flowers etc at the spot he died. Except one person, an actress, left a framed headshot. Of HERSELF! A total narcissist using the occasion hoping to be discovered. These girls are just the same. Same agenda, different tactic. It’s the new Scwanns Drugstore.

Sadly, his career might survive this, because his image is that of a massive douche and here he is shown to be behaving like a massive douche in real life. Sean Penn and Charlie Sheen have similar images, and it's given them a certain amount of career protection - because the one thing that will really kill your career is when the public finds out your image is a tissue of lies.

God, he's repellent, as an actor who specializes in playing self-loving creeps, and as a human being.

[quote]Source says he’s in “a really bad place.”

A Motel 6 in Victorville?

R169 I disagree, and now I'm absolutely certain my first instinct was correct. Fast clap will leave you infertile, with permanent pain, before you even have a chance to cure it! THAT is bad.

He can be blamed for acting sleazy, however there really is nothing criminal to what he did. The episode of the removal of the genital cover could get him suspended or fined by SAGAFTRA for violation of his contract with the union , but it seems the actress went along with it which would make it consensual. She should have said no and report the incident.

She needs to file a report with SAGAFTRA ASAP .

As for Franco, nothing short of a succession of quality indy gay films where he gets ass fucked and is made to blow a hot top could ever recover him in our eyes.

Sorry James, the gays are all you got bitch.

Why do gays still think he's sexy? His teeth are fucking gross and he looks like he doesn't shower.

wow, from reading that girl's tweets, she sounds just as sleazy as him. They ended their so-called relationship on a bad note and she saw an open opportunity to get back at him. Now, if he created a work environment where people felt sexually harassed, that's a different story.

[quote] his career might survive this, because his image is that of a massive douche and here he is shown to be behaving like a massive douche in real life.

He was never dishonest about who he is. He always was a sleaze bag, a cock tease and a swarmy narcissist. But I think he was blind to how others see him. In a way, his cockiness has come back to bite him in the ass. I think his male buddies in the business will support him, though and he'll come out slightly damaged but a lot more humble.

poor thing

He was likely an asshole who dumped and hurt his share of women. And a few are trying to trump up some unsavory things he did. I honestly see nothing here that he should lose his career over. If more women come forward with worse stories, I would certainly listen. To get angry, or punish Franco for this nonsense makes a mockery of the whole movement.

Sorry, I've always found him painfully hot. I like dirty.

As an act of contrition, he will marry his soon-to-be-pregnant girlfriend..

R145 we ain’t your purse puppies, missy. Now go fuck off to LChat and see how tolerant and sensitive the wimmins are there!

[quote]God, he's repellent, as an actor who specializes in playing self-loving creeps, and as a human being.

I totally agree. Read his disgusting, perverse (and revealing) review of 12 Years A Slave at the twitter link.

I can't believe he wrote a review like that. He is perverse.

For a long time, he's been getting away with so much crap, people just wrote it off as eccentricity. I remember looking his filmography on his IMBD page a couple of years ago. There must have been 18- 20 projects in one year from directing to acting, plus he was going to school. Is he bi-polar? There something wrong with someone involved in so many projects at once that it's affected his mental state. I'm not giving any excuses of this behavior but he could be manic.

I’ve so wondered the same thing about him for a while, [R185]. It seems impossible to be that perpetually busy 24/7 (and on so many different projects) and be sane...

He's an Aries--

nuff said

These claims against him are such bullshit. He guided her head to his cock while they were dating? Umm that's normal.

There’s no such thing as dating in LA. It’s all hook ups. This girl is delusional.

I shouldn't try to defend this guy..maybe he's a total sleazeball. I think the common theme with the stories is that he was kinda getting off on his power.. Maybe that can happen if you have fame

I guess it's kinda hard to say no to an attractive famous actor when you're a fame-hungry aspiring young person. He likes to do some provocative projects. Cleansing the world of edgier material wouldn't be the goal.

[R143] shut up and stick your head into an oven.

R102 you are his lawyer I suppose?

No his biggest problem is that he's a scumbag

R107

R108 hey, breeder get off the DL! You are not wanted here

None of the bitter exes and starlets have called him Princess Tiny Meat so I'm still team Franco.

R130 so how 'bad' does it need to be for you to support these young women? What?! They need to be tortured, mutilated and raped several times?

I think if you put your hand on my crotch when I don't want you to is sufficient grounds for you to be clobbered in my book.

All cheesehead cocksucking bottoms over 300 lbs and/or over 55 years on DL. This is no place to gauge normal human reaction.

Classic case of little boys who fail to learn "That with great power, comes great responsibility." Or even "with no power comes an obligation to be a decent human being when interacting with other people."

R197, I'm a woman but I'm not going to take one woman's tweet and ruin a man's career. Did you read her other tweets? Her earlier tweets are just as sleazy as he is,

So, you're actually so backwards that you think a woman tweeting about sex deserves to be sexually assaulted?

R200 so she doesn't have the right to be sleazy? And it justifies sexually assaulting her?

If every str8 guy that was sleazy was raped/assaulted it would be around 80% of the male population, you realise that?

Can't have wealthy, connected, white man's career endangered by sleazy women. Must maintain comforting status quo and silence those who would challenge the privileged.

CDAN is reviving an oldie

[QUOTE]This A list mostly movie actor is probably not expecting the lawsuit headed his way. Oh sure, he thinks a woman might file one but what about that guy he raped a few years back who had to go to the hospital? Yeah, I bet he thought that guy was out of the picture. Nope. Not even close.

R195 Are you fucking serious?

Some of these replies are fascinating. Especially considering that some of them are from people who would screech assault if an old fattie at the gym even dared to look at them twice!

"Can't have wealthy, connected, white man's career endangered by sleazy women. Must maintain comforting status quo and silence those who would challenge the privileged."

Again, the Puritan Left... holy fuck. The Ellen James Society.

What exactly are you people trying to take down? Nobody has a clue anymore. Blowjobs in cars in a consensual relationship? Simulated (and contracted) sex on a movie set? Or, let's face it, is it simply ZERO RESPONSIBILITY for anything that happens at the hands of those mean old men in situations that women have no control over aka every situation in the world apparently. "I didn't mean to sign that nudity contract for $100 a day! It was an imbalance of power!"

Jackie Collins must be glad she's dead. In a year Hollywood will be so well behaved she'd have to write actual fiction.

How sad, R208, that people will finally start behaving themselves and stop acting like skeevy pervs. Tragic. What an attitude. I hate reading a lot of these responses, but I'll defend your right to have fucked up thinking and expressing it. What I won't do is tell you that you're ok. You're not. "Breeders"? WTF is wrong with you people, gay or not, acting as though procreation didn't work in your favor? Franco's gay baiting surely worked when I see some of the misogynist shit on here. This doesn't make me think gay men or women are my enemy, as I am not theirs, but I wonder why so many are defensive around it. The only thing I can conclude is that those who cannot distinguish between consent and non-consent are guilty of forcing themselves on someone. This is fucked up. You are fucked up.

And your "conclusion" is absolutely wrong. You are exactly the problem with this movement.

Support the historically well-documented notion that not every allegation is true nor worth losing careers over and you are a pedophile. True fucked-up (and, yes, Frau) thinking. Go away.

R167 R181 Lick it up.

R201 & r202 is typical of extremist feminist separatist double standards. You sick bitch defending this cunt who is normalising “humour” about paedophilia and real ACTUAL. rape You dirty pedo cunt I bet you touch little girls. Sick pedo fuck

R209 is right. There’s so serious fucked up misogyny in these ranks.

