Veteran actor Morgan Freeman is the latest Hollywood heavyweight to find himself in the middle of sexual misconduct scandal. Recently, several women have come forward to accuse the 80-year-old actor of behaving inappropriately, including writer and activist Janet Mock.
According to a CNN report, many of the women accused Freeman of making lewd comments about their bodies. After the allegations surfaced, Freeman initially apologized “to anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected,” but he has also denied the claims that he harassed anyone.
While at least one of the women in CNN’s report has come forward to say the network “misrepresented” her comments, Entertainment Tonight dug up footage that shows Freeman openly ogling some of its correspondents, including Mock.
