    I honestly think the nuance of it is too personal for me to get into right now. It is a very personal thing. There’s the public-facing side of it, which I’ve spoken about, and I have the same stance publicly that I’ve had, and I think the proof is in the pudding — I have not worked with him in years. But the personal side of it is just so nuanced, and it involves people that I don’t know if I should be dragging into this. I don’t know what I would benefit from getting deeply into it. Nothing has changed since the last time I talked about all this, and I haven’t worked with him in a really long time and I have no plans to.

    That is a weak ass answer. He doesn’t benefit from getting deep into it? If he knows something he should speak up regardless what he gains or looses from it.

      Why do you think he “knows something”? If there’s anything that would be of interest to authorities that they don’t know yet, he should talk to them, not the media.

      Right to be skeptical with this class of people but I think from this is that he wont speak for others which is fair. Its likely he knows people Franco was abusive to but its not hisplace to air that publicly.

      There is also a distinction with supporting and backing the victims and taking action and broadcasting the efforts or consequences in interviews.

        I think its the duty of everybody to report crimes. (Depending on the crime, but sexual misconduct is absolutely in that category) when they have knowledge of them. That of course is different than talking about it in a talkshow but I bet he didn’t report thrm either.

        Support is one thing, public support is absolutely mandatory especially in entertainment. I think he needs to report it an be a witness if necessary.

        This may be a radical approach to some people but for me this is basic human decency.

        Edit: he doesn’t need to name people to support them. But he can absolutely name the perpetrator. And i read it such as he is sure that Franco did things.
