Despite Franco denying the allegations, Rogen made the decision to cut ties with his longtime collaborator.

In a recent interview with Variety, James Franco expressed his heartbreak over the situation, revealing that he hasn't spoken to Seth Rogen and acknowledging that their friendship seems to be over. Despite his attempts to reconcile, Franco seems to have accepted the reality of the situation.

End of an Era

James and Seth's friendship dates back to their early days in Hollywood, with collaborations on projects like Freaks and Geeks, Pineapple Express, and The Disaster Artist. However, the fallout over the allegations has brought an end to their 20-year-long friendship.
