Morgan Freeman Being Sued
Posted by Media Outrage on February 26th, 2009
Morgan Freeman is being sued by the woman who was in the car with him during his car accident in August.
Via Reuters:
A woman who was Morgan Freeman’s passenger in an August car crash sued the Oscar winner for negligence on Wednesday and said she wants to clear her name from claims she was his mistress.
Demaris Meyer, the passenger, also said that despite media reports to the contrary, she and Freeman met the night of the accident at a country club, where they dined with mutual friends, and that she was not in a romantic affair with him.
“I have been labeled as the ‘other woman’ and have been accused of having caused the breakup of Mr. Freeman’s marriage. Nothing could be further from the truth,” Meyer said at a news conference in Los Angeles.
She is represented by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred.
Meyer’s lawsuit was filed on Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi Delta Division. The crash happened the night of August 3, 2008, near a home that Freeman keeps in Charleston, Mississippi, when he lost control of his Nissan Maxima and it struck a ditch and rolled over.
“We are confident this will all be resolved,” said Ken Sunshine, a spokesman for Freeman. “We have no further comment on the current litigation.”
Meyer said she was riding with Freeman that night because they were going to his ranch, since it was closer to her work than a friend’s home where she originally planned to stay. She said the actor assured her she would not only have her own bedroom at the ranch, but “her own house.”
“He was a perfect gentleman and I accepted his offer,” said Meyer, who lives in Tennessee, north of Freeman’s Mississippi home.
Meyer’s lawsuit also accuses Freeman of drinking before taking the wheel, but Mississippi authorities have not charged him with driving under the influence.
Freeman, 71, was hospitalized for four days after the collision, and his injuries included a broken arm and elbow.
Meyer was airlifted to a hospital and suffered numerous injuries, including a blow to the head resulting in cognitive difficulties and short-term memory loss, her lawsuit states. She has not returned to work as an executive assistant.
Meyer’s lawsuit accuses Freeman of negligence for failing to properly operate the car, and she is seeking unspecified damages in an amount to be proven at trial to cover medical expenses and her permanent disability, among other things.
At the time of the crash, Freeman was separated from his wife of 24 years and was in the midst of a divorce, which has not yet been finalized.
Freeman won an Oscar in 2005 for his supporting role in Clint Eastwood’s boxing drama “Million Dollar Baby.”

Okay let me get this st8, they met up and had dinner with mutal friends. So she was there watching him drink up.
Left with him because she was going 2 stay at the ranch which was not far from work, and he convinced her that not only would she have a room, but her own house.

Actually she was a friend of both him and his former wife. Turns out she was more a friend to him than his ex. His wife filed for divorce after the accident siting as one of the reasons his infidelity…
Peep this she lives in Memphis. He lives in Missippi. Morgan was in Memphis alone visiting her,she was in car going back to Mississippi with him. Not to see his wife but to stay with him in nearby hotel…. It’s fun to cheat when it’s done in the dark and the spouse does not know. When your shit is in the open the other person is not as attractive….. Pig ass bitch!!
Now you want money really cause the shit is over…….

Per Crazydaysandnights……The woman who was in that car accident last year with Morgan Freeman is suing him. You remember that accident don’t you? Morgan was boozing it up and no one knew who the woman was in the car with him. Everyone assumed it was his mistress and that they had been together a long time and she was a friend of Morgan’s wife ad Morgan invited her to spend the night with him. Well, according to the woman, Demaris Meyer, she has never been Morgan’s mistress, but does say he was drinking and driving everywhere that night. Oh, and she did say that Morgan invited her to spend the night at his place. But only in the guest house. She didn’t say whether he was also staying in the guest house
@ Ucanb2.. you are right this is bullll and more to the story

She need to stop lying. He needs to file a counter suit against
her for causing the accident. The accident didn’t occur because
he was drinking it happened because she was hitting him off with
the severe blow job and then he lost control when his 60
something yr old penis shot that load that almost sent him into
cardiac arrest. Mr Morgan I think you have a case

I have been in love wit this man for 15 years! Everytime I hear his voice on a movie I get goose bumps! I know he is a good man and if this lady was injured im sure he offered to pay all her medical bills and if he didn’t im sure his car insurance policy had med-pay so she can be hospitalized. This bitch is just tryin to make a quick buck, like the gold-diggin opportunist she is! I hate hoes, hoes hate me! So, morgan u need to call me and we can handle this bitch together, like Suge Knight do, and I won’t charge a dime for my services! Call Me!

Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
