Over the years, Franco has been at the center of numerous sexual misconduct allegations.<br />In April 2021, Charlyne Yi accused Rogen of enabling Franco’s predatory behavior on the set of ‘The Disaster Artist.’<br />Rogen recently spoke to ‘The Sunday Times’ about his current relationship with Franco.<br />He addressed Yi’s accusations, saying he would never “knowingly put someone in a situation” with an abuser.<br />"What I can say is that I despise abuse and harassment and I would never cover or conceal the actions of someone doing it, or knowingly put someone in a situation where they were around someone like that." Seth Rogen, to 'The Sunday Times'.<br />He also expressed “regret” over a 2014 ‘SNL’ sketch he did that joked about Franco messaging an underage girl.<br />"I do look back at a joke I made on Saturday Night Live in 2014 and I very much regret making that joke. It was a terrible joke, honestly." Seth Rogen, to 'The Sunday Times'.<br />Rogen went on to say that he has not worked with Franco since ‘The Disaster Artist’ and “[does] not plan to” work with him in the future.<br />He also confirmed that the demise of their working relationship was intentional and “not a coincidence.” <br />"No. It is not a coincidence … I don’t know if I can define [our personal relationship] right now during this interview. I can say it, um, you know, it has changed many things in our relationship and our dynamic." Seth Rogen, to 'The Sunday Times'.
