Alison Brie is standing by James Franco.

The GLOW actress defended her brother-in-law amid allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior during an interview with E!'s Giuliana Rancic prior to the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday.

"I think that above all what we've always said is that it remains vital that anyone who feels victimized should and does have the right to speak out and come forward," Brie said. "I obviously support my family, and not everything that's been reported is fully accurate, so I think we're waiting to get all the information. But of course now is the time for listening, and that's what we're all trying to do."

James Franco Accused of Inappropriate Sexual Behavior by Five Women

Earlier this month, five women accused Franco, who is nominated for a SAG Award for his performance in The Disaster Artist, of inappropriate or exploitative behavior in a Los Angeles Times report. The allegations surfaced after Franco was seen wearing a Time's Up pin at the Golden Globes. He did not attend last week's Critics' Choice Awards, where he took home the award for best actor in a comedy.
