James Franco had another uncomfortable late night interview, this time with Seth Meyers.

Meyers opened the chat by saying that many women had an issue with Franco wearing a Time's Up pin at the Golden Globes on Sunday, given their experiences with him. (This interview was taped before Thursday morning's bombshell Los Angeles Times story, where five women went on the record about their experiences with him.)

"The [tweets] I read were not accurate," Franco said. "But one of the things I've learned is that this is a conversation that obviously needs to be had. There are people, women and others, who have not been a part of this conversation. And I truly believe they need to be part of this conversation. So that's why I was wearing the pin and I support that."

Meyers, to his credit, pressed on, asking him about Ally Sheedy and what can be done now.
