Oh hai Stephen.
Congrats, you win the internet today.

thank god disaster artist is allready released, if these tweets would have come earlier franco would have been digitally replaced by christopher plummer
It probably won't do too well as a lot of women won't watch it/buy the DVD, I know I won't.
Or Michael Shannon. He should have played the lead in the first place.
He's losing an Oscar nom.
Carol D you are so naive you stupid bitch, Jame Franco did nothing wrong.
yeah well speak for yourself, i know at least 2 girls who are planning on seeing it in theaters (when its released here) and most likely buying the dvd also
This is getting out of hand. It's far too easy to ruin someone's reputation with nothing but an allegation. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
he ruined his reputation when co made the interview.:-)
In these cases, innocence always seems less and less likely with each additional accusation. Women have very little to gain, other than public humiliation, by coming forward publicly. Women often do so out of a sense of obligation to support another accuser when she herself has a similar story about the same person that she has been keeping to herself; especially when people start saying that the first victim to come forward is "probably lying or after fame or money". Other women who have had similar experiences with the same offender get angry when the first woman is called a liar and they come forward with their own truth in solidarity with the first woman.
Carol D In order to continue this conversation I'm going to have to disagree with your reasoning. There is a multitude of reasons as to why woman (or a man for that matter) to make a false accusation. An accusation can be a powerful thing and it is also a perfect way to gain exposure. However, at this moment in time it should not be for us to judge but the legal system if anything of malice had occurred and people should not persecute others till all the facts are known.
That movie was hilarious tho what you mean
TheCasualVlog He didn't rape nobody. It seems he has a bad sexual behaviour with women but it doesn't seem that he has forced anyone to do what they didn't want. Not all victims are real victims.
james could have cancelled at the last minute but he didn't. he must have known that stephen would ask him about those recent tweets about him but he went on the show anyway.
miran X he did know. Colbert wouldn’t surprise anyone with this kind of question. Colbert had some balls to ask, Franco took it on the chin and got out in a better place than he was. Honorable job by both of them.
Shermanator92 balls to the chin, ic what you did there 🤣
Well yeah. Everything on this show is planned ahead. Nothing is a surprise.
Yes, and he knows what cancelling would have looked like. Wether he did it or not, he had no choice.
Colbert literally said that they talked about it backstage beforehand.
*Why did she delete her tweets?*
*WHY?*
Miftachul Hadi she was being a spiteful, angry, irrational woman, who would say anything to ruin someone when she’s not getting her way. Or so I believe, I’ve met a couple few thousand of those in my lifetime. One would think she would have had to take them down or be sued for slander.
Micah Stewart that perfectly describes of the modern woman today
Miftachul Hadi ..just to get her name out there N get other women talking. I'm a woman and boy we can be extremely spiteful
DCED ..not all women but the ones who r hurt over men ..
U can't trust some of them.
She's a pussy and a lying bitch that's why
My question is if you're accusing someone of something, why is she withdrawing her tweet?
I understand, kind of odd still since it's not like her tweets are gone, they're screenshotted and passed along. Regardless I'm just worried as I hope that Franco is still a good guy and nothing happened between the two of them.
This is something that is very difficult to talk about. Accusing someone of this caliber can bring you a lot of extra unwanted attention (as opposed to accusing someone who isn’t famous).
and....love the timing. so why didn't her poor soul bring this up at the TIME of the incident?
Australian Reality TV I’ve been sexually abused... that being said it’s something that is very difficult to talk about. I didn’t talk about what happened to me for years because I was afraid of what it could do to my family and whether anyone would believe me. There’s also this great fear of confrontation. Sometimes it’s also hard to define in what happened right away because there’s this phase of denial. There’s a lot that goes into it.
That was only one person.
And one reason is the targeted harassment and threats that come with it.
Just look at all the comments here about women that make accusations.
He assaulted me too!
When can I pick up my check?
Only a Sith accuses without evidence.
XD
Noooo not obi too 😂🤣🤣
Did you use FORCE at all back? Wouldn't be shocked.
Obi-Wan Kenobi #Timesup for the sith lords who abuse their power
Stephen respectfully asked his questions and Franco gave a respectable response. Everyone saying that this was AWKWARD are dramatic as shit. It wasn’t
Exactly I was looking for the awkwardness that people was talking about they was having a serious conversation about a serious subject nothing awkward about it
For real. All I saw was him being genuine and deliberate about his remarks.
omg this video is like so awkward you don't even know james franco is so old and random lolol */s*
Yeah it wasnt like with fucking john oliver, but James careful with the words he uses or else the angry mob will go all witch hunt on him.
This was awkward in a sense that Franco was clearly at a loss of words (maybe he realizes his mistake). Stephen was really trying to converse about it as politely as it can be. The tension was definitely palpable.
so if you're interested in the facts.. what we know for sure that happened was: a 17yo fan was actively flirting with James Franco, and James Franco Flirted back. She was NOT an innocent little girl like people are saying. She even suggested in her texts that she would cheat on her own boyfriend for James Franco... (JF: "Do you have a BF?" .. Girl: "Not if you're around!")... and the age of consent in NY is 17, even *IF* it went beyond flirting. But it did not. As always, people are making a Huge deal out of nothing. *He probably shouldn't have flirted back, but he did nothing illegal.*
Senor Moody THANK YOU!
Didn't she lie about her age too?
ACtually get the facts straight. Go look at the image posted. The moment she said she was not 18, he says BYE. He does not continue to come on to her. He didn't know her age. End of story. False news.
For those of you reading this, I don't want you to believe this assholes lies about him saying bye immediately after learning she was 17. That's complete bullshit. I don't know if they're in denial or just ignorant but you can look it up for yourself.
Very well done :)
So ppl support women Coming out even if the accusations are false???? I'm confused....
Joshua Petry Exactly! It's ludicrous.
Joshua Petry no, they're not being supported. It's just people don't get punished for false accusations that can ruin someone's entire life (because it could discourage real victims). In the end, it hurts everyone (people who make false accusations, innocent people whose reputations are ruined, and real victims) but those who are guilty of sexual harassment (because it gives them an option to claim to be a victim of false accusations).
I disliked this video btw lol. I'm glad this sparked a conversation.
It's judge jury and executioner via social media now, and if a woman says she was a victim then you must assume that is true. If you do not side with the woman you will be labelled part of the problem.
