After a year of dodging questions about it, Maggie Gyllenhaal has finally addressed sexual assault allegations against 'The Deuce' co-star James Franco. Maggie, in an interview with  SiriusXM radio, declared that all women on the set of her HBO show felt respected around Franco and that it would be unfair to end the show because of the matter of allegation - or five. She said, "We, at the time that the accusations against James came out in the LA Times, we read them all, we took them very seriously,” Gyllenhaal said, "We spoke to every woman on the crew and in the cast to find out if they felt respected and what their experience of working with James was and everyone said that they had been totally respected by him."
