Charlyne Yi Says She Tried to Quit 'The Disaster Artist,' Accuses James Franco of Preying on Children

Charlyne Yi is speaking out against James Franco and Seth Rogen in a new post about how she tried to quit the movie The Disaster Artist.

The 35-year-old actress got her big break in Seth‘s 2007 movie Knocked Up and he was one of the producers on The Disaster Artist, in which she played the role Safoya.

In an Instagram post on Thursday (April 8), Charlyne accused James of being a sexual predator with a “long history of preying on children.” She also accused Seth of being one of his enablers.

“When I tried to break legal contract & quit Disaster Artist because James Franco is a sexual predator, they tried to bribe me with a bigger acting role. I cried and told them that that was the exact opposite of what I wanted, that I didn’t feel safe working with a f–king sexual predator,” Charlyne wrote in her post. “They minimized & said Franco being a predator was so last year and that he changed… when I literally heard of him abusing new women that week.”

She continued, “Predators will perform empathy, gaslight, & say they will do better — all in order to protect themselves and continue to harm others. Enablers are just as toxic and are abusers too. Disgusted by white men choosing power over protecting children and women from predators. Educate, organize, and dismantle corruption in your circles and in the law.”

“White men saying it’s not their responsibility when holding Franco accountable, or when holding Seth Rogen and enablers accountable. Then whose responsibility is it? The women and children who have PTSD from Franco? Or the future targets of abuse? White men perform infantalism when it comes to sacrificing their white supremacy & patriarchy because they actually don’t give a f–k,” Charlyne concluded the text in the photo section of the post.

Charlyne also wrote a lot more in the caption. Keep reading below...

In the caption of her post, she wrote, “Seth Rogen was one of the producers on this film so he definitely knows about the bribe and why I quit. Seth also did a sketch on SNL with Franco enabling Franco preying on children. Right after Franco was caught.”

“Franco has a long history of preying on children. This is on top all the corrupt laws that protect predators made by violent white men,” she said. “Denying/gaslighting is a tactic that abusers and enablers use that is psychological violence, & has serious affects: the survivor loses sense of reality/intuition to protect self from targeted again, PTSD, suicidal thoughts, etc. This month is Sexual Assault Awareness Month when it should really be something men educate themselves about their whole life and learn how to be there & protect women, nonbinary, trans, etc—who are targeted.”

A few years ago, Charlyne talked publicly about a racist encounter she had with a famous actor.

Guven your comment suggests you probably only know him from Planet Of The Apes, it might help if you review his credits as a writer, director and producer on IMDB. He’s incredibly prolific. No Hollywood star of his level in HISTORY has ever dared to produce what he has done in terms of tearing up the sexual rule book. Including in his readiness to deal with homosexuality. But exactly because his personal projects ARE challenging, and troubling, and make people uncomfortable, is why they’re mostly ignored. I don’t much like it, but I most definitely respect it. And him.

A woman posted the following response over at Onion AV.

"A 32-33 yo woman went to producers to try to get out of a legal contract because she didn’t want to work with or was afraid of the director and headliner of the movie AND CRIED.

This was immature, silly and woman-specific manipulative and it sets back all our efforts to be seen as serious professionals. Not to mention that this is the second time that she’s been cowardly in the moment then suddenly found her voice YEARS later when a hashtag made its way to social media (#AAPI violence) - AFTER braver women have done the heavy lifting of being first (#MeToo). She squeakily piled-on with David Cross 10 YEARS after he said something stupid to her too.

She’s not brave, she’s not conscientious, she’s an opportunist who wants relevancy and virtue laurels. We can believe in the cause(s) without highlighting every whacko’s two cents?"

Amen. "Franco has a long history of preying on children." No, he fucking doesn't. He propositioned one 17 year old, unaware of her age. That's not a "long history of preying on children." Enough of this bullshit. Franco liked to fuck, and attempted to set up situations that would make that possible. Like every single other young actor who's ever been successful. I've never seen any stories of him being abusive or engaging in nonconsensual sex. Or "preying of children."

I think her accusations would have more weight if they weren't so preachy and trying to lecture people on racial and gender topics. She can't just state what exactly Franco did and who he hurt without all the mumbo jumbo? And why didn't she go to the police if she saw/heard he was preying on children? I'm tired of people using something as horrific as sexual abuse as a way to promote themselves on social media. If Franco committed crimes then the evidence needs to come up that he did so. That way an investigation can be done.

My issue is if she knew about this for years then why did she do nothing until now? Is your career more important than stopping a serial sexual abuser? I really doubt Franco or Rogen have the same amount of power as Weinstein or Cosby. Look at how easy it was for Franco to get blackballed.

She also accused Marilyn Manson of being abusive to her too and a couple of others.

I want to believe the victims but so many people in this are so shady even the female accusers of Franco seemed more motivated by money as they never were coerced to film themselves in the nude or sleep with Franco.

by Anonymousreply 157April 11, 2021 2:29 PM

I am glad she is calling this out. If the students who sued Franco had been males instead of females, he would have been forced into hiding and his name would be synonymous with “pedophelia”.

by Anonymousreply 158April 11, 2021 2:31 PM

R158 no. It wouldn't be taken seriously if the victims were males and it wouldn't even make the news. The women signed on to take erotic film classes and claimed they felt uncomfortable doing it and painted it as Franco sexually abusing them. But the issue is they consented to be filmed nude and there's no evidence he forced them to have sex with him. If these were young men who said the same thing then this would be laughed at and the replies would be "dude, you signed up to be naked. What did you expect? "

R160, he wasn’t canceled merely for what happened to Anthony Rapp. Spacey was a serial offender. If behind the scenes gossip of his behavior had not been ongoing, Rapp most likely never would have spoken out,

by Anonymousreply 164April 11, 2021 2:55 PM

R164, “serial abuser”= acting the same way any other single man in his position acts with women. He hit on some guys that were not interested. That’s what 99% of the allegations actually were. The press presented the allegations as if all or most were minors or were serious sexual assaults. Never would have happened to a heterosexual in Spaceys position and the public never would have bought into it so easily.

R161, Spacey never taught acting classes to 14 year olds. And that’s an anonymous unprovable assertion. If the “victim” had been a female making an outrageous allegation like that it never would have been printed

[quote]He first met Spacey in 1981, when the actor was a guest teacher at a weekend acting class he took in Westchester County; he was then a 12-year-old student. Spacey was 22 and working in the New York theater scene. They met again by chance in line at Shakespeare in the Park in 1983, when the student was 14 years old; Spacey had made his Broadway debut in Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts the year prior. After that meeting, he says, Spacey gave him his phone number, and the two began a sexual relationship.

I really don't know how they can act like they're such victims of Franco and demand pity from the public if they are claiming that actual children harmed by him.

He was a perv to you guys and you rejected him. Fine. But if you knew he was molesting underage girls. Then why didn't you say anything when you first became aware? They both seem unaware of how narcissistic they come across and I can't feel pity if they are equating their harassment with actual child sex abuse.
