From the New York Times:
Morgan Freeman Is Accused of Sexual Harassment by Several Women
By Sopan Deb
May 24, 2018Morgan Freeman, one of the most celebrated actors in the film industry, has been accused of sexual harassment by several women, according to a report by CNN on Thursday. The accusations ranged from unwanted touching to sexually suggestive comments — on movie sets, in office environments and during meetings with the news media.
One production assistant told CNN that she had endured several months of harassment while working on the set of “Going in Style,” a film released last year starring Mr. Freeman, Alan Arkin and Michael Caine. She said that on one occasion Mr. Freeman had tried to lift up her skirt until Mr. Arkin intervened. A woman described as a senior member of the production staff of “Now You See Me,” a 2013 movie, said Mr. Freeman would routinely comment on her physical appearance and that of her assistant.
Three reporters said that Mr. Freeman made inappropriate comments to them during publicity events to promote coming films. One reporter, Chloe Melas of CNN, said that, during an interview last year for “Going in Style,” when she was six months pregnant, Mr. Freeman looked her up and down and told her, “You are ripe.” A camera caught Mr. Freeman saying “Boy, do I wish I was there,” directed toward Ms. Melas. CNN aired the video with the remark on Thursday.
“Right when I walked into the room, he began to make sexually suggestive comments to me,” Ms. Melas, one of the authors of the CNN report, said on air Thursday. “As an entertainment reporter for over a decade, it was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.”
That was totally inappropriate from a leading man … a leading man who is 80 years old, that is.
From a 60-year-old Morgan Freeman in 1998, well, that would have been rather flattering, not to mention kind of sexy. But 80-year-old Morgan Freeman is just gross!
Seriously, after a long working career as an actor without much stardom, a middle-aged Freeman first came to widespread notice in the 1987 movie Street Smart playing a pimp. He has often remarked since then that he was pretty good at portraying a bad guy and wouldn’t mind more chances to do it again. He has often implied that he doesn’t find the thought processes of criminals and villains so wholly alien to him that he could not act them out.
But shortly afterward, Hollywood began typecasting Freeman as a saint and even as a Manifestation of the Divine Godhead.
This led to some incongruities, such as when a car crash led to the revelation of Freeman’s Woody Allen-like affair with his, IIRC, step-granddaughter.
In general, most people who become successful acting stars have an above-average abundance of sexual energy — that’s a sizable part of what we the public respond to in them — along with more opportunities to indulge those energies. So it’s not always a prudent idea to saddle actors with sanctimonious images, such as the Numinous Negro one bestowed upon Freeman.

“I didn’t do it, Red; lawyer fucked me.”
I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy lech-ing or get busy acting.
Probably because it’s ingrained in the DNA of his race. Crime comes naturally to many blacks and they don’t see what all the fuss is about.
To be fair the instigating comments that lead to this flood was him saying ‘I wish I was there’ to a 6 months pregnant woman… (Anything that causes the likes of Michael Caine to do a double take probably crossing a line)
Don’t forget those rumours about him and his step granddaughter…
But he’ll always be my favorite Numinous Negro.
“As an entertainment reporter for over a decade, it was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.” ”
I very much doubt that.
I know he’s just used to portray the Numinous Negro on screen, and that in real life he’s a totally different person (like, not a Numinous Negro, just an ordinary black guy with probably somewhat above average intelligence), but since I liked all the characters he played and also the way he portrayed them, I also liked him, on a level. So I don’t like this news. I hope he won’t be jailed.
I think he's a talented guy with good charisma, but i've long been thoroughly sick of seeing his mug pop up to be the wise, benelovent, intelligent black-man, standing for righteous goodness against those evil scheming white gentiles. After about the 10th time it's no longer even a joke, just the Hollyweird boot stomping on the white man's face forever.
The man learned how to fly airplanes, worked his way up to jets, and eventually bought and piloted his own SJ30.
That airplane can cross a continent or an ocean with just one pilot, as long as he knows what he is doing. Mr. Freeman knew what he was doing. (Too bad his high level of whatever manifested itself as creepy-old-man behavior at work.)
When he bought his SJ30, he flew it himself across the Atlantic Ocean home to America.
Respect:
My father used to fly Cessnas for fun but didn't even bother renewing his pilot license after it expired in his mid-sixties, though he was still in pretty good shape. He said he wouldn't pass the medical tests. Now he's just turned 80, and still drives his car without prescription glasses. Maybe my dad was wrong or he didn't have Morgan Freeman's money?Replies: @Jim Christian, @Buzz Mohawk, @Stan d Mute

