James Franco and Izabel Pakzad see a future together, but they're not in a rush to walk down the aisle.
in the 2019 lawsuit by former students at his now-defunct Studio 4 acting school, agreeing to pay $2,235,000. The suit was filed by two women who accused Franco of creating an environment of harassment and sexual exploitation. Franco's attorney, Michael Plonsker, denied the claims in a previous statement to ET.
"So, I've just been doing a lot of work," he continued."And I guess I'm pretty confident in saying like, four years, you know? And, I was in recovery before, you know, for substance abuse. And there were some issues that I had to deal with that were also related to addiction. And so I've really used my recovery background to kind of start examining this and changing who I was.
In that same interview, Franco revealed being in recovery for sex addiction since 2016 and also acknowledged cheating on all of his past partners prior to Pakzad. "It's such a powerful drug. And I, I got hooked on it for 20 more years," he said."And the insidious part of that is that I stayed sober from alcohol all that time. And I went to meetings, you know, all that time. I even tried to, you know, to sponsor other people. And so in my head, it was like, 'Oh, I'm sober. I'm living a spiritual life.’ Where on the side, I'm acting out now in all these other ways. And I couldn't see it.
"I'd had girlfriends," he continued."I could never be faithful to anybody. So I cheated. I cheated on everyone before [Izabel] and [my sponsor's] like, 'Look, the cheating is dishonest. I don't think that's good for your sobriety, but if you're not dating someone and you wanna go and hook up, like whatever happens between two consenting adults is fine.’ Like, that's what he said.
