Scarlett Johansson called out James Franco at the Women’s March in LA on Saturday for wearing a Time’s Up pin to the Golden Globes.
Just a few days after the actor won a Golden Globe for Best Actor, five women accused the actor of sexual misconduct in a Los Angeles Times exposé.
Speaking to a crowd of over 500,000 people at the Women’s March in LA yesterday, Scarlett asked James to give back the Time’s Up pin.
“How could a person publicly stand by an organisation that helps to provide support for victims of sexual assault while privately preying on people who have no power?” she fumed, before adding, “I want my pin back, by the way.”

Although Scarlett didn’t name James on stage, a representative for the actress later confirmed to The Los Angeles Times that she was indeed talking him.
The news comes after it was reported that James will attended the 2018 SAG Awards, despite the fact that he’s in the midst of a sex scandal.
