IT’S ALL JUST AN ACT

-

Sexual misconduct allegation­s against Morgan Freeman – another handsoff Hollywood legend – are as surprising as traffic on Memorial Day.

Years ago, the story was out there that Freeman (photo) and his stepgrandd­aughter E’Dena Hines had a sexually inappropri­ate relationsh­ip – which was vehemently denied-but brought up again in court when E’Dena’s boyfriend stood trial for her murder.

Allegation­s aren’t proof but even Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby never got accused of having sex with a stepdaught­er or step-granddaugh­ter. Woody Allen? That’s another level of hell right there. Thing is, if a guy plays a good guy on screen like Cosby did, or a nebbish as Woody Allen did, we kind of believe they are like that in real life. That’s why it’s called acting, as opposed to say, accounting.

On Friday, SAG-AFTRA issued a statement saying that they are considerin­g “corrective actions” regarding Freeman’s recent Lifetime Achievemen­t award.

There’s not enough warehouse space in Hollywood for all the awards that should be returned by these casting couch creeps.
