Franco hit with claims

FIVE women have accused US actor James Franco of engaging in inappropriate or sexually exploitative behaviour when he worked with them, according to a report.

Sarah Tither-Kaplan, who was a student at his film school and appeared in Franco’s productions, told the Los Angeles

Times that Franco pressured her into filming nude scenes.

She is one of five women to accuse Franco, who won Best Actor for The Disaster Artist during this year’s Golden Globe Awards, of “sexually exploitative” behaviour.
