Teletubby 151,221 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 James Franco has agreed to pay $2,235,000 to resolve a lawsuit alleging he pushed acting students into performing in increasingly explicit sex scenes on camera. The proposed deal is being put to a Los Angeles judge for approval. Two former students in Franco’s acting class, led the lawsuit back in Oct. 2020. The complaint alleged that those who were taught by Franco at Studio 4 Film School in New York and Los Angeles were the victims of fraud. Tither-Kaplan is getting $670,500 minus $223,500 less in fees going to the lawyers. Gaal will get $223,500 minus $74,500 to the lawyers. And the other students would get almost two-thirds of the remaining pot of $1.341 million with the lawyers total take being around $827,000. The settlement will require Tither-Kaplan and Gaal to release claims with the other students releasing fraud claims against the star actor. source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them are talking against James Franco and helping these girls basically.. in a few months he will come back to work like nothing has happened.

I don't think any of those people are actually leftists though. Hiding abuse is not a leftist value. Call them progressives, sure, because American politics in Hollywood and overall are so right wing slanted, but I would hardly consider Meryl Streep or the screen actors guild "leftist". They are self interested centrists/liberals at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think that any celebrity who claims they didn't know about Harvey Weinstein is an absolute liar. They ALL KNEW, and everyone shut up about it.

Even Seth Rogen himself has come out and said he will not work with Franco again I doubt he’ll have a sustainable career to go back to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criminal trials should be had Are they allowed to press criminal charges in this case? If so then i guess the lawsuit was by choice and they prefer money? I dont know if its the case in this partocular situation cuz i dont know the law very well in this case so im gonna generalize here... But ive noticed quite a few ppl when they are wronged in some way, if they get more than 1 legal option on how to respond they will still select the option that puts more personal profit ahead of them than the option that is more focused on justice. Its a choice, but i find it kinda sad thats where we are as a society Like in cases where a profitable lawsuit is an option over charges... ppl will often take the lawsuit And the sad thing is... i probably would too depending on the situation. But i never claimed to be morally perfect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
