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.

The Golden Globes yanked Kevin Spacey from some award because of his supposed behavior. Why was Franco not yanked? Probably half the winners will have MeToo accusations within the week.

Was it a mepps or a simple spinner, perhaps a few salmon eggs for added color?

If Hollywood had been serious about sexual assaults, they would have shown it at the Golden Globes. they would have named the directors, and had all the victims of each perp stand. One by one, to shame each perp.

Under mob rule, a mere note of denunciation suffices to send a man and his family to the guillotine or the frozen gulag.

Mob rule. It’s exciting.

Ah, but did he act concerned and did he wear his “Me,Too” button? Oprah’s best friend, Harvey Weinstein, always acted concerned about women, too.

We are in a new era.

Accusations are truth. Many behaviors that were considered part of “normal” Male / Female interaction are now immediately suspect.

I remember hearing Married Women say things like, “he pursued me until I let him catch me” or “he was very persistent”.

Now those same behaviors would be called Stalking or Sexual Harassment.

The funny thing is that the reality of the Casting Couch has been known for years. Everyone acts shocked, especially Potted Plants in Weinstein’s case.

I want to submit a theory. If Harvey Weinstein looked like Cary Grant instead of Jabba the Hut, very few of his accusers would have been believed which would have resulted in this story gaining little traction and this whole Hollywood meltdown would be almost nonexistent.

Again, just a theory.

“Sexual assault” now includes butt grabbing, so is rather hard to take seriously.

These accusations are laughable.

1. Idiot #1 accuses Franco of wanting her to perform oral sex on him. This is now termed “sexual assault” and immediately makes the vast majority of males who ever lived guilty.

2. Idiot #1 also says that Franco also lusted after a 17 year old, which was the age of consent. So this makes it . . . well, legal.

3. Idiot #2 accuses Franco of asking her to strip on a movie “for only $100 a day” because it was in her contract. GASP! How dare he force her to be naked for a movie after she signed a contract saying she’d be naked for a movie! The nerve! Maybe somebody should ask idiot #2 exactly how much money she’d need before she’d be comfortable stripping off all of her clothes.

4. Idiot #3, Ally Sheedy, has the best one of all. She accuses Franco of simply being PRESENT at a play which he was . . . um, directing. Why? Because he’s a man - and that’s enough! BING! BING! BING! We have an winning idiot, here!

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

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!!

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.
