http://time.com/5292471/morgan-freeman-statement/
Actor Morgan Freeman is maintaining that his behavior should not be classified as sexual assault, in the wake of harassment and misconduct allegations leveled against him earlier this week. I am devastated that 80 years of my life is at risk of being undermined, in the blink of an eye, by Thursdays media reports, Freeman said in a statement provided to TIME late Friday night. All victims of assault and harassment deserve to be heard. And we need to listen to them. But it is not right to equate horrific incidents of sexual assault with misplaced compliments or humor. A CNN report published Thursday included accounts from eight people who accused Freeman of inappropriate behavior or harassment. Many of these alleged instances included what were perceived as inappropriate comments from Freeman. One woman claimed he once repeatedly tried to lift her skirt and asked if she was wearing underwear; another said the actor made so many comments about her appearance that she and her assistants stopped wearing fitted clothing around him. CNN reporter Chloe Melas also said the actor called her ripe when she interviewed him while six months pregnant. Freeman, who issued an apology shortly after CNNs story broke Thursday, said in the second statement that he uses jokes and humor to make people feel appreciated and at ease around me, though he added that, Clearly I was not always coming across the way I intended. Still, Freeman maintains in the statement that his behavior never crossed certain lines. I did not create unsafe work environments. I did not assault women. I did not offer employment or advancement in exchange for sex, Freeman said in the statement. Any suggestion that I did so is completely false. Like I've been saying all along. --- Ba da da dada, da da da dada, da da da dada, da da da dada... What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, this whole thing seems dumb. Like, at one point there was some real teeth to the allegations coming out. Several prominent figures actually assaulted or raped women (or even men in a few instances) and everyone was right to be outraged... But now? "He complimented my figure" is apparently grounds to crucify a man. Trying to equate that with sexual assault does nothing but water down the claims of ACTUAL victims.

"Come on, guys, I only committed a little bit of sexual harassment" Well, that's the point. These women were right to call him out on his behavior, and considering that he's not denying what they specifically accused him of, we can fairly assume the truth of their accusations. However, Freeman is clearly making this statement to avoid being lumped in with the likes of Weinstein and Spacey, which is also fair; harassment and assault are on two different levels, and should be treated as such. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. ...

"I didn't touch them, so it's okay"
Fuck off. Yes, what he did isn't as bad as some. But he still (perhaps unintentionally) was making many people uncomfortable and being pretty sleazy evidently. Lots of men display this attitude and brush it off as nothing. I'm not really sure we should just have to accept men making sexual remarks as normal or "funny remarks". That shit gets annoying pretty fast when you have to deal with men who do it all the time. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I feel a big problem is people treat everything just as bad.
Being a bit of a lech is different from sexual assault or straight up rape. Kinda like any crime that gets you on a sex offender list is often conflated as pedophile or rapist even when its something as dumb as public urination or two teens both under age of consent having sex with each other. And no if the allegations are true not saying Freeman didnt do anything wrong. Just hate the way society views conflates certain things. Whatever the current moral panic is everyone wants the complete destruction of anyone who is so much accused or sometimes even associates with someone accused. Mob justice via social media harassment and the like only weakens society. We prejudge too much and often people who are found not guilty or even straight up proven innocent already lost their jobs, and more. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