Anyone down for these teef?

Academy Award nominations voting closed yesterday. Nomination announcement Tuesday, January 23, 2018. All is in God's hands now.

Nope, not rape rape

@R212 here you go! Jump off it

R201, R202 is indicative of the problem. Screaming assault when there has been no assault.

R218 = Donald Trump

😍 R178 it's because he would give you the hottest , dirtiest, nastiest fuck that you never knew you always wanted. Even in the end, when you swallow his putridly sour cum , you like it..... you like it. He's just that kind of guy.

If the award isn't that big of a deal, R89, why shouldn't they be able to change their vote?

R212 seems sane.

Pro Tip for @VioletPaley Before you accuse someone you dated of sexual assault, you must delete your posts joking about sexual assault and ruining lives.

Some Oscar voters are having a case of James Franco remorse

Fuck Them All

James Franco, Universities Where He Taught Say No Sexual Misconduct Complaints

James Franco has one surprising supporter amid sexual misconduct allegations: Ashley Judd.

Ashley Judd's thinks what James Franco said in response to sexual misconduct allegations was "terrific": I think that we've all behaved, at a certain level, unconsciously."

Meanwhile, Ashley was the one who promised to throw H. Weinstein a fuck when he got her the Oscar.

R223, I and a whole bunch of both boys and girls, were assaulted by a band teacher in school. I'm not the only one of us who has made tasteless jokes since then. The jokes have nothing to do with the assaults.

But when I see logic like that thing you quoted/wrote, I see why so many Americans believe stupid conspiracy theories and vote for psychopaths. People are just dumb sometimes, and logic consistently fails them.

..........

This woman is really sick

perv bitch wants to fuck young Sheldon

Witch-hunt: A public smear-campaign against an individual.

I hope he’s nominated an Oscar he deserve it

He didn’t commit any crime

It is a Witch-Hunt

Franco sums up Hollywood and its bullshit to the extreme: a week ago, they love you and cheer you on as you win your big award. A week later, they are all yacking about how they hope you aren't nominated for the Oscar. And over, if not nothing, then some pretty inconsequential accusations. What a fucking business. You can tell he is baffled; he didn't see THIS coming last week when he and Dave and Tommy were on stage getting laughs.

Baffled, or in hiding because he knows the less "inconsequential" shit is about to come to light?

She's pretty unfunny, but the problem with her tweets is that she's no doubt trying to be "shocking" and hilarious. She doesn't mean that stuff. Twitter is filled with that shit.

I'm afraid he'll suicide

Where there's smoke...

R242 lol

James, I can hide you. In me.

James going to prison for statutory rape before 2018 is done.

Is Violet Paley any relation to Babe?

Only by both being cunts. One high end, one low.

[quote] I like planning ways to ruin someone's life the moment I meet them

[quote] Yeah you’re right my previous tweets (which were dumb jokes) May seem discrediting to those who don’t understand they’re sarcastic

[quote] it was a joke. I’m sorry if it offended anyone

[quote] @berniesanders I have Borderline Personality Disorder. The stigma surrounding mental illness is disturbing. Please please address this issue

I really hope this chick doesn't end up with a career boost from this. There is nothing credible about her story and finding out she's a borderline makes it even less credible. Borderlines are known to seek revenge when a relationship of any sort ends.

Oh yes, r249, I'm sure that's right out of the DSM 5.

R249 Sorry, she's meeting me in my hotel room at 3am to audition for Sharknado 7.

I heard a guy at work actually say “silence means consent.”

Fucking really, dude? Ugh, no. Consent means consent.

R252 That's why there's been so many guys pushing back on this stuff as it comes out, claiming it's not really assault - because they've done stuff just like it themselves, and they don't want to deal with the guilt. So they tell themselves it's just vengeful women or snowflake bullshit, etc.

R252 I know! The lack of telepathic ability with nasty men is unbelievable!

[QUOTE]I heard a guy at work actually say “silence means consent.”

[QUOTE]Fucking really, dude? Ugh, no. Consent means consent.

Why would you be silent if you don’t want it? The fuck are you supposed to do, wait for them to sign a form after you put the condom on?

Fear tends to make people freeze up. And no, you don't need a form, you just need to fucking ask. Why are you even acting like it's some kind of imposition?

"So he's about to like put it in and he's like 'Do You consent?', I'm like what a fucking loser!"

I’ve never asked for permission and I never will. You got a problem with where my dick is going then fucking say or do something. It’s not like I just snatched you off the streets and pulled your pants down in an alley—being “frozen in fear” then I could see.

[QUOTE]I’ve never asked for permission and I never will

Hardly a shock you're defending Franco then, is it

I thought it was funny that someone a porn scene that actually served as a good example of someone being consensenually guided to blowing someone, and not an awkward encounter such as Violet described. She had made her discomfort clear and Franco ignored that. No, that isn't rape but he obviously doesn't care much for people's boundaries or feelings.

None of them said No to James so they need to shut up. He's not a violent guy he didn't forced them he did not rape any of them.

He didn't sexually assault these woman

With regard to his 12 Years a Slave Review, a lot of actors have a fucked up idea of fun. It's a job where you get paid to suffer publicly over and over and over and over again for 10-17 hours a day for months on end. Depictions of suffering is an actor's primary function. It follows, then, that actors' tolerance to suffering and response to performed suffering, is a little bit different than that of the average person who lives their life actively trying to avoid suffering.

The closest R259 has ever gotten to being laid is that one time when she touched herself...just before freezing in fear of her right hand.

These two girls are just opportunistic loons. The situation with the acting students is more complex. There is no need to have such a class with student participation. If the subject is taught at all, it can be done with pictures from movies or drawings. That is the inappropriate part and James was clearly just perving out at having young nearly naked girls in close proximity. He should be reprimanded and banned from teaching for a period of time.

Read the whole review dickwad R263. Franco is a racist among other things. A terrible writer, being a literal douchebag and possessing juvenile intelligence does not make Franko particularly sensitive to anything but his own pretentions and latent homosexual longings. AKA his contempt for women.

r266 =

You are such a cunt, R267. Enough said.

R248 - Freaky! I had the fleeing thought that her tweets sounded like something a Borderline would say.

More casualties

Nuclear Wintuuur is cooling throwing all these pervs and "close friends" out the window at the Freedom Tower.

It's the dolls, y'all. It's the overwork. The insecurity that leads to the overwork. The people fawning all over you, for whom you feel nothing but contempt (you know they don't really meant it). It's the coke. It brings out the inhibited, selfish beast.

This is beyond the valley of the dolls, Neely darling.

The Creepy Passage In James Franco's accuser Twitter

R240 and you know this for certain how? Because chromosomes? Fuck outta here pedo apologist. Pussy pass denied

I'll deal with the Witch-hunters.

What was he doing with such an ugly hatchet faced bitch anyway? Is she an actor..how are they admitting bitches like this..too ugly for main roles and not quirky or interesting looking enough for character roles. She had to know she was lucky to be even a makeshift cum receptacle

James Franco is a very average looking guy. I don't anyone who thinks he's hot except for some girls who like that old grad student look. I know he can clean up but he still looks weak and messy. No lashes, hooded eyes, potato nose, rodent teeth and a weiner body. His best feature are the lips for sure. Suck dick and go down James Franco. Cocksuckers are a dime a dozen but pure cocksuckers all have similar psychological traits. You got em. The cocksucker blues.

He looked hot in Spider-Man films

* I don't know

I will never understand women going to the press the way they do, even when they are on good terms with their former mates.

