James Franco will pay a more than $2 million in a settlement in connection to a sexual assault lawsuit.

That's according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Two women who took acting classes from Franco filed a lawsuit in 2019 saying he made them take part in explicit sex scenes during class and exploited them financially and sexually.

Franco denies the allegations.
