Morgan Freeman denies assault allegations

Morgan Freeman issued a second apology after eight people accused him of sexual harassment or inappropriate behaviour.

In his statement issued late Friday, Freeman said: “I am devastated that 80 years of my life is at risk of being undermined, in the blink of an eye,” by Thursday’s media reports.

All victims of assault and harassment deserve to be heard. And we need to listen to them. But it is not right to equate horrific incidents of sexual assault with misplaced compliments or humour.

I admit that I am someone who feels a need to try to make women—and men—feel appreciated and at ease around me. As part of that, I would often try to joke with and compliment women, in what I thought was a light-hearted and humorous way.

Clearly I was not always coming across the way I intended. And that is why I apologized Thursday and will continue to apologise to anyone I might have upset, however unintentionally.

But I also want to be clear: I did not create unsafe work environments. I did not assault women. I did not offer employment or advancement in exchange for sex. Any suggestion that I did so is completely false.”

‘Sesame Street’ sues makers of puppet comedy ‘The Happytime Murders’

The company behind “Sesame Street” is suing the makers of Melissa McCarthy‘s upcoming raunchy comedy, “The Happytime Murders,” for referencing the popular kids show in its marketing campaign.

The R-rated film follows “two clashing detectives”: Melissa McCarthy and her partner, a puppet named Phil Phillips in Los Angeles as they work together “to solve the brutal murders of the former cast of a beloved classic puppet television show,” according to its website.

But it’s not the film’s use of profane puppets that “Sesame Street” is upset about. It’s the tagline used in the film’s marketing campaign — “No Sesame. All Street.”