"Gone Girl" got it right when Affleck says his teen girlfriend would never do that. And his lawyer says, "They always do. Don't take it personally." Why?

In a g-string, too bad the director didn't take it away.

Is Franco poz? He totally has poz face at r211.

rose mcgowan‏Verified account @rosemcgowan

James Franco is a cuddly guy, but so are bears. Selectively Deaf Hollywood has heard about this asshole for years. His hipster Prince of Hollywood's bro status protected him. Bros before Ho's, amiright ? .@CriticsChoice

Kathy Griffin‏Verified account @kathygriffin

Just want to throw some support to @allysheedy1. Ally, you should not have to delete your tweets. We don’t have to do that anymore. You didn’t do anything wrong. Ps everyone in this town knows you’re a hard-working great gal and they also know about Franco. #TIMESUP

The FBI investigates begrudgingly giving blow jobs? Really?

Not sure, but I think it is that Violet is claiming she has been threatened (probably on Twitter). Wouldn't be at all surprised if she has been, on the internet.

R283, nothing to see here. Move it along, toots.

The FBI should question James about sex with minors and supporting the sex trade

Why aren't they saying what they've heard/known about him? They've heard WHAT???

I dont think the twitter girl is ugly. She seems to fit his type. She kind of has stoner eyes though.

Happy New Year James

That's what I'm not getting!

They say TheyKnew... so WHY haven't they spoken up about it already?

"We will not be silent" - my arse!

“Which hunk in a summer movie is a violent, closeted homosexual? The heartthrob snuck into his ex's apartment a few months ago and raped him so violently, the ex ended up in the hospital - and the actor paid him $500,000 to keep his mouth shut."

R295, that was also suspected to be Will Smith. Same time last year, people here were saying CDAN's were mostly fiction.

CDaN IS mostly fiction, r296. Fiction, very vague blinds as to a wide net and blinds written from stories that haven't grabbed national media attention, and every so often a real blind...but mostly fiction and plagiarized blinds.

Blind items are always witch hunts.

Kathy Griffin‏ can suck my dick! ugly c()nt

And nowadays, online publications see a tweet and publish it without checking the facts. What R295 posted is a serious charge and if untrue could be slander.

I think that it was 100% wrong for him or anyone to remove dental dams from actresses in his films. If he did that, why? Was it because it was showing up on film? Did the girls become aware that the dental dams were a problem for a LEGITIMATE reason? Did they agree to discard the dental dams and film without them? I think those are the questions we should be asking. If the process for the removal of dental dams was legitimate, and thoughtful, and everyone agreed, then no harm done. If Jimmy went in for a scene where he’s making a decision to remove these dental dams at the spur of the moment, without consulting the actresses, and without having a good reason, then he fucked up. That’s unprofessional behavior, it’s exploitative, and it’s WRONG.

The ex girlfriend’s story about the BJ is a non story. Why is she dragging this crap into this?

As a woman, if I’m sitting in a car with my BF, and he whips out his dick, and I say, “Can we do this later?”, and his reaction is to put his hand on my head, in order to guide my head toward his lap, so that I can suck his dick, and I don’t wanna do it, I’m still going to protest, and say no again.

The ex girlfriend went ahead and did it. She herself justified her decision by saying that she didn’t want him to hate her. Whether or not that is faulty or illogical thinking on her part, I don’t know, only she can say, but she could have just as easily refused as well.

JF wanting and getting a blowjob from a girl he’s dating, who decided to give him a blowjob even though she would have rather not have given him a blowjob at that very instant, is not assault or rape.

How many times through my marriage did my now ex husband ask me for a BJ, and I didn’t feel like it, but I did it anyhow? Answer: probably as many times as when he asked me for a BJ, and I didn’t feel like it, and didn’t give him one. Luckily for him, he didn’t usually have to ask. And by the way, for sure there were times when I wanted something, and he did it just to make me happy.

When people are in a relationship, sometimes one partner will do something for the other partner in order to please them. That is NOT rape. You or he/she can say yes or no whenever you want.

I think Franco is a guy who is not into commitment at all, whatsoever. I think he likes fucking around with as many people as possible, just like he enjoys working on multiple projects, at once. I think that the problems that Franco keeps running into over and over again is that most women aren’t as hedonistic as he is. They want relationships in order to fuck, and he finds himself in these situations where he has to play boyfriend in order to get laid. That’s where these chicks are feeling burned. They thought that hanging out with him for two to 12 weeks means “relationship”, and that’s just not the case.

Franco feels guilty because he knows that he had to kinda play the “maybe this will get serious” part, in order to continue fucking someone he genuinely enjoys fucking and spending time with, but doesn’t want to marry and have babies with.

Franco needs to stop this fucking nonsense with these girls. Just tell EVERYONE from the gate: NO RELATIONSHIP, NO COMMITMENT.

If Franco wants deep solid friendships with women, then don’t fuck the women that he wants those friendships with.

Same goes for the men. Just stop playing fucking head games. He’s almost 40, and way too old for this stupid shit, anyhow.

Didn't the violent rape blind also make it to Gawker though? And they basically just opened comments to allow people to speculate on who it was, then wrote an article saying it was Franco?

R302, Gawker archives are still up. Why don’t you find that and post it here?

Because I assume you also have access to Google and I'm not your assistant

R304 I guess a sandwich is out of the question then?

R304, I know you’re not my assistant, asshole. I also know that you are claiming that a blind item that depicted a violent rape was taken as legit, true story, and printed on Gawker as FACT, and that it was depicting James Franco as a rapist.

I too, read Gawker for ages, pretty much every day, and I don’t recall it like you say you do.

That’s why I asked you to post it. Not because I couldn’t find it myself, fuckwad.

For R304.

Not entirely sure how something can be printed on a website. Perhaps it's that kind of approach to technology that leaves you apparently incapable of googling something for yourself

[QUOTE]Not because I couldn’t find it myself

Then try.

Anyhow, I cannot believe that this bullshit was written by a gay man, and endorsed and championed by Denton, another gay man.

And Denton and the writer continued, making it a monthly joke.

I hate Peter Thiel, but Denton was/is also a scumbag.

Save Gawker went down in flames.

Is Kathy Griffith determined to make every single one of us hate her? Jesus, Christ... when did the Left all become Schoolmarms?

"Time's up, we're coming after you, my little pretty..."

Kathy Griffith jumping on your cause is like... really? You can't find anyone better?

At the end of the day, like Rosie, Kathy will prevail because she was right.

Sad all the ladies and gents who missed peak dirty boy Franco. I bet back then nobody complained.

Yuck. Okay, string him up for that photo alone.

Where is Janes? The FBI has a lot of questions for him and David Geffen.

Janes Addiction?

Link please r320

Franco is SB, Geffen is A+ Lister

SB and fresh meat

Who is PJ and RJ? Who is the A-Lister who died and may have been murdered by A+Lister? Sounds like a bad novel.

One of them is that rocker who died in the hotel bathroom. James went to his funeral. The escort has also been identified but I am too lazy to look her up. Rich Russian socialite madam

Voting for Oscar noms started two days before allegations surfaced. Apparently the first and last days are the heaviest voting days so Franco might get a nom.

Any sign of James?

There is nothing wrong with James Franco's teeth.

R327 apparently voters asked if they can change their votes or not! Hypocrites

Of all the assholes caught up in this, he seems to be one who may likely be forgiven. I hate these assholes, but I wonder if there will be redemption allowed or if they will all be blackballed forever. Liam fucking Neeson is now defending this shit and my heart is broken. Catherine Deneuve, etc. Damn. Maybe I should just forget about ever going to another film or performance. Forget a magazine for entertainment, the asshole photographers were abusing the models. If that's what it takes to get them all the fuck out, I'll do it. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

He will probably have a redemption a few years from now because the accusations are of a lesser nature.

