Uh-oh: During the filming of Megalopolis, 85-year-old Francis Ford Coppola...:

allegedly pulled women to sit on his lap, for example. And during one bacchanalian nightclub scene being shot for the film, witnesses say, Coppola came on to the set and tried to kiss some of the topless and scantily clad female extras. He apparently claimed he was "trying to get them in the mood".

Variety: "Video of Francis Ford Coppola Kissing Megalopolis Extras Surfaces as Crew Members Detail Unprofessional Behavior on Set":

Video has surfaced of director Francis Ford Coppola that shows the legendary director trying to kiss young female extras on the set of his ambitious sci-fi epic.

The filmmaker kept leaping up to hug and kiss several women, often inadvertently inserting himself into the shot and ruining it

Coppola got on a microphone and announced in earshot of everyone in the room, "Sorry, if I come up to you and kiss you. Just know it's solely for my pleasure."

Coppola's team provided two on the record statements from people involved with the production. [...] "Francis walked around the set to establish the spirit of the scene by giving kind hugs and kisses on the cheek to the cast and background players. It was his way to help inspire and establish the club atmosphere, which was so important to the film."

"Because Coppola funded it there was no HR department to keep things in check," says a second source. "Who were they supposed to talk to? Complain to Coppola and report Coppola to himself?”
