More women have come forward to accuse James Franco of “inappropriate or sexually exploitative behavior” in a new Los Angeles Times report, adding to allegations made on social media earlier this week. Sarah Tither-Kaplan, Hilary Dusome, Natalie Chmiel, Katie Ryan, and Devyn Labella, former students at Franco’s now-shuttered acting school Studio 4, describe what they felt was an atmosphere of exploitation at the school, with Franco taking advantage of his powerful position to coerce women into performing on-camera scenes involving nudity and sex acts. Another woman, filmmaker Violet Paley, detailed to the Times an accusation that Franco had forced her to perform oral sex on him in 2016.

These allegations against Franco first surfaced on Sunday, January 8. That night, at the Golden Globes, Franco won an award for his leading role in The Disaster Artist. He also wore a pin pledging support for the Time’s Up movement. Seeing Franco wearing the pin prompted Tither-Kaplan and Paley to tweet about their experiences.

The Studio 4 students told the Times that they would reluctantly participate in scenes they found questionable because they thought that performing with James Franco offered them the chance to land bigger roles.

“I didn’t have agency representation at the time, so I thought, ‘Well, I’m not going to be able to get into good auditions, so this might be my opportunity,’” LaBella said. Tither-Kaplan claimed that the women who did not want to perform in nude scenes were cut from films: “I got it in my head pretty quickly that, OK, you don’t say ‘no’ to this guy.”

Tither-Kaplan also detailed to the Times an incident in which she performed in a nude orgy scene with Franco and other women on the set of the movie The Long Home in 2015. Tither-Kaplan alleges that Franco removed plastic guards covering other actresses' vaginas and simulated performing oral sex on them without protection. (Another actress in the film confirmed Tither-Kaplan’s allegations to the Times.)

Paley told the Times that she was in a relationship with Franco in 2016 when he forced her to perform oral sex on him. “I was talking to him, all of a sudden his penis was out,” she said. “I got really nervous, and I said, ‘Can we do this later?’ He was kind of nudging my head down, and I just didn’t want him to hate me, so I did it.”

Throughout the L.A. Times report, Franco’s attorneys deny the allegations.

On Tuesday’s “The Late Show,” Stephen Colbert asked Franco if he had a response to the allegations. After Franco reiterated that he supports the Time’s Up campaign, he said that he hadn’t read the tweets but “heard about them.” He added, “The things that I heard that went on Twitter are not accurate, but I completely support people coming out and being able to have a voice because they didn’t have a voice for so long. I don’t want to shut them down in any way. I think it’s a good thing and I support it.”

Last night, January 10, Franco addressed the allegations on “Late Night With Seth Meyers.” He said that he read some of the tweets and called them “not accurate.” He continued, “But one of the things that I’ve learned is that this is a conversation that obviously needs to be had. There are people—women and others—who have not been a part of this conversation, and I truly believe—and why I was wearing the pin—is that they need to part a part of this conversation. And so I support that.”
