    Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal have agreed to drop their class-action lawsuit, alleging that Franco forced his students to perform explicit sex scenes on camera, after settling with the actor. Tither-Kaplan and Gaal also alleged that Franco led students to believe that roles in his films would become available to them if they followed along.
