(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.

He’s probably quite entitled by this time; it’s become de rigueur to have him in every single movie they make.
Morgan Freeman had sex with his 12 year old step daughter.
His wife divorced him because of this.His wife divorced him because of this.
He took his step daughter to award shows when she was 18
Hollywood oohed and awed him.
His step daughter was later killed by a boyfriend.
It’s better to be “infamous” these day than to be some former (more importantly) wealthy male.
Yes, I remember that scene. I remember my friends and me, young fools who thought of ourselves as clever and knowing. Oh my, didn't we laugh!
Look-- it's the popular acceptance of jokes like this that has led to social coarsening in general and disregard for sexual boundaries in particular.
It used to be understood that the health of society as a whole relies on decent people holding the line about certain things that are unmentionable.
As much as I dislike hollyweird types, this appears to be just wannabe's going after deep pockets now.
Ever wonder why 'abortion' and 'no rules - just right' are tenants in the TRUE RELIGION of Hollywood Liberal 'Elites'?
ABUSERS IN HOLLYWOOD want to abuse, rape and intimidate the innocent - then kill any 'babies' that might result from the assault. Crime without consequences...
The whole 'elite's religion' has been created around the premise that the powerful should be able to hurt the powerless and not pay a price for it. Harvy Weinstein and Morgan Freeman are high priest in that 'religion'... So is Bill Clinton...
#metoo
The # is a pound sign. So, the tag translates to PoundMeToo. Aren’t they kinda asking for it?
Joey?
Wow.
Charged for what? Asking women to be whores and them complying? I haven’t followed the story much so don’t know if any minors were involved.
In a just world, Wienstein would be hauled out into the street and shot. But in our legal world - I’m not sure anything he did was illegal. I’m open to being corrected.
He’s only been following the example given by the icon, Martin Luther King, Jr. We have a National Holiday for a sexual deviant and pervert just to placate a race.
#MeToo was designed to take down prominent conservatives - how come it keeps blowing up in the Democrats’ faces? :)
he has also been accused of having a sexual relationship with his step-granddaughter ( no relation blood wise) tht’s kinda creepy to me.
Hoke Colburn: I’m tryin’ to drive you to the store!
“Charged for what?”
Some claim he raped them.
NYPD: We have considerable evidence in Weinstein rape case, now it’s up to the DA

“Just how many Hollywood actors are pervs?”
There are pervs among all of us but no question that the percentage is much higher among entertainers.
Conversely, some entertainers are moral people, but I wouldn’t trust any of them with my daughters or sons.
Another black icon bites the dust, too. I remember him on the Electric Company. He had a voice that radiated elegance and power, even as Vincent the Vegetable Vampire.
Morgan can’t be guilty because he is too busy going to family reunions to pick up chicks.
