Actor James Franco’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in LA, which he received back in 2013, has been vandalised with an obscene graffiti by someone.

DOUCHE! This is what was spotted on the upper left side of Franco’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame written with red colour. The interesting thing to note is that the entire word has been spelled in upper case, which clearly indicates the person’s strong hatred for the actor.

Many of you must be wondering about why a fine actor like Franco has been subjected to such a title from his ‘haters’ ?

Well, the answer lies in the fact that Franco is also said to be involved in the sexual harassment scandal that shook Hollywood in 2017.

The infamous Harveyn Weinstein scandal, which shocked the entire world of the sexual exploitation of women in the film industry, also included some other high profile names such as Kevin Spacey and Harvey’s own brother.

But much to everyone’s surprise, fans and media alike were shocked to know Franco’s involvement in the scandal as five women came forward to tell the world about their experience with Franco and called him no less than a sexual predator himself.

The controversy took place when Franco wore a Time’s Up batch at the Golden Globes, where he won for his performance in The Disaster Artist, which is an initiative for taking a stand against sexual harassment in Hollywood.

Franco got the attention of five women to be specific, who accused the 127 Hours actor of taking advantage of his position in Hollywood and making sexual advances towards them.

Three women’s claims were so strong that it cornered Franco as the fans as they started to question the actor’s multiple nominations for his film and urged film associations to cancel the nominations as he was called a sexual predator.

Interestingly, actor Violet Paley, who was in a consensual relationship with the actor, accused Franco of pressurising her into oral sex without her consent and making her uncomfortable.

Franco also addressed the allegations during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Franco said: “I have my own side of this story, but I believe in these people that have been underrepresented getting their stories out enough that I will hold back things that I could say, just because I believe in it that much,” he said. “So if I have to take a knock because I’m not going to try and actively refute things, then I will, because I believe in it that much,”

Since the allegations, Franco has received a major backlash from fans and some of his colleagues had maintained to keep a low profile by skipping numerous award shows.

On the work front, Franco will be next seen in the sci-fi action western film Future World, which is all set to release on May 25.
