Recently accusation have been raised against the actor who you have most likely seen in films such as the iconic 'Spider-Man' or you may have seen him in 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' as he was also featured in that. This actor is 39 year old James Franco. Franco has recently come under some controversy regarding sexual assault claims against the popular actor.
Actress Violet Paley, known for films such as 'Pink Zone' and 'Chipped', claimed that Franco once sexually assaulted her and tried to lure a 17 year old back to his hotel room as well as other 17 year old girls.
Franco wasn't the only celebrity to come under the spotlight, a whole range of other celebrities were under fire, including American singer-songwriter & a contestant on 2012's 'The Voice' an American television vocal talent show, Melanie Martinez, 22. Martinez was accused of raping her former best friend. Another star being Sylvester Stallone, 71, who has been accused of sexually assaulting a 16 year old when he was 40 years old while he was filming Over the Top in Las Vegas in 1986. Kevin Spacey, 58, has also been accused of having sex with a girl who was only 14 years old. Harvey Weinstein, 65, could also definitely be mentioned since more than 50 women have made allegations against Harvey Weinstein and the number continues to grow each day.
Although the accusations didn't go unnoticed, twitter blew up with the hashtag '#timesup' being used by the community as well as celebrities such as Katy Perry joining in on the movement, even Ivanka Trump posted a tweet supporting Oprah's speech at the Golden Globes.
Badges were even made to support the times up act, but that caused controversy as James Franco was seen wearing a #timesup badge so people were really not happy with his hypocrisy. The Golden Globes ceremony were really trying to raise awareness of sexual harassment by also inviting all attendees to wear black attire as a show of support for victims of sexual abuse and harassment. This movement definitely made its impact at the Golden Globes, dominating the telecast and social media.
