Seth Rogen said he does not plan to work with James Franco again, along with whom he made films such as “Piña Express” (2008), “This Is the End” (2013), “The Sausage Party” (2016), “The Disaster Artist” (2017) and more.” I look back at that interview in 2018 where I commented that I would continue to work with James, and the truth is that I haven’t and I don’t plan on doing it right now,” the actor said in a recent interview with The Sunday Times about who recently unveiled his character’s first official image for the series “Pam and Tommy.”
“What I can say is that I despise abuse and harassment, and I would never cover or hide the actions of someone who does it or expose someone to a situation knowing that they are with someone like that,” he added. The truth is that in 2018, after Franco received the Golden Globe for his starring role in “The Disaster Artist”, at least five actresses denounced him via social media for sexual abuse, including: Ally Sheedy and Violet Paley, who also pointed him out to harass a 17-year-old girl who tried to invite her to an intimate meeting in 2014 at her hotel.

That same year, Rogen made a monologue for Saturday Night Live in which he mocked and ironized about the child’s testimony against Franco: “I decided to make a joke of James Franco. I posed like a girl on Instagram, told her I was very young. It seemed unperturbable. I have an appointment to meet him at the Ace Hotel,” he said back then. Almost seven years after that time, the actor said, “I remember a joke I made on Saturday Night Live in 2014 and I’m so sorry I made it. Honestly, it was a terrible joke.” Charlyne Yi’s testimony
About his friendship with Franco, Rogen noted that “many things have changed” in his “relationship and dynamics.” However, her statements come after actress Charlyne Yi posted a disclaimer through her social media indicating her reasons why she resigned from “The Disaster Artist” (where they tried to convince her by giving her a better role) and the complicity of Rogen, who also produced the project.

“Seth Rogen was one of the producers of this film, so he definitely knows about bribery and why I quit. Seth also sketched on SNL with Franco allowing Franco to take advantage of the girls. Franco has a long history of taking advantage of girls. This adds to all the corrupt laws that protect predators made by violent white men (…). Denying is a tactic used by abusers and facilitators which is psychological violence, and has serious effects: the survivor loses his sense of reality/intuition to protect himself from the target again, PTSD, suicidal thoughts/suicide, etc.” the actress said.
