I have a date to meet him at the Ace Hotel.”
EW has reached out to reps for both Rogen and Franco.
The pair and three other womenclaimed Franco had abused his position of power and engaged in sexual exploitation.
Shortly after the social media allegations were made, Franco appeared onThe Late Show with Stephen Colbertdenying the allegations.
So, I don’t want to shut them down in any way.
It’s a good thing and I support it," Franco said at the time.
“I don’t know if I can define that right now during this interview.
But not as painful and difficult as it is for a lot of other people involved.
I have no pity for myself in this situation.”
