Golden Globe winner James Franco accused of inappropriate sexual behavior by actresses

James Franco’s Golden Globe lost some of its luster after several women went on Twitter and accused him of inappropriate behavior.

Almost immediately after the actor scooped up a trophy for "The Disaster Artist" Sunday, on a night the industry spoke out against sexual harassment, Franco came under attack.

Actress Violet Paley claimed the actor once sexually assaulted her and tried to lure her 17-year-old friend to his hotel room.

Well, if I **had** to be have inappropriate sexual behavior foisted upon me, James Franco could certainly soften the horror I’d feel. (:
Especially, if it was James Franco ten years ago.

Really. Who in her right mind would complain about being sexually harassed by James Franco?

There was a rumor that he was gay... but with Kevin Spacey ( I AM GAY ) losing its luster, I am not sure if he can play this angle.

Damn

First one I could say I find tolerable on screen

I can honestly say if I worked there this one accusation I would never have to worry about

I have never acted that way with women

I’ve fought and argued with them admittedly

But sure never forced myself on them

Not even on my rib

You want women to want you...as in wet spot wanting

If you have to beg or coerce why bother

"At the awards show, Franco was one of many stars who wore a pin in support of Time's Up, an initiative launched by more than 300 women in Hollywood to fight sexual misconduct and give a voice to those without a platform."

Everything's ok folks. He wore the pin. He cares!!

Many, many years have passed but I have had my rear pinched a few times in crowded night clubs by tipsy females. Somehow I survived the trauma and managed to carry on.

I lived in a town where one of his early tv shows was being taped/filmed. Seemed like nice enough fellow. Not tall though. You would pass him in the mall and not look back at him.

I later went to the wrap party for the show. Jim Carey was there because he was friends with the tv’s director. Believe it or not, he had a kind of charisma.

I wish I could be surprised at such idiocy.

He may be a slug, I do not know.

Accusations past their shelf live do nothing for me anymore. If he did something, speak up. Then.

Ugh, it was a terrible day on set today. The caterers didn't bring enough vegetarian options, the masseuse went home early sick, oh and James Franco pushed me into a dark corner forcing himself on me.
