Busy Philipps Shared Her Feelings About Seth Rogen Saying He Wouldn't Work With James Franco Anymore

"I wouldn’t want to work with someone who has multiple allegations of predatory behavior."

You know Busy Philipps from a bunch of things — and you probably know she was in the beloved TV comedy Freaks and Geeks.

Philipps starred alongside actors like Seth Rogen and James Franco — and you might remember that Rogen recently said he'd no longer work with Franco after numerous sexual misconduct allegations.

During a recent appearance on The Last Laugh podcast, Busy — whose 2018 memoir This Will Only Hurt a Little also addressed Franco physically assaulting her on the set of Freaks and Geeks — was asked about her thoughts on Rogen's recent statements regarding his relationship with Franco.

"I have to say, I mean, it’s interesting," she replied. "They were super close and they had a very tight relationship."

Philipps went on to specify that she didn't "have any information" before remarking, "Seth is married to a very fucking smart woman."

Philipps also said "I guess I was surprised" that Rogen distanced himself from Franco, clarifying that "I didn’t work with James past age 20, so I can only speak to the horrible behavior I experienced" while also acknowledging that the allegations Franco has faced "[seem] very believable."

"I can’t speculate on their friendship," she continued, "but I wouldn’t want to work with someone who has multiple allegations of predatory behavior."
