(AP) Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman apologized on Thursday to anyone who may have felt “uncomfortable or disrespected” by his behavior, after CNN reported that multiple women have accused the A-list actor of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior on movie sets and in other professional settings.
“Anyone who knows me or has worked with me knows I am not someone who would intentionally offend or knowingly make anyone feel uneasy,” the actor, now 80, said in a statement sent to The Associated Press by his publicist, Stan Rosenfield. “I apologize to anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected — that was never my intent.”
Freeman won the 2005 Oscar for best supporting actor for “Million Dollar Baby.” He was nominated four other times, including for “Driving Miss Daisy” and “The Shawshank Redemption,” and is renowned for his prolific voiceover work.
Earlier this year, he was honored by SAG-AFTRA with a lifetime achievement award. In a statement to The Associated Press, the organization, which represents actors, journalists and others, called the allegations “compelling and devastating” and contrary to its attempts to make sure working environments are safe in the industry.
“Any accused person has the right to due process, but it is our starting point to believe the courageous voices who come forward to report incidents of harassment,” the statement read. “Given Mr. Freeman recently received one of our union’s most prestigious honors recognizing his body of work, we are therefore reviewing what corrective actions may be warranted at this time.”
The CNN report includes the account of a production assistant on the 2017 heist film “Going In Style,” who detailed an incident in which the actor repeatedly tried to lift up her skirt, and asked if she was wearing underwear. She alleged that Freeman subjected her to unwanted touching and comments on a near-daily basis on the film.
Several women alleged that he made frequent comments about their bodies, or would stare at them in ways that made them feel uncomfortable. CNN spoke to 16 people about Freeman; eight said they had experienced harassment or inappropriate behavior, and eight said they had witnessed such conduct. Seven of them described harassment or inappropriate behavior at Revelations Entertainment, a company he co-founded with Lori McCreary.
The CNN report also cited accounts by three entertainment reporters of inappropriate remarks they allege Freeman made at press junkets, including the report’s co-author, Chloe Melas, who describes Freeman shaking her hand, “not letting go while repeatedly looking her up and down and saying more than once a variation of, ‘I wish I was there’” — and also “You are ripe.”

(Evening Standard) Eight Argentinian police officers have been fired after blaming mice for the disappearance of half a ton of cannabis from a police warehouse.
They claimed rodents had eaten the stockpile after it was discovered missing during an inspection at the warehouse for impounded drugs in Pilar, 60km away from Buenos Aires.
Around 6,000kg of cannabis had been stored there for four years, but only 5,460kg was found.
Former police chief commissioner Javier Specia was hauled before a judge along with three of his subordinates, but they all claimed the drugs had been “eaten by mice”.
However, scientists at Buenos Aires University cast doubt on the claim.
“Buenos Aires University experts have explained that mice wouldn't mistake the drug for food, and that if a large group of mice had eaten it, a lot of corpses would have been found in the warehouse,” said a spokesperson for the judge.
The four police officers will testify before the judge on May 4.

In April 2017 Chief Keef was arrested in Miami when cops claim they witnessed a weed deal between a passenger in Keef's vehicle and another car.
The 22-year old Chicago rapper, born Keith Cozart, was also given a field sobriety test at the time, which he failed.
He was charged with felony DUI, and we now know the laundry list of narcotics that were in his system, thanks to TMZ.
The website reports that Keef's urine tested positive for Morphine, Codeine, Promethazine, THC, Hydrocodone, Norcodeine, Dihydrocodeine and Hydromorphone.
That's a whopping total of eight drugs.
The State's attorney refiled the DUI charge on Wednesday after dropping it Tuesday due to a scheduling conflict.

