VIDEO : Busy Philipps Says James Franco Assaulted Her On 'Freaks and Geeks' Set

Busy Philipps says James Franco assaulted her in an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, "This Will Only Hurt a Little." She said Franco threw her on the ground and told her to never touch him again while filming Freaks and Geeks. Business Insider reports she landed flat on her back with the wind knocked out of her. Philipps wrote Franco was a "f---ing bully" during their time on set between 1999 and 2000. Franco apologized the next day, according to the book, after being ordered to do so by the director and producers but he was never punished for his behavior and continued to work without consequence.
