Actress Charlene Yee accused James Franco of harassing women and children: "He's a sex maniac"

42-year-old James Franco, apparently, got into a new sex scandal. This time, the star of the TV series "Doctor House", 35-year-old actress Charlene Yee, accused him of sexual harassment against not only women, but also children. She told how they worked together with James on the film "The Woe-maker", which was released in 2017 — - James directed it and played the main role, and Charlene was a supporting actress.

In a post on Instagram yesterday, Charlene Yee admitted that she tried to quit the project when she found out about Franco's lewd behavior because she didn't feel completely safe on set.

When I tried to break the contract and leave the film "The Woe-maker", because James Franco is a sex maniac, they tried to bribe me with a big role. I cried and told them that wasn't what I wanted. I just didn't feel safe working with a sexy fucking maniac! And they all smoothed the corners: they said that Franco behaved like this last year, and now he apologized. At the same time, in the same week, I heard about his new bullying of women," Yi said.

Charlene also accused Seth Rogan, who was one of the producers of "The Would-be Creator," of covering for James Franco and helping him avoid responsibility for indecent behavior. The actress also clarified that Franco has been hunting not only women, but also children for many years.

White people say it's not their responsibility to hold Franco, Rogan, and their associates accountable for what they did. Then whose responsibility is it? Women and children who suffer from PTSD after being harassed by Franco? White people are very childish when it comes to sacrificing their superiority, because they don't really care,

Charlene added.

Yi added that rapists and their accomplices always use special tactics of psychological violence, which has serious consequences for the victims: they often lose their sense of reality and think about suicide.

Recall that the first allegations of sexual harassment fell on James Franco back in 2018. Then five students of Franco's acting school accused him of inappropriate behavior during classes and filming sex scenes, and also said that he offered them roles in his films in exchange for sex. Later, the alleged victims of the actor made a class-action lawsuit against him, while representatives of Franco to this day continue to deny his involvement in the sex scandal.

Interestingly, in the same 2018, Charlene Yi made her first loud statement. Then she accused Marilyn Manson of sexual harassment. She told how the musician once came to the set of "Dr. House" and began to molest the girl.
