From his earliest work in Hollywood on the set of the cult TV show Freaks & Geeks, accusations swirled about James Franco, at one point even exploding & physically lashing out at his co-star Busy Philipps. As JF’s celebrity star rose, James Franco’s behaviour & the stories from his sets became even darker. For years when women would come forward about James Franco’s behaviour & levy allegations against him, there would be enormous coordinations to keep the accusations hidden & out of the media. But in 2018, at the absolute height of his career, everything changed & James Franco’s horrendous unforgivable behaviour was finally exposed. And the spark that began the fire that torched James Franco’s career, was James Franco’s own enormous ego. So that’s what we’ll be discussing today, James Franco & the avalanche of allegations against him from many women & teenage girls. And James Franco’s appalling behaviour wasn’t just reserved to sets, with Franco even having to settle a lawsuit for millions of dollars with his former college students. We’ll also covering the repercussions of James Franco’s behaviour and how it effected his friendship and decade long collaborator, Seth Rogen. Franco & Rogen were a beloved duo, but James Franco’s expulsion from Hollywood has resulted in Rogen allegedly cutting James Franco off personally & professionally, with some people praising Seth Rogen for making and following through with a difficult decision, while others are criticising Seth Rogen for abandoning his & questioning just how much Seth Rogen knew about his former friend.

Ashton Kutcher & Mila Kunis have had successful television & film careers for over 25 years, starting their careers playing a fictional couple Michael Kelso & Jackie Burkhart respectively on That 70’s show. But after making it to the A List & making an absolute fortune, in September 2023, they experienced one of the most talked about downfalls in Hollywood history & all because of their own actions related to their That 70's Show co star & best friend, Danny Masterson. They thought their behaviour would remain secret & the public wouldn't find out. But what a lot of people don’t know about Ashton Kutcher & Mila Kunis is that there are a lot more extremely questionable actions that they HAVE kept covered up & secret for years, esp when it comes to the company that has spent almost two decades laundering Ashton & Mila's reputation, the charity Thorn, a charity that allegedly helps exploited children, well... that’s what Ashton & Mila claim anyway. But there is so MUCH MORE to Thorn than most people know, including strong personal & financial ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, Danny Masteron & Sean Combs/ P Diddy, via Thorn's investments & Ashton Kutcher's friendships. There's also a LOT more to discuss with the plethora of other businesses Ashton Kutcher is involved with, a few successful, many bonfires of cash but all with questions surrounding them. Along with a deep dive into Thorn & Kutcher's other businesses, we'll also be diving into their allegedly failing expensive & extensive mega PR strategy, which they’ve been using to desperately try & claw back any shred of positive public opinion, & they've now become so desperate, they are doing things they swore they never would. So sit back, relax & let’s dive into the decay, the business & downfall of Hollywood’s most controversial  couples, Ashton Kutcher & Mila Kunis.VIDEO VERSION: https://youtu.be/TA9CTuZcnDk THANK YOU so much for watching & let me know your thoughts in the comments!SOURCES: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QtpuiChRZxQNGQwkhadyy6fI3p8oCFLuhDRT9ZnsyB0/edit?usp=sharingBacon is My PodcastPassions, escapes, life goals and the things in life that make it tasty.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifyTHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING!
