James Franco is facing more allegations of sexual misconduct.
According to documents obtained by ET on Thursday, two former students at Franco’s Studio 4 acting school filed a lawsuit against the actor and his business partners Vince Jolivette and Jay Davis. The women, Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal, claim that they were subjected to sexually exploitative auditions and film shoots with promises of getting roles in movies that never materialized or were released.
Additionally, Franco is accused of offering master classes for sex scenes, with prospective students sending videotaped auditions, which he would review and keep. Per the docs, both women auditioned for the class, with Tither-Kaplan going on to take the class and alleging that during the filming of a sex scene, Franco removed plastic guards from women's body parts and simulated oral sex on them.
Following the filing of the lawsuit, Valli Kane & Vagnini, who are representing Tither-Kaplan and Gaal, said in a statement to ET:"Today, after an extensive investigation, our clients filed a class-action lawsuit against James Franco and his now shuttered school, Studio 4."
