Despite Scarlett Johansson using her Women’s March speech to call out James Franco and amid numerous allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against him by multiple women, James Franco attended the 2018 SAG Awards on Sunday night.
The actor's agent confirmed ahead of the ceremony that the recent accusations would not prevent Franco from attending the Screen Actors Guild Awards. The Disaster Artist actor was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role at the awards show.
However despite attending the event - Franco unlike his brother, Dave - did not walk the red carpet. His sister-in-law Alison Brie, who is nominated for a SAG Award as part of the ensemble cast of Glow, did walk the carpet, and she spoke out about the accusations, “I think that above all what we’ve always said is that it remains vital that anyone who remains victimized should and does have the right to speak out and come forward," she said.
She continued, "I obviously support my family and not everything that's been reported is fully accurate, so I think we’re waiting to get all the information. But of course, now is a time for listening, and that’s what we’re all trying to do.”
Charges are yet to be brought to James Franco.
