LOS ANGELES: United States Actor James Franco said he regretted sleeping with students at his film school, breaking his silence about allegations of sexual violations in an interview that was aired on Thursday.
Oscar Nominee Franco was accused of public by five women in 2018 exploitative behavior, including during the naked scene at 4 studio schools in North Hollywood.
“Listen, I will admit, I sleep with students,” Franco, 43, said in his first major interview about allegations with Jess Cagle Show at Siriusxm.
“During my teachings, I slept with students, and it was wrong.
But as I said, it wasn’t that why I started school.” Franco and his previous lawyer denied the allegations that he had simulated oral sex in several actresses, and released clear plastic guards covering their vagina.
He was also accused of using his film school to ensnare sexually available women, asking for female students to dance around him without topless in the scene without the script, and make “everyone think there is a possible role on the table if we do sexual acts or take off.
Our shirt “.
In an interview with Cagle, Franco denied sleep with students enrolled in his class titled “Sex Scene”, and said the class only had “provocative titles” but did not specifically display instructions on intimate scenes.
“It’s not the main plan on my side,” he said.
“But, yes, there are certain examples where I’m in terms of consensual with a student and I shouldn’t.” Pressed on how he could not understand the power imbalance between Hollywood stars and his students, Franco said he had replaced teenager alcohol addiction with sex addiction and his own celebrity.
“I think when my thoughts are ‘if it’s a consensual, okay’.” Of course, I know …
I talk to other people, another teacher …
That might not be a cool thing.
“At that time I was not clear as I said.
So it only comes to my criteria like, ‘If this is a consensual, I think it’s cool.
We are all adults’.