This is not a Hollywood problem R332, so it doesn't matter if you boycott film and print media. Will you go naked because the clothing you wear was probably made in a sweatshop? Stop being a hypocrite.

What needs to change is the overall culture. Which will never fully change because we are ourselves animals. It's in our nature to destroy things. What we need are tougher laws and a reeducation of our overall outlook on ethics.

Sadly, I think he'll survive this, and go on to play repellent douche after repellent douche. Not just because the accusations are of a lesser nature than some, but because everyone already thinks of him as a repellent douche, and the one thing that's a sure career-killer is to show that you're nothing like your image.

Now if men come forward with accusations, things might be different. Because the mainstream isn't as forgiving of bisexual douchery as straight douchery, and Franco needs that mainstream to keep going.

He has been overexposed for a long time. We need a long break.

R332 “Liam fucking Neeson is now defending this shit and my heart is broken. Catherine Deneuve, etc. Damn. Maybe I should just forget about ever going to another film or performance”

Reeeeeeeedreeeeee!

What a fucking sperg. Get over it. People have different opinions

[quote] He has been overexposed for a long time

A-hem he's been working on that! He got off twitter and has been doing quality things like The Duece and that Stephen King series instead of a million projects.

I think he should go back to writing! Quit Hollywood.

FREAKS AND GEEKS ... HIM, ROGEN, JONAH HILL ... ALL TOOLS WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER .... THEY ARE FREAKS AND GEEKS .... AND CREEPS ... THATS WHAT THEY ALWAYS WERE AND THAT'S WHAT THEY ALWAYS WILL BE ... I'M ONE OF THEM, TOO!

If more stories comes out that he was chasing underaged girls, he's done. I suspect there was more stuff happening in his drama classes but he probably paid them all off.

I still can’t get over him asking students to remove their dental dams. Does that mean he licked their vaginas during “acting class”? Perv. He used them to make dirty pornos

R341 It was simulated sex, moron. I bet you have the same mentality as that scumbag who murdered Blaze Bernstein.

Crazy Days and Nights is utter, deplorable nonsense. A while back, there was a story about Bill Clinton having Sam Kinison murdered.

No way ANY of this wacky shit supposedly involved Harmony Korine, James Franco, Chester Bennington, Chris Cornell, and David Geffen finding young brides for men in ISIS (YES, THAT IS WHAT IT REALLY SAYS) turns out to be true. It's all from the imagination of a Trump voter with a really bad coke habit.

[quote] He got off twitter and has been doing quality things like The Duece and that Stephen King series instead of a million projects.

Yes, he needs to lie low and be more picky about his projects, a lot of them are bad quality stuff, bad movies, just plain awful junk. No doubt he'll end up marrying and having a child next year.

And what is the point of doing a simulated sex scene with nudity in an acting school? Seems gratuitous and perverted

I guess he's out of hiding. He's going to the SAG Awards. What power the patron saint social justice warrior of Hollywood, Ashley Judd, wields.

R342, I was posting at another site and someone I became very friendly with told me that he used to write for CDAN. He was just an ordinary guy with no celebrity connections, but he was an excellent and imaginative writer who loved celebrity gossip. He wasn't even from California. He lives in Jersey. Most, but not all of the blind items are made up for entertainment purposes. So, there are a few real ones sprinkled in there.

I'm hoping Woody's firm but concise response to all those idiots denouncing him (especially those who willingly worked with him and then did a bullshit about face -- like Chalomet whom I hope gets sued by the studio involved since he has now stuck them all with a rather tainted product they still have to release) will help guide Franco as to what to do next. He needs to fight back. They all do.

I have a feeling Harvey and Spacey, the two most maligned, are riding it out and then will do a remorse tour as they begin their comeback. Harvey can do it quietly behind the scenes, Kevin will need more one brave soul that will say "fuck you" to the world and give him the chance to deliver a great performance. And then, all will be forgiven. Just watch. Hasn't hurt Woody before, doubt (hope) it won't now.

Poor James :(

James’ team is working hard to keep him in the game. He is allegedly calling old girlfriends to make sure he did not mistreat them. What about his old boyfriends?

[quote] I'm hoping Woody's firm but concise response to all those idiots denouncing him (especially those who willingly worked with him and then did a bullshit about face -- like Chalomet whom I hope gets sued by the studio involved

yeah, sue an actor like Chalomet who probably lives on meager earnings, that's a sure way to look good. Btw, Ronan will be pissed and start interviewing Woody's step-daughters. There are so many pictures of Woody creepily holding them, I think the Asian one turned butch/lesbo.

I would prefer that James Franco stay far away from awards for the next couple of months but I suppose the Aziz controversy took the heat off of him.

If he wins the SAG awards, his response should be short and sweet..... and he should bring his new girlfriend.

Sharon Osbourne thinks James Franco should go to the Oscars 'with his d*ck out.'

The 65-year-old old TV host defended the beleaguered actor — in typically colorful fashion — when asked if he should attend this year's ceremony.

'F*ck off, he's the best. Are you kidding? So what?' she said. 'What has he done? He's done nothing,' she told The Blast.

The 39-year-old, who just won the Best Actor Golden Globe for his turn in The Disaster Artist, was been accused of sexual misconduct by a number of women.

But the wife of Ozzy was not convinced: 'So what if he got his d*ck out in a car? Big deal.'

As for the Academy Awards on March 4, she even suggested: 'He should go with his d*ck out.

What a lame endorsement!

He's taken great pains in hiding his dick in his work, so probably it's no big deal.

James will attend the SAG Awards on Sunday

(CNN)James Franco is not shying away from this weekend's SAG Awards.

A rep for Franco tells CNN that he will attend the awards on Sunday despite the recent accusations of sexual misconduct made against him.

James Franco could still get an Oscar nomination despite sexual misconduct allegations

“Those in the Oscar tea leaf raking game have concluded that chances are pretty good that Mr. Franco’s name will be on the list when Oscar nominees are revealed next week,” the New York Times wrote.

The window for voting opened Jan. 5 and closed Jan. 12, just one day after the Los Angeles Times story ran. The acting nominations are decided by the actor’s branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which has 1,218 members. And it’s likely that many members had already submitted their ballots before the article appeared.

The Los Angeles Times interviewed some voters, who said they regretted voting for Franco and knew it was too late to take the votes back. Others shrugged off the accusations, regarding them as insignificant compared to the multiple accusations or rape, assault and harassment charges leveled against Harvey Weinstein.

“James will still attend the SAG Awards because there is no reason not to,” an insider told Entertainment Tonight. “He will carry on supporting the cause and moving forward.”

Good for him. He did nothing wrong since the women in question knew what they were getting into when they signed their contracts and were paid for their services. The other woman just sounds like a bitter, jilted ex lover who is being vindictive and trying to hurt him. Her tweets show a very angry, unstable, man-hating woman. She did herself no favors by trying to piggyback on the metoo movement with her nonsense.

Yeah, I bet. You know Franco is rueing the day he hooked up with that nutjob. It's a land mine out there, guys. Tread carefully.

The last refuge of someone who doesn't have a case is to point out death threats some insane person on the opposite side of their argument made.

A lot of people are going to keep their distance if he shows up at SAG.

Maybe not. The tide is already turning quite a bit.

Franco will turn to queer roles for a bit after this because he knows we will look past this and continue to support his films.

God knows I will. I even like "King Cobra" (a lot. Guilty pleasure).

