The two are longtime friends and frequent collaborators in multiple projects. Franco was outed in 2014 for trying to pick up a 17-year-old fan via Instagram DM, and was the subject of a sexual misconduct lawsuit filed by two former students at his now-defunct acting school. Five women, including the two who filed the suit, accused him in 2018 of inappropriate and sexually exploitative behavior on set.

Talking to The Sunday Times, Seth Rogan said “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.”

In 2018, Rogan was asked if he would continue working with James Franco after the allegations were made public. Rogan had said then that he would continue to collaborate with Franco, citing that being “a dude” and a friend, his perspective was different.

He was then asked if the decision had affected his friendship with Franco, to which Rogan said that it had, however, he refused to give more details.
