CNN reports that eight women have accused Oscar-winning movie star Morgan Freeman of sexual harassment. One of the women says Freeman repeatedly put his hands on her lower back and tried to lift her skirt, asking if she was wearing underwear. Another woman told CNN that she and others stopped wearing form-fitting clothing after Freeman repeatedly commented on their bodies. Freeman responded quickly after CNN’s report broke Thursday, writing in a statement, “Anyone who knows me or has worked with me knows I am not someone who would intentionally offend or knowingly make anyone feel uneasy. I apologize to anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected—that was never my intent.”
