James Franco Breaks Silence On Sexual Misconduct Allegation| Explore His Dating History & Net Worth

The Oscar-nominated actor James Franco has spoken about the allegations in an interview with SiriusXM and said that he developed a destructive dependency upon validation in the form of professional success and added, “It’s such a powerful drug, and I got hooked on it for 20 more years.”

The actor was accused of sexually inappropriate behaviors by his four former students and one woman in 2018. The actor said that the allegations were not accurate but chose to remain silent as he didn’t want to shut down people who did not have a voice.

Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal, both of them, went on to launch legal action against the actor, and they are also his former students from West Studio 4 school, which he co-founded in 2014. Reportedly the actor, James, agreed to pay $2.2 million as a settlement in the case that alleged James and his business partners had engaged in widespread inappropriate and sexually charged behavior towards female students as they sexualized their powers as a teacher and an employer by dangling the opportunity for roles in their projects.

He admitted to sleeping with students and said, “I didn’t sleep with anybody in that particular class, but over the course of my teaching I did sleep with students, and that was wrong. But like I said, it’s not why I started the school and I wasn’t the person that selected the people to be in the class. So it wasn’t a master plan on my part. But yes, there were certain instances where, you know what, I was in a consensual thing with a student and I shouldn’t have been.”

He added that he has been doing a lot of work for four years and said, “I was in recovery before for substance abuse. There were some issues that I had to deal with that were also related to addiction. And so I’ve really used my recovery background to kind of start examining this and changing who I was.”

He also talked about how he was hurt by Seth Rogen’s actions but loved him and understood him, saying, “Of course, it was hurtful in context, but I get it, you know, he had to answer for me because I was silent. He had to answer for me and I don’t want that. And so that’s why, you know, it’s one of the main reasons I wanted to talk to you today I just, I don’t want Seth or my brother or anyone to have to answer for me anymore.”

James Franco Dating History

James Franco had dated Marla Sokoloff for three years, from 1999 to 2002. Then he dated actress Ahna O'Reilly in 2006. James said, “We’d been living together in Los Angeles and then we came to New York to go to school for two years. Then I signed up for more school at Yale. I think that was it for her.” Their relationship lasted for about five years as they went their separate ways in 2011.

He then got involved with sexy and mysterious singer Lana Del Rey not romantically as he said, but they were exchanging interactions on social media, and James has also written a book about her and an essay in V Magazine called Shades of Cool. The actor, James, has described their relationship as friends and just had pure admiration for her.

The Oscar-nominated actor then got romantically involved with Isabel Pakzad in 2017. This time it seems to be more serious, and the actor himself has said, “is working on being there for her more than with other exes.” According to a source, the couple also acts as a regular new couple even though they have been dating for four years now. They said, “They’re very lovey dovey. They act as a regular new couple with lots of PDA.”

The actor recently has shared how he had little regard for the feelings of his partners but changed when dating Isabel Pakzad and said, “I had girlfriends. I could never be faithful to anybody. I cheated on everyone before Isabel. I was completely blind to power dynamics or anything like that. I didn’t wanna hurt people.”
