好莱坞影星摩根·弗里曼被八名女性指控性骚扰。
The Oscar winner's alleged inappropriate behavior and harassment included unwanted touching and inappropriate comments on women, CNN reported on Thursday.
According to a CNN investigation, 16 people spoke to CNN about Freeman as part of this investigation, eight of whom said they were victims of what some called harassment and others called inappropriate behavior by Freeman. Eight said they witnessed Freeman's alleged conduct.
These 16 people together described a pattern of inappropriate behavior by Freeman on set, while promoting his movies and at his production company Revelations Entertainment.
One of the victims told CNN that Freeman subjected her to unwanted touching and comments about her figure and clothing on a near-daily basis. The young production assistant who was working on "Going In Style" in 2015 said Freeman "kept trying to lift up my skirt and asking if I was wearing underwear."
A woman who was a senior member of the production staff of the movie "Now You See Me" in 2012 also told CNN that Freeman sexually harassed her and her female assistant on numerous occasions by making comments about their bodies.
The allegations of inappropriate behavior by Freeman are not limited to the confines of his company or to movie sets. Three entertainment reporters who spoke to CNN said Freeman made inappropriate remarks to them during press junkets.