He had to be at least somewhat above average to be able to portray really smart Diverse Geniuses.
It’s an attack on competence. Arrested Development was a highly praised comedy series. They were going to bring it back and were having interviews with the cast. One cast member is the infamous tranny-fondler Jeffrey Tambor, who has been in just about everything TV-wise (he was Murray the long-suffering producer on Max Headroom). The incompetent female interviewer burst into tears over the truly unforgivable and inhuman crimes of the monsyer known as Tambor. One of the main Development castmembers broke in to defend his long-time coworker and the whole room went silent. Now the reunion itself is in doubt.
It’s jealousy as policy.

#metoo is obviously an antisemitic and racist pogrom against Jews and Blacks; proof positive that the American regime is an antisemitic, racist tyranny.

He, of course, could never be #MeTooed, due to the fact that he’s still Brad Pitt.
Social studies have determined that 95% of sexual encounters are initiated by women. It's subtle. Women can't be aggressive; that's a turnoff. So, they are passive aggressive. They signal; men respond. This makes sense. It gives women control over who impregnates them.
Hollywood is a special case of this. Actresses are in the business of sexually signaling producers, directors, and their audiences how "hot" they are. That's their product; that's why they get hired; that's what they get paid for. Producers, directors, and audiences are in the business of responding to their signals. In the audiences, women want to be them; men want to be with them. That's what fuels the industry.
It doesn't help that many actresses "sleep" their way to the top. Indeed, from Empress Theodora to the present, actresses have had a pretty seamy reputation ... perhaps one step above prostitution. So, it is easy to see how there could be misunderstandings: women broadcasting on 10,000 watts but claiming after the fact that the signals don't mean anything at all ... especially when they catch the attention of old, disgusting, and "over the hill" directors. Now, if it had been Brad Pitt, it would have been a different story,

By that logic, Denise Richards must be smart because she played a nuclear physicist in a James Bond movie. Similarly, I seem to recall that Keanu Reeves was casted as a brilliant scientist in Chain Reaction – opposite Morgan Freeman, who played his evil genius mentor. If you add up the IQs of Denise Richards and Keanu Reeves, you’d probably have a double-digit number.

Maybe this one will be a bridge too far. Inappropriate staring? These women in serious jobs need legal protection for their feelings?
This has a sense of French Revolution excesses. One alleged victim who didn’t. “me too”, was accused of being mean. Female cofounder, Lori McCeary:
“Two former senior level Revelations employees said McCreary would openly mock women who had to leave work early for family commitments and school functions. McCreary also allegedly said that some employees couldn’t handle big workloads because they had to “run home” to their families and therefore couldn’t stay late at work, according to one of the sources. She openly advocated for work-life balance, that source said, but she would make “snide” remarks to those who left work early”

Thank you, Miss 257. I guess it’s a women’s prerogative to change her mind from one day to the next.
Probably a good thing that Freeman will now have better things to do than spending his last years promoting war against Russia.
As other posters here have said, feminism has lapsed into total incoherence: on the one hand, we’re told that a pat on the butt, an inappropriate joke or even an overlong stare is enough to cause the average woman a lifetime of psychic trauma. But then we’re also told that women are, aside from the obvious anatomic variation, no different than men, no more psychologically fragile or emotional and thus are equally well suited to become e.g. Navy SEALs.
Maybe I’m just especially stoic (doubt it) but 90%+ of this #MeT00 stuff goes under the heading of “who cares?” And most guys have experienced similar or worse (hazing/bullying, getting cruised, the occasional straight woman who just can’t take a hint). Just one of the many minor indignities of life. If it’s the worst thing that ever happens to you then consider yourself lucky.
Assault and battery is not just beating someone up. It’s any kind of touch.
Keep your lecherous hands to yourself. If you worked with gay men who were constantly coming in to you and pawing you in the behind you’d sure think differentlyGo ahead, check the criminal code in your state about touching someone on breastfeeding buttocks and thighs.It’s a criminal sex offense.

