James Franco recently had to defend himself on Twitter, after a 17-year-old fan named Lucy Clode leaked a slew of rather flirtatious text messages online. The story is currently going viral on Mstars:

UPDATE: James Franco 'hits on teen fan' HOAX? Instagram 'flirting' with 17-year-old Lucy Clode scandal goes viral to promote new film 'Palo Alto?' [VIDEO]

Rumors suggest that "Pineapple Express" actor James Franco indulged in an inappropriate relationship with a young teenage fan - through networking.

But 35-year-old Franco insists that's just not true.

According to the (almost) 18-year-old "admirer" named Lucy Clode, Franco "hit her up" via text after she asked for his autograph. Photos of the suggestive text messages recently leaked online through Imgur:

  

Here's Clode's first "interaction" with Franco, documented on Instagram:

The exchange took place just recently in NYC, where Franco is performing on Broadway:

And to prove to Clode that he was the real James Franco, the star messaged this pic:

Clode also posted this video:

The story quickly went viral, and Franco was forced to respond:

@JamesFrancoTV: "I'M NOT! I HOPE PARENTS KEEP THEIR TEENS AWAY FROM ME. Thank you."

Apparently Franco was just showing one of his fans some love - but NOT in a sexual way!

Whatever "really" happened, several Twitter fans wish they could be part of the action:

@bbbbbsanchez: "James Franco asked a 17 year old girl to his hotel room, that should be me."

@charn_xox: "That 17 year old girl that rejected James Franco is dumbbbbb as hell."

@amandatrinhh: "UHM JAMES FRANCO TRIED TO HOOK UP WITH A 17 YEAR OLD GIRL IN NEW YORK WHERE WAS I FOR THIS."

@zenithtemplado: "That 17 year old girl that James Franco had apparently been messaging is so damn lucky."

@FountainOfGuth: "This girl didn't tell JAMES FRANCO WHERE SHE WAS WHAT AN IDIOT OMG."

@serymustafa: "Definitely not envious of the 17 year old girl who got chatted up by James Franco #yeahiam."

@Jord_Harries: "who gives a f*ck if James Franco wanted to shag a 17 year old... any other girl would die for that text... he's a god."

@kendra_matland: "that 17 year old that denied James Franco is so dumb, dear god ITS JAMES FRANCO."

@hayleypearcex: "so jealous of that girl. Could that happen to me? Has james franco given me false hope? A 17 year old from a lil town in Scotland? Me pls?"

@StarKidKelsey: "I just don't understand how a straight 17 year old girl denied an invite to a hotel room with James Franco. He can invite me if he wants."

Are these reactions sort of disturbing, or just downright entertaining (and true)?
