Actor James Franco accused of running bogus film school where young women were allegedly duped into auditioning nude or shooting explicit sex scenes
In this Jan. 7, 2018 file photo, James Franco arrives at the 75th annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif. Two actresses have sued Franco and his former acting and film school, saying they were pushed into gratuitous and exploitative sexual situations as his students.
Franco’s attorney, Michael Plonsker, said in a statement that his client had not been served by the lawsuit, which he called “ill-informed.” Franco and his colleagues were "dangling the opportunity to aspiring actors of employment in film and television," the lawsuit stated. After completing the class, Tither-Kaplan was offered a role in a project in which Franco appeared in an orgy scene with women. He removed plastic guards covering actresses' vaginas while simulating oral sex, the suit said.
