"Seth Rogen has 'no plans' to work with James Franco following abuse allegations"

So much jealousy in show business!

It sure took Seth a long time to throw James under the bus. It's almost as if he waited to see if Franco's cancellation would stick.

Seeing as how Franco isn’t nearly as big of a star as he used to be, I find this pointless.

How long before something is found out about Seth Rogan and he gets cancelled?

And maybe Seth Rogen too

I can't see anything wrong with that joke.

Ummm didn’t Seth participate too?!

Seth plans to get more work?

Clearly, Seth knows that there's stuff out there about him that might come out. He's proactively throwing the long-ago-disgraced Franco under the bus as a sacrificial offering to appease the cancellation gods.

Franco's collapse is complete!

I liked in Pineapple Express when Seth grabbed James' balls through his underwear and said to the crew: "I just got to second base."

Who knows where this is headed. But that article is clickbait. The headline and Seth’s statements are different. And Seth is giving “legalese” speak.

All this, and that Yi person is still an entitled, garbage-brained, toxic nightmare. When will the madness end?

This is weird that it’s coming so late. I guess he had to pay the accuser another bribe.

James and Armie are OVAH!

"While I'm very happy for all the underage pussy he snagged for me, I have moved forward anda m now snubbing my cohort in hiring prostitutes."

hoes before bros

You know things are bad when one of your “best friends” throws you under the bus in press

This all PR. He doesn’t say anything about the validity of the accusations. He condemns such behavior without saying Franco is actually guilty of it. They are no doubt still friends, but are not currently collaborating.

They are both smarmy and gross.

R15 I'm wondering WHY it's coming so late.

Because, as a stoner, he forgot.

Zzzzz...

at least Seth has the income from that hair growing lotion to fall back on.

I kind of doubt they are friends anymore. James is no longer viable in show business.

This shit is why trans women are so popular.

Instead of James, Seth should just work with his hotter younger brother Dave.

R27 ...who is a complete bore.

R28

At least Seth looks like he takes a shower now and then.

Dave is funnier and now looks better than James. So he has that going for him. James should just move back to his parent's house and enjoy his money for a while. He was overexposed in the early 2010s, acted like an idiot and Hollywood turned on him. I'm still not convinced he's this evil serial rapist. More just a horny moron who schemed some ways to get laid and it backfired on him. He could just apologize publicly though at this point, I doubt it would save his career atm. In 5 years, everyone will forget about this and James will plan a comeback of sorts.

Is James white?

Seth reminds me of one of these.

People will forget James is rapey? I doubt it. He’ll never be the lead in a movie again. He would be lucky to get a small part on a TV show.

Why does James always look so dirty?

Well, Seth is quite the fair weather friend isn’t he.

This is all PR. They're still friends.

James is innocent, of course. How can anyone believe that the bitches at r17 wanted anything other than fame and a big check? Lol

I'm just happy that Sarah Tither-Kaplan will never have a career. Lying scammer whore. That's what you get for being actual human garbage. Bitch is a thug.

^Thanks for stopping by, James.

Seems pretty convenient to say this now that their careers have peaked and they probably don't have anymore hit movies in them.

Watch the video, bitch. These women are not fooling anyone with two working neurons.

People are not having it in the comments. Lol Only twitter believe these bitches.

No one deserved their eventual fall from grace more than James Franco.

Not even Trump? Franco worse than Trump. A joke.

[quote] People are not having it in the comments.

Would those be the comments that are turned off?

R41 other than being annoying and smug I don't really see the problem with him. Dopey actresses not realizing the casting couch is a thing isn't really grounds for cancelling.

I love it when these predatory men lose their looks (Franco, Hammer, Leto, Elgort, LaBoeuf etc. etc.). The ultimate justice. Now they just look like average pervs with little hope of career success to boost their images. Good luck finding women now, losers. Hope you saved your money.

He's pretentious and self-indulgent like an overeager art student. He wanted to try his hand at academics, film directing, poetry and art criticism. Even though he wasn't competent at any of those. I can't be mad at him for trying to branch out and do different things as it showed he's open-minded and believes in himself.

Cant be just send Charlene Yi back to whatever Asian country she’s from? She’s insufferable and thrives on cancel culture. She’s a shite actress and is known to stir up drama to further her own agenda. Franco is a creepy weirdo, Rogen didn’t want to believe it but now he’s either found definitive proof or his team is telling him to cut ties before some wonky tea is spilled about him.

