FREAKY FRANCO: I’M A SEX ADDICT
Admits cheating & abusing gals at his acting school
DISGRACED actor James Franco has finally fessed up to being a longtime sex addict, who routinely cheated on all his girlfriends and used his power position as a teacher to bed female students!
The 43-year-old Spider-Man star spoke up for the first time since five female students at his Studio 4 acting school accused him in 2018 of sexually exploiting them.
Calling “sex a powerful drug,” Franco says he’s been in treatment for his addiction for four years — even though the problem spans two decades.
He also recently settled a lawsuit for $2.2 million with Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal, two of the Studio 4 students, who accused him of using the school as a “pipeline” for predatory behavior.
Reformed boozer Franco says he kept silent about the scandal until now because “I [was] completely blind to power dynamics … [and] completely blind to people’s feelings.”
He admits thinking it was “cool” bedding students and that it was “consensual” instead of realizing he was using his teacher position to get sex.
He also confessed to cheating on “every one” of his former galpals except his current love, Isabel Pakzad. They’ve been together since November 2017.
Franco says he plunged into sex after getting sober 20 years ago, not realizing he was trading one addiction for another.
“I couldn’t see it,” he says.
