I Saw Francis Ford Coppola ‘Leer’ at 13-Year-Girl—Then Kiss Her
Photo Illustration by The Daily Beast/Lionsgate/GettyLegendary director Francis Ford Coppola, 85, is facing allegations he “leered” at a 13-year-old girl and then kissed her on the set of his flop movie Megalopolis.A witness has come forward to tell the Daily Beast he saw Coppola compliment the teenager on her outfit, ask how old she was, then kiss her, while filming in Fayetteville, Georgia, on Feb. 13 last year.The accusation comes after video footage showing the Godfather director kissing extras on set was revealed by Variety. A female actress who was seen being kissed by Coppola said she was “in shock” at what happened, but kept her “mouth shut” at the time. Executive producer Darren Demetre defended the director, claiming the kissing was to “establish the spirit of the scene.” Coppola has filed a libel suit against Variety over the article’s claim he’d behaved unprofessionally and called the reporting “false, reckless and irresponsible.” He’s seeking $15 million in damages from the suit.Read more at The Daily Beast.
