James Franco gives his first interview in nearly four years.
ET confirmed in February that Francoin the 2019 lawsuit by former students at his now-defunct Studio 4 acting school, agreeing to pay $2,235,000. The suit was filed by two women, Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal, who accused Franco of creating an environment of harassment and sexual exploitation. Franco's attorney, Michael Plonsker, denied the claims in a previous statement to ET.
In their lawsuit, Tither-Kaplan and Gaal claimed Studio 4 was a scheme to provide Franco and his male partners with young women they could take advantage of. They alleged they were subjected to sexually exploitative auditions and film shoots with promises of getting roles in movies that never materialized or were released.
"I suppose at the time, my thinking was if it's consensual, OK," he continued."Of course I knew, you know, talking to other people, other teachers or whatever, like, yeah. It's probably not a cool thing. At the time I was not clearheaded as I've said. So I guess it just comes down to my criteria was like, if this is consensual, like, I think it's cool.
"I'd had girlfriends," he continued."I could never be faithful to anybody. So I cheated. I cheated on everyone before Isabel and [my sponsor's] like, 'Look, the cheating is dishonest. I don't think that's good for your sobriety, but if you're not dating someone and you wanna go and hook up, like whatever happens between two consenting adults is fine.’ Like, that's what he said.
