Alison Brie Talks Allegations Against Brother-In-Law James Franco At SAG Awards

Alison Brie addressed the sexual misconduct allegations waged against her brother-in-law James Franco during a red carpet interview at the 2018 Screen Actors Guild Awards , saying that anyone who feels victimized should and does have the right to speak out and come forward.

E! News Giuliana Rancic brought up the Times Up movement that has dominated the Golden Globes and noted Bries support of it. Rancic then said because the movement is so heavily dependent on transparency, she wanted to know Bries thoughts on the allegations against Franco.

I think that above all, what weve always said is it remains vital that anyone that feels victimized should and does have the right to speak out and come forward. I obviously support my family, Brie said.

Not everything that has been reported is fully accurate, so I think were waiting to get all the information. But of course now is the time for listening and thats what were all trying to do.

The 35-year-old actress is married to Dave Franco, younger brother of James Franco. Earlier this month, the Los Angeles Times reported that five women came forward with accusations of inappropriate or sexually exploitative behavior against the elder Franco.

Franco was accused by four actresses who were students in his acting classes and a filmmaker who considered him a mentor. Two former students say he stormed off a movie set when no women would undress unnecessarily for a scene while another said that Franco made it clear that his female students could only further their careers if we were to perform sexual acts or take off our shirts. Filmmaker Violet Paley told the LA Times she was pressured into performing oral sex on Franco.

I feel there was an abuse of power, and there was a culture of exploiting non-celebrity women, and a culture of women being replaceable, said one accuser.
