James Franco has been hit with a lawsuit claiming he 'sexually exploited' students at his acting school
, Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal — two former students at Franco’s Studio 4 acting school — sued the actor and his business partner Vince Jolivette over the program’s various alleged practices.
Franco and his partners in the school “engaged in widespread inappropriate and sexually charged behavior towards female students by sexualizing their power as a teacher and an employer by dangling the opportunity for roles in their projects,” the lawsuit states. The suit was filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Franco is also accused of making perspective students enroll in a “sex scenes masterclass” and film videotaped auditions with the understanding that Franco would remain in possession of the tapes; the students also had to sign away their rights to the recordings. In addition to monetary damages, Tither-Kaplan and Gaal also seek the destruction of all video recording tied to the Studio 4 school. A rep for Franco did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
In the aftermath of Harvey Weinstein and #MeToo, Tither-Kaplan accused Franco of sexual misconduct in a tweet that went viral on January 7th, 2018, just days before
