Just last night, news broke on the internet when yet another veteran of the Hollywood industry was accused by eight women for varying degrees of inappropriate behaviour and forms of sexual harassment.
As part of the investigation, CNN spoke to 16 people in total about Freeman that recounted multiple separate incidents of alleged misconduct and inappropriate behaviour.
Eight women claimed to be victims of his behaviour, while the other eight claimed to have witnessed something inappropriate.
Seven of the 16 said that Revelations Entertainment, which Freeman co-founded with Lori McCreary, was a common home for Freeman’s unwanted comments. McCreary allegedly witnessed at least one incident while also being the subject of demeaning comments from the actor, per CNN.
Following this, the actor apologised to the victims according to online sources.
Moreover, Twitter has seen the hashtag #MorganFreeman trend since then.

I love #MorganFreeman.
He’s my favorite actor that portrays the “wholesome morality” our society so lacks.
So I just can’t picture him saying, or doing anything inappropriate towards a woman…
But then again, my favorite “wholesome and moral” comedian was Bill Cosby.— A Liberal Marine (@USMCLiberal) May 24, 2018

Wanna believe Morgan freeman wouldn’t do what he’s accused of. but when 16 women come forward with similar allegations, I can’t defend one man, because of his status. The important thing now, is that the victims are heard and more importantly, actually listened to. #MorganFreeman
