CNN revealed yesterday that they had spoken with eight people who say they were harassed on film sets or on promotional tours, and eight others who say they witnessed Freeman's alleged inappropriate behavior.
"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 80-year-old actor said in his statement.
"I apologize to anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected — that was never my intent."
CNN revealed that Freeman - whose distinguished acting career spans five decades - rubbed one source's lower back and tried lifting up her skirt while she was working set of 'Going In Style' back in 2015.
He is also accused of making inappropriate comments to numerous others, including CNN reporter, Chloe Melas.
Melas, who helped write the expose, said Freeman told her, "You are ripe,” during a press junket. Melas was pregnant at the time.
Other sources described instances where Freeman made inappropriate comments about women's appearances and stared at their bodies.
These sources told the American news channel that they did not file formal complaints out of fear of retaliation.