The world has gone mad, and it's because the men of the west have become pathetic. We all need to man up and stop listening to women. Start lifting and treat women how they deserved to be treated, like spoilt children with entitlement complexes. They are only good for one thing.
Callum Quigley I don't agree with that...
Awkward conversation but needs to be done
yemilicious 101 no it doesn't. All those women were hoes. They didn't get famous so now they all jumping on the witch hunt bandwagon. FOH.
These women are just angry and wanting a fucking payday, its man-bashing at this point.
Every hear of innocent until proven guilty? Apparently our society is so fucking short minded we all jump to conclusions day 1.
Poisonous fucking society we have, really is.
Nope..
It should be done in private. If something illegal transpired, then file a complaint and go through the system. It's getting to the point that looking at a woman could get you in trouble if she takes a dislike to you. I suppose it's not surprising as we've been leading up to this hypersensitised culture for decades. Hollywood seems to have the worst case of it, though, and it's starting to infect the entertainment that they're creating. My hunch is that people will not react well to anodyne movies which are constantly preaching the social justice message. They're going to completely lose the white, male demographic. Who wants to put down their money only to receive hostility and vilification in return?
CamberwellCarrot Exactly. They are and have been alienating the richest demographic on the planet, very stupid of them.
We seem to have forgotten "innocent until proven guilty" and due process. Accusing someone doesn't automatically make them guilty. This is a very insane and dangerous thing and needs to stop
Ijaz Ahmed That's for courts, not for the court of public opinion
Ijaz Ahmed I agree. It’s pissing me off.
Worldsbestdad you're such an idiot
Innocent until proven guilty? Due process? What's that?
Do you think victims would win in a court of law against these millionaire men and their lawyers? Money talks. The system is corrupted
What scares me is how every accusation is automatically believed. If a disgruntled girlfriend is upset at me, all she has to do is lie about sexual harassment. My life would be ruined and there is nothing I could do about it because her word would automatically be believed over mine.
Look I get it. Women have been silenced for a long time and their accusations have always been ignored; a change needed to happen. However, there has to be middle ground. Accusations can be taken seriously without being taken as 100% truth. We should listen to both sides instead of automatically saying, “the woman is right and the male is a disgusting lowlife.”
Let’s face it not everyone is moral. Eventually one or more females will realize that they can take down a person they dislike with one false accusation. People will automatically take it as truth and ruin the male’s life/career.
This won’t be the popular thing to say, but there needs to be a different way of doing things. We can’t go back to a system where all potential victims are dismissed;furthermore, we can’t stay in this present system of taking the accusations as facts that can’t be disputed. There is a proper way of dealing with these problems that lies in the middle. We just need to find it together.
Ruben Quiros not automatically believed, but every accusation is taken seriously
I am a woman and I agree with this.
Exactly. Like you said, the present system is set for accusations to be assumed as fact. It was a simple thing that i read about Danny Masterson that really showed me what some people believe to be true about the accusations. Danny Masterson was initially accused some 15 years ago when he was still on That 70's Show. LAPD investigated the claims and not only didn't arrest him or charge him with a crime, they found ZERO evidence to support the accusation.
The Louis CK incident was purely accusation (presumed true since he cancelled all of his current work) when Netflix fired him. Amidst that incident, the accuser from 15 years ago came forward and publicly shamed Netflix for not firing Danny Masterson who "has accusations against him", those accusations being the same ones from the prior claims.
That tells me instantly that there is a belief that all accusations are to be punished, regardless of merit. She knows the investigation was already conducted and that there was no new evidence, yet still believes he should be chastised for legally doing nothing wrong.
Perfect. Well said, Ruben.
This is exactly what I’ve been saying. Thank you for putting it so eloquently.
As a dude, look....That was awkward as fuck. If he did nothing wrong, it's ok to just say, "I did nothing wrong" He's dodging questions like bullets while saying I support the "Me Too" movement while also accused. If you never took advantage of a woman JUST SAY THAT and stand by it. And if you can't make that statement...idk man. What are you saying then?
ahepperl As someone who’s been abused, this is the most responsible speech I’ve heard an accused give. His humbled and flustered mannerisms make him look innocent to me.
The thing is this shit is so delicate right now, he has to adress it very carefully because people get offended and everyone is just saying shit and everyone believes everything now.
ahepperl imagine what an idiot he might sound like if he said, I have done nothing wrong. Like literally shouting it out, and in whichever way he says it, there still gonna be people who say he did it. I mean there is no escape
why does james always look like he's holding his breath
hes a reptillian
It’s the pressure of leading a double life
@@thewolf7280 stfu lmao
he peobably was lol he was blindsided by this topic for sure lmao
To his credit, he came to the show and talked about it as opposed to Louis CK who canceled everything when his story broke
Ike Moore Louis Ck confirmed the allegations. What else would he say? He probably just has to deal with a fuckton of legal shit.
What are you talking about?? Louis didnt cancel his shows. He was literally fired and lost his livelyhood over those b.s claims.
like Chapelle said: Really you dont know how to hang up the phone?????? Smh
Aye, at least Louis CK admitted the allegations and didn't play around with confusing statements.
MRostendway, they are talking about how Louis canceled his appearance on this show, not his own show.
I can't blame Louie on this one. Especially because his whole case was pretty damn embarassing. I can understand why he canceled his talk show appearances and the way he apologized was too graceful and too self-aware.
James Franco showed humility and he was willing to address the issue straight up front and discuss it. He just gained many points in my book ✌️
DAT THIRST
Ugh reading? Nerd.
He was willing to address it because he knows he didn't do it
Thank you God, feel like everyone is missing that!
He’s an actor, he gets paid to make the public believe his version of truth. Watch the golden globes moment when he shunned Tommy W! That tells you a lot about this poser!
I love how people say things like “if you’re a victim of abuse you should’ve gone to court” as if it’s an easy thing to skip on down to the police station to file a report or some shit but most of all I LOVE how people are not even considering the psychological aspect of sexual abuse!
Sorry buttercup, but we still live in a country of laws, not ur fairytale lala land where u can be judge, jury and executioner as you please
"Is there somewhere besides social media where these things can be solved?"
THE COURT SYSTEM AND THE LAW WILL SOLVE IT
American Businessman 42 You deserve an award. I'll give it to you🏆.
Thanks, friend!
