James has given an interview with presenter Jess Cagle on his podcast
James Franco has broken his silence on the string of sexual misconduct allegations made against him in 2018 by five women.
Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal sued Franco in 2019 when they alleged he had intimidated them into exploitative sexual situations when they were enrolled at his acting and film school Studio 4, which closed in 2017. Franco told the presenter: “I [was] completely blind to power dynamics or anything like that, but also completely blind to people's feelings.”
“There were people that were upset with me and I needed to listen,” Franco went on, then quoting writer Damon Young who wrote that when questions arise over your actions the natural human instinct is to “just make it stop”. The comedy filmmaker also talked about his battle with sex addiction for the last 20 years, openly admitting he cheated on “everyone” he dated prior to entering into a relationship with his current girlfriend Isabel Pakzad, whom he started seeing in November 2017.
