A new report alleges that the actor subjected women to sexual and verbal harassment on film sets and at his production companyMorgan Freeman has been accused of sexual and verbal harassment by eight different women. On one occasion, she says, Freeman “kept trying to lift up my skirt and asking if I was wearing underwear”. “Morgan got freaked out and didn’t know what to say,” the accuser, who chose to remain anonymous, added. Additionally, the women whom Freeman allegedly harassed on film sets said they didn’t report his behavior at the time in fear of losing their jobs. “Any accused person has the right to due process, but it is our starting point to believe the courageous voices who come forward to report incidents of harassment.
