This is not over yet, in fact it's probably just beginning.

They have no choice. It's Morgan's move now. Either he backs down or he takes them on.
If he does take legal action it will be a very significant and important battle.

Men vs #Metoo (and Brian)

It will be interesting to see what unfolds next.

Yep it’s his call.

Agree it’s important and significant.

Would be surprised CNN came out with this without having all their ducks in line. They will be aware know how powerful he is.

Both CNN and MF will have access to the best of legal advices.

Would not be surprised if they have something in reserve.

You should respect other people’s opinions.

There are a lot more men who hold Brian’s opinions about respect, than yours, so I would not be so quick to try and mock someone’s character and values.

Is it not against boards charter to pick on people personally.?

I'd say they don't. But if it does go to court Morgan will have to mount a robust defense of flirting and staring.(which he has an admitted history of)
Could be very interesting

Should their be some kind of discreet device put on Male’s Members to see if there is any increase in Blood flow when looking at tits , ass and long legs .

Some kind of mad kinky feminist could decide arbitrarily when less / more blood flow is bad / good .

The fact that he apologised will not assist him.

Surprised his legal team vetted that statement.

I suppose it’s down to whether the Court agrees with his (and yours)definition of flirting. I would be surprised if any Court defines unwanted touching as flirting.

I also feel that staring or ogling will not be seen as as positive trait.certainly no advertiser will want to be associated with an ogler/mauler so that revenue stream is gone without a doubt.

Time will tell.

He didn't necessarily apologize for his actions. He said he was sorry if his actions unintentionally caused offense

Oh. His career is over. Sponsors have already deserted him. But with respect to whether "ogling" as you quaintly put it is acceptable or not in our society or should be punished severely as in this case, we have a fundamental difference of opinion.

That would be a fascinating debate and one that is long overdue. In my opinion it is time someone stood up to #metoo

Nah. Hardly. So far we have proof of inappropriate comments and only when taken completely void of context.

In contrast, TJ Miller, according to a girl in college circa 2001, "became violent with her during a sexual encounter; he allegedly choked, shook, and punched her in the mouth, all without her consent." - while HBO immediately yanked him from Silicon Valley (great show with or without him tbh) he has still seen many returns, as recently as reprising his role in Deadpool 2 this past weekend, had been in Ready Player One and the Emoji Movie (bleh) and is still on the docket for How to Train Your Dragon 3, 6 months after the allegations surfaced... though recently Ryan Reynolds did confirm he won't be in the X-Force/Deadpool 3 movie, most likely because a couple weeks ago he was arrested for calling in a fake bomb threat on a train and faces up to 5 years in prison (really ****s up a production schedule). I'd say it's more to do with the bomb threat then the sexual assault allegation.

I think Morgan Freeman will be fine.

I understand power plays and the like from people in positions - but would most people not be able to get someone to back off with stern words? Like an incredulous "What are you doing? Are you fúcking high?" I think there's a difference between someone being a fúcking asshole - and someone being a fúcking criminal asshole. I kind of get the impression Freeman was being a dick who didn't realise he was being a dick, rather than an "abuser".

That said, I do feel that if someone knowingly does these things with the confidence no-one will question them because of their "status" and influence, they should get every fúcking thing that's coming to them.

I'd appreciate it if you would watch the video below and let me know whether you consider these the actions of a fücking asshole on a power trip

ha ha - looks like he was replying to Caine's comment where he spoke of his embarresment. As for the "staring and looking up and down".. oh for ****'s sake. What a load of bollox. It doesn't look like anything at all to me! Maybe the little white lady was afraid of the black man?

if a celebrity wants a career and endorsements they can’t be an “”ogler”.

I don’t believe it should be punished by law, (gropers are different) oglers comes across as a bit pathetic and sad, definitely not a marketable commodity. But not much more than that.

ginandtonicsky

It's not socially acceptable or OK or un-noteworthy to be the "creepy uncle" anymore, in these post #metoo times, and that's what we're seeing here with Freeman.

It doesn't mean he should be conflated with the likes of Harvey Weinstein or Kevin Spacey or lumped in with actual criminal sexual assault cases and serial rapists, and that's where it gets murky. #metoo shouldn't be a catch-all for every type of mistreatment against women, because they are not all equal and they are not all illegal or prosecutable. They don't alter lives in the same way.

Show me a woman who has not met a creepy uncle type and I'll show you a liar. Freeman is one of the most famous actors on the planet and he rose to fame in 1970s/80s Hollywood, when these sorts of behaviour were tolerated and even expected and women just put up with it. We're no longer needing to put up with it. Which is great. But jesus if we start trying to call out these wrongs and lumping them in with serious sexual assault and rape it just lessens the seriousness of these crimes and their victims in my opinion.

And lads, having your breasts ogled or your body commented on non-stop by an 80 year old man, or any man for that matter, is pretty fcuking gross.

Does he not mean he wishes he was there when Caine told the woman she was pregnant 50 years ago

WTF there is nothing there at all. He didn't look her up and down and has a neutral expression on his face. It's obvious he wished he had been there when Caine had the embarrassing moment. If she thinks THAT is a sexual comment it's no wonder she gets "sexually harassed" all the time.

Seems to me like one of those women who thinks she is so hot that any comment or glance is sexual towards her. Horrible humourless bitches that need to be steered well clear of.

Her body language is screaming "I'm lying" too.

And she looks pretty flat chested to me. Not much there to stare at TBH.

The Pharmacy guy was dangerous and a lunatic. I dont blame the police being cuncerned for her safety. I remember reading about they case before. Kiind of guy to have a knife. He seemed mentally ill. Safety is a priority. No offence but I don't think that's what Morgan Freeman is alleged to have done.

There is no indication that he was a dangerous lunatic. He did not have a knife or any weapon.
The crime of which he was charged and for which he was sentenced to jail was STARING.

The major accusation against Morgan Freeman is that he is guilty of STARING.

The allegations are not that different.
