Scarlett Johansson slams James Franco in Women's March, asks for her pin back

Scarlett Johansson calls out James Franco during her speech in Women's March amid reports that the actor is a perpetrator of sexual abuse.

Franco, who won Best Actor in Musical or Comedy for the movie "Disaster Artist" in the Golden Globes, was among the celebrities who wore a Time's Up pin to the event, in support of the anti-sexual harassment movement.

However, just hours after his win, several women came out to tell that his badge is an outright lie. Now Johansson wants their pin back.

Talking to thousands of crowd in Los Angeles, the "Avengers" star said,"My mind baffles -- how could a person publicly stand by an organization that helps to provide support for victims of sexual assault while privately preying on people who have no power."

The actress did not drop a name, but her representative later confirmed that she was referring to Franco, who is accused by at least five women of sexual harassment.

Johansson's statements did not sit well with a lot of people, however. Netizens started calling the 33-year-old actress a hypocrite after denouncing the award-winning actor, when she herself defended director Woody Allen from accusations of child abuse.

In 2014, Allen's estranged daughter, Dylan Farrow, accused the critically-acclaimed director of sexually abusing her when she was just 7 years old. Her brother, Ronan, supported her claims.

But in an interview with The Guardian, Johansson disregarded Farrow's open letter, saying "it's all guesswork." The actress and Allen have worked in several films in the past, including "Match Point," "Scoop," and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona."

Now, Johansson's words are coming back to haunt her. Netizens say that the accusations against both Franco and Allen are too similar for Johansson to side one person and slam the other.

In an article for Daily Mail, British host Piers Morgan also noted that Franco, who denies the allegations, has been neither prosecuted nor found guilty for his alleged offenses.

Allen, meantime, had been accused of "grossly inappropriate" behavior by a judge when he was first investigated of sexual abuse against Farrow, although he, too, has yet to be convicted.
