Seth Rogen Has No Plans Of Working With James Franco Post Sexual Misconduct Allegations
Hollywood star Seth Rogen has revealed that he has no plans of working with frequent co-star and collaborator James Franco following allegations of sexually inappropriate behaviour
Seth
Rogen
has
revealed
that
he
has
no
plans
of
working
with
frequent
co-star
and
collaborator
James
Franco
following
allegations
of
sexually
inappropriate
behaviour.
Rogen
during
an
interview
also
opened
up
about
his
2014
'Saturday
Night
Live'
opening
monologue,
in
which
he
joked
about
a
17-year-old
girl's
allegation
that
Franco
had
direct
messaged
her
on
Instagram
to
meet
up.
According
to
Variety.com,
Rogen
during
the
monologue
had
said
that
he
decided
to
prank
James
Franco,
"I
posed
as
a
girl
on
Instagram
told
him
I
was
way
young.
He
seemed
unfazed.
I
have
a
date
to
meet
him
at
the
Ace
Hotel."
Opening
up
about
the
allegation
against
Franco,
Seth
said
that
he
despises
abuse
and
harassment.
He
said,
"I
would
never
cover
or
conceal
the
actions
of
someone
doing
it,
or
knowingly
put
someone
in
a
situation
where
they
were
around
someone
like
that."
During
the
interaction,
he
further
recalled
the
2014
monologue
and
said,
" I
do
look
back
at
a
joke
I
made
on
'Saturday
Night
Live'
in
2014
and
I
very
much
regret
making
that
joke.
It
was
a
terrible
joke,
honestly."
Notably,
back
in
2018
several
students
from
Franco's
acting
school
accused
him
of
intimidating
them
into
sexual
situations.
The
actor
denied
allegations
and
settled
the
lawsuit
in
February
2021.
Meanwhile,
according
to
previous
statements
by
Seth,
he
had
agreed
to
continue
working
with
Franco,
however,
he
had
now
changed
his
mind.
The
actor
revealed
that
the
allegations
affected
his
personal
relationship
with
James
Franco.
"I
also
look
back
to
that
interview
in
2018
where
I
comment
that
I
would
keep
working
with
James,
and
the
truth
is
that
I
have
not
and
I
do
not
plan
to
right
now.
I
don't
know
if
I
can
define
that
right
now
during
this
interview.
I
can
say
it,
um,
you
know,
it
has
changed
many
things
in
our
relationship
and
our
dynamic." concluded
Seth.
For
the
unversed,
Seth
Rogen
and
James
Franco
have
worked
together
in
several
comedy
films
including
This
Is
the
End,
Knocked
Up,
Bad
Neighbours
2,
The
Interview,
and
more.
