Franco’s talk off amid sex slams

- Kate Feldman

A PANEL WITH James Franco was canceled Tuesday — a day after the Golden Globe winner was accused of sexual misconduct.

The New York Times-sponsored TimesTalks event was set for Wednesday at the Kaufman Music Center as a discussion with Franco, his brother Dave and a New York Times reporter about their film, “The Disaster Artist.”

The appearance was scrapped without explanatio­n.

Actress Violet Paley claimed the actor sexually assaulted her and tried to lure her 17-year-old friend to his hotel room.

“Cute #TimesUp pin James Franco. Remember the time you pushed my head down in a car towards your exposed penis & that other time you told my friend to come to your hotel when she was 17? After you had already been caught doing that to a different 17 year old?” she wrote on Twitter Monday.
