Many Hollywood names, including Seth Rogen, have said they do not plan to work with Franco because of the allegations.
“I wouldn’t want to work with someone who has multiple allegations of predatory behavior. So, in fact, I won’t,” Philipps said of accusations surrounding Franco.
Rogen publicly distanced himself from Franco this week, but Yi says that’s not enough.
Rogen also said he regrets joking about an allegation against Franco during his 2014 “SNL” monologue.
Yi also called out producer Seth Rogen in an Instagram post detailing how the filmmakers tried to bribe her into staying in the movie.
Seth Rogen said Cage asked him if he’d told Franco about his idea for playing the “Green Hornet” villain as a “white Bahamian.”
Simon worked with Franco on three seasons of HBO’s acclaimed drama “The Deuce,” which just wrapped its run this month.
Two protégés from Franco’s Studio 4 acting school have come out against the actor with new allegations of sexual misconduct — and the accusations are in line with similar claims he faced last year.
Arriving in theaters five years after it was shot, James Franco’s “Zeroville” ruins a great book about the mythic power of the movies.
