James Franco Sued
for Alleged Sexual Exploitation The lawsuit was filed in
Los Angeles, California, on Thursday
by two former students of
Franco's acting school, Studio 4. According to the claim, Studio 4 intended
to "create a steady stream of young women
to objectify and exploit, [and was] designed to
circumvent California's 'pay for play' regulations." CA regulations make it illegal
to have to pay for an audition.
The 'Sex Scenes' classes named
in the suit cost $750. Toni Gaal, Former Studio 4 Student, via 'NPR News' The suit seeks unspecified damages,
an apology from Franco and the
destruction of all their class videos. Attorney Michael Plonsker, via 'NPR News' Following a similar allegation in
