Passenger files lawsuit against Morgan Freeman
Remember when actor Morgan Freeman was in a car wreck last year? Well now the passenger who was in the vehicle with him is suing him for more than $75,000 to help pay her medical bills.
The car wreck occurred in Charleston Mississippi when Freeman lost control of the vehicle, hit a ditch and rolled. Freeman suffered a few broken bones and the passenger Demaris Meyer suffered head injuries and was airlifted to a hospital.
Demaris Meyer held a press conference Feb. 25, and announced that she has filed a lawsuit against Freeman claiming he failed to properly operate the vehicle.
At the time of the accident, Freeman was going through a divorce with his wife. Some people speculated that Meyer was “the other woman” and that she is responsible for breaking up their marriage.
Meyer addressed this issue during the press conference. She said “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. I had hoped and prayed that Mr. Freeman or his representatives would have set the record straight and cleared my name, but they have not done so and that is why I have chosen to come forward to tell the truth about our relationship.”
“I am not Miss Daisy as I have been referred to in the press,” “I was not and never have been his mistress, nor was I the cause of his marital breakup.”
Meyer said she met Freeman at a dinner party, and he invited her to stay at one of his houses by herself for the night so that she would have an easier time driving to work the next morning, and he was a perfect gentleman. The accident occurred while he was driving her to the house.
I’m not sure if buy that explanation that Freeman was only just going to let a complete stranger stay in his home for the night without expecting anything in return, but I wasn’t there, so I can’t dispute it.
By the way, her lawyer is none other than ambulance chaser Gloria Allred.