American Businessman 42 lol cause they have historically worked so well
callmesra
Yeah they have thanks for noticing that
Yeah maybe one day the court will be used to justify things but for now it's Twitter .
This didn't change my perception on Franco, but it made me love even more that good old Stephen Colbert who doesn't give a f*ck about making the interviewy uncomfortable in order to talk about real issues. Damn
Stefan Ourthe Agree, I appreciate this interview and his questions
He only brought it up because Franco agreed to it before hand (and again right before Steven brought it up). It would make no sense to insult the guest star that is there voluntarily and will obviously never return again.
So yeah, Steven absolute gives a fuck about how comfortable guests are during an interview. Otherwise he wouldn't have any guests.
Fubar Snafu he did the same thing with Affleck, who was clearly destabilized ( he even said " this is a comedy show, correct?" ). He's the only Tv host I know who's confronting directly celebities about the accusations they're facing. So if he was legit giving a fu*k about how comfortable his guests are, he wouldn't even bother talking about the issue just like all the other tv hosts. Let's not forget that it's supposed to be a "light" entertaining show so Colbert obviously can't go as deep as he probably would like to.
Stephen is becoming a better interviewer all the time. Hes so good at what he does, no one can beat him when he's on form.
Liberal dick or pussy both tastes and smell bad, I'm a pure liberal born into a ULTRA-LIBERAL family, I should know.
I feel so bad for him. I completely support the women coming forward and speaking up about the horrors and disrespectful treatment they have experienced but I'm also scared that it is beginning to turn into a "all men are predators" thought process. It is also a way for some people to jump on the bandwagon and ultimately further their careers, have their 5 minutes of fame or simply earn some money.
This makes it even more difficult for the women who really have been subjected to these horrific ordeals
If James Franco did act in the way he has been accused of then of course he should be punished and it should be voiced in public however I feel like we shouldn't automatically believe somebody is guilty.
The majority of men are kind, caring, emotional people with a huge respect for woman and men alike. I don't believe every male actor in Hollywood is a pervert.
Don't tar everyone with the same stick
Lianne Palmer - The problem is they are getting it thrown at them every time they go out so there literally can't be any red blooded famous male in Hollywood who isn't a tad nervous about one of these gold diggers wanting their fifteen minutes and/or a big wad of cash.
I feel sorry for them and that's something i never thought i would ever say
I'm glad things are changing. If he was called out any earlier he wouldn't have that golden globe..
Well maybe if these men who are accused weren’t predatory then you wouldn’t have to fear this turning into “all men are this”. No one’s saying every individual man is a sexual predator.
MMFY it’d be nice too if women wouldn’t accuse men of rape for attention
It's somewhat, in a scary way, reminiscent of McCarthyism and the Salem witch trials (but obviously in this case there are actual sexual predators/harassers mixed into the group of innocents)
Colbert thinking Twitter is the court system😂😂 “BUT TWITTER SAID YOU DID IT!”
Joseph Harding bbbm
Oh, come on Colbert! 😂
Debo Datta quit being so angry
Terri Moore y tu
czcams.com/video/OmUr6MhdibY/video.html
everyone’s a body language specialist now! you can’t say he did or didn’t do something based on his reaction
he's ok.
Yes you can! For a vast majority of the interview he doesnt make eye contact with Stephen or the camera, he was looking down! Thats very revealing. Also he didnt say whether he did theese things or not, he was beating around a bush. Why not just come out and say I did not do these things that Im being accused of. Another thing is he knew about the tweets but didnt read them? Yeah cuz he didnt wanna go for another guilt trip down memory lane...
@@kix5365 this is bullshit. IDK which movie you saw to come up with all these nonsense but You ain’t Sherlock, you’re just a wannabe
Most ways people think they can tell are myths. Most body languages can mean more than 1 thing. Listen to trained guys talk about lie detecting...it's not what you would think.
You absolutely can.
“ They hate us because they anus”. -James Franco

Aaron Ambriz did he really say that? Cause thats funny 😂
Gackt Kamui -yes, he says it in the movie where he kills Kim Jong Un.
Who u callin ignant??!!
czcams.com/video/OmUr6MhdibY/video.html
i hope franco isn't lying fam, i wanna believe he's good
haley he’s lyin
omensoffate damn ur responding to everyone’s comments with negativity. He hasn’t done anything wrong
omensoffate Innocent until proven guilty.
haley same
Man people are so easy to judge we are all humans!! We fuck up...as long as he isn't raping anyone or forcing shit on people then he is all Gucci lol
I hate James Franco as an actor, but I think he's being quite candid. "If I've done something wrong, I'll fix it" is a sentiment I can respect.
Uh what if Weinstein or spacey said it? You would respect the sentiment? And before you say he seems sincere - he is a professional Actor. He knows exactly how to convey emotions.
Scouts Honor, prove it!!!!!!!
Why does he say he hasn't spoken with the women to clarify? That is the very least he could do if he cared about the meaning of the movement. So all he does is wear a pin and that's good enough? No accountability here
Thinh Tang I have to say the comments on this video scares me. As a part of the #me too movement, I'm sensitive to the aggressive disregard for the sensitivity of this issue. Too many comments saying"prove it!" or "predictor!" Unfortunately sexual assault is hard to prove and also as unfortunate is that the court of public opinion take assumptions as verdicts. We are better than this, at least we should be. Please show respect for others, especially at a time in US history as important as now.
When it was Michael Jackson it was guilty before proven innocent? Even tho he was acquitted of all charges, the public branded him guilty anyway..this whole innocent until proven guilty thing is a copout. It seems like man code is at work. It seems like many ppl believe whatever bias they start with even with proof to the contrary.
That's the closest thing to ACCOUNTABILITY I've seen from any of the accused.
Lous ck though
And al franken, morgan spurlock
Jo King hut but. Mek bhuhj
Jo King
Do you want to give him a medal for it ? So what, he still did it and saying things like this only makes him feel like he got away with it
Whether he did anything or not, this was so uncomfortable to watch.
Oh yes he did.. his face says it all
Crushenator500 He didn’t do anything. A lie shitty is just jealous because she didn’t win shit. It’s Not morally right to tarnish someone’s good name without any specific detail.
Crushenator500 He raped my friend. The truth will come out soon. Hes a disgusting pig and I hope he rots in hell.
Crushenator500 that's life. If you can't handle it then don't watch
But necessary. If we avoid all uncomfortable discussions we can't make progress. Which is absolutely needed
Wait a sec. The girl who accused him on twitter said she signed a contract to do nude scene? how is that being sexually abusive?
