James Franco Accuser Under Fire For Tweet About Ruining People’s Lives

January 12, 2018 | Posted by Joseph Lee

As we previously reported, James Franco has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, some of whom came forward after Franco won the Golden Globe for Best Actor this past Sunday. One of the accusers, a woman named Violet Paley, is taking heavy criticism for a tweet she wrote in September, in which she claimed to plot ways to ruin people’s lives. She wrote at the time:

Paley previously told the Los Angeles Times that she and Franco were in a consensual, sexual relationship, but one time in a car he pressured her to give him oral sex and forced her head onto his exposed penis. She claimed then that the “power dynamic was really off.” However now some have doubted her story in light of the tweet’s discovery.

Paley defended herself in a statement to TMZ. She said: “I use twitter to make jokes most of the time. It was clearly a joke. I’m sorry if I offended anyone and I think most people know it was a joke and the people milking it are Trump-like bot trolls so I’m not deleting it and letting their psychotic twist on a dumb joke win.

Franco continues to deny the allegations against him.
