- Franco admitted he has cheated on everyone prior to his current relationship with Isabel Pakzad. He said he could never be faithful to anybody.
- Seth Rogen said in an interview he has no plans to work with James Franco.
From Huffpost.com:
Earlier this year, Franco agreed to pay more than $2.2 million to settle a class-action lawsuit that alleged he compelled students in his now-defunct acting school to participate in exploitative sexual situations.
In discussing the accusations, Franco told Cagle, “I did sleep with students.”
He elaborated: “That was wrong. But like I said, it’s not why I started the school and I wasn’t the person that selected the people to be in the class. So it wasn’t a ‘master plan’ on my part. But yes, there were certain instances where, you know what, I was in a consensual thing with a student and I shouldn’t have been.”
