Women accuse Morgan Freeman of inappropriate behavior, harassment
CNN ^ | 05-24-2018 | An Phung and Chloe Melas

Posted on 05/24/2018 8:22:28 AM PDT by Captain Peter Blood

(CNN)A young production assistant thought she had landed the job of her dreams when, in the summer of 2015, she started work on "Going In Style," a bank heist comedy starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Alan Arkin.

But the job quickly devolved into several months of harassment, she told CNN. She alleges that Freeman subjected her to unwanted touching and comments about her figure and clothing on a near-daily basis. Freeman would rest his hand on her lower back or rub her lower back, she said.

In one incident, she said, Freeman "kept trying to lift up my skirt and asking if I was wearing underwear." He never successfully lifted her skirt, she said -- he would touch it and try to lift it, she would move away, and then he'd try again. Eventually, she said, "Alan [Arkin] made a comment telling him to stop. Morgan got freaked out and didn't know what to say."

Freeman's alleged inappropriate behavior was not limited to that one movie set, according to other sources who spoke to CNN. A woman who was a senior member of the production staff of the movie "Now You See Me" in 2012 told CNN that Freeman sexually harassed her and her female assistant on numerous occasions by making comments about their bodies.

Well I have been wondering how long it would be till Morgan Freeman was named as a women's abuser.

Once I had respect for Freeman and thought he was a fine actor. Then he began to believe all his press clippings and I finally found him insufferable.

The kicker for me was when he was found out having some sort of affair with his Step-Granddaughter. I think he finally may have married her, not sure though. I just ended finding him another Hollywood Hypocrite and Liar.

Then we had Freeman speaking on his politics and that was enough for me to ban him totally. I can't and will not watch any films with him at all anymore.

So Morgan here you are, you made the mess and you can lie in it.

A common problem in Hollywood.

‘Hollywood Hypocrite and Liar’

Just another Liberal who likes having it it both ways

Use your ‘celebrity to slam people for inappropriate behavior while behaving like that yourself... sheesh

Freeman is a staunch democrat who bashes Trump incessantly

He utters a few morsels about working and folks think he’s all good

His business partner is a tort lawyer liberal in Clarksdale

This is how rural Dems operate in my home state....folksy

It ain’t Oakland

Is this woman the only one? Are there others on the set of the movie from 2015 who will back her up?

I don't ask these questions for lack of belief in what she says. If she is telling the truth she will have a long road ahead of her in order to be believed. The forces that will line up against her are ferocious and should not be taken lightly.

This is normal in Hollywood - and anywhere else people think they are elites not subject to the same boundaries of decency as the rest of us.
