Actor James Franco, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women on Twitter, has denied the allegations. Popular host Stephen Colbert grilled the actor over the allegations that emerged after Franco's win at the Golden Globes.


Franco said allegations against him are untrue but he supports women for speaking out, reported Variety. "There were some things on Twitter, I haven't read them. I've heard about them," Franco said when asked about his response to the claims on Colbert's chat show.


"The things that I heard were on Twitter are not accurate, but I completely support people coming out and being able to have a voice because they didn't have a voice for so long. So I don't want to shut them down in any way, and I think it's a good thing and I support it," he told the 'Late Night' show host.


Actress Violet Paley accused Franco of attempting to force her to perform oral sex on him and telling a friend of hers to "come to (his) hotel when she was 17". Another woman, Sarah Tither-Kaplan, accused "The Disaster Artist" actor of exploiting her in a film she made for him.
