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

Posted on 05/24/2018 8:14:28 AM PDT by Rennes Templar

(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.

#MeToo claims another Democrat.

The bong hits keep on coming.

More winning for our side, and the best election ever, continues to be even better each day!

It’s probably easier to compile a list of ones that aren’t.

Morgan Freeman apologizes after multiple women accuse actor of sexual harassment! (Fox news)

Morgan Freeman issued an apology to “anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected” following an explosive report containing claims of sexual harassment from eight women.

The veteran actor told The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, “Anyone who knows me or has worked with me knows I am not someone who would intentionally offend or knowingly make anyone feel uneasy. I apologize to anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected — that was never my intent.”

Eight women told CNN on Thursday that Freeman made suggestive comments about their appearance and inappropriately touched them.

A rep for Freeman, 80, did not immediately return Fox News’ request for comment.

A young production assistant told the outlet that Freeman harassed her for several months while working on the 2015 set of “Going In Style.” She claimed that Freeman made comments about her body almost every day and would rub her lower back.

So will Morgan beat other Follywood perverts re the number of women he abused?

Morgan finds out that #metoo has several meanings/intents. Some of which are not great in today’s world.

Morgan Freeman also made a propaganda video in which he lectured us on Russian interference in our election. He proved himself to be a complete tool.

I’m very glad that I’ve never seen any of his movies.

Woody Allen started screwing around with his underage step-daughter, then when she was old enough he married her. Hollywood perverts didn’t care.