Exactly.. I was forced to pay $250/m to my roommate when I signed a contract. Where's my justice?
That's not what the allegations are about. He has been holding "acting classes" for high school/college students and there are growing reports of inappropriate behaviour during such classes. But it never got shut down because of his power, and his PR team.
Rem. Were you on one of his classes to know this?
Tacoraptor so personal presence is a requisite to believe large numbers of abuse victims?
Don't quite agree with you there.
Rem. There was a huge scandal in one of my colleague in where a large group of students came together and decided to take down a well respected professor by accusing him of harassment and they weren't true, couple of my classmates were offered in and they said no. Costed him his job, and rep.
So yeah, when these people see a bandwagon rolling they're going to decide to jump on it.
Coming to late talk show to answer on your accusations. Nothing to envy.
Most of these comments did not age well at all.
so right now in USA if anyone say on twitter that you did something wrong to them, they're 100% right no questions asked ?!!
Correction: any WOMAN.
Haters Choice you got it wrong buddy it's" you're innocent till proven guilty
Unfortunately yes. I can't even believe how many people were calling Melanie Martinez a rapist and a disgusting piece of shit after was was accused of rape with absolutely no proof. I wish people would look into both sides before calling people such horrible things.
It’s crazy, it’s like people are guilty until proven innocent. I’m a woman and don’t agree with this. It’s like if someone accuses you on Twitter, your career goes down the drain and you lose your job. Not right.
Unless your the prez. Then it's chill
Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Shubham Machhi because he’s a man and “they are evil” apparently 🤨
other way around nowadays
We saw how far the "innocent untill proven guilty" shit took us.
Look at Weinstein
MegaTobins696 So you're saying we should just believe anyone that accuses anyone of a crime without any proof? Seems pretty idiotic to me
No im saying that yall should stop crying about it in every comment section about these topics because we saw how far the reverse mentality took us.
Hollywood brought this to themselves
I feel so sorry for him ;(
Natasha Mcilveen Support him. That's all we can do.
Same here 😢
Ikr he doesn't deserve this I just hope he comes through this he is and always will be my favorite actor
Yeah, it's all so tragic but I'll bet his bank account and colossal ego will survive this crisis.
Natasha Mcilveen
Here's a handkerchief. Wipe the James Franco off your nose.
this is so awkward to watch
HeyitsEmily x but worth it
Clorox Meme true he needed to be confronted!!!
Yeah blind accusations going against someone’s life is so interesting
HeyitsEmily x there is no evidence
Your mom is awkward to watch but I still came.
This is getting ridiculous.
It literally kills your sex drive lmfao women are something else
Enlightened Doggo - the problem we have is the person who is hearing this accusation (in this case the public) sympathise the "victim" because all they have to say is "I was scared and couldn't talk to anyone". It's human nature to feel compassion and also find the blame. The accused should be allowed to ask questions, absolutely, and get given an opportunity to defend themselves (such as Franco has done) but some others don't get the opportunity or if they did they still get looked at as the villain. A French actress posted an article today and called it a "Witch Hunt".
What's worse is the people who are falsely claiming (or even exaggerating) sexual assault or harassment are actually making the real sexual assault and harassment victims look bad as some people may start to think they are lying, too, it discredits them and that's a mighty big problem and I feel so sorry for those real victims.
David Cavill maybe sex drive isnt the most important thing rn? there are a lot of inaccuracies in this world that need to be discussed and i dont think its smart to be against a movement such as this one bc it "kills your sex drive"
Exactly
non vincent did you read what I said? It's clear that you didn't, no where did I mention "this movement". I'm referring to the women who accuse falsely, do you understand that? And yes, sex drive is very important.
It's a very grey area at times. He's essentially saying he's willing to face up to stuff if he crossed a line.
Eddie Panedi
You can't look at/study his body that way. That's sexual abuse...
+Eddie Panedi He looked so guilty and awkward! I wish other people could see that!
It's an uncomfortable position to be in - period. What do you really say? No, it's not true? Then he'd be implying she's a liar, and all the feminists would jump him.
Or he says it's true... and the entire industry jumps him.
We're getting to a point where any guy in this channel could be accused of something, and if you have a career... good luck. It's fucking over.
he said he didn't do it. not sure why he would agree to face consequences.
Only about 2% of all rape and related sex charges are determined to be false, the same percentage as for other felonies (FBI). So while they do happen, and they are very problematic when they do, people claim that allegations are false far more frequently than they are and far more frequently than for other crimes. Put another way, we are much more likely to disbelieve a woman if she says she was raped than if she says she was robbed, but for no good reason.
Whatever you do, James Franco, please don't commit suicide. I've been reading about you 'being in a bad place' mentally right now and that's totally understandable.
James was just about to commit suicide then read this message and immediately changed his mind
I have a feeling that he's gonna have a mental break down. Since this issue has sprung up, I've been worrying about him so much. His personality is quite fragile. Hope he doesn't give up.
I really hope Franco does naught hit her, wait I mean do anything stupid (humans need humour when we think sad, thus above).
Anyway...I have a feeling that this will cause a hiatus in his career, but he will use this ‘depression and down feeling in a positive way’...I think he’ll use it to help him with a dark, serious performance as an actor. Similar to how Heath (RIP) used certain methods (no, not those) in order to BECOME the joker. Heath didn’t portray this maniacal character, he became him...the best performance I have ever seen. I do not think we will ever witness a better one. If only he was still with us...jeez, he’d probably have Brando lookin like zac effron by now. Again, R.I.P Heath Ledger.
He is on the epstein flight log..
Same, I do feel sorry for him considering how mainstream media has been defaming him.
James franco needs to win oscars.
Like his ego needs to grow larger.
He didn't get nominated
So...Batman(Christian Bale- ‘The Fighter’), The Joker(Heath Ledger- ‘TDK’ {R.I.P}), Cat-woman(Anne Hathaway- ‘Les Miz’) all have an Oscar.
Shortly but surely -Commissioner Gordon(Gary Oldman- ‘Darkest Hour’) will have one as well. Not to mention Alfred(Michael Caine) having two, Lucius Fox(Morgan Freeman), Miranda(Marian Cotillard), Now we just need Tom Hardy(Bane), Joseph Gordon Levit(Robin) Arron Eckhart(Harvey Dent), & Maggie Gyllenhaal/Katie Holmes(Rachel).
