Actor Morgan Freeman Accused of Sexual Harassment, Inappropriate Behavior by Multiple Women
Billboard ^ | 05/24/2018 | Evan Real

Morgan Freeman has been accused of sexual misconduct by eight women. Sixteen people spoke to CNN about the actor's alleged inappropriate behavior, describing multiple troubling incidents throughout his career.

In all, 16 people spoke to CNN about Freeman as part of this investigation, eight witnesses and eight who claim to be victims.

A young production assistant said that in the summer of 2015, while she was working on Freeman's bank heist comedy "Going In Style", she was subjected to several months of harassment. She alleged that Freeman repeatedly touched her without permission, resting his hand on her lower back or rubbing her lower back, and frequently made comments about her figure and clothing.

In one incident, she said Freeman "kept trying to lift up my skirt and asking if I was wearing underwear," adding that he never successfully lifted her skirt. "Alan [Arkin] made a comment telling him to stop. Morgan got freaked out and didn't know what to say."

“In one incident, she said Freeman “kept trying to lift up my skirt and asking if I was wearing underwear,”...

Is this unacceptable?”

I thought of George Costanza when I read that: “Is that wrong? Shouldn’t I have done that?”

Apologies which contain an implicit denial of culpability are, you know, kinda’ stupid.

No way! I mean, he always plays good guys, and he sounds so sincere in those commercials. Right?

If a guy can’t flirt or be playful without going to jail life is going to get very miserable.

I heard what they said he did- I don’t think it is “sexual assault’ at all, and it demeans the claims of REAL victims, like Bill Clintons RAPE victims.

If you’re successful and rich, and you ever in your life looked cross-eyed at a woman, kiss your bank account good-bye.
