James Franco Sexual Assault Allegations Update
James Franco was accused of sexual assault by five women; four were his students.
Franco and his business partners “engaged in frequent unethical and sexually charged behavior towards female students by sexualizing their position as an instructor and an employer by dangling the prospect for involvement in their projects,” Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal said in a lawsuit filed in 2019.
He’s finally speaking up about sexual misconduct charges that emerged nearly four years ago.
Franco’s attorney at the time refuted all of the charges. After years of denial, he finally admitted to his sexual addiction in an interview, saying he had to cope with several challenges, some of which were also tied to addiction. So he’s been using his recovery experience to start looking into it and changing who he was.
Franco said that he had battled physical intimacy addiction for years after quitting drinking at a young age.
He even revealed that before his present relationship with Isabel Pakzad, he cheated on everyone and that he could never be loyal to anyone.
He finally admits to all of his previous sins and apologizes for wrongdoing on his students.
