James Franco on ‘being told you’re bad’ after 2021 accusations, ‘it’s painful’

In a recent interview, James Franco opened up about how a lawsuit in 2021 changed his life, both personally and professionally. The lawsuit stemmed from allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior made by five women, four of whom were his former acting students. Franco admitted that being told he was “bad” was painful, but it ultimately led him to reevaluate his priorities and make necessary changes in his life. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to do some private work and focus on serving projects without trying to fill a void with work. Franco also discussed how he has moved past his previous fame and is focused on moving on and continuing to work in the industry.