Then Batman, his allies, and villains(in Nolan’s Batman Trilogy) will all have at least one Oscar each. Tom Hardy is next...he has to be. Himself along Ryan Gosling are the BEST two actors in their PRIME currently IMO.
Will Rmr Eres como todos los idiotas que piensan que un reconocimiento puede engrandecer a una persona. Él ya es grande con o sin premio es un gran actor. No seas un pendejo falto de originalidad.
Sol Luna tu forma de ofender dice mucho de ti.
Jimmy Fallon would've tussled his hair and sung a duet
ambivalent ambiguity fuck Fallon. Colbert is the truth.
that was uncomfortable but necessary thank you stephen
I like that Stephen doesn't let guys like Franco or Affleck off the hook.
But I also like that he gives Franco the room for an answer and that he has a way to end that segement, unlike John Oliver grilling Dustin Hoffman which just lead to an uncomfortable stalemate...
+Herr Schmidt Yeah, I think John Oliver meant well, but his execution was poor. He did show balls by confronting him directly, though.
bemyguest Yeah and Franco was kinda lucky that these allegations came now and not one month ago. People are willing to listen to the abuser side now before destroying them. Al Franken got caught in that storm, Franco could have gone too. Lucky timing
Niamh _ Remember though there was evidence later proving Affleck to be innocent. Same could happen here.
I still have so much respect for James. I love how real he is. He didn't lie & say the accusations were false. He said they happened but the accusations weren't accurate. I'm glad he is always so honest.
lol I want a gif of 3:18 - 3:21
hahahaha good reaction gif for sure
hahah #metoo
2ndmoon you are awesome
2ndmoon omg thank you!!!!
soon...I'm sure
So any mans career can be over now by women saying anything without evidence? There needs to be some sort of filter or standard in place smh
it's scary out there man
intalent Larry King is a great example where he stood his ground and said he will sue them if they keep trying to spit out lies against him
Jr Morales you don't fuck with Larry king lol. I wish more innocent guys would take that stance, but they still lose face publicly
Here's a filter: don't hire women.
Yep, welcome to the world of how liberals run things. Pretty much a mirror image to a communist regime.
The justice system is the means by which such accusations are adjudicated in the fairest way. Twitter is NOT AN ALTERNATIVE FOR THE COURTS. Anyone who believes that is utterly careless of basic human and legal rights afforded to American citizens.
It's like that episode of the Orville where they go to a planet where truth and justice are defined by popular opinion. Everyone votes on an issue and the truth is whatever the majority decides. Way too close to real life these days.
1 things social media does that the courts don't do is actually get the truth out there some of the times
Your president uses it to pass bills
Anthony Naro "truth"
m1nt3a yeah but people sure do act like it 😐
This is disgraceful. Have we all forgotten that women lie just as much as men do?Have we all forgotten that there are women out there who make false accusations for their own gain? Have we forgotten that inoccent men who have worked hard to forge this career for themselves are being harassed? It's disrespectful to think that woman who haven't experienced sexual harassment could make accusations anytime for whatever reason to misuse that power. It's a slap in the face to woman who've truley gone through this because they know nothing about what they've been through. All life and situations need to be balanced on a scale. If it's tipping something's not fully right. I believe this movement not only needs to protect and let the women who have truly gone through sexual harassment be heard, but to protect men who are being falsely accused. This isn't just about protecting women, it's about protecting everyone.
We cannot trust peoples words on the internet. If you have a real case,prove it. Take it to court and file a police report. She deleted the text. She's lying.
Excellently put. There is something disturbing afoot at the moment and without balance we will ALL go down the rabbit hole
Zurin arctus *I Will Redeem The Land of Shadow** Your very welcome. The truth must be told. God bless.
Johan Channel whoa whoa whoa, women lie way more than men.
It's the same thing I had in my head! Well said!
I understand the emotion and the anger from women, especially right now when this movement is as strong as it is. However, we can’t lose sight of our humanity during this. We forget that there needs to be proof beyond a reasonable doubt to condemn, and if said proof doesn’t exist, then that’s an issue. If James really did act out in this way, shame on him. But I’m of the mindset where unless it’s been proven, I won’t be so quick to label someone.
Shut the fuck up.
black cat inc. very insightful
Exactly well said I highly doubt he did and I think the fact that he hasn't just told them to shut up shows he is a better person than most other men who wouldn't want their career ruined
Funny how these sentiments never apply to our president.
But it isn’t always easy to get proof when a thing has happened a long time ago or there wasn’t a way to actually prove sexual misconduct. What do you do in those cases? They become someone’s word against anothers.
I'm more concerned at him not letting Tommy Wiseau talk at the Golden Globes
MD raider #MeToo
Fuck wiseau and his shitty movie he owes franco a lot
MD raider concerned at him
ronjeremy123 wiseau was famous before this new movie dumbass.
Then clearly you don't know Tommy Wiseau. Tommy Wiseau is entertaining but he's a troll. He rambles all the time and would have said NOTHING of ANY substance. I want to hear him in ANY other scenario BUT the Golden globes. Franco stopping him was a great thing.
This issue as becoming a witchhunt status. You can not compare Franco whith waintein or Kevin spacy. If the acusation Is real go to a court house, Twitter doesn't seems to be the right way to portrait this very serious claims
Max Ettling yes but there were a lot of people with very similar stories and evidence behind those. This is only one accusation. Plus spacey didnt deny it
I completely agree. Social media is not the place for such serious accusations, whether they are ever true or false. It belongs in a court of law. Just like you can’t yell fire in a theater, you shouldn’t be allowed to toss around major accusations of crime on social media. It belongs in a court of law, and innocent until proven guilty is the only way to go about it. Nobody should be silenced, everybody should have a voice, but this is going too far in some situations.
Both Kevin Spacey and Weinstein haven't gone to court yet.
Your logic doesn't follow. You can't condemn them and yet say Franco is innocent when they're in the same boat.
Franco Leandro Montemurro its like George Bush senior who is obviously suffering from neurological disorders and dementia touching women inappropriately but the woman in the photo is smiling haha
Franco Leandro Montemurro I know right, what’s with everyone just embarrassing people on a massive scale and not going to court or the police to handle it? I don’t get it.