Seth didn't care until Yi called him out on it. He's just commenting now because he has to save his brand and reputation.

Franco would never be interested in Seth. He has some standards.

Rogan is a fuckin' worm. Ugh

There’s been stories for years about James being gross and nasty. And Seth knew damn well what his buddy was doing. Creepy middle aged assholes. Seth is damn lucky with The Boys and Invincible.

Charlene Yi is a fucking asshole, and so is Seth Rogan. What an unfunny piece of shit. "I love pot! I love all kinds of pot and I even smoke it in the morning! See? That right there is HYSTERICAL!"

I hate him. Scumbag.

Yi's accusations backfired because she admitted she saw James abusing minors for years yet didn't say anything. She instead called out Rogen for not saying anything as if that absolves her of the responsibility to report that abuse. She has no evidence anyway.

Just like everybody else in Hollywood. Terrified that it’ll hurt their careers. So nobody rarely speaks out. So many people didn’t speak out about Harvey until he was in jail.

R54 Yes and it just shows how selfish and fake everyone in that industry is. If you see someone abusing others yet you don't speak up because of fear it'll hurt your career. You are still an enabler and part of the problem. It's hard to have sympathy for an enabler. Plus, the fact they think saving their career in acting is more important than saving others who are being abused. As if their entertainment careers are on par with being a doctor, lawyer or teacher.

Seth is disavowing Franco because he has a new book out. Showbiz is ruthless. Friends will drop you for a dime.

Oh please those dumb actresses who signed up for 'acting classes' were not abused.

I love someone wrote "James should move back in with his parents for a while".

You're talking about someone who earned about $30 million before he turned 40. After bonuses, he easily earned over $10 mil for the OZ movie alone.

I think I’m the only person who likes James Franco as an actor. He’s very natural.

He's a good actor but he seems to only choose films that interest him and as a result, he has one of the weirdest filmographies out there.

I didn’t keep up with the me, too stuff so I don’t know exactly what he did. A decidely in- pc opinion, but it’s surprising anyone (even 17 yr olds or whoever) would complain about Franco coming on to them.

James’ (and Dave’s too) mom is a very successful children’s book writer, so I’m sure she has a very nice house.

The Franco parents are from Palo Alto (not cheap). So I'm assuming they were at least upper middle class.

James Franco may be a dick, but he didn't abuse anyone. The entire thing is a joke

R64 I'd love to know how many people here defending Franco are in the Ellen thread gleeful about a lesbians downfall because she could be a bitch sometimes. I don't think the message should be "believe all women no matter what" but the difference in reaction depending on who the alleged abuser, is probably what lead to an overcorrection in the first place.

I’ll take James Franco over other cookie cutter celebrities ANY day. He’s interesting.

Bad person = bad art!

Well, in Franco’s case it might be true. But it’s probably a coincidence.

Did anyone see that really early Franco called THE APE? I love that movie!

I love the punk episode of FREAKS AND GEEKS.

I’m sorry, but his Cindy Sherman “Untitled Film Stills” appropriation photos were funny.

R65 Ellen being a bitch is completely believable. Most people also think Letterman and Corden are assholes as well. A lot of talk show hosts and comedians have awful reputations off camera. Ellen being a woman does not mean she's not capable of being a tyrant and turning a blind eye to the men and women being harassed by producers. She's an enabler if this is true.

I also don't think this is comparable to Franco's situation. Ellen herself was not accused of rape. The act of sexually harassing and raping people is a very serious accusation with legal consequences. It's something taken sensitively and that's also why people also want evidence to back these allegations. Because potentially false accusations can ruin a person's reputation and career and have them imprisoned and registered as a sex offender. So far none of the women have provided any evidence.

R65 I don't give a shit about Ellen either way. Her employees took $$$ to put up with her shit when they could have just gotten new jobs so I can't say I have much sympathy for them.

BUMP

This in no remote way compromises Franco. Seth Rogan is the pinup for every fat unfunny untalented Jewish mammas boy who believes you just need front to make it in Hollywood.

[quote] I’ll take James Franco over other cookie cutter celebrities ANY day. He’s interesting.