James has physucally hurt people - not sure why this is being glossed over

“And then there's the compelling case of James Franco,” Lawson wrote. “Basically the rumor is that Franco dated the guy about two years ago, and still had a key to his house. Guy goes to an Oscars party, comes back and Franco is waiting for him and then awfulness goes down. He's rumored to have been abusive towards an old girlfriend, also an actor, some five years ago. This makes me sad because James Franco is dreamy and oh if he were gay we'd surely be married next spring, but if he's a raper then I don't want anything to do with him and he should be in jail.”

Gawker should have been sued to hell and back for that bullshit blind regarding Franco.

I have NEVER heard of Franco physically abusing anyone, man or woman.

Franco is a very talented man, but I’ve never been a huge fan. If I had ever read or believed that he’d done something where he actually hurt someone, Id have no problem saying so. Hollywood is a small town and shit gets around quickly.

Franco IS an inappropriate jerk. Taking dental dams off of actresses while filming a scene without the prior expressed and signed consent of actresses is wrong, and should be a matter that is legitimately discussed with SAG-AFTRA and the Directors Guild if it happened. No fucking way should that be overlooked or let go. I hope they go after him if that is true.

The rest of the shit coming out about Franco is shit everyone already knows. He’s a HUGE whore and he fucks around with whoever says yes, but I’ve never ever heard that he has raped anyone, or has battered a girlfriend. I do know that he pushed an actress away from him and she fell to the floor while filming. But I’ve never heard anything else about the guy doing this kind of stuff in his personal relationships.

The disaster artist was well made and he deserves a nom. He did a great job.

Okay, Edward Enabler. I would love to hear more from Ally Sheedy

It begins again

Woody's muse? Oh my sides.... these bitches real;y have no clue, do they.

I hate Scarlett Johansson no talent ho

Scarlett Johansson is so repulsed by James Franco she wants her #TimesUp pin back. She wasn't quite so repulsed by child rapist Roman Polanski or Woody Allen, who married his wife's adoptive daughter & whose own adoptive daughter says he abused her at 7.

HARVEY WEINSTEIN waits to chat with SCARLETT JOHANSSON at movie premiere -- 2008

Princess Scarlet is so entitled that she can't even hold her own mic while she pretends to be outraged and metoo'd in the fight for equal rights for women. The woman holding the mic sure doesn't seem equal of Scarlet's, does she? Hypocrite.

He's definitely doing gay interest films for the foreseeable future. No big studio will touch him now, and yet he has so many projects already in post production. Maybe he'll finally date a man publicly.

[quote]Guy goes to an Oscars party, comes back and Franco is waiting for him and then awfulness goes down.

Was this around the time of Annapolis? Fuck, he was so hot back then. He wouldn't have need to rape me, I would have jump his bones and latch onto his dick

It doesn’t have to be he’s right, she’s wrong. James is a predator and Scarlett traded sex for parts.

Dylan to ScarHo: I want my pin back

Dylan, we've listened to you and your Mom for 25 years and you had your day in court. Sorry you were disappointed. Time to let someone else have a turn

Crazy Days and its ilk are bullshit and a waste of time. Why ,bother with that crap.

"Scarlett traded sex for parts"...BUT SHE'S OUTRAGED!!! DON'T YOU GET IT?!!! THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS!!! MAKE SURE A CAMERA IS ON HER!!!

Someone besides POTUS has not been paying attention.

Trust me, 99% of the country's men are looking the other way. Even if they are staring at the TV, they are thinking about dry cleaning or the game on another channel. Kid yourself otherwise if you like but nobody cares, not even a lot of women.

Have you seen pictures of the record-breaking rallies this weekend? Look the other way if you want. That is your choice but you the fool for your closed, dismissive attitude.

[quote]I have NEVER heard of Franco physically abusing anyone, man or woman.

So you skipped over the link above of Busy Phillips talking about how he'd get rough with her on set because they couldn't stand each other?

Nobody. Cares, R384. Except the bored attention whores participating. I happily watched "I, Tonya" instead.

I don't think "nobody" means what you think it does.

I'll be thinking of you and all your fellow marchers tonight when Franco wins. Should be fun.

Or even if Oldman the abuser wins. THAT'S how much people care.

I thought you said these were Just "celebrities" who didn't matter.

"Celebrities" in quotes? Where you seeing that? Are you hearing voices? Like Joan of Arc?

Anyway, I love how ScarJo is suddenly "woke", easy to do when you've long cashed the checks for not one, not two, but THREE performances in films by one of the main targets of the movement. Guess sje regrets it, huh. Odd how that conveniently works. She gets to have her three well-written leading role parts written by one of the masters -- and still call out Franco too, as if hoping nobody remembers "Scoop". She might be right on that one.

So has anyone spot Franco?

His "acting class" ran late.

He'll have to wipe his chin on the walk in.

Did he skip the SAGs? More victims are about to speak out including men

ScarJo made a movie with Woody Allen and she's busting on James Franco? She needs to go away.

Three, R395. She was his main muse for a long while there. and you're right, she has a lot of fucking nerve.

Amid the sexual misconduct claims made against him, James Franco attended the #SAGAwards after skipping the red carpet

"Not everything that’s been reported has been accurate." Alison Brie Stands by James Franco at SAG Awards

R395, some of us have said that for a long time.

Alison Brie looks like Lisa Edelstein in r398

Weasel

[quote]"Not everything that’s been reported has been accurate." Alison Brie Stands by James Franco at SAG Awards

Was she there during all the incidents that he's being accused of? That's as bad as someone denying Dylan's truth!

Even if every single Franco charge was 100% true, it still wouldn't be enough to merit ending his career. A pressured blowjob in the middle of a consensual relationship and even the removal of a half inch piece of fabric in a movie scene are not particularly shocking. Even the Ally Sheedy thing sounds more like her having a typical nutty freakout mid-consensual exchange when someone walked in on it. And the idiot complaining about her $100 contractural nude scene, oy....

If you fuckers got more on him, it better show up soon and it better be genuinely horrible or I am going to stop listening. As is, we are getting into The Perils of Breeder Dating and it is so tired and puritan and, yes, stupid as shit.

[quote]A pressured blowjob in the middle of a consensual relationship

Exactly!

Ally Sheedy has not publicly shared her experience so why are you assuming it’s nothing? He’s a violent creep who has sex with minors

I used to work with this really great guy - super nice and everyone we worked with liked him. He started going out with a woman in my department and after a short while they broke up. She said it was because he was abusive, but no-one believed her. Years later he boasts about finding a drunk and vulnerable woman in town, then taking her home and fucking her before she had time to sober up.

I felt like shit after that. Maybe the Franco supporters will feel like shit soon too.

He gets a semi-pass simply because he's "James Franco."

I don’t think anyone is denying Franco could possibly be an abuser it’s just none of the accusations seems awful or forced. It’s all girls submitting to a horndog because he is a famous actor.

There's a great story in Robert Evans' book about when he was down and out, post a cocaine bust/murder accusation (false) and nobody will touch him -- but his friend Jack Nicholson calls him and tells him he will be his date that year for the Oscars. Evans fights it but Nicholson insists and unapologetically says "fuck you" to anyone who doesn't like it. They have a blast and it begins Evans' comeback. The sheep of Hollywood suddenly get friendlier with Nicholson's (at the time powerful) endorsement.

That's what will happen with Franco and, I hope, even Spacey. A few ballsy friends will stand up to the self-righteous mobs and take a chance on them and all will be fine. It does happen as Evans proved. Well, I hope it still happens.

