As Twitchy told you, CNN reported that actor Morgan Freeman has been accused of “inappropriate behavior” by eight women. Following the report, Freeman released a statement that clears things up. Or … not:

"Anyone who knows me or has worked with me knows I am not someone who would intentionally offend or knowingly make anyone feel uneasy. I apologize to anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected — that was never my intent." — Morgan Freeman response to CNN report

Morgan Freeman says he would never "intentionally offend or knowingly make anyone feel uneasy.” He is not denying any part of CNN reporting — just says if he made anyone uncomfortable, it wasn’t intentional > https://t.co/Rs3zphHqJz

Yeah … “I apologize if you were offended” is usually not the best way to go in these cases. Freeman may not be doing himself any favors here.

For a lot of people, coupled with the lack of a clear denial, it’s evidence of Freeman’s guilt:
