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.