The real low hanging fruit is producers and directors. (Both film and music) After Weinstein things started to die down on that front and like the Saudi royal family trying to export Jihad, it went off to disabled PBS classic music radio hosts nobody had ever heard of and the like.

“…unwanted touching to sexually suggestive comments…”
Oh, the humanity!
But…doesn’t Soetoro count as “numinous?” Then again he could never live down the “Magic” Negro moniker. Freeman, by the way, has zero credibility whenever he narrates a cable show having to do with astronomy, cosmology etc. Even numinosity (is there such a word?) has an expiration date. ‘Jes’ mah oh-pinyon (as Miss Daisy’s driver might have said).
WTF
I can’t believe you let that obscentity laced comment go through. Are you okay?
That’s why parents who try to raise their children outside of the influence of Challahwood are considered all kinds of weird…even though it’s clear that the main product of that industry is sexual obsession, promiscuity, and accelerating degeneracy. Any sane person who values their genetics and their kids would want to protect them from it.
I’m pondering lately: what other Cave of the Glowing Back Wall has ever had sex for the sake of sex as its specific product?
I’m no expert on theatre traditions…but the Greek cave/wall was sacred drama, as were many Indo-Aryan shadow plays and dance traditions.
The Anglo-American theater traditions from Elizabeth I onward were generally morality plays or historic epics; the sex was in there as a contributing element of character (e.g., Lady Macbeth or Lizzie Bennet or Mattie Silver) but not the sole one. The transformative element was intended to elevate, not erode.
The drama of medieval and older North Sea/North Atlantic people was moral and mnemotechnic in nature–and in epic traditions, you didn’t act them out, you sang them. HWAET!
By contrast for nearly a century Challahwood has been about sex, sex, sex. Sex as a commodity, an obsession, an addiction. A ding an sich. Out of that addiction, all sorts of derivative degeneracy, all geared toward the obsessive erotic, a product bought per unit with markup, designed to tickle increasingly extreme but eventually extinguished/numb pleasure centers in the brain.
So we can view all this Pound Me Too stuff as some people finally waking up to the fact that they’re sick of it…and that it has hurt all along. They’re waking up as all sleepers forced out of the Cave and into the sunlight, not with a whimper but a scream.
If that’s true, this would be one of the more salubrious developments I’ve witnessed. Morgan Freeman’s worth about $150 million, so I think he’ll be able to buy his way out of the accusations and still live pretty well despite them.
I figure a lot of the Pound Me Too screeching is against men who should have known better, and that part of the screeching is that the gals in question realize they too should have known better. And now both sexes are told to blame each other for not having set the boundary.
This is why I warn young men to run their course more shipshape and Bristol fashion; these current exemplars are useful charts for Scylla and Charybdis.
And remember: Kundry doesn’t wake up to the gravity of her misbehavior and seek redemption without a hecka mess of pain.

Part of it is based on conflating feeling safe with being safe. Imagine if he had said, in public, that a woman has a fat butt? Nothing because that is a crime that dare not speak its name.

A couple of decades ago, Keanu Reeves was in a bad motorcycle crash driving fast in the dark in winding Malibu Canyon (IIRC). When he finally got out of the hospital, he said something to the effect of, “Just because I’m in the movies doesn’t mean I always make smart decisions.”

I would be more concerned about what is happening to my favorite magical negro if he had stuck to acting. Instead, he started lecturing us plebs on the need to crown Queen Hillary and, upon her loss to Putin, he started working with the defender of Malibu beaches (from working class and middle class invaders), Rob Reiner, to lecture us about Putin controlling the country. Once you start being a moral authority, even if you are a magical negro, you set yourself up for greater scrutiny than the average person.
Another positive of someone with so much goodwill as Freeman getting sucked into #MeToo is that more people may notice the conflict between the idea that women are supposedly brave and tough yet they are easily traumatized by suboptimal language. If you are an executive, does this #MeToo make you more or less likely to hire a woman, especially if you are an evil white male with no magical skills?

Freeman got one of his earliest big breaks on the PBS show “The Electric Company”.
She was a Navy pilot in Starship Troopers.
Sample dialog:

Solar System was actually used for Galaxy in old texts, certainly in the 1920s-1940s, maybe a bit later. So it’s archaic but not totally without foundation.

