No real named accuser, only one other named witness who is only alleged to have seen this event and the final nail in the coffin CNN I'd say this is most likely not a true.
please read the article
glad to see he's actually confronting the issue, I can understand why he's doing these stuffs since these might be considered 'normal' during his times. Not saying what he did was right, just good to see he is willing to admit it. I hope he'll learn to keep his hands with himself in the future though, always enjoyed his work
Even God can't escape
tried to lift her skirt and asked if she was wearing underwear.
Morgan is also said to have stared at women's breasts and asked women to twirl for him.
If this is true, saying sorry and apologizing is already too already as he's only done it after the spotlight has been placed on him.
trust no one
I mean, after that incident with Mary, we probably should have seen this coming...
Yep. Reputation damage already guaranteed. Career over.
He's 80. He's gonna be fine.
"Morgan is also said to have stared at women's breasts and asked women to twirl for him."
The very same thing Hugh Hefner was praised for for decades?
"Morgan is also said to have stared at women's breasts"
CALL THE COPS
Yeah, i don't really get that one. They could just say no. Feminism was supposed to be about giving women a voice, not having the world cater to their every emotional swing.
he literally just admitted to doing it, Einstein.
It's creepy and objectifying, just because they had the option to say no doesn't make it any less wrong, lol.
Also I don't see what feminism has to do with anything. Everyone should be entitled to dignity and respect in public.
It doesn't make it less wrong. Doesn't mean they couldn't handle it by telling him off, rather than getting emotionally crippled and bringing it up years later without even addressing it to his face in the first place.
I'm sorry, but it's just plain social cowardice. Unless he was being physically domineering, i don't sympathise with this way of going about it. It's like reporting people for assault after a row because it could hypothetically have gotten physical...
These are just allegations, there has being no trial where he has being found guilty and yet he's being judged for something he may not have done.
You are the second person in this thread to dismiss the fact that he has literally admitted to these allegations so you can make an epic zinger about how it "probably didn't happen"
He apologized to "anyone who he may have made to feel uncomfortable". I don't see anywhere in the article where it says he admitted to the actions he was accused of by the production assistant.
Social cowardice? That's not social cowardice, it's what you had to do for a chance to keep your job in that disgusting excuse of an industry.
You don't sympathize because you have no clue what it's like to suffer from abuse by someone that has much more power than you.
Please quote where he confessed.
Well he's admitting that his actions made people uncomfortable/ disrespected
That's not a confession.
not in a court of law, no. but come on man
I really liked "Going in Style." Bummer.
Thing is Morgan Freeman is an actor, a really old one that is really good at what he does and gets payed well. He's not the director or their boss so anyone could have told him off. In fact he could have been fired by executives or the director for harassing staff if they only brought it up earlier. I'm NOT saying that abuse exists in Hollywood, but in a matter of a production manager vs an actor I think the former has a clear advantage. If anything the producers should get in trouble for letting an actor harass their employees.
He's not admitting to the actions he was accused of by the assistant director, that's the issue. There is no admission of guilt in that apology. Until there is a court case or conclusive evidence arises such as an actual admission of guilt then I think it's foolish to draw meaning from his statement.
Dude what the fuck. No i'm not describing Utopia, i'm describing what should be the first attempted solution when an old guy is being a perv to you. If that fails, you can move up the latter. IF everything else fails, THEN you start gossip on social media and get the courts involved. People are all too happy to bottle bad shit up when they might not have to. Communication is dead in so many people because they make the choice every day to not take the social confrontation instead of tip-toeing around shitty people. You'd be surprised what a woman can do by speaking with conviction and looking an asshole dead in the eyes.
You're making a lot of assumptions about me and you don't know anything about me at all except i'm male. So unless you want to invoke "men can't be abused" i need you to back off here.
I'm not saying he shouldn't be in deep shit for sexual harassment. But what we're discussing is his remarks like "twirl for me". The answer should be "no." and them walking off. If there was peer pressure, which it didn't sound like, they should be in deep shit too.
He's not just an old perverted guy, he's a superstar. Once again, you continue to ramble and show that you clearly have no idea what it is like to work with somebody in a position of power.
Also, what assumptions? What in the world are you talking about? Where in my post did I say anything about your gender? So far all I've said is that you have no experience working with people that have social influence as your complete lack of empathy to the victims to the point of calling them cowards is astonishing.
You'd be surprised what a woman can do by speaking with conviction and looking an asshole dead in the eyes.
You do realize that is how you would get fired? Only now did things change in Hollywood in favor of equality instead of abuse of power.