Agreed. If actors are psycho all the better for their performances! I don’t want to be their friend; I don’t want them to be spokespersons for causes. Timotheé or Franco? Mmm, let me decide. It’s SUCH a hard one!

R74 I though that pin up job was Jonah Hill’s?

Ally Sheedy was the one who got the ball rolling on Franco’s downfall, but she would never say what he did when they worked on a play together.

[quote] Ally Sheedy was the one who got the ball rolling on Franco’s downfall

That was Sheedy of her.

Ally Sheedy is to Franco as Dakota Fanning is to Ellen.

Has Maggie Gyllenhaal ever said anything? Although their characters didn’t interact much, she was a producer on the Deuce, but to their credit, I think they were the first show to have an in house intimacy coordinator.

[Quote]intimacy coordinator.

Is this an acting coach for stars who have no chemistry or someone who makes sure there's no sexual harassment ob set?

R81 Latter and helps actors with more explicit scenes and checkin with everyone’s comfort level and minimizes exploitation.

" So far none of the women have provided any evidence."

Lie.

I’m sorry, but I’m having trouble raising sympathy for anyone dumb enough to go to the James Franco School of Acting, if you’re that dumb, maybe you deserve what you got, like the people who signed up for Trump University.

R83

OK, please send some links for evidence. The only thing I could find was the anecdotes of the ladies and all they described as "feeling uncomfortable." They didn't say Franco forced them to do anything. They signed up for sex scene classes which entailed nudity. Having feelings of regret afterward is not the same as actually being sexually abused. If there is more substantial evidence. Feel free to share

I was molested!

Seth was frano's enabler for over a decade. He was the executive producer on some of their projects

[quote] You're talking about someone who earned about $30 million before he turned 40. After bonuses, he easily earned over $10 mil for the OZ movie alone.

You can't argue with financial success!

James Franco's behaviour sounds sleazy at best. Talk about a beat-up. He is taking the fall for more powerful people in Hollywood.

Franco should have gone gay while he had the chance, he probably could have felt up and fucked all the gay boys he wanted and there’d just have been more begging for them to be done as well.

Put Sarah Tither-Kaplan on twitter search and check this guy's tweets. He seems to have some tea. He's probably behind the Brets Assistant profile too.

If you guys agree, I'll message him this thread. Idk how he would post tho. I can just send him the thread and make questions about this shitshow.

He should be forever shunned for his Faulkner films.

I can't believe he was Oz in that Disney gaudy bauble.

He's short. Don't miss him.

I'm worried I'll be next to go.

What happened to second chances?

I call bullshit on all this!

Yeah, Seth is I’ll blowing Franco behind the scenes if only metaphorically.

R43 The comments don't seem to load on archived versions but the video page was archived before they turned off both the comments and the like/dislikes. They probably turned them off because they weren't in their favor. You can still see the likes... and dislikes.

R97 DL doesn't properly show archived links. If you wanna see the likes or dislikes you'll need to search the video manually on the wayback machine website.

Honestly, who would molest those dogs.

I hope James handles their break up well.

R91 I can assure you he has no "tea." He's a troubled dude.

R97 That video is fucking PATHETIC. Franco was a douche, maybe. He doesn't deserve to lose his career over what those women say.

Absolutely absurd. We're living in the upside down.

r88 I was responding to someone who suggested James Franco move home with his parents since he isnt working much.

Obviously there is only one solution. James Franco must agree to be "handled" by any and every gay guy in Hollywood that wants to, but just for one movie. In fact, that could be the movie! He will then be redeemed.

R101 how do you know? He seems to be in the industry at some level. Are u an insider?

James is out of show business. At least as an actor. He is rapey and no one is defending him anymore.

I don't know her!

R97 those women seem like the SJW type who like to target successful white men.. Blonde and white young women are so desperate to be seen as 'woke.' And they're self-loathing.

Mark my words, all this so-called cancel culture will be seen in the future in the same vein as the witch hunt scares of the 1950s -- and the Salem Witch Trials themselves which also relied on the unreliable testimony of young girls/women.

Perhaps rye ergot is to blame again, has anyone checked the Jewish bakeries?

This entire situation stinks to high Heaven! Grifting and fakery everywhere.

I saw Goody Franco with the devil!

I saw Dave Franco with the double ended dildo!