The domestic violence case against XXXTentacion has gotten even more serious.
TMZ reports that prosecutors have hit him with eight new felony charges, all different degrees of witness tampering and witness harassment, bringing the total to 15.
The 19-year old rapper, born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, was initially charged with domestic battery by strangulation, aggravated battery of a pregnant woman and false imprisonment.
The new allegations stem from phone calls XXX made in October 2016, when he was initially arrested for allegedly beating his then ex-girlfriend.
According to TMZ, law enforcement sources say XXX made numerous recorded phone calls while locked up. Evidence gathered from those calls led to the new charges.
Prosecutors believe he tried to coerce his ex into not testifying against him.
Because of this new information, a Miami-Dade County judge sent XXXTentacion to jail during a hearing Friday, December 15, after ruling he had violated his bond.
He's being held without bail and has no phone privileges. If convicted of all charges XXXTentacion faces decades in prison.

Kodak Black caught a major break in a Fort Lauderdale, Florida courtroom on Wednesday, April 26, when he was found not guilty of assaulting a Miami strip club bartender. But he still could face significant prison time after being found culpable of five house arrest violations.
Jennifer Cunningham
Black's defense team called several witnesses to dispute bartender Jennifer Cunningham's claim that the rapper had attacked her in February inside Club Climax.
Fellow bartender Tonya Durham told Broward Circuit Judge Michael Lynch, that it was Cunningham who attacked Black and that he was in a defensive posture, leaning back with his hands up.
The club's manager, Baljit Singh, and a security guard assigned to take care of Black testified that Cunningham became angry when the 19-year old rejected her sexual advances, according to ABC News 10.
"When she gave him a hug she grabbed his genitals and said I want to talk to you and he proceeded to tell her you are not my type and she got mad and walked out," Singh said.
Black, born Dieuson Octave, will next appear in court on May 4th for a sentencing hearing regarding the house arrest violations, which include getting kicked out of a court mandated anger management class and leaving the state of Florida to attend an Adrien Broner boxing match without permission from his probation officer.
The "Tunnel Vision" hit maker could receive an 8-year prison sentence.

Kodak Black was back in court for a 2nd day on Friday, April 21, facing several probation violation charges.
The 19-year old "No Flocking" rapper, born Dieuson Octave, is accused of disrupting and getting kicked out of a court mandated anger management class, attacking a bartender at a Miami strip club and leaving the state of Florida to attend an Adrien Broner boxing match without permission from his probation officer.
Jennifer Cunnigham
Bartender Jennifer Cunningham testified on the 1st day of the trial that Black allegedly attacked her while at Club Lexx gentlemen's club. But under cross ecamination she admitted to not seeking medical help until after she had contacted a lawyer.
Cunningham also admitted to calling Black's manager threatening a lawsuit.
Tonya Durham
On Friday, Cunningham's testimony was undermined by another bartender who was working that night.
Tonya Durham told Broward Circuit Judge Michael Lynch, that it was Cunningham who attacked Black and that he was in a defensive posture, leaning back with his hands up.
Durham said she did not see the rapper kick Cunningham.
Black has already turned down a plea deal from prosecutors. He is staring at up to 8 years in prison if found guilty of violating his probation. Since a probation violation does not require a jury to determine guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, Lynch will have to make the determination.

Esteban Santiago identified as Ft. Lauderdale airport gunman
Video After The Jump
(Reuters) A gunman believed to be an Iraq war veteran opened fire at a baggage carousel at Fort Lauderdale's international airport on Friday, killing five people before being taken into custody, officials and witnesses said.
Five people died and eight were wounded, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel told reporters at the airport, where air traffic was shut down.
The gunman had arrived on a flight with a checked gun in his bag, Broward County Commissioner Chip LaMarca said on Twitter. The shooter claimed his bag and went to the bathroom to load the gun before coming out and firing, LaMarca said.
Cellphone video posted on social media showed victims on the floor next to a carousel, with people on their knees attempting to provide aid. At least two victims had pools of blood from apparent head wounds.
The shooter was unharmed as law enforcement officers never fired a shot, Israel said, adding it was too early to assign a motive.
"At this point, it looks like he acted alone," Israel said.
Nonetheless, he said "this scene is considered fluid and active" as police searched the airport.
Distraught witness to Ft. Lauderdale shooting: "I had a perfect picture of him coming and walking up and down and shooting people..." pic.twitter.com/2witNkr7Yp
— ABC News (@ABC) January 6, 2017
The shooter was identified as Esteban Santiago, 26, and had a U.S. military identification, according to a spokesman for U.S. Senator Bill Nelson of Florida, who spoke with officials at the Transportation Security Administration.