Wild accusations have ruined many people even before Twitter
Gavo Kai assuming that the accusations are wild has hurt many more
he just paid off a bunch of women. It's in the news , today. An innocent person doesn't pay off a bunch of women in a class action lawsuit. Is that "wild" or what?
You can tell by his body language, his eyes, his voice...he truly believes he has done nothing wrong. And I believe him!
In a world where everyone is offended by everything , I don't have an opinion.
your lack of opinion may be found to be offensive! ;)
Disclaimer:!...If I've offended anyone by not having an opinion, I sincerely apologise in advance...,and I apologize if anyone was offended by my apology.
Guitardudeguy TMark/Osh well, your in for a shit show unless we can push global warming and melt all the ❄
i'm glad, because no one gives a fuck about your worthless 2 cents anyway.
Guitardudeguy TMark/Osh I'm offended at your opinion that you don't have an opinion. Now where's my trophy?😡😡😡
These public accusations are BS. If someone does something to make you feel uncomfortable tell them to stop and file a police report if they continue. Don’t blast it on Twitter like an idiot ruining peoples lives without evidence.
Nev ...true that !!!
Exactly
These accusations will never see their day in court because the liars know they can't have evidence for something that never happened. But a bunch of twats will always believe everything that is said.
exactly.
Easier said then done
He's so awesome, down to earth and genuine. One of the best talents in Hollywood.
Jaded Jonny uhm, you just said yourself that he's got talent...ever thought he was acting here?
Simran Kaur But he wouldn't have a reason to.. He fully explains everything.
Jaded Jonny look, I'm not even sure what to believe when sexual abuse allegations are thrown into the mess. We can't exactly read minds or go back to the past to check if it happened, there is no proof of anything.
Simran Kaur exactly, sadly Hollywood won’t tolerate, even if it’s not true
I agree, Colbert is great! However, Franco appears to be a very different person in front of cameras than he is in real life.
It's called the court system. If he did something wrong, he would be prosecuted and convicted. Until he is prosecuted and sufficient evidence is presented, shut up. Who cares about baseless accusations?
Boromirino Kripperino Exactly it’s like innocent until proven guilty is not a thing anymore.
he just paid off a bunch of women. It's in the news , today. An innocent person doesn't pay off a bunch of women in a class action lawsuit. The did this through the court system. They must have read your comment.
@@tawan20082008 Actually, given today's climate of "guilty until proven innocent" if a woman tries to extort you, even if she is lying, it makes sense to just pay her off and have her sign an NDA. It will cost you less than the PR damage from her false allegations. So, no, paying off false accusers does not make their accusations true.
Damn, this was awkward!
Hockey Patriot yes it is
Yeah, it seems like responding to crticism, and admitting you dont have an answer to Stephens question, can be a bit awkward. =] Ive been there, I think.
Hockey Patriot ....As it should be.
I appreciate that they brought it up; it’s not a “TV” conversation, but it’s one that needs to be had so I respect the fact that they chose to discuss it.
did you expect it to be a jolly good time lmao
I hate how sexual accusations are so grey. It is so easy just to make a story up to ruin someone's reputation yet you also cannot take it lightly because what if it is true? I love James Franco. Why did they decide to talk about it now? And not earlier? I understand that it does take courage and maybe the times-up pin is what push them to the limit to finally talk...but again...is it really true?
some of the stuff about Franco came out in *2014* and he never denied it. He said it happened and he was embarrassed. Its only reemerging now, only this time with other women and other claims
ButterfleeEllie Send a link for proof of that
kain euler you clearly can't read 😊
Mega MovieZ thanks I will try and google it.
Analet du Toit shut up.
What are you doing Colbert?! 😤😤😤
"She's lying, but I support her right to lie"
I have sympathy for the women and men who were abused by the people in power. I do. But I cannot stress this enough: if you are the victim of sexual assault, GO TO THE POLICE. This is not an issue you should air on social media like you're jumping on some damned bandwagon, it's a legal issue for which charges need to be filed, assuming your accusations are true.
Y’all the police do not care. Like at all. If you ain’t got photos or bruises or some shit they ain’t gonna believe you
it's funny that you think the police actually give a shit.
Kalepsis that is so easily said, after such an experience you are in a crippling state of trauma and shame in most cases, especially if you worry about whether anybody will believe you.
Like that's easy. Most of the time you go through a gruelling and traumatic police process and the person is not even punished. And you are already scared because the person may be more powerful than you. People know that, which is why its hard to do even if it is the right thing.
If they are so scared they wouldn’t post on social media. Kalepsis is right and if that doesn’t work for you then you can post whatever on the all powerful social media. This is basics
What I’ve noticed is that when it comes to Hollywood sexual abusers, they’re serial abusers. So far I’ve only heard of this girl accusing him, and if what she says is true, she needs to make her case and stand by it. She messed up when she made that tweet then deleted it because now people are wondering whether she did this for attention.
Claire Knight I cum every time I see Stephen Colbert say the word "trump"
Lavar Bull you must have shooting blanks for a while now
Claire Knight holy shit none of its real
She deleted the tweet
Ol Saint Lit citation needed.
I really felt for Franco at the end of the interview, he looked incredibly sad and deflated.
I wish so many would stop making false and fake allegations.
Wayne Uk we don't know if they are fake. It's more likely they are true
"It's more likely they are true" - how on Earth would you know such a thing?
These accusations haven't the slightest hint of proof to them. Think for yourselves people and stop just reading headlines.
i think some accusations are real, but they still don't make fucking sense.
For example - a woman accused Franco of making her appear nude, despite she SIGNED THE CONTRACT.
Seriously...how stupid can these women get? If you signed the contract to be nude, then don't blame the guy for filming u nude!! Maybe...oh i don't know...DONT SIGN THE FUCKING CONTRACT NEXT TIME?
Sean Armstrong agreeeeed
So let me get this straight we come after all the men in Hollywood (which is good) but the president gets a pass oh okay
'cause he's Trump. Need much explanation? (Yes, but like hell anyone's going to give us the satisfaction.)
It's not as if Colbert is giving him a pass. So a strange remark to this specific clip. That said I agree with your point in general.
How about another President who did far worse "deeds" while in White House... cough**Bill Clinton*** cough..
Daryl Davis No he doesn't
Whatabout this and whatabout that, "Konark Shukla"... That is exactly how he's gotten away with it.
