It works when it's not based off theory. More like a qualified educated opinion based off theoretical and predictive models that may or may not come to pass in reality.

I didn't know you know both of them personally.
But, here is something to consider. People were shocked when Cosby was accused because of the image he portrayed and built based upon what the public saw of him, an image that made it hard to believe Dr. Cosby/Fat Albert/Jello guy/community activist would behave in such a way. But that is a public image. And it's not unusual for a portrayed public image, or the way the public views someone, to be incongruent with the "true" self of that person. And it's not just celebrities who do this. Everyone, to greater or lesser extents, puts on a facade for public viewing, wears a mask for friends and family to see, and has their own real self underneath it all. For all any of us knows, Morgan Freeman could enjoy torturing small animals, privately harbor racist thoughts, and makes his dog crap on a neighbor's yard. That's not how the public knows him, but when there are no cameras or paparazzi around we don't know what's going on.

You do touch on a good point.
Reminds me of a quote from Twain,
"Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody".
I'm getting it from the math. Every single one of these ladies is on the downward spiral. It makes me think they were OK with being pimped as long as they were making money and now the gravy train has run out so lawsuit time. This sort of thing happens all the time in the entertainment industry. They're fine putting out as long as they make the A-List money, the whole story changes once they aren't getting gigs.
These people's careers are over because Hollywood is a clique: you're in or out. No one is going to touch them with a ten foot pole.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
And the dynamics of abuse reporting are not theoretical.

He issued a statement of apology. That should be enough.

Twice actually. He admits to making comments, just joking around or in jest.
It seems the women weren't the ones who came forward, it was the reporter from CNN did started the ball rolling against Freeman.
In fact one of the "victimized" women "accusing" Freeman said this is taken out of context.
An Alleged Victim of Morgan Freeman Says CNN Misrepresented Her Comments

In the news....

The article....
Hollywood lawyer Robert Schwartz has sent a ten page letter to CNN’s Jeff Zucker demanding a retraction and apology for the network’s story about Oscar winner Morgan Freeman regarding sexual misconduct and harassment.
The story was CNN’s Chloe Melas and comes on the heels of the #MeToo movement and accusations against powerful men in Hollywood.
Schwartz’s letter questions Melas’s reporting.
The lawyer’s letter says:…
“at just this early stage, our review confirms that:
• Of the three people CNN identified as being a “victim,” the first, CNN’s own Chloe Melas, had no reasonable basis to have interpreted what Mr. Freeman said or did at the Going In Style interview last year as having been directed at her or as any form of harassment. The videotape confirms that his statement had nothing to do with her and was not harassing. And an independent third party, the Warner Bros. Human Resources Department, investigated her claim and concluded that it was not supported by the facts.
• The second person CNN identified, Tyra Martin, has gone on record twice since CNN published the article to state that CNN misrepresented what she said to CNN and that Mr. Freeman did not harass her • The third person CNN identified, Lori McCreary, told CNN that Mr. Freeman never harassed her. And as to CNN’s gratuitous sideswipe at Ms. McCreary herself, yet another independent party investigated the claim when CNN raised it, and found it to be meritless.
• Ms. Melas baited and prodded supposed “witnesses” to say bad things about Mr. Freeman and tried to get them to confirm her bias against him. Thus, no reader of the article can have any confidence that any of the anonymous sources, which make up the balance of CNN’s article, can be relied upon at all.
Based on those facts, and the additional information presented below, it is clear that CNN has defamed Mr. Freeman. CNN has inflicted serious injury on his reputation and career. At a minimum, CNN immediately needs to issue a retraction and apologize to Mr. Freeman through the same channels, and with the same level of attention, that it used to unjustly attack him on May 24. CNN also needs to retract the portions of the story that concern Lori McCreary and apologize to her for defaming and injuring her.”
