Franco, asked about the tweets by Stephen Colbert on Tuesday, denied any wrongdoing.

“Look, in my life I pride myself on taking responsibility for things that I have done,” he said. “I have to do that to maintain my well being. The things that I heard that were on Twitter are not accurate. But I completely support people coming out and being able to have a voice because they didn’t have a voice for so long. So I don’t want to shut them down in any way.”

“If I have done something wrong,” he continued, “I will fix it — I have to.”