[quote] Ally Sheedy has not publicly shared her experience

I don't think there is one. She was ranting on twitter and had heard what other people heard. No?

No, he abused Ally when they were together. Not sure if he paid her off like his other victims. Why are people making excuses for Franco and now Spacey?

Pretty sure much of defending of the indefensible is anxiety from individuals who know they have their own shitty behavior to answer for They want to render this movement powerless before it reveals their despicable actions they are accused or at the very least dismiss it so they don't have to face the creep in the mirror every morning.

According to Franco, they had a great time while he was directing her in a play (not that they were ever "together", sheesh). Another source tells of walking in on her down on her knees blowing him and then her darting off freaked out -- which some interpret as being forced and escaping but could just as easily being freaked out at being walked in on.

And right on cue, at R412, the "if you present another side, you're a pedo yourself" troll. Does this cunt have an alert or something that brings her to every thread when it is mentioned?

Any Director who has sex with his cast should be fired the same way any manager having sex with a person they supervise. Never get off at work or with people you work with. And if you have sex with someone who you supervise expect your life to destroyed.

If things are cool with Ally, why won’t he talk to her? I am sure she has a story to tell

R411, R412: he did NOTHING wrong. You angst filled frauen are exhausting. The man NEVER raped anyone. That was a bullshit blind from Gawker.

If his then girlfriend didn’t wanna blow him in the car, she should have said so and gotten out, instead of changing her mind and doing it.

Ally Sheedy is pissed off that after fucking around with Franco, he decided once was enough, and didn’t want to pursue more.

If he removed dental dams from actress and they became upset as a result, then this women specifically need to come forward and make a public statement, which as of now, they have not.

You cunts have a real hard on for every man in sight. I am personally not a Franco defender, but I’m beginning to really pick up on this no holds bar mob mentality of pinning everyone to the cross, even if it isn’t quite clear why, even if it’s based on conjecture and innuendo.

I don’t like that. I think that’s the mentality and behavior of hysterical loons who have an axe to grind or who want attention.

I’m not willing to throw every fucking man under the bus here, and I say that as a woman.

Some of you sound unhinged and have really lost perspective. Weinstein and Spacey and others out there are predators and deserve their vilification, especially if they were using their jobs as a way of manipulating others. But the only thing I see with Franco is a man who likes to get laid a lot by people he works with, or his students. If he came on to a 17 year old in NYC, he did nothing illegal. The age of consent is 17 in the state of NY. Just because you don’t like a 30 something year old man with a 17 year old, it doesn’t make him worthy of losing his career.

This really is turning into a witch hunt, and I am disappointed in the women who are willing to rail against a guy who isn’t an actual danger to them.

No one is making excuses for Franco R411, but none of the allegations have been proven. The only thing we all know for certain is that he was in a consensual, sexual relationship with of the women and all the others willingly signed a contract and were paid the agreed amount for a job they applied for.

The women at the school have already come forward

Working in Hollywood is a privilege, not a right. The main job of a Hollywood celebrity is to be likable. This is not a lot to ask as most of them aren't particularly talented or distinguished.

If a celebrity can't achieve or sustain likable, the public will probably turn against them. That's not a tragedy. It's just a failure on the part of the celebrity.

None of the women in the scene where he allegedly removed their dental dams have said anything. Other women who claim to have heard of it that are also students at the school have discussed this but not the actual actresses who this happened to.

If Ally Sheedy is on her knees blowing Franco, SO WHAT???

These women are upset that Franco didn’t want marriage and babies. Get over it. He’s a fucking actor and this is what people in Hollywood do when they’re young and good looking. They run around fucking each other until one day, they decide to settle down, or not!

Don’t believe me? Ask my brother.

R416 What a passionate and articulate defense of an educated, wealthy, white male celebrity who pays a team of people to manage his career. What is your stake in his celebrity? Why the need to defend someone who is more than capable of defending himself and has chosen to make such a tepid effort?

You seem to basing your “facts” on blind items. Maybe he is a creep who has sex with even younger than 17. His whole vibe is douche

But what a cute douche that is. Especially in "Milk" (for which he also should have been nominated).

R421, I can conversely ask the same of ? Why are you so invested in bringing a man down whose biggest crime is being a douchebag that you wouldn’t look twice at?

I was all in for Harvey. I know Spacey is a predator too. Both of these cunts are vile. But what has Franco done? Some girl gave him a blowjob in a car, and Ally gave him a blowjob at the theater. The guy is a sleazebag who cannot commit and wants to fuck everything that moves. That my dear, doesn’t make him a rapist.

When it’s rape, it is rape, and when it’s not, it’s not.

That is a really embarrassing thing to post. If you don't see the spectrum frominappropriate, sexual harassment, sexual assault to rape, none of which are ok, you are the reason we need to be having these conversations.

R421 I am very invested in holding the priveleged, wealthy, educated, connected and powerful accountable for how they treat people without those advantages. There is so much abuse that goes unrecognized and unanswered for that when an incident finds light it is complicity and appeasement to allow cynicism and comfort prevent us from examining it to its fullest.

If you don't see the difference between a rape victim and a disgruntled girlfriend angry over some perceived slight in retrospect, you too are a huge part of the problem.

Franco has much more than that one incident to answer for and I'm not aware of any women accusing him of rape yet. I'm sorry you see it as either he's a rapist or he's innocent.

Director's having even consensual sex with their cast is inappropriate enough for me to never want to work with someone with such poor professional boundaries. I wouldn't tolerate it at Apple. I wouldn't tolerate it in a doctor, I wouldn't tolerate it at a Wal-mart. Why would I tolerate in a business that has literally hundreds of quality applicants waiting to be hired.

R429, have you ever gone out on a date with someone you worked with? Just a date. No physical contact, no sex. Just dinner or a movie.

No, I would never doing anything that wasn't a group activity outside of work. Too many options in the world to risk tainting employment you value for romance.

It's called boundaries. It's disrespectful to your employer. It's disrespectful to your co-worker, It's disrespectful to yourself. It would be like entertaining the idea of incest. It's not even an option.

Him simulating sex with acting students is 100 percent wrong. If he dated these actresses, then it’s even worse. No other industry supports that kind of lecherous behavior

The classroom charges are absolutely wrong and unethical. Not illegal I’m sure. It’s up to industry to change.

These prudish threads remind me of Dianne Wiest in "Hannah" saying to Woody, "It's like I'm dating Cardinal Cook." Seriously, some of you haven't lived.

I lost my virginity to my boss at my request and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Two sane consenting adults and no problems afterwards. Wouldn't change it for the world. So glad I grew up in the era when I did. And, yep, it was the movie business.

So that's the professional standard you want to assert for multi-million dollar companies and productions?

No, I want us all to be prudes sitting three feet apart. As opposed to responsible sane human beings with the power to make our own decisions, yes or no.

R437, you've told that story multiple times. Is your experience supposed to invalidate other people's experiences?

Also, it's two men you are talking about, right? So, culturally you were equals and there was no way but up for you no matter what you chose to do or not do with your boss.

I guess you considered all your co-workers to be "prudes".

No because my co-workers, all guys, all knew about it and were very sweet and encouraging. And, yes, maybe the two guy thing made a huge difference. But it was still my boss -- and my friend. Still is.

It doesn't have to all be sordid. And it definitely doesn't have to all be a crime. Mine sure as shit wasn't.

It would probably never happen now, due to this legal shit -- but thank god it happened then. I'd have hated to miss out on it just because of political correct bullshit and fear.

R439, that was YOUR experience. YOURS. Other people have their own experiences. Your experience isn't relevant to their experience. You sound very self-centered.

