Women accuse Morgan Freeman of inappropriate behavior, harassment
CNN ^ | May 24, 2018 | An Phung

(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. "He did comment on our bodies... We knew that if he was coming by ... not to wear any top that would show our breasts, not to wear anything that would show our bottoms, meaning not wearing clothes that [were] fitted," she said.

And to think, he played God in a movie. Guess he didn’t check his character at the studio exit.

I saw a 1994 documentary about Morgan Freeman in prison in Maine somewhere.

Morgan Freeman (MF). A good, and at the same time most annoying, actor.

There’s been rumors about Freeman’s behavior going on for some time now.

Heard about that. But dating/marrying step children is more or less OK in Hollywood. Ask Woody Allen.

“Just how many Hollywood actors are pervs? “

Far less than there are gold digging, deceitful women looking for a pay day.

They’re “arteests”. In other words perpetual adolescents.

At some point the media is going to try to save one of these leftists, but I don’t think it will be Morgan Freeman.

Sorry Morgan, but thanks for playing “I’m a liberal, everyone like me”.

Hmm seems like guns weren’t the only thing Morgan Freeman’s been trying to grab.
