The man is in his 80s what do you think?
One of the accusers said an incident happened in 2015. That's still 2 years ago.

I had planned to reply, but leibowde has basically done the job.
Why on Earth would they come forward at a time when a) they wouldn't be taken seriously, and would be shamed and b) they'd lose their careers over it?
Much clearer attitudes about sexual abuse and harassment are beginning to gain sway now.
It wasn't long ago that young women wouldn't really know whether to trust their thinking on this being OK or not, on it being 'just part of the job' and so on - now public sympathy allows women to stand up and say 'you know what, this WASN'T OK, it WASN'T just part of what you've gotta go through as an actress or as a woman'.

What kind of proof do you think these women have now that it was the case in fact as they allege?

This was a little scrambled, but if I understood correctly - I don't what proof they have. I don't know whether Morgan Freeman did these things.
One of the complaints is from last year. How long did you have in mind?
Celebrities get a lot of groupies. They may start taking some of that star power for granted.
You get used to women throwing themselves at you, you might edge into inappropriate behavior trying to encourage it.
It's a fine line a guy has to walk these days and maybe some guys need to get slapped back across it occasionally.
I don't think all guys are deplorable just stupid about sex sometimes. Women need to speak up immediately when they encounter behavior that they feel is not appropriate. Otherwise hows a fellow supposed to know? They are just trying to get laid.

OMG. Unbelievable "Morgan Freeman lifted her shirt a bit and asked if she is wearing underwear". Come on what is this, women in america flashing their boobs all day on internet and then making such a big deal about this little naugthy remark. They are only after money and this is so really sick. I don't believe in the Satan, but this is Satan living in the minds of those women and men suing each other for money only [or likes or whatever].
If they want this "no touching no commenting on anything" they should start today and don't go back many years. You can't do that. That is so wrong. Oh and then start stopping nudity in films and TV. And stop undressed or half naked walking on the street.
Maybe better adopt the Islamic way to dress and behave. I think when done respectful it's a good way to solve this crazyness that goes on now. Come on we live in 2018, not in 1900.
And then the first to sue should be D.Trump, because he has said "Grab them by the Pu*ssy". 100 times worse than M.Freeman's above remark.

Why does that matter? Does the fact that she wrote a song mean that she wasn't raped? Music is a great way to make your voice heard.
Eh, we could argue they are losing their livelihood anyway. I mean all of the #MeToo people are basically "wrecked" on their careers. Anyway, there are allegations who knows if they hold water as of yet. But, it does look like the house of cards is falling off the table.

Yep. Sure. No reason not to accuse one of the most powerful, well regarded people in the industry when you're a relative nobody. Can't imagine why someone wouldn't.

Spoken like someone who's never had to make such a choice.

You're forgetting immensely wealthy as well.

Then the person's career is more important than the offense itself. It's pretty black and white if they choose to stick around.
There's also a choice to leave and not remain associated with someone who you think is less than stellar.

I dont think I wanna read the links. Id never would think a second morgan is involved in such mess. Come on now. He's God! Seriously. I listen to this a lot. Reminds me of the MJ issue. People were ready to crucify him.
Im thinking these "abuses", suicides, and drug issues were not accidents. Just sayin'

Remind me not to ask you to join for addressing people in domestic abuse relationships who feel too scared to leave, either due to personal, professional or financial threats that make them feel like they either need to 'shut up put up with it' or 'accept total ruin.'

I first heard of it while in Southern Ontario earlier today on 91.7.
It just doesn't sound right given Morgan Freeman's reputation and history as an upstanding person. He's definitely a flirter, but I don't think anything more serious past flirtation for which he's publicly apologized since the allegations surfaced.
I'm not aware of where he actually tried to drug and rape somebody like Cosby, but this is eerily similar given the media attention that it has years after the fact.
It's getting really hard to distinguish genuineness from opportunistic as far as motivation goes in accusing high profile wealthy successful men these days.
Given the media circus around Bill Cosby and the bizarre behavior some of his accusers it seems a parallel is being formed with Morgan Freeman of which I can't tell if this is an opportunistic accusation or an actual genuine cry of justice for offenses that have gone unpunished.
I guess like Cosby, will have to wait for any details to surface. Either way I see this becoming yet another circus where the lines of opportunity and Justice get blurred and how this will affect any relations between women and men in the future in general.
