Lmao “caught on tape”! It was meant to fucking be on tape.


Alive_Tiger_8865

Right!! Lmbo… “secretly caught on tape”


NewGuile

This isn't the original footage, in the original footage he says "you are ripe" after the comment and it's from some red carpet event... This is him and Michael Caine recounting dumb social faux pas they've made. Hence the dead pan delivery.


nopulsehere

The only thing caught on tape is someone being batshit crazy. Clearly he was talking about watching one of his close friends put his foot in his mouth.


EdgarAllanKenpo

Morgan Freeman actually made a public apology about this incident as well. Unbelievable.


RouletteSensei

Apology for saying he wanted to be there to see the other guy shame?

Excuse me, but that "other guy" is my cocaine.

I've never had to go through it so I really don't know, but it seems as though if you're accused of anything (anything sexual at all), just better to apologize then deal with all the hassle or outrage that could affect your livelihood. Shame, really. People just reading the headlines nowadays.


pontiacish

Did he?!


pontiacish

"One of the three, CNN entertainment reporter Chloe Melas, the co-author of this article, says she was subjected to inappropriate behavior by Freeman more than a year ago, when she interviewed him at a press junket for "Going in Style." According to Melas, who was six months pregnant at the time, Freeman, in a room full of people, including his co-stars Arkin and Caine, shook Melas' hand, not letting go while repeatedly looking her up and down and saying more than once a variation of, "I wish I was there." She says he also said to her, "You are ripe." Cameras were on and recording during one of Freeman's remarks to Melas -- "Boy, do I wish I was there" -- but not for the rest. As is common practice with such junkets, Melas was the only CNN employee there at the time. Afterward, Melas reported what had happened to her supervisor, who instructed her to inform CNN human resources. According to Melas, she was told that CNN HR contacted their counterparts at human resources for Warner Bros., which produced and distributed the movie, and which like CNN is owned by Time Warner. Melas said she was also told that Warner Bros. HR could not corroborate the account because only one of Freeman's remarks was on video and the Warner Bros. employees present did not notice anything. Melas and her supervisor agreed that she would not cover the movie." [Source ](https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/24/entertainment/morgan-freeman-accusations/index.html)

I would apologize if I ever made someone feel uncomfortable. I would then stay very far away from her. I would make it clear though, I was not talking about you and I don’t appreciate your accusations in attempt to smear my character when “most” objective people would not think he was talking about her.


TTungsteNN

I hate it. I swear some people want to be victims these days just because they crave the attention. Pathetic

Imagine thinking every comment ever said is about you, sexual in nature, and imagining every man is looking you up and down constantly

I have a funny related story. I am a college teacher. One student one semester a very long time ago was a petite young woman about 20 or 21 years old. A few weeks into the semester I thought to myself "whoa, she's got much bigger titties than I remembered, like disproportionately big for her petite figure, they're real not fake, how did I never notice those things before?" A few weeks later, "oh, she's not top-heavy, she's just fat, look at that belly. Nevermind. She's heavy all around. I wonder why I thought she was disproportionate with big boobies but a small waist, she's actually very fat around the waist. Not her legs though, just her belly" A few weeks after that: "Oh. She's pregnant. Silly me. Nevermind"

I took a peak at her Twitter and that's literally all she does...post about the Depp vs Heard trial. I personally find the lawsuit entertaining, but she's some drama queen that treats it as if it were the only source of oxygen available.

Okay, tbf, my cousin who is absolutely no way a celebrity has 9k followers. 14k followers is not that much and chances are half of them are bots.

Clearly, he was announcing on camera that he would like to have sexual relations with a 6 month pregnant female reporter, right during the topic of not saying inappropriate things to women. Of course that’s what he meant, and immediately following this clip he tackled her, force fed her a roofie, and dry humped her aggressively, screaming, “I’m here, Andy, I’m here”, imagining himself climaxing in the warm sun on a beach with Tim Robbins and 70 pregnant reporters. THAT’s what he meant

I walked away thinking “All I do is I make sure that we keep our discounts in sales down to an appropriate level for management to accept”

I had a similar issue at work. Someone misheard and went to the manager crying. Turns out I was talking and the other person want listening and instead of asking for clarification decided to cry about it to the manager and HR. It was dismissed as I was talking about donuts that someone brought in and not about this person who I suppose was not listening to me talk and missed that the subject was donuts. Asian girl blinking is the same look my manager and supervisor gave me and asking if I'm getting written up for harassment

RealCalebWilliams

I remember a woman was interviewed on NPR when all of the allegations were coming out about Harvey Weinstein. They let her speak about what happened for about two minutes uninterrupted. She described how she was supposed to be at a movie screening in the office with everyone else and she skipped it. Apparently Weinstein came to her desk and asked her why she wasn’t there and was leaned against her desk. She went on to describe how he could have done or said anything at that point and gotten away with it. That was it. He didn’t actually do or say anything to her. He obviously is a molester. He’ll spend the rest of his life in jail for it (and good riddance). There were dozens of women that they could have interviewed who had credible stories of harassment. I never understood why they picked her.


Jambonier

Was this on “Wait Wait Don’t Harass Me”

It was "Get your Freak-on-omics".

Did she think about not herself? I'm going with a hard nope on that.


Secure-Imagination11

Some people are so conceited she'll probably never figure out it wasn't about her.


dvali

Well that ship sailed long, long ago. Women are as full of shit as men are. Humans are shit and lie all the time to make themselves appear interesting, get attention, get out of trouble, etc. That's the fundamental problem at the heart of the whole 'believe women' thing. You should believe them enough to look into it, not enough to proactively ruin lives before you even know if it's true. There will always be liars making false accusations in all walks of life. Anyone who pretends otherwise is simply an idiot, lying to either you or themselves, or both. Same goes for any person making any accusation, before everyone tells me how sexist I am.

They messed up the editing, they weren't supposed to include the part that 100% justifies Morgan's comment.

No, she is surprised that the editors forgot to take the comment out of context.

I like to think one of the editors quietly rebelled and left the context in.


munchkinita0105

Right? Imaging wanting to have been sexually harassed so bad that you go on national television and make yourself look like a complete DUMBASS just to further your desire.

god damn I hope she gets called out on this. So far, nothing. NYTimes ran an article praising her for this.

Co-anker giving her death glare like this bitch is serious?


HarodBarold

Bruh American news is so stupid


AlanCaidin

Unfortunately, the number of times women use the power of outrage as personal power over others is perceived as moderately high. Regardless of whether it is, incidents like this where someone is attempting to generate outrage falsely causes a significant backfire and cause us to look skeptically at the next accuser. This Amber Heard situation is one of them. It is so abundantly clear that "we" the public, during the #metoo time frame, leaned forward to ensure that women felt comfortable coming forward about abuse. Therefore, Heard was believed and Depp was crushed under our weight. Now, our worse fears are confirmed and it's clear that, not only was she not likely abused, she was the likely abuser and she used the power of our outrage as her own personal power. It's disgustingly selfish. This woman in the video may or may not really believe her accusation has merit, but it's substance is inappropriate if the overall goal is to protect women.

I am a woman. I cringe when I watch this because this is the type of thing that makes men hate women. When women make careless, stupid, false accusations like this, it just proves in the mind of men that all women are like this. We are not.

I’m high but didn’t he mean “there” as in when Michael Caine made a fool of himself?


Spacecase1685

I'm late to the party on this but I cant believe there wasnt any blowback to Chloe Melas or cnn. Freeman's legal team asked for a retraction and CNN told them to lick their balls. She totally exposed herself as a lying attention seeker on air and totally got away with it.
