Twitter Controversy
On January 7th, 2017, Paley took to her twitter to oust Franco over the hypocrisy of him wearing the #timesup pin to represent the end of sexual abuse predominantly against women.
Paley revealed that Franco allegedly sexually harassed and abused her by grabbing her head and forcing it into his penis while inside of car.
She also went on to reveal in the same tweet that Franco also flirted with Paley's 17 year-old friend and asked her to come back to the hotel with him - this is after he had been caught trying to do the same with another 17 year old girl online.
Paley revealed in a tweet that she and Franco dated so things were difficult to say as things were consensual between them.
yet, according to Paley, in another tweet, there will be more information about other incidents involving Franco that will be shared with the world once they are justly ready to be presented.
