Read the article.

Why?

Because it details the behavior, it isnt appropriate but people act like making inappropriate comments and trying to grab a girls butt are the same as Cosby raping people

Its good that were moving away from it culturally but back when these events took place the idea of a guy copping a feel was sadly commonplace and would usually garner no more than people rolling their eyes

A production assistant who was in her 20s in 2015 recalled several months on the set of Going in Style where Freeman, now 80, allegedly subjected her to unwelcome remarks and touching. She said he commented on her figure, placed his hand on her lower back or rub it and, in one instance, repeatedly attempted to lift her skirt, "asking if I was wearing underwear," she told CNN. Co-star Alan Arkin reportedly told him to stop.

Who gives a shit if this was commonplace back in the day? Doesn't mean you had to pull shit like this.

Also this was in 2015 so come on.

Excuse me, sir, this is slander! Mark Wahlberg only beat up a man who was already blind!

This tbh.
I'm sure you disagree with me on this, but I have to shake my head over what women have been complaining about in recent years. Many have to suffer the effects of being known as ugly, gross and undesirable for their entire lives while many women complain about the opposite, being desirable and pretty. I think they're just being stuck-up and over-privileged tbh.

If any person I was working for was trying to lift my clothes to see my undergarments, celebrity or not, there would be a fucking lawsuit

2015 was not that long ago and it was NOT OK then

Being pretty isn't a free pass for people to touch you, to try and lift your skirt, or to do the things he did. What the fuck is wrong with you or any other human being to think or suggest that being pretty means the price to pay is sexual assault and harassment at the hands of your employers

Don't you think the real issue is that attractive women (or attractive men. Or any people) are expected to endure any of this shit? You can let someone know that are attractive in a tasteful way. That doesn't include groping or rude remarks

Several other times during this investigation, when a CNN reporter contacted a person who had worked with Freeman to try to ask them if they had seen or been subjected to inappropriate behavior by an actor they had worked with -- not initially even naming the actor they were asking about -- the person would immediately tell them they knew exactly who the reporter had in mind: Morgan Freeman.

...

One of the three, CNN entertainment reporter Chloe Melas, the co-author of this article, says she was subjected to inappropriate behavior by Freeman more than a year ago, when she interviewed him at a press junket for "Going in Style." According to Melas, who was six months pregnant at the time, Freeman, in a room full of people, including his co-stars Arkin and Caine, shook Melas' hand, not letting go while repeatedly looking her up and down and saying more than once a variation of, "I wish I was there." She says he also said to her, "You are ripe." Cameras were on and recording during one of Freeman's remarks to Melas -- "Boy, do I wish I was there" -- but not for the rest. As is common practice with such junkets, Melas was the only CNN employee there at the time.

Afterward, Melas reported what had happened to her supervisor, who instructed her to inform CNN human resources. According to Melas, she was told that CNN HR contacted their counterparts at human resources for Warner Bros., which produced and distributed the movie, and which like CNN is owned by Time Warner. Melas said she was also told that Warner Bros. HR could not corroborate the account because only one of Freeman's remarks was on video and the Warner Bros. employees present did not notice anything. Melas and her supervisor agreed that she would not cover the movie.

Asked for comment, a spokesperson for Warner Bros. confirmed that what Melas was told was accurate, but declined to comment further. A representative for Caine declined to comment. A representative for Arkin said he was not available for comment.

After the encounter with Freeman, Melas started making calls to see if other women had experienced anything similar, or whether this was an isolated incident. She soon learned that other women had similar stories -- and so she, and later her co-author, began this months-long reporting process.

Please read this for the better article. The only reason the investigation was started in to Morgan Freeman's behavior was because of his incredibly inappropriate sexual remarks to a pregnant CNN reporter. She discovered the movie studios covering for his ass and looked into things further. This is what he does in public. These are things you can see. It's really clear that she was not alone and being treated this way. Who knows what went on behind closed doors if this is what you think is ok for everyone to see

Why does Morgan Freeman get a pass for lifting up a girl's skirt and touching her inappropriately or asking if she's wearing underwear. Most guys wouldn't. I wouldn't expect to myself. So why does he? Because you like his narrative voice. I'm not saying he's a monster or on Cosby's level but we shouldn't be enabling rich, powerful men to behave like that

I feel thats what ends up happening when you are the often the most experienced/respectedb actor on the cast. You start to feel like you can get away from doing things that you think you could deflect by virtue of being this powerful person.

Only because people have been allowed to get away with this shit for so long

Why is it ok because it's Hollywood

You're not allowed to do this to employees in other industries

Anyway I'd like to bring up an old thing for the Morgan Freeman is a perverted creep pile

Him having his step granddaughter as his lover. Yep

Morgan Freeman may have robbed his ex-wife's daughter's cradle. The National Enquirer alleges that the 72-year-old actor has been romantically involved with his 27-year-old step-granddaughter, E'Dena Hines, for as long as a decade.

Was having a relationship with his wife's granddaughter for a decade when she was 27. He was fucking his teenaged grandchild. His grandchild that he raised in his own home

Hello Woody Allen called

No that's not fair. He raised that child from a very young age and took advantage of her. There's absolutely nothing ok about it because she's not genetically related to him. It's still his wife's daughter's daughter. He still was her caregiver. She was still only seventeen when he started that, while he was in his sixties. Where's the fair. It's all fucked up and not ok

Its not like this news is absolutely irrelevant to most people. In the entertainment industry, as in just about any other industry, there can be misbehaviors that stun the people who see it happen because thats not what they expect from the powerful people they admire.

Often, people do get caught up in headlines, but I think the most important thing about articles like these is just that people are trying to make their incredible stories known. By incredible, I mean, many wouldnt believe them if they werent corroborated by several others because they involve high-status actors.
