Popular American actor, Morgan Freeman accused of sexual harassment

 

Morgan Freeman is the latest celebrity to be caught in the web of sexual harassment as a young lady has accused him of his unruly behaviour.

According to CNN, the young production assistant had gotten a job at movie ”Going In Style” where the actor was starring alongside Michael Caine and Alan Arkin.

She revealed how she was touched on different occasions inappropriately by the veteran actor during the movie project.

Morgan Freeman, 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.”

Also, CNN revealed that this is not the first time the actor is being accused of sexual harassment as a senior member of the production staff of the movie “Now You See Me” in 2012 said that Freeman sexually harassed her and her female assistant on numerous occasions by making comments about their bodies.
