I've been following along with Charlyne talking about this but this is the first time I remembered the connection of her having dated Michael Cera during some of this time. It was prior to all the stuff coming out about James Franco, but I just forgot how personally she probably knows some of these dudes.

Anyway, I've generally liked Seth Rogen but his involvement with James Franco and refusal to denounce him, not to mention directly making fun of the situation, definitely deserves to be called out. He needs to address it, but he should have done it a long time ago.

I remember her film with Cera and how she had a small part in one of Apatow's films. She definitely had a personal relationship with these people and she is super brave to call Franco and Rogen out.

Very disappointing, but not surprising.

I'm not surprised.

On the oz set, he came off as an arrogant dick. Probably best that he would go sulk off into a corner and read his book.

I fucking hate Seth Rogen, so now I feel vindicated.
