This Was Awkward: Alison Brie is Asked About James Franco...

Alison Brie could not fully celebrate her achievements at the 2018 SAG Awards on Sunday night.


The actress was nominated for her fantastic role in the Netflix series GLOW, while the comedy itself was nominated as well for a cast ensemble award.


But Brie was forced to address a certain controversy surrounding her family before she entered the Shrine Auditorium.



As you"ve likely read about by now, James Franco has been accused of sexual misconduct by five different women.


In one instance, an alleged victim claims Franco pulled his penis out in front of her; in another, an alleged victim claims he removed the cloth over her vagina for an oral sex scene that was being filmed.


Pretty heinous stuff, if true.


Brie, meanwhile, is married to Franco"s brother, Dave.


So she has a personal stake in this scandal.


Therefore, E!"s Giuliana Rancic simply had to ask the actress for her thoughts on the SAG Awards red carpet.


“What we’ve always said is that it remains vital that anyone who feels victimized should and does have the right to speak out and come forward,” replied Brie, adding:


 “I obviously support my family and not everything that’s been reported is fully accurate, so I think we’re waiting to get all the information.


"But, of course, now is a time for listening and that’s what we’re all trying to do.”



Franco is reportedly in a very bad place as a result of these accusations.


But not many people out there have sympathy for him.


At the Women"s March over the weekend, for example, Scarlett Johansson went right after her fellow A-Lister.


"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 star said at a podium in Los Angeles, concluding with anger:


"I want my pin back by the way."


Her rep later confirmed that Johansson was talking about Franco.



The actor"s lawyer has denied all accusations against his client.


But it"s safe to assume this story is not going away any time soon.

Alison Brie and Dave Franco: MARRIED!

Dave Franco is officially part of Alison Brie’s community.


According to reps for both the actress and the actor, Franco and Brie recently exchanged vows after several years of dating, although details on the wedding remain under wraps.



We can’t say for certain when it took place… or where it took place… or who was in attendance… or even who designed Brie’s dress.


We can say, however, that Brie likely looked gorgeous while walking down the aisle because, well, just look at Alison Brie!


When has she ever not looked gorgeous?!?


Franco, the brother of James Franco, met Brie way back in 2011 during a Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans.


The stars then announced their engagement in August of 2015, as Franco presented Brie with a special ring designed by Southern California jewelry designer Irene Neuwirth.


Source told People Magazine that it was a rose gold sparkler set with a rose-cut diamond and a diamond pave. Sounds lovely!



“I’m not very bridal, instinctually,” Brie admitted to Yahoo! Style last February, adding:


“Marriage never really interested me, I guess, because I was very focused on my work. I wasn’t sure if I really saw the point to it. I bought a dress on Net-a-Porter, and I’m like, ‘Maybe I’ll wear that."”


So then why did she agree to become Franco’s wife?


“I just met that person that I was like, ‘Well, I’m really in love with you and would like to grow old with you,"” she explained in this same interview.


“I actually think it’s much more romantic when two people are like, ‘Oh, I could go either way on marriage, but I want to marry you."”


Brie is best known for her long-running role on Community and her occasional appearance as Pete Campbell’s wife on Mad Men.


Franco, meanwhile, has mostly stuck to movie roles; from 22 Jump Street to Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising to Now You See Me 2.



Franco and Brie also appear together in The Disaster Artist, which stars and is directed by Franco’s older brother, James.


It premiered over the weekend at the South by Southwest festival in Texas.


Said Franco last year to Entertainment Tonight, while thinking ahead to his nuptials:


“I don’t know if I’m gonna have a best man. I feel like when we do eventually get married, we’re not gonna do a lot of the traditions and we’re just gonna make it easy and who knows?


“We’re pretty lax about the whole thing. It’ll happen when it happens.” 


And now it’s happened!!!!


We send our very best wishes to the cute couple.