One of the girls even admitted she had a crush on Franco. Not saying he is not guilty or didn't do anything. But where is the proof. He is at least talking about it. It is so easy these days to say someone did this without any evidence.
This me too shit has gone too far. I can’t believe every accusation is true. What happened to being innocent until proven guilty. Women lie too.
EXACTLY
I did not do it! I did not. It's bullshit. I did nawwwwt! Oh hi, Stephen.
Tristinsroux prove that it has happened
I believe him when he says they're inaccurate
A. Wiggins I don’t
#ibelieveyou
You should believe the defendant in every case unless they are proven guilty in court or actual evidence/admittance to inappropriate behavior. There are few people accused that admit to it, but most people accused are deemed guilty by most people before any evidence is even shown beyond personal stories that usually are many years old and can't be verified with actual evidence.
Innocent until proven guilty
I believe him
keith jennings Thats because *most people* react, get all emotional. Rather than being fact based & say we'll, why don't we all just wait for facts. Isn't that what they do in courts of law oh, wait that thing is being thrown away too.
No man would even approach a woman after all this ridiculousness. Good luck, old maids!
if approach = assault then yeah don't do it
Mad respect for him for realizing this isn't the place for them to be discussing solutions, especially without the input of those who are affected.
I really love James and I’m a big fan of his ,I really hope with all my heart there’s no truth in this stories .. and him not shying away from all this accusations and actually talking about them makes me give him a benefit of a doubt.

“Time’s Up” isn’t going to last long if they keep trying to chase off male supporters.
DanteBrian in fact it could work even more effectively, by just destroying Hollywood
Hollywood is a hydra, moron. Cut off one head, 10'000 more will grow in it's stead.
...why..? Females aren't capable of sustaining it.? You realize females are a majority of the population, not males..? I don't have social media so I only barely even know what's happening and this is quite new to me (the time's up meme, not the problem that it's addressing) so please feel free to call me an idiot but it seems to me that while any good support on this issue would be great this shouldn't have to be an issue which for any reason needs extra male bodies... Especially supporters.? Maybe you mean males who are actively trying to accomplish things or maybe you mean males who don't actively get in the way but you said supporters. Yes we should support this in principle but who the hell needs another yes man in the room? Why not tell that person to wait outside? Again I didn't watch whatever Franco was on so all I know is that Colbert just told me Franco had a pin nor do I know any of the criticism that was put against Franco so maybe my point isn't relevant and I'm certainly not referring to Franco as a yes man but your words alone aren't very clear to be sure..
slipknot95maggot so I should reject or support this? Now I'm confused.
there are more women than man in this world, it's fine thanks.
Regardless of whether this guy is guilty or innocent, it’s crazy how easily a man can have his life ruined by an accusation.
James Franco response sounds so raw and straight from the heart. With no heartlessness. Going live with his response. Wow.
I feel like with everything going on, people are feeling like they HAVE to believe every single allegation made and that's just not fair on people who are innocent. Not saying that everyone is innocent but we have to believe that they are until proven guilty. These are serious allegations and they ruin people's lives so we shouldn't jump on the bandwagon just for the sake of it and especially if we don't know the whole story.
This is just my opinion but if you want to believe something you've heard only a few sentences about and automatically believe the worst, go ahead.
This also isn't specifically about James Franco by the way but personally, until there's further info, I think it might have been a misunderstanding but I know nothing. He said the girl took the tweet down so it may be because she originally tweeted it as a joke, to see if it would do something because it's pretty clear that once an allegation is made, people are automatically going to believe it. AGAIN, I know nothing so just my opinion with all that I know.
I totally agree. And while there will be cases where the accused isn't charged with anything in a court of law but the court of public opinion sees that person's obviously guilty (OJ for example), those are few & far between. Cases like that also definitively ruin that person's career.
We don't have to believe anything unless we're on a jury. People believe what they want to believe.
Wow! This was awkward as shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
I mean... it sounds like he’s trying hard to sound genuine
We now live in a world where people can be fired from accusations without any proof because people are so concerned about being progressive.
Franco’s career is on the line and he knows it. I truly hoped he keeps acting because he’s an amazing actor and so many others have been taken down because of abuse
Sabre He's going to.
Even from the start, I don’t find it wise to judge the truthfulness of a claim based on a statement in Twitter. Courts exist to evaluate those claims. You can make a claim effortlessly in Twitter but the effortlessness is almost gone in court.
Actually courts exist to evaluate if there is enoug proof to send someone in jail, not to find out if somethings true.
Nevertheless, the bandwagon is never the right person to turn to in establishing the truthfulness of claims. Also, is justice not based on truth? Is it not another possibility that when there is NOT enough proof we don’t send someone to jail, in the name of justice?
its not all the same
Which is why I'm glad Stephen posed the question as to what other ways are available for people to discuss these issues besides using social media. Not all women who come forward about sexual harassment and assault are going to press charges, and a lot of accusations will not go to court. And perhaps some of the things he has done to women aren't technically illegal, but they are still misogynistic and creepy. Women have the right to speak up about these incidents, and right now, unfortunately, Twitter is the best way to do that.
Joe Jovellano yup. And what a coincidence it came out the night he wins.
😫😫 so sad if he's being framed---he looks exhausted
You don't believe the women?
Why would they lie about such a thing?
Randomly Oni C he did it. All these Hollywood types are scum. All rich people think they’re above the law.
damn well why wold he
Isaac Asimov because there is piece of shit woman out there just like piece of shit men out there. Quit being a stupid ass she just wants fame and attention. She’s trying to make him look bad because he won an award
There’s video of him admitting to and screenshots of his interactions trying to lure a 17 year old girl to a hotel room with him. I’m so sick of this bs, FEEL FOR THE ABUSER. You’re sick, get help.
