'He wasn't trying to get with anybody' — TheDeuce co-creator David Simon talks sexual misconduct allegations against James Franco and why the actor was allowed to remain on the series
was also aware that the lion’s share of the real, aggressive, meaningful reporting on this stuff had been done by. They were the ones who were delivering real, solid, fundamental journalism, about real offenders who were using their positions to obtain sex, and misusing women in that fundamental way. So the newspaper that ostensibly is in the entertainment industry’s backyard is being left behind, and they committed to a story that they then didn’t successfully achieve.
How would you compare the allegations against James to the larger themes you’ve written about throughout your career about how those in power can abuse and exploit those who don’t have any? Of course, everything I’m saying here calls out for industry standards, for unions to assert for those standards to be observed and for management to commit to the dynamic.
Why would Franco be so indifferent or oblivious? Well, for one thing, he’s spent a lot of years being about as extroverted and public a figure as one can imagine; his own boundaries with regard to self-exposure are pretty damn minimal. He’s also blandly comfortable with, if not entirely engaged by, themes of adult sexuality; IMDb says as much. There’s a reason we cast him in this piece.
You’re right, I told Franco, but I don’t think any actor will want to have themselves so directly associated with that imagery and I can scarcely blame them. While all of us on one side of the camera will know it isn’t the actual anatomy of anyactor engaged in intercourse, the net effect on the viewer is very different. Franco asked if he could at least talk to the actors involved and get a sense of their feelings on the matter.
