One of James Franco‘s accusers is willing to forgive him if he publicly owns up to the sexual misconduct she says she experienced on a movie set.
Sarah Tither-Kaplan tells TMZ, “I don’t hate James. I still have love for him.” She’s reacting to Franco’s Critics’ Choice Awards victory Thursday night … a ceremony he skipped because, as we first reported … he’s despondent over multiple allegations against him.
Sarah says she doesn’t begrudge Franco’s success, and, in fact, says she would’ve been shocked if he didn’t win — but adds he still needs to accept responsibility and apologize. In fact, she believes he’ll be totally forgiven if he does.
Hey James Franco, nice #timesup pin at the #GoldenGlobes , remember a few weeks ago when you told me the full nudity you had me do in two of your movies for $100/day wasn’t exploitative because I signed a contract to do it? Times up on that!

You’ll recall, she accused Franco of exploiting her for nude scenes in a movie, and also of removing genital guards off other actresses — not her — during an orgy scene in the film.
Sarah does think Franco’s benefiting from “the privilege of being young, white and pretty” — meaning the public believes him more than say, Harvey Weinstein, because James is good looking.
