The actress – best known for her roles in the 1980s hits The Breakfast Club and St Elmo’s Fire – alluded to Franco’s alleged involvement in her decision to leave the entertainment industry.
She also included #MeToo in a tweet referencing Franco and Christian Slater but did not make specific claims against either man.

‘Why is a man hosting? Why is James Franco allowed in? Said too much. Nite love ya #goldenglobes,’ Sheedy, 55, tweeted.
Sheedy then wrote: ‘Ok wait. Bye. Christian Slater and James Franco at a table on @goldenglobes #MeToo.’
Then a third tweet came following his Best Actor win: ‘James Franco just won. Please never ask me why I left the film/tv business’.
Since being posted, the tweets have been deleted.
Sheedy and Franco, 39, worked together in 2014 in the play ‘The Long Shrift’, which was the actor’s off-Broadway directorial debut.
In a profile in The New York Times about the play, Sheedy hugged Franco in front of the reporter and called him ‘a beautiful, generous man’.

Sheedy is not the only person to call out Franco’s past. Back in 2014, a questionable Instagram exchange that the-then-35-year-old actor (pictured at the Golden Globes on Sunday) had with a teenager also started making the round on social media

Sheedy is not the only person to call out Franco’s past. Back in 2014, a questionable Instagram exchange that the actor had with a teenager also started making the round on social media.
On ‘Live with Kelly and Michael’, Franco made an appearance and admitted that he had engaged in a flirtatious exchange with a girl who was then 17. At the time, Franco was 35.
‘I guess I’m, you know, embarrassed, and I guess I’m just a model of how social media is tricky,’ he said at the time.
Chalking up his actions to ‘bad judgment’, Franco concluded: ‘In my position, not only do I have to go through the embarrassing rituals of meeting someone, but sometimes it gets published for the world.’
