An initial agreement was reached Saturday in the 2019 sexual misconduct lawsuit against actor James Franco filed by students claiming he created an “orgy type setting” in his fimmaking classes.
Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal, who are former students of Franco s Studio 4 in Los Angeles, have agreed to drop the civil lawsuit and their claims of sexual misconduct pending final approval of the settlement, according to FOX News.
The two sides filed joint status reports on Feb. 11, but word of the pending deal was announced Saturday by the plantiffs attorneys. There was no immediate comment from Franco s lawyers or partners at Studio 4, which he operated from 2014 to 2017.