A workplace run in the way that you are cooing about benefits very few people. Try to imagine if the boss didn't consider you worthy of a fuck but instead found your co-worker to be doable.

On second thought, don't worry about it.

So, was this just a bunch of white guys in their own little universe?

"Look at ME! I was reckless and unprofessional and got away with it. Don't you wish you were ME!"

"Don't you want Franco to be as happy as ME?"

Yep. Their entitled rich white men who abuse women positions of power

Seriously... didn't this use to be a gay website? What the fuck happened?

"LOOK AT ME! I'm an adult male responsible for my own decisions and I don't play powerless puppy later and blame others for my actions."

I guess I really am from another era.

[quote] Seriously... didn't this use to be a white gay website? What the fuck happened?

[quote] I guess I really am from another era.

There is something seriously wrong with some of you people. Please stay away from L.A. (not that you'll ever get near the movie business, except on the Universal Tour).

R449, we know. You're part of the gatekeeping system that keeps the number of non-whites and females in Hollywood very low, R449.

[quote]No one is making excuses for Franco [R411], but none of the allegations have been proven.

Neither were mine, but it's my truth, asshole!

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

First, you NEVER ask an actress to take off underwear unless you are doing porn. If these were students in his class it is extremely perverted

Two, no one knows the extent of his misdeeds. Even his beard sister in law admitted they are waiting for more allegations

George Lucas made Carrie Fisher take of her underwear because there was no underwear in space. String him up!

Some of you live in very black and white worlds.

Well that was unnecessarily illuminating.

You people need to wake up. These were porno films Janes was making for him and his friends. They are not part of any official release. They abused the students and then closed the school. He is a creep

Closed the school? I thought those classes were affiliated with actual colleges.

Oh God no, not affiliated with any college. It always was shady

Studio 4 was created to provide a place for students to be grounded in acting and focus on performance while not having to be tied up with additional school requirements.

Or wear clothes

His classes with actual universities have had zero complaints apparently.

His teaching at actual universities gave him a sheen of respectability which he then used to dupe the students at his acting schools. He didn't dare pull the Hollywood-type crap at the unis.

So he should be banned from instructing. Done and over.

This argument is beyond stupid. These women weren't forced to take off their clothes and perform simulated sex. They could have told him no and walked away, but they didn't. They had free will and made the choice to go along with him. And no way were they afraid of him blackballing them in the industry. He barely had any power himself. At that time, no one took him seriously. He was basically a nobody who was known as that guy from Freaks and Geeks.

R465, I agree to some degree, but still what a pervy move. Especially because he knew he could coerce his students given they had already invested their time and money into this classes. It is not ethical any way you look at it.

Educate yourself

I read the article again. It's good at least the writers talked to a dozen people who felt good about the school. The power differential is major. It's hard if you're a student in a profession like this. On one hand you're one of 50 (or millions) of people in the exact same boat, on the other you think somehow you are the one who's going to become a movie star!!! He might have wanted to teach but also to have a big team or a crowd of disciples to work on things with him. A slippery slope to a groupie farm basically. It sounds like he pushed to hard and forgot experience levels and boundaries. That Tither-Kaplan person he could apologize to...though she said herself on twitter she doesn't hate him.

I really really don't know why I'm defending him. In his Seth Myers interview he said the right thing about supporting the cause and demurred about inaccuracies. I think he could go a step farther if he wanted. It wouldn't have to be a gesture like Wahlberg's. This is a conversation about what's going on in Hollywood. As absurd as it could be to see multi-millionaire performers swan around on this topic having risked nothing for it in their own lives up to this point. I have no idea how this works but I could see a donation or time commitment to the cause and he could also remind us that he explores sexuality in a lot of his projects (is he doing anything where he doesn't show his butt?) but he hopes to support better parts for women.

James Franco Snubbed for Oscar Nomination Amid Sexual Misconduct Claims

Maybe it's just as well. He got his Golden Globe

Pop goes the weasel

Pussy brings down another one. Historically he's in good company but come on... this shit sucks.

I saw that interview yesterday, [R471]; thanks for posting it here!

That was the interview that convinced me there’s no real there there with these Franco allegations/stories.

Those women sounded ridiculous and like they were putting a *huge* effort in to seem tearful and ridiculous—over what was basically nothing.

Wow, he once sent one text to his personal assistant of 3-5 years callling her “retarded”?!😮 So major! Alert all women about James Franco!

So they all knew that they could have said no to him, but they didn't....and that makes Franco guilty of sexual assault? And , OMG!, he used the word retard. What an abusive monster. Those cows are ridiculous and should be ashamed of themselves. They're doing the #metoo movement no favors.

I am so fucking over these twits. This is war. It was bad enough with Casey Affleck last year but now they really fucked over someone needlessly. And a career is ruined (for now only, I hope).

He should not lose his career over this ridiculousness.

I’d love to see all the text messages of the industry people who want him “thrown out of Hollywood”...

I don't like this dude and I didn't see his movie, but if he won the Golden Globe and was nominated for a SAG, I'm guessing it was a performance worthy of an Oscar nomination and he was left out only on account of these allegations. He should be nominated if his performance warrants it. Maybe if he was actually charged with a crime it would be different, but come on.

Relax. James is big boy and if Robert Downy and Mel Gibson can have comebacks, James will too if he wants one. James has been reckless with his career and he made an easy target. He'll be fine if really hasn't done anything despicable. The truth will come out.

I was very disappointed to read the crap Kaiser printed on Celebitchy. She claims other stories are coming out, but that news outlets are sitting on the story, because they were waiting to see if he got nom. What that indicates to me is that these stories are more of the same bullshit stories about him, and are only valuable if he got nominated. If these stories were really painting a picture of a horrible man, they would come out regardless, and hold up on their own.

Just another campaign to take someone out. It’s gross.

Who benefited the most from Franco Snub? Denzel!

Here's a Huff Po Queer Voices piece. I think he could do a little better than denials.

He can hide in me if he likes.

I would be seriously written up if I called someone on my staff a bitch or retarded. The part that is true is that James has two personalities - nice or mean.

I’m not getting on the Franco train. Nope. This is bullshit.

I hope he bounces back from this. He’s a genuine talent, and we don’t have too much of that in the US lately.

Lost me at "genuine talent"

Have you even seen the fucking movie? A true oddball visionary and all that brought him down was pussy.

Pup Quiz with Kendall Jenner and James Franco

He will be fine - unless more victims come forward

And we use the word "victims" beyond loosely.

When the ex girlfriend of Franco, the one who started all this, tweets that when she meets a man, the first thing she thinks of are ways to destroy his life; is there any doubt what her motivation was when she accused James of sexual assault?

Way to pick 'em, James. Nobody who makes as many bad choices as Franco could have a career unless they are white, good-looking and connected.

I wish people would stop referring to her as his ex girlfriend. Ex fuck buddy in reality

The misogynist myth of the psycho ex-girlfriend.

"Bitches be crazy" but never "Pricks be reckless"

Seriously? You think there's nothing "psycho" about that quote about wanting to destroy men's lives? On Twitter and written by herself? You better stick to myths, lady, because you have no clue about reality.

Nobody is going to take that quote as anything but a joke at first but when she does in fact try to ruin someone’s life, then she cedes the benefit of the doubt.

Even if she were some conniving psycho, if James is too stupid after this long as a celebrity to protect himself from public, he gets no sympathy from me. Just another narcissist taken down by his own foolishness.

That part is true and he better own it and stay away from the future psychos. An expensive lesson this was, cost him an Oscar potentially and that doesn't happen every day.

