Alleged Misconduct
James Franco's alleged attempt to hook up with a 17-year-old girl is a disturbing revelation that has left many questioning his intentions.
The 17-year-old girl, Lucy Clode, met Franco outside the stage door to Broadway's "Of Mice and Men", where he was starring with Chris O'Dowd.
Franco initiated a flirtatious exchange via Instagram and text messages, which was later leaked online.
He allegedly asked Clode to meet up at a hotel room, despite knowing her age.
The exchange was so brazen that Clode asked Franco to write her name and take a selfie to prove he was indeed James Franco.
Franco complied with her request, but also asked her not to tell anyone about their exchange.
Clode ultimately decided not to meet up with Franco, stating "I'll come back when I'm 18."
The leaked exchange has left many wondering if Franco's intentions were genuine or just a publicity stunt.
