  • For most performers, building up a resume of over 150 projects is something that takes an entire lifetime to achieve, but for James Franco that is a feat he has accomplished at just 45 years old. This Freaky Geek was catapulted to fame in one of biggest comic book franchises of all time before settling in to his role as a performer who can take on any genre and any film no matter how big or small. But with a tremendous rise at such a young age, sometimes you don’t make the best decisions. For Franco, those bad decisions would come to light on the very night of his greatest professional achievement and begin a downfall that is sadly all to common in today’s world. At one point putting out up to 12 projects a year, Franco has taken a backseat as allegations against him began to pile up. It is time we examine the career and find out just WTF Happened to James Franco!

    • @HolyDemonRune
      @HolyDemonRune 4 місяці тому

      I kinda agree with you. It is THEIR choice. In fact it's a bit of a privilege. Men can't really sleep with powerful women to gain status, like women can do with men.
      However, there IS a bit of a problem when their is such a large power dynamic. A person is going to be willing to do more because of power one of them has. It creates a situation in which it's pretty much the only option for the person without power. That's not even considering potential manipulation done by the powerful individual.
      But yeah I am ultimately with you. They are desperate for a status change. So they used their body's and James Franco s reputation to get it. Man, I wish I could just get fucked and have my life improve.

    James Franco's sexual habits were an open secret in Hollywood. Hell, when he was teaching at UCLA, it was a well known fact among the students that he hooked up with girls all the time, and that some women had to "be careful" about being alone with him. It sucks, but hopefully with some deep introspection and with well established professional boundaries with co-workers, he can turn it around. Dude was a great actor, and it's a shame his actions have tarnished his body of work.

    I’m genuinely curious. I get that Franco was in a position of power over the women he slept with. I understand that he used bad judgment by choosing to sleep with them. But hear me out, is it fair to assume that he is an irredeemable evil person? What about the agency of the women? Could they not recognize, even though they were desperate, that it is bad judgment to try to use your body to get ahead in life? In my experience people will use whatever advantages they have to get what they want. Franco wanted to get laid, he used his power (knowingly or unknowingly). The women wanted to advance their careers, they used their bodies (and/or attractiveness). I’m hoping someone can help me see where the controversy lies, I’m totally confused. Why do we expect celebrities to live up to some sort of moral standard that we don’t uphold?

      Telling from other comments, it wasn't much of a secret in Hollywood what he was up to and the relations were consented to - yet under the false pretense of getting the women ahead in the industry. He failed to deliver and live up to the promises he dangled in front of the women. They got upset and felt used - because he did use them, selfishly

    Here's my opinion of what happened between Franco and those women. Since nobody really knows the actual truth, The logic thing would be that they thought that if they slept with him they would further their careers. Because desperation makes people do stupid things. When it didn't work out, they accused him of sexual assault. But also not as cut and dry as that I'm pretty sure there's more to it than that. Now him being the teacher he should have known better than to engage in that kind of behavior on a professional level. Now with him being a man, and they came on to him, most men would not turn beautiful women down. But that's also not so cut and dry. I'm pretty sure some of them thought they might get a relationship out of it and when that didn't work out they felt used. But with all that said nobody knows the real truth except those women and James Franco and however you want to spin it effect is both of them are probably in the wrong. Like I said, it takes two to tango.

    Just sayin. Buy the ticket take the ride. I'm sorry you don't like what it feels like afterwards, but I mean... selling yourself for money/advancement isn't supposed to feel "Good" is it? I am NOT trying to excuse the true monsters that absolutely do exist in that industry and everywhere. Predators who FORCE themselves on others are entirely seperate from what I am talking about.

      This is weird. I’m 17 and live in NYC. I was on Frank’s IG, and he DMed me a picture of his mammoth man meat. Should I send it to the FBI?
