James Franco, who just won a Golden Globe for his performance as Tommy Wiseau in The Disaster Artist, joined Stephen Colbert on the Late Show Tuesday night to discuss the film. Colbert also asked Franco about the criticism he received for wearing a Time’s Up pin during the Globes broadcast and the sexual misconduct allegations that have since resurfaced against him on Twitter. (His live event with the New York Times was also canceled earlier Tuesday.)
“Well, first I want to say I do support it,” Franco said of the Time’s Up initiative. “Look, I was so excited to win, but being in that room that night was incredible. I mean, it was powerful. There were incredible voices and I support it. I support change. I support 50/50 and 20/20, which just means people that are underrepresented—women and people of color, people in the LGBT community—get leadership positions, that they fill all positions that they’ve been deprived of. I completely believe in that. That’s why I wore it.”

He has every right to. My son is a witness in the last James Franco acting class. How these women were planning on some messed up stuff for their own personal gain. James is innocent! These women need to be called out. They are shaming the Me too movement! Wow!
Grab the popcorn and sit your ass.
Somebody's going to see Spacy and Weinstein soon.
James Franco is awesome, it would be a honor if he raped my wife
He’s Franco, he doesn’t need to rape anyone. He gets pussies wet just from being within 10 feet of them
I still support James and I do think these allegations are false or embellished to some degree. I wish he would make smarter choices in his personal relationships. He's almost 40, seven college degrees, and I thought I had too many ( I have 3 😂), a spectacular film career, good friends, great family. He needs to be with someone that is at his level and STOP hooking up with teens, early 20 year old girls that could make him look bad in the eyes of society. I wish him the best. I still love him as an actor and overall seems like stand up guy. 😘
I did nahhtt
They looking for a bag
These bitch's are all ready to cut the balls off of us guys. Can't you understand that!
I hate to see what lies they come up with when someone wins the Best Male Actor at the Oscars
HE DID NAAAAT!!
What? Isn't everybody getting sexual allegations? Lowkey, this is like a new trend I ain't with it tho
I feel like all them girls are lying
Enough already! So tired of these stupid whores trying to ruin people’s career for fame and money. Prob realized their thot asses aren’t good for anything else but one night of fun and then got kicked out the next day and this is their plan to eat back. Come off the bs already ladies you’re making he rest of us women look bad. Jesus I can make sure they really do get raped. Lying ass thots
why does the bro pronounce "tw" with "ch" lol
What these bitches want from a nigga
Noooooo not James Franco!!! I don't believe this. who's next Justin Timberlake? anybody who's successful is being torn down. As far as Ally Sheedy she hasn't done anything in years. What about all the people in real life who are really attacked or victimized and nothing is ever done it just seems if somebody is famous and they say something out of line or do something that's just a joke their careers are destroyed. Yet women are raped every day and these rapes are reported to the police and guess what the police do? nothing. Supervisors and superiors coherse co-workers into sex and what happens to them? Nothing.just more Hollywood b.s.
This is stupid
Jesus Christ, another man being a man. Fucking burn him on a stake!!!
He’s a man 💬
Zero tolerance should mean zero tolerance , off with his head . Lol
It appears the Lifetime Movie Channel becomes reality… now ALL men are bad and ALL women are good.
man my homie james franco aint do that he probably counting his stacks at his place
He claimed he fucked Lindsay Lohan when she thought it was jake Gyllenhaal.
fuck off frazier you skinny feminist bitch
Franco is goat, these thots really just tryna get a check!
#metoo and Time's Up are such a joke. Women of the world need to speak up when something is actually going on, or directly after to people they can trust or law inforcement. Scratch a guy's eyes out, mace them, kick 'em in the nuts, etc. Wearing black and being all symbolic and sympathetic doesn't help anyone. You are not gonna change the public opinion by moaning about every single little thing, just the opposite. Yes, we need a lot more guys to stop being dicks, and No, we don't need over-sensitive women publicly shaming men. A lot of stories are far from accurate and aren't incriminating facts, but womens interpretation of a single moment of feeling uncomfortable when they wished they had stood up for themselves.
He gets a pass
Why does society believe these Females as if they got proof,just cause she said it happened doesn't mean it happened,I'm tired of these fucking liars,leave James alone😂🤦🏽♂️
Hahaha James Franco a Boss he a g idgaf what some dumb sluts say about him I got ur back James
Ok I get the whole Kevin Spacey and Harvey Wienstein thing. Literally only 2 people in Hollywood were "alleged" doing some fucked up shit. All these other guys did basically nothing or did something mildly inappropriate yet they should have there careers and reputations ruined. People need to wake up and realize all this talk is pointless and the global media is just force feeding you this shit so you don't think about the real problems we are facing in the world.
nah he prob did it but the accusations aren't bad. He pushed his girlfriend at the times head down when she was blowing him and some other girl got mad bc she did 2 scenes naked when he was directing like a shortfilm or something. Plus he flirted with 2 17 year olds. Is that really like worth a scandal?
CompLex denies Joe Budden of a job. #nojoenoshow
This nigga look like a French fry wit glasses
My boy gets a golden globe and now woman wanna come out and say they got sexual assaulted why say something now and not then ? They are apart of the problem hard to feel sorry for someone who didn't say something then smh
Free my nigga Franco
y'all wanna come out after he wins and award?? thats just hate
Well, he didn’t deny, he said it’s not accurate. Big difference.
FUCK these hoes man one second they fuck with you then see you make big moves and want a slice of the cake, ……. STAY STRONG FRANCO !
James Franco can sexually assault me any day
What happens when you're that rich?can't even flirt or put it in her butthole agressively without having a feminist try to bring you down, fuck that shit bro I'm tired of all these movements and all these "minority groups" they can suck it for real you know what's hard in 2018?being a white male,open them damn eyes
When you're at the top, they wanna bring you down, James Franco could fuck all of our moms and that's not hypothetical
Social Media is getting way out of hand.Why wait till he wins?why delete tweets?go to the police 👮🏾 and let them investigate???jeez its slaughter season in Hollyweird
These womens' allegations is starting to get very annoying.
Enough with this fucking witch hunt it was understandable at the start of this “sexual harassment” bullshit but now it’s like who the fuck is gonna be on the news today and who the hell knows if it’s true with all these people jumping on the fucking bandwagon at this point.
No Saul
What happened to innocent until proven guilty smh
