One of the allegations comes from a production assistant who worked on "Going In Style". The assistant told CNN that Morgan tried to lift up her skirt to "see if she's wearing underwear" multiple times and also commented on her body.

The production assistant also says that Morgan's co-star Alan Arkin saw the incidents happen and told Freeman to stop.

Another woman that worked on the set of "Now You See Me" claims that Freeman also made comments about her body and other female members on the set. She claims that women on set knew to cover up when Freeman was around.

A CNN reporter also claims that she was harassed by Freeman's sexual misconduct. She claims that during a media junket in 2015 when she was 6 months pregnant, Freeman told her that she "looked ripe" and that he wished that he could be there when she gave birth.
