Well, this is juicy.
According to this, Ally Sheedy (who you may remember from such things as being the weird chick with a lot of dandruff in The Breakfast Club), went on a little Twitter storm last night during the Golden Globes. Check this out.
Apparently, Ally and James worked together a few years ago on a play called “The Long Shrift.” And in a promo piece in the NYT about the play, Ally called James a “beautiful, generous man” and gave him a hug in front of the reporter.
Fast forward to last night’s tweets, and….Whizzah Whuzzah?
If you have something to say, Ally, then say it and own it. Otherwise, what’s the point?
By the way, she’s not the first person to accuse (or sort of accuse, in this case) James Franco of questionable conduct. James admitted to having a flirtatious text exchange with a 17 year old girl when he was 35. He said it was bad judgment on his part, and remarked, “I guess I’m, you know, embarrassed, and I guess I’m just a model of how social media is tricky.”
So who knows. Perhaps James Franco is a skeeze. This is Hollywood, after all. But it’s pretty ridiculous for Ally Sheedy to tweet stuff like that and then delete it.
Here’s another interesting tidbit. Ally Sheedy also retweeted a series of tweets from Dylan Farrow (who has long accused Woody Allen of sexual abuse.) Check these out:
It’s #GoldenGlobes Sunday. Four years ago, at the Globes in 2014, Woody Allen was awarded the Cecil B. DeMille award for lifetime achievement. Four years ago I decided enough was enough and wrote an open letter detailing the abuse I sustained at the hands of Woody Allen. /1

I thought it would make a difference. I thought things would change. I learned quickly (and painfully) that my optimism was misplaced. His time wasn’t up. /2

Today, four years later, it is Globes Sunday again and many, if not most, will be wearing black on the red carpet in solidarity with the #TIMESUP movement. They will stand against sexual harassment and abuse in their industry and all others. Good. I stand with them. #metoo /3

But I have to wonder – is time really up now? Is this really the turning point? I have no doubt it can be. I have no doubt the time is right. But in order for things to meaningfully change, they need to change unequivocally. /4

No predator should be spared by virtue of their “talent” or “creativity” or “genius.” No rock should be left unturned. The principles of the movement need to be applied consistently and without exemption. /5

I will be watching tonight with a very different feeling than I had at this time four years ago. I will watch with optimism, with hope, and with the firm belief that there is a brighter future ahead. And I will watch to see if now, finally, time is up for my predator too. /6 end.

Ally Sheedy responded to those with this:
@realdylanfarrow You are the Pioneer and Brave w/ it all on line. Anyone can wear black. You Are Rainbow. TY

And then came the Franco tweets.
Thoughts?
