On April 10, Macedo used her Instagram platform to address the situation to her 65k followers. Using the typography feature of the app, Macedo first thanked Yi for her speaking out against Franco. Then, she stated her own personal experience.
She said that she was starring in an ensemble movie opposite him made in 2016 and that it was one of the most toxic, abusive sets she has ever been on. She continued she was shaking while writing the post as she still suffered from PTSD from the experience and from fear of retaliation from the producers.
Further, she said that the allegations of abuse were from 2014, and her experience was two years from it, alluding to how this is a pattern for Franco.
Many people have rallied to show the actress their support, including personalities like Anna Akana, who has commented, “Love you, proud of you, and here for you baby girl.”
In the captions for the post, Macedo thanked Yi again for giving her the strength to speak up regarding the issue and highlighted how she mainly had the same producers that were involved in The Disaster Artist.
