James Franco's Lawyer Responds to Lawsuit from Former Students

James Franco‘s lawyer is responding after a lawsuit was filed alleging that students at the actor’s acting school were sexually exploited.

It seems the 41-year-old actor’s legal team is confident that he will be victorious in the lawsuit. He also plans on seeking damages from the plaintiffs, i.e. his former students.

“This is not the first time that these claims have been made and they have already been debunked,” attorney Michael Plonsker said in a statement to THR. “We have not had an opportunity to review the ill-informed Complaint in depth since it was leaked to the press before it was filed and our client has yet to even be served. James will not only fully defend himself, but will also seek damages from the plaintiffs and their attorneys for filing this scurrilous publicity seeking lawsuit.”
