Entertainment: Francis Ford Coppola speaks out on allegations of ‘inappropriate conduct’

Entertainment: Director Francis Ford Coppola, best known for making the films The Godfather, has been accused of behaving inappropriately on the set of his new film, Megalopolis, starring Adam Driver. Coppola has responded to the allegations by saying he is ‘not an effeminate person’.

Speaking to the New York Times, Film Producer said, “My mother told me that if you make advances towards a woman, it means you disrespect her, and the girls I had a crush on, I definitely did not disrespect them.” When asked about a photo that is being widely circulated on the internet in which he is seen kissing a ‘girl’, the director said that the photo is ‘

The girl’s father’. Coppola also told the NYT that “I’m not that sentimental. I’m very shy.”

In a previous report by The Guardian, it was stated that unnamed crew members who worked on Megalopolis said Coppola had discussed the subject with them. Abuse “Several sources also felt that Coppola may have been ‘old school’ in his dealings with women. For example, he allegedly pulled women over to sit on his lap. And while shooting a boozy nightclub scene for the film, witnesses say, Coppola came on set and tried to kiss some of the topless and scantily clad female extras,” The Guardian reported.
