James Franco and two former students at a Los Angeles acting school he founded have settled a lawsuit which accused the star of sexual misconduct.

According to the agreement, Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal, who attended Franco's now-defunct Studio 4, have dropped their claims.

The women alleged that the Hollywood actor engaged in "sexually-charged behaviour towards female students".

Franco's lawyers previously described the claims as "false and inflammatory".

According to their class-action suit, Franco had allegedly forced his students to perform explicit sex scenes on camera in what they described as an “orgy-type setting” during a master class he held on sex scenes. Tither-Kaplan and Gaal also alleged that Franco led students to believe that roles in his films would become available to them if they followed along.

I mean, Franco has done a lot of sexual risque movies. Especially LGBTQ. Also it was an orgy scene and only two students felt like there was sexual misconduct.:huh: 

Honestly I don't think there was anything here. I do think there was something with that another actress that accused him of something. I just can't remember that whole situation right now.
