Actress Ashley Judd, one of the most prominent figures in the Me Too movement after she accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment, praised actor James Franco for his response to the recent sexual misconduct allegations leveled against him. In an interview with BBC’s Stephen Sackur released Friday, Judd called the fellow actor’s handling of the matter “terrific” and praised his “culpability.”“I think that what James said is terrific. And I think that we’ve all behaved — at a certain level — unconsciously, and done things that were insensitive, inappropriate, without necessarily understanding that they were,” she said. “I mean we’ve all operated with a certain amount of tone-deafness, and I like the culpability.”Franco has become the latest celebrity to become entangled in a sexual misconduct scandal. Five women have come forward alleging sexual misconduct by the actor.