Brawny, brainy, and breasty. What’s not to like?
Morgan Freeman has been a token black in movies for decades.
I'm pondering lately: what other Cave of the Glowing Back Wall has ever had sex for the sake of sex as its specific product?
I'm no expert on theatre traditions...but the Greek cave/wall was sacred drama, as were many Indo-Aryan shadow plays and dance traditions.
The Anglo-American theater traditions from Elizabeth I onward were generally morality plays or historic epics; the sex was in there as a contributing element of character (e.g., Lady Macbeth or Lizzie Bennet or Mattie Silver) but not the sole one. The transformative element was intended to elevate, not erode.
The drama of medieval and older North Sea/North Atlantic people was moral and mnemotechnic in nature--and in epic traditions, you didn't act them out, you sang them. HWAET!
By contrast for nearly a century Challahwood has been about sex, sex, sex. Sex as a commodity, an obsession, an addiction. A ding an sich. Out of that addiction, all sorts of derivative degeneracy, all geared toward the obsessive erotic, a product bought per unit with markup, designed to tickle increasingly extreme but eventually extinguished/numb pleasure centers in the brain.
So we can view all this Pound Me Too stuff as some people finally waking up to the fact that they're sick of it...and that it has hurt all along. They're waking up as all sleepers forced out of the Cave and into the sunlight, not with a whimper but a scream.
If that's true, this would be one of the more salubrious developments I've witnessed. Morgan Freeman's worth about $150 million, so I think he'll be able to buy his way out of the accusations and still live pretty well despite them.
I figure a lot of the Pound Me Too screeching is against men who should have known better, and that part of the screeching is that the gals in question realize they too should have known better. And now both sexes are told to blame each other for not having set the boundary.
This is why I warn young men to run their course more shipshape and Bristol fashion; these current exemplars are useful charts for Scylla and Charybdis.

Good observation.
Never liked him; always thought he was pretentious, with whatever you call that verbal style of his, and a phony. The fawning over him has been disgusting (I still remember Gwyneth Paltrow gushing about how “sexy” he was when “Seven” came out). What really finished me off with him was when I watched him interviewed and he said that, if he could, he would “vote for Obama over and over and over agaaain.”

Hollywood’s products, movies and TV, and responsible for the bad image the USA has in the rest of the world. That, and CNN.
Plenty of the stories from the #metoo people are genuinely nasty–rape, sexual assault, “sleep with me or you’re fired,” and the like. But a bunch of the stories that come out are pretty trivial, and when they are alleged against a famous person, they get way more media attention than the much worse cases where the perp was some nobody. Once again, the media is a distorting filter.
In one breath, feminists boast about how “tough” they are. In the next, they are delicate little flowers terrified of their own shadow.

Various internet sources say he makes $5 million to $10 million a film. Accounts of his net worth range from 100 million to 200 million with the 200 million reported in news stories from the last 24 hours. Commercials and investment income would have to be figured out too.
After centuries of women gradually gaining personal liberty and autonomy, this sort of nonsense will create a societal reaction back to Sharia Law where women are forced to wear the hijab and not allowed to drive a car.
In the book on which the movie was based, it was explicitly stated that most of the pilots were women.
In Tom Wolfe’s book, “The Bonfire of the Vanities,” the judge was Jewish. In the 1990 film of the book, this character was turned into a black judge played by Morgan Freeman.
I give Denise Richards credit for playing herself as an idiot-activist on the 30 Rock episode “Idiots Are People Three!”

Celebrities seem so insecure, so worried about how there perceived. As an 80 year old, Morgan could have said “I appreciate pretty women, and I won’t apologize for saying so” but alas this is what we got yesterday. “I Apologize To Anyone Who Felt Uncomfortable Or Disrespected” Morgan Freeman.
In other news Dave Grohl, of the Foo Fighters and formerly of Nirvana Wants To Apologize To The World For ‘Massive Jerk’ Trump because he’s ashamed. WTF, even if Trump is a jerk, why is it important that Dave apologize to the world? Does that mean he might sell a few more albums in Mexico?

