The entertainment industry is reacting to new allegations that actor James Franco sexually exploited young actresses who had signed up for his now-defunct acting school, with many calling out the actor for “creepy” behavior and accusing him of co-opting the “Time’s Up” movement for his own gain.
On Thursday, a lawsuit was filed against Franco by actresses Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal, who claimed that the actor convinced students in his acting school to engage in explicit sexual situations by claiming it would help further their careers. As The Hollywood Reporter noted, the woman are claiming sexual harassment and discrimination in the lawsuit, which also names the school’s co-owner and general manager.