I didn’t hit her I didn’t do it I did NOOOTTTT
Petit yes! 😂
yes you DID 😂
It's difficult, in a time where Trials, and Convictions don't need to occur for someone's career to end immedietly, I see a man who whether guilty or not, knows that he's a tweet away from his life being over. There are truly some monsters out there and they should face up to what they've done and face charges. But among the monsters, I believe there are also innocent people who've spent decades building careers, and now people who are jealous, just want them to crash and burn, or want to have a voice or power, now have a way to punish and destroy those who they envy in a quick fashion, that allows discretion on their part because all they have to do is type a message on a playing card sized device, and hit a send button from thousands of miles away. And it's over for these people because no one wants to take the time and treat some of these people fairly before writing them off. James gets accused the night of his Golden Globe win, Stan Lee, days after his 95th Birthday. It's hard to think there wasn't some intent to get these accusations out when these people were already in the headlines so it would be noticed. It seem suspicious, and unreliable to me. There's no evidence They did it, and also none saying they didn't. except for the man trying to defend themselves on live television while these unknown accusers sit without fear of indiscretion. I don't believe there's much suspicious about this interview, just someone who is scared and knows that his voice and recorded trust is worth less than an anonymous written one that was taken down right after it was put up. You can delete a post, but you can put words back into your mouth. James did some very bad things in the past, but was held accountable and he took responsibility. And people actually were able to forgive him and give him another chance. I think that should hold true now. We can't allow people to acknowledge and rectify there wrongdoing if we mute their voice, block them, and delete them from our history. Not just Franco, but everyone in this situation. No jumping to conclusions on the part of the accusers, press, or the actor's employers/ accociates. There needs to be a full investigation and trial if need be. Both sides of the story are important and deserve to be heard. If you have a voice, be ready to use it not just for an offensive accusation and then disappear, but to defend your claim facing the crowd and prove it as fact. Every voice, and every life needs to matter. Not just one group, race or gender. Lives Matter
Travis Mitchell Bless you.
Remember august aims
Exactly well said I mean why choose dates that are significant to those people before you say anything just because your career hasn't worked out doesn't give you the right to ruin other people's but theses will also affect their live I mean James' friends and family are genuinely worried about him he's looking less and less guilty to me
#TrialByTwitter
Black Mirror comes to reality.
innnernetz
Twitter was a mistake.
innnernetz love your profile pic
Vanessa Lopez Hey, thank you! Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?
innnernetz sussudio is my personal favorite
Dave Chapelle just talked about this.
Black Hax he was right. It's like they can't help now lol. "I can help!" "Shut up! You touched a titty back in 92!"
Where can I see it ?
Seddit Guy Netflix
Seddit Guy Netflix
Seddit Guy Netflix , its “The Bird Relevation”
Love how he basically said "I don't remember it, but if I did I'm sorry, but I don't think I did"
James is being quite FRANKo!
The Rover lmfao
The other woman accusing him also posted these imgur.com/a/VrlRw Stop treating accusations as fact.
EFYN dude if these are real people should see this before she deletes em.
that is pretty convincing
EXACTLY
Wow. I looked those up to see if she really did say those things and it looks like she did. Definitely seems like an attention seeker.
Anyone can come out and accuse anyone now and say me too. I am not saying Franco is innocent but this new movement of western feminism is a joke...makes mockery of actual victims...i cannot support such movement
Absolutely disgusting. This man got an award for his work and he has to explain himself in front of an international audience about some vague allegations that isn't backed by any evidence.
Absolutely repulsive.
If you're in Hollywood, better make damn sure you don't look at a woman the wrong way.
calafeast saying something like that doesn't help anyone. Ofcourse they should cast woman, and ofcourse rape is wrong.
But we should stop believing every random tweet of every confused teenages and destroy people's lives.
Exactly
didnt he invite a 17 year old to his hotel room?
calafeast this has nothing to do with liberalism. This is all new age American "liberalism". Classis liberalism is all about handeling these situations in court and freedom of speech.
Cameron Sipka says who? It might be true, or it might not be. I wasn't there. If he committed a crime then let the court find out.
Do we need to murder his career because of some gossip and hearsay?
And then something else, he's a famous moviestar and girls line up for him willingly. I think it's hard for a normal person to withstand all that temptation and attention. Did the girl say to him that she was underage? I don't think so.
I don't ask girls for ID's all the time at least.
its been 3years and i am still confused and unsure.....
This is called saving your career. Well-prepped and well-performed.
this is becoming a sick joke
i so totally agree.
Me too. And I am a women
It’s becoming scary. Anyone’s carrier could be ruined now just by posting an accusation.
Some girl at work can say you raped her and you can get fired instantly no questions asked
Look at this, this is the alleged victim’s actual Twitter.
twitter.com/violetpaley/status/904093185248346112
Sorry everyone, but i feel bad for him.
Erlinda Ford So do I...😑
What he is accused of isn’t even a big deal
Says a man.
Carol D take your silly miserable feminist ass somewhere.
He asked a woman he's been romantically dating for a while to give him a bj at night in a car and she did without protest, how the fuck could he know she did it only to not make him sad. Do you know how many things both sexes do for the other person they're with to make them happy that they just do for the other's happiness?? If you want him to lose his career over it send all men gay or straight to jail and a few lesbian women too.
Carol D Yea because men should know how to read minds now... False accusations don't help anyone... especially actual victims
ImJustBran the vagania gaurd one is potentially pretty bad.
A genuine cliffhanger
Man its so hard (if they are not true) to be in James shoes. If the accusations are true then he is acting it very smartly.
Infinite Singularity I hope it’s not true,I’m biased I’ll admit that and I just hate how accusations and social media are treated as law and fact.why can’t these accusers go to the police?
Why write a police report when you can write something unofficial that everyone can see forever on the internet via Twitter.
This whole movement is about trying to get women believed, and that applies to the police too. It’s not always helpful and there are lots of reason not to go to the police. That being said, I hope it isn’t true that he forced anything on anyone. I liked the way he apologized and didn’t avoid the topic though.
Benzine270 yeah good point but I don’t think it’s just about women since Terry Crews and Kevin Spaceys accuser are apart of the movement also. I just don’t like how Twitter is law now.its dangerous and powerful and everyone man or woman can abuse that.
Many people bring up the instagram story that happened years ago, for which he appologised and worked hard ro be better and responsible. But people still want to bring hi down.
Sir Ghost Poop the police don’t give a shit and Rich people get away with everything
Well... that wasn't on the script!
Kind of a double edged sword for him. If he says he supports the "Me Too" movement by wearing the badges and shit that means that he supports and believes all the women that come out (and he's indicating that we should too). So why is he the exception? Does he expect us to believe the Weinstein accusers and not his? At the same time if he says he doesn't support them, it could be only because he's being accused of something himself and that he is infact guilty. Nevertheless, I don't see why he should receive any special treatment. They cancelled Kevin Spacey's shows and movies and never gave him a chance to explain, why aren't they doing the same for James Franco?
Wow!! What a cliffhanger!!!
