Report: Eight women accuse Morgan Freeman of sexual misconduct

Eight women have accused actor Morgan Freeman of sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior on-set, at his production company, and during press junkets, according to a report.

CNN reports that 16 people have spoken out against Freeman’s alleged misconduct, half of which claimed to have been victims of what some called “harassment,” and others termed “inappropriate behavior” by the actor.

One woman, a production assistant on 2017’s “Going in Style,” which starred Freeman, Alan Arkin and Michael Caine, claimed that Freeman, 80, harassed her for several months, including an incident in which he “kept trying to lift up my skirt and asking if I was wearing underwear.