A 26-year-old by the name of Esteban Santiago was honorably discharged from the Army National Guard last year and served in Iraq, a U.S. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The shooter, who wore a "Star Wars" T-shirt, said nothing as he fired, witnesses told MSNBC. He appeared to use a 9 mm handgun, which he tossed aside upon running out of ammunition, surrendering to police, MSNBC reported.
The attack was the latest in a series of mass shootings that have plagued the United States in recent years, some inspired by militants with an extreme view of Islam, others carried out by loners or the mentally disturbed who have easy access to weapons under U.S. gun laws.
About 90 minutes after the attack, panic broke out anew with passengers and police running frantically about at a separate terminal, but Israel said there were no other reports of shots being fired.
John Schlicher, who told MSNBC he saw the attack, described the shooter as a slender man who was "directly firing at us" while passengers waited for their bags.
"I put my head down and prayed," Schlicher said, adding that his wife gave first aid to someone who had been shot in the head. His mother-in-law used her sweater to tend to another victim but it turned out that person was already dead, he said.
Mark Lea, another eyewitness, told MSNBC "there was no rhyme or reason to it."
"He didn't say anything, he was quiet the whole time, he didn't yell anything," Lea said.
Security officials corralled dozens of passengers in several groups.
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is the second largest in South Florida, serving as an intercontinental gateway, with Miami International Airport known as the primary airport for international flights in the area.
HISTORY OF SHOOTINGS
Nearly two months ago a former Southwest Airlines worker killed an employee of the company at Oklahoma City's airport in what police called a premeditated act.
The deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history took place last June, when a gunman apparently inspired by Islamic State killed 49 people and wounded 53 at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
One of the most shocking was in 2012, when a man entered an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, and shot dead 20 first-graders and six adults.
Attackers have exploited security officials' focus on preventing attacks on airplanes rather than inside airports. In Western Europe and the United States, terminals are easily accessible public spaces.
But at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, widely seen as a model for security, private companies trained by the national security agency use bomb-detectors, profile passengers and question travelers under the watch of police at the airport's entrance.

Video After The Jump
HOUSTON (KTRK) --Investigators are trying to figure out why someone would shoot a man in the back of the head at a southwest Houston gas station overnight.
Police say the man who pulled the trigger killed local rapper Christopher Barriere.
Barriere, known as Mr. 3-2, was a member of Houston's Screwed Up Click. While signed to Rap-A-Lot Records he was involved with three groups: The Convicts, Southside Playaz and Blac Monks, and released one solo album. He has collaborated on tracks with Snoop Dogg, UGK, Scarface, 8 Ball & MJG, South Park Mexican & Too $hort.
According to investigators, the suspect drove away then came back and shot another victim in the face.
Houston police say there were four men at the gas station Thursday night, and that the men all know each other.
Police say two of the men went inside the store and one of the men outside pulled out a pistol and shot the first victim in the back of the head.
The suspect then drove away but came back.
According to investigators, he had a shotgun and fired it at the second victim, hitting him in the face and other people who were simply at the gas station at the wrong time.
"Unfortunately the shot gun blast, not all the pellets hit its intended target and continued past and struck multiple other targets including another witness who was shot in the leg," HPD Sgt. Michael Arrington said.
The suspect drove away in a white or grey four-door car.
Police are looking at surveillance video and hope that will help them find the suspect.
