Can't wait to hear his heartfelt non-apology

It's ingrained in the culture. Honestly, I imagine it would be difficult to find anyone over a certain age who hasn't engaged in questionable practices, not just in Hollywood, but throughout society.

yes, that's exactly right. it doesn't make it ok though.

men shouldn't feel entitled to act like that around women, and making men afraid to do it is absolutely a positive thing


Agreed, but I think a lot of people miss the point of this whole movement. It shouldn't be "omg this guy did something wrong I'm gonna boycott him." But instead, normal people do bad things and we should be aware of what types of behavior are not acceptable and learn from it and move forward.

why not both?


Because when you demonize someone the point gets lost. Suddenly this person is a monster and not like the rest of us. We need to be aware we are all fallible.

I don't think anyone has really been demonized. a lot of men just feel attacked because they see themselves in the behaviour of these men

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."


So this is "Flirting" to some of you?

^ Right

And let's not forget that we as movie and TV lovers BENEFIT from the talents and hard work that guys like Louis CK and Morgan Freeman bring to the table. No point in ruining their careers. Bring the issue up in the open so that people are aware and so that people are not afraid to put their foot down and say "no" to celebrities in the future.

But let's be careful about being completely rude and disrespectful to these guys. It's okay to point out behavior you disagree with in a polite manner. And the more polite and sensible and mature we are about it, the more like they will respond in a positive manner. You get all mad at people, and they just seal themselves up and refuse to change. That ain't good.


Their behavior would be the end of anyone's occupation in a normal occupation. It's harassment, and it's unacceptable for anyone. Doesn't matter if you're a celebrity. They know what they are doing is wrong, and anyone using their status to behave in such a way should be made an example of.

honestly, I don't know why Roman Polanski is so protected. What he did was so disgusting he's not even allowed back in the country, yet people continue to support him.

Its a pile on affect, false accusers just make claims and if theres 8 or more the jury just deems guilty. It must be true!

After the court case they file the civil suit crying for the estate.

Theyre going after everybody and anyone that looks like a big payday.

I do not, but I also understand that the public and employers aren't obligated to abide by the standards of proof required in a court of law.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/24/entertainment/morgan-freeman-accusations/index.html

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmbN1g6x2ws" data-time="


(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.

http://www.tmz.com/2018/05/24/morgan-freeman-sexual-harassment-sag-award-lifetime-achievement/

Morgan Freeman's huge honor from his peers in the Screen Actor's Guild is now on the line ... in the wake of sexual harassment allegations ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for SAG tells us, "These are compelling and devastating allegations which are absolutely contrary to all the steps that we are taking to ensure a safe work environment for the professionals in this industry."

Freeman was awarded SAG's Life Achievement Award back in January, but now says it's reviewing what "corrective actions" might be appropriate.

SAG acknowledges Freeman has the right to due process, but says it's "our starting point to believe the courageous voices who come forward to report incidents of harassment."

As we told you ... 8 women told CNN Freeman had engaged in harassment or sexual misconduct on several movie sets, and at media events connected to his movies.

Freeman has denied "intentionally" offending or making anyone feel uncomfortable.

I don't know what to think of that.
Id he going for the "sex addiction!" defense, or "raised that way, a long time ago in Memphis" (which you just read in Morgan Freeman's voice), or what?

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

https://m.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/edena-hines-morgan-freema_n_229070

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.

What he did to people on set was not flirting. No employer or co-worker had the right to try and lift your skirt and see your underwear. Any other industry could see huge lawsuits.
