Everything was going fine for James Franco. He made The Disaster Artist and everyone laughed. He hosted Saturday Night Live and everyone laughed. He flash his smile and everyone laughed. People just like laughing with and at James Franco.
No one was laughing when Franco appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Franco wore a “Time’s Up” pin to support women in Hollywood. It seemed like a woke decision from Franco, but some thought it was hypocritical.
Leading the charge was Ally Sheedy, who posted a series of now deleted tweets. The tweets read, “James Franco just won. Please never ask my why I left the film/tv business,” “Ok wait. Bye. Christian Slater and James Franco at a table on @goldenglobes #MeToo,” “Why is a man hosting? Why is James Franco allowed in? Said too much.”
Franco and Sheedy worked together 2014 in an off-Broadway play, but Franco maintains that he did nothing wrong during their time on set together. Sheedy wasn’t the only person who accused Franco of sexual harassment.
It’s … rich of James Franco to be wearing a Time’s Up pin 😐

Franco said the things posted on Twitter are “not accurate” before saying, “If I have done something wrong, I will fix it.”
If the comments aren’t accurate, then you haven’t done anything wrong, right?
Franco tried to pick up underage chicks on social media. This is documented.
I love how quickly Hollywood forgets…. as James Franco stands up there with his #timesup pin that he not so long ago tried to knowingly get an underage girl to come to his hotel room. #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/2GvZ8JkTxM

So him being part of the Hollywood sexual harassment ring isn’t exactly shocking.
And he could have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for that pesky pin.