Breaking, News 7 investigation: We have found Michael Earl Smith, an African American man, 74 from Pigsknuckle Arkansas, who–our lengthy News 7 investigation reveals–appears to have never made a lewd comment to a woman (not his wife) in his entire life.
One of the ludicrous aspects to contemporary politics is that pretty much the only demographic group of men who–mostly–adhere to the genteel standard of behavior toward women that feminists claim to want, are the font-of-all-evil white gentiles. More specifically NW European white gentiles.
Yet feminists are in the coalition of the fringes alliance with various more vibrant–less genteel–types to denounce and defenstrate precisely these NW-euro males,

Ok, but you need over 10 million dollars a year in net income to afford a house in Hollywood and whatever other real state he surely owns elsewhere, the maids and the rest of the help, bodyguards, a private airplane, to be able to eat out every day in fancy restaurants, 5 stars hotels, expensive whores, drugs, etc.
If the guy is ‘consensus’ mean, this seems ok.
Maybe if you are Morgan Freeman you don’t pick up many restaurant checks?
There are lots of ways to make money if you are a world famous movie star, such as doing TV commercials in Japan and corporate events in America. If Malcolm Gladwell was getting paid, say, $50k per speech to address corporate sales conferences, how much would they pay Morgan Freeman, star of their salesmen’s favorite movie The Shawshank Redemption, to give a one hour speech combining funny behind the scenes anecdotes involving other movie stars and summing up with some inspiring motivation?
Movie stars also generally do really well on real estate appreciation. Russian oligarchs have been buying up movie stars houses in the Hollywood Hills, knocking them down, and building giant mansions. Oligarchs watch movies too and so they want to move to the Hills of Beverly.

Only the Best should Respond.
Social studies have determined that 95% of sexual encounters are initiated by women. It’s subtle. Women can’t be aggressive; that’s a turnoff. So, they are passive aggressive. They signal; men respond. This makes sense. It gives women control over who impregnates them.
Hollywood is a special case of this. Actresses are in the business of sexually signaling producers, directors, and their audiences how “hot” they are. That’s their product; that’s why they get hired; that’s what they get paid for. Producers, directors, and audiences are in the business of responding to their signals. In the audiences, women want to be them; men want to be with them. That’s what fuels the industry.
It doesn’t help that many actresses “sleep” their way to the top. Indeed, from Empress Theodora to the present, actresses have had a pretty seamy reputation … perhaps one step above prostitution. So, it is easy to see how there could be misunderstandings: women broadcasting on 10,000 watts but claiming after the fact that the signals don’t mean anything at all … especially when they catch the attention of old, disgusting, and “over the hill” directors. Now, if it had been Brad Pitt, it would have been a different story,

I never realized this was Morgan Freeman, who would go on to become Hollywoods’s idea of God on the throne.
It’s interesting to note that Freeman is few weeks older than Cosby even though the Coz was a household name decades before Freeman hit it big.. He has a small role in Brubaker, the 1980 Redford prison film, playing a crazed inmate in solitary confinement. He’s nearly unrecognizable in it compared to his later persona.
Cosby’s conviction is especially troubling in that he paid multimillions in hush money to his main Howard Stern lookalike accuser

There was a really long, bizarre, anonymous, uncheckable story on 4chan’s tv board the other day, a Crazy Days And Nights type thing, about an up-and-coming producer forcing her significant other to adopt completely different personae to illustrate lgbtqpmf sincerity. One week he’s claiming to be a tranny, the next he’s straight. This isn’t the one whose career is taking off, it’s the boyfriend of the one whose career is taking off, getting unrequested thespian training to help someone he’s not married to. Whether this specific story is true or not, it represents a satirical truth about the culture and its “Wiz”-like fashion-morality. There would be some great movies coming out now if Hollywood still made movies and if screenwriters were capable of self-criticism.

Justinian the Great is The Great only because of his actress/model/whatever wife Empress Theodora stiffened his spine in c. 532 AD when the Blue and Green chariot racing team fans had merged to take over Constantinople. Justinian was ready to flee into exile, but Theodora announced she’d die on her throne and that shamed the men of the court to send their soldiers to make a deal with one set of fans and slaughter the other set.
Catherine the Great of Russia appears to have been another of these female personalities ... except that she knew how to use sex to exploit the old codgers in the aristocracy as she elevated herself from courtesan to empress in her own right. Maybe Theodora could have learned something from her.

If Justinian had fled, she would have found a new “emperor” to take his place to avoid, as Svigor says, becoming someone else’s concubine.
