James Franco and associated parties will reportedly pay a settlement of $2,235,000 to resolve a lawsuit alleging that the actor coerced acting students into performing explicit sex scenes on camera.
The proposed deal is being put to a Los Angeles judge for approval, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Tither-Kaplan originally shared her allegations of sexual misconduct against Franco along with other women in the Los Angeles Times after Franco won a Golden Globe Award in early 2018.
The lawsuit first came about in October 2020 when two former acting students of Franco’s, Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal, alleged that they and other students at Studio 4 Film School in New York and Los Angeles had been victims of fraud.
