Morgan Freeman Accused of Sexual Harassment by Multiple Women
I for myself am a huge fan of Morgan Freeman. He’s an amazingly talented actor and I loved a lot of his movies. Keep reading to find out more about the Accusations Morgan Freeman has to face.
Apparently eight women have accused Freeman of harassment and inappropriate behavior, according to a report by CNN.
In total, 16 people spoke to CNN about Freeman, eight who claim to be victims of either sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior, and eight who said they witnessed Freeman’s alleged misconduct.
The Accusations
Freeman issued an apology about two hours after the CNN article was published.
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.
A female senior production staffer of Freeman’s 2013 film “Now You See Me” reported a similar pattern of behavior and said:
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”
One female former employee said:
I met Freeman for the first time on the set of “Through the Wormhole,” he looked me “up and down” before asking, “‘How do you feel about sexual harassment?
A female manager at Revelations alleged
Freeman would come over to my desk to say hi and he’d just stand there and stare at me. He would stare at my breasts. If I ever passed him, he would stare at me in an awkward way, would look me up and down, sometimes stopping and just staring. One time he stopped, looked me up and down as I walked into a room of people. I literally froze, feeling very uncomfortable and one of the people in the office said, ‘Don’t worry, that’s just Morgan.’
A former male employee said:
One time I witnessed Morgan walk up to an intern and start massaging her. The intern got visibly red and wiggled out of his grasp. It was awkward.
Freeman currently narrates National Geographic’s documentary series, “The Story of God with Morgan Freeman.” He also executive produces “Madam Secretary.” His upcoming projects include “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms,” “Angel Has Fallen,” and “Cold Warriors.”