Hmm, now we know that James has really been a skank for years just like a gay man. He never seems to have relationships and is always on the prowl. Definitely bisexual. The new young girlfriend only showed up after the school closed. Has Kathy Griffin done a video on him? She said it was common knowledge that he was an abuser and then provided no other information

Hollywood has fallen for accused rapist Kobe Bryant's blatant image branding and taint the Oscars with a very crappy short

#TimesUp

I don't think Franco is a physical abuser, probably more verbal or emotional abuser. Women throw themselves at him, he uses them and dumps them and that's why they're pissed at him. He's a major player.

I don't know why he did all those gay projects. It was like a charade and a joke to him,, gay-baiting to hide the fact he was actually chasing young girls and using women as receptacles to his peen.

I think Franco is bi

scarlett is a harvey girl and best not be dissin our james.

james we adore u and hope the 2nd season of Deuce will contain lots of ur hot body nekkid.

brilliant show!

ur fans, us.

James was digitally removed from the Vanity Fair Hollywood cover. Pariah of moment

He has had sexual relationships with men but has never admitted it. I have heard he is very unhappy about what has come out and is worried that more will come out

Can KING COBRA be digitally removed from existence next?

I liked King Cobra

What happened to innocent until proven guilty? These allegations are just that. Allegations made by a disgruntled ex-girlfriend who hates men and 3 women who signed consent forms to appear nude and act out sex scenes for which they got paid. This is really unbelievable. I really feel bad for James. He did nothing wrong.

James knows he did plenty wrong. Let him manage his own career.

I dont think he did jack that is prosecutable.

I am not sure if prosecutable should be the standard. No one, for example, is prosecuting Harvey Weinstein. For James, it’s more of a public realization that he is a creep who mistreated women and men

Nobody did. Where are all those ironclad rape charges against Harvey? Anyone? Still crickets? Those crickets are getting old and tired.

Not ONE charge that can be prosecuted against Harvey? "Gossip Girl" guy? Not even the stunt man on "True Lies"? Hmmmm...

It is MOST DEFINITELY the standard. Without prosecutions - failed or successful, our society will be run by NPD borderlines like this freak:

This is about professional behavior not criminal although it's clear some of these creeps crossed over to criminal.i.e. Dr. Nasser.

Another overrated under-talented Jew.

Pic: James Franco was digitally removed from the cover of Vanity Fair's 'Hollywood' issue

"digitally removed" seemed redundant when everyone is digitally put in, as well.

I wonder if they know more about him? It really makes a powerful statement to take him off a cover like that. Some stars blew Harvey but are not being blackballed

The first male Kathy Griffin? I cannot even tell you the stories that are going to drop

R518 bullshit. He did nothing wrong. Moron.

R515 can't tell us because their are not stories.

Oh, dear for r520: "can't tell us because their are not stories."

R255, consent is consent. Silence can mean a lot of things. It does not mean consent.

Creep

He's a creep because he was upset over being removed from the cover of a magazine? You're a fucking idiot.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,or in this case, a crazy bitch who got dumped.

Judd Apatow is a flaming hypocrite, going after Woody Allen.

The "Hell hath..." was pretty distasteful when used in response to the accusers of Dr. Nasser -- but it does apply here. What sucks is that it WORKED. One vengeful bitch cost Franco so much. Be careful out there, guys. Lots of land mines, especially in L.A.

One? I count four that we know about.

One nutcase and three other nutcase aspiring actresses. The worst vermin on the planet.

That Daily Mail piece is so staged

Right - James wants to run over and get on top of that almost naked body, but he knows he can’t and has to hide his true impulses to hunt

He takes a photo op with girlfriend and her parents, only to be seen ogling a half-naked girl on the beach. Way to go, somewhat backfires on him.

yes, its true, he is a mean man and beats both men and women.

still,

ide suck his asshole out thru a barb wire fence if i could....

Erasures.

Are you a public figure? A celebrity?

Well then, get smart. Check IDs and have consent forms signed before getting into a relationship, or before having sex.

And no, I’m not Bryan Singer.

It’s too bad Ally can’t talk about how he roughed her up. Kharmony did the same thing to MS. It’s a major red flag that James won’t talk Ally and she is radio silent

Maybe Ally will write about it in her memoir.

Speaking of Enty blind items, he had one that was revealed to be Ally Sheedy grooming and supplying Bryan Singer with the young meat he likes. So she may not be so pure herself.

ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 02/02 **#8** Stood Around And Laughed: A few years back there was a movie made starring a group of women who were all probably equal status in the movie. There was also an A- list mostly movie actor involved. He got involved simply because he knew the director and knew the movie would be filled with teen actresses. The group of women were probably all A-/B+ list actresses who all of you know. They stood around and laughed while the teen actresses and walk ons were subjected to constant sexual harassment and groping by the actor and director. If the extra allowed it she would get a walk on role. If she had sex with one of them she would get a speaking part. The actor and the director were like kids in a candy store. The wife of the director was around but didn't say anything either because that is how she got her start and said it was just the way things were and if the extras and walk ons didn't want to do it, they could leave. A few of those extras are speaking out and really calling out the group of A-/B+ list actresses who didn't care because it wasn't happening to them and never said anything. They would encourage the actor and director by laughing and clapping when some random actress would have her top ripped off or groped from behind when she wasn't expecting it. Movie: "Spring Breakers" Director: Harmony Korine (Rachel) Actor: James Franco A-/B+ actresses: Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson & Heather Morris

SJP should cast James in the new Sex and the City film, since Kim C doesn't want her condolences or casting opportunities..

SATC needs a POC trans woman main character for the next one

Bill Maher made a joke about James picking up teenagers. When Geffen goes down, so will James

148. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 02/10 **#2** This A list mostly movie actor from an acting family is going to quickly drop to B+ list with no one willing to hire him. It is going to get even worse when the new accusations hit against him. He will go really deep into hiding. James Franco

Well, he had a good run--nearly 20 years as a successful actor.

At the age of 40, he'll settle down, have children and return years later, remake his image.

r547 He'd better hurry up. He turns 40 in April.

I think he is over. HBO is sticking by him but there is allegedly a big new expose coming out about James with more accusers - male and female. He is a full on sexual predator

^ Source?

Where's James now? Did he come out from hiding yet?

Filming the deuce, part douche.

He wanted to go to the Oscars but he was talked out of it by his reps. He bought off everyone including the ex-boyfriend that he raped

r553 so, no second exposé, eh?

Apparently at least one man is set to come forward to describe a sexual assault at the hands of this A- list mostly movie actor who is doing television right now. The A- list actor is mostly closeted when it comes to his hookups with men, although he has never outright denied being with men. The thing about this particular assault is it was recorded by the actor. It s unknown if the recording still exists, but it was recorded. James Franco (The Deuce")

Bull fuckin' shit. James Franco never raped anyone, man or woman. Stop with the insane, Trump loving CDAN bullshit. The thing that R555 is saying about someone coming forward isn't going to happen because it's not true. Come back to this space in six months, nothing. A year, nothing. Ten years nothing. That's the thing about these absurd, retarded blinds. No one ever remembers to call them out when they're dead wrong, and CDAN's always are, except when they do blinds that are shit that everyone already knows. The ignoramuses in the comments section of that blog or unbelievable. It almost, almost makes me understand how Trump won.

The Franco story was overblown and basically meaningless.

Whatever James. We know what you and Geffen did.

James turns 40 today!

The Douche threw Busy to the ground:

His career really did just disappear. He’s totally fallen off everyone’s radar.
