Hi I'm Megan Edwards for BareTalk TV. Today we are talking about a huge
scandal about Morgan Freeman being accused of sexual assault by eight women
and its ties to vVancouver because Morgan was [going to go] the voices for TransLink
ads temporarily for this summer, and they have decided to cut him
off completely, and then Seth Rogen said, 'hey if you don't have him, why don't you
have me? Cuz I'm from Vancouver, I can do it!' and TransLink said 'okay, DM us or
we'll DM you and we'll talk about it. 'So what I mean, let's start with like the
main thing, Morgan Freeman being accused of sexual assault, thoughts? - Terrible.
I mean sexual assault, I mean there's been so much of it happening to with
Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, and these big actors that we'd
loved and respected coming out with all these allegations, it's you know
It's really unfortunate. - It's so disappointing to when you're like a huge
fan of them and you like 'I love this movie.' And they're like, now this movie's
tainted, from because of his actions and he really only - I heard of one situation
where he was trying to get a girl to lift up her skirt and ask him what she
had under her skirt and he only stopped when another actor Alan Arkin I believe
his name is, said 'you know, stop it.' - Well a lot of this is about a sense of power,
right? An entitlement and I guess maybe you have that sense of power until
somebody calls you out on it and so stop, so maybe maybe that's what it is but we
see more and more women coming forward now because the first one did the first
few did, if we now have reports that there's eight I'm not going to be
surprised in the coming days that there's gonna be more than that, it's
hard to be the first one to come forward, but yeah we've all
read about some of the the things he said and to those women and it's
kind of like, if something starts really small, so maybe in your head you justify,
'well this isn't wrong I'm only asking to her to lift up her skirt. ' Well then it
goes a little further, 'Okay now I'm doing this,' but that's
how, okay psychologically speaking, that's how people get away with things
because they start small and they can justify small things and they can
justify small steps from that sometimes until somebody calls you on it and until
you get caught and then that power has been taken away. - No matter what kind of
work environment you're in though, you don't ask
to lift up your skirt, whether you're a big movie star whether you have power,
whether you're here with us, it's just common sense, it courtesy,
it's disgusting. - Well not everybody has common sense though,
right? - Well you have a quote though.' - I said to them I'm gonna hide a quote under my leg and if it's
appropriate to use it, well okay well here's the quote because I was reading a
lot about this and I'm very interested in the whole times up and me too movement and,
I'm very very interested in that I take very good care of the the girls that I
teach and I'm very aware of all these things so one of the things he said is:
'Anyone who knows me or has worked with me knows I'm not someone who would
intentionally offend or knowingly make anyone feel uneasy. Making women feel
uncomfortable was never my intent.' So just that the way that to me that that's
worded, 'well it's not my intent, but I'm gonna do it anyway because I want to. My
intent isn't to make you feel bad, my intent is to do something I want to do.'
So in reading it like this, it's not like okay what I did was really wrong, it's
like well that's not my intent. - It kind of brings me back to the Kevin Spacey
when he had came up with his allegations and then ultimately used himself being
gay as the reason why which threw me very to be very angry obviously because
you know being gay that's extremely offensive it's like oh yeah because I'm
gay I can you know, sexually harass teenagers, and other people. That's
absolutely no excuse, it makes it more disgusting, there's no justification in
all for any form of sexual harassment. - And I hate too when people are like, 'well he's 80s,
old.' I'm like 'so just because he's 80 doesn't mean he can't respect women, like
you know 60 years ago you could still respect women, you didn't have to say
that kind of shit.' - We have to understand to that but for a lot of people because
they've been getting away with things like this for so long, they're not really
sure what sexual harassment is. So asking someone to lift up their skirt in some
guys minds, 'well that's not sexual harassment, because I'm not touching her.' -
He may just not be educated on that. - Well, a lot of people aren't and we
have to, we have to be the ones to say 'hang on, no no, this is wrong.' - Yeah -'These
are the definitions of what harassment is," and in people's minds they
have understand it, 'no, no, no, no, the thought of it is wrong.' - So really quickly,
so we talked the basic part of the the story about
Morgan Freeman, now he's been cut off the TransLink ads, he's done, and Seth Rogen is
like, 'hey like, what about me?' I think that would be hilarious because he has such a
stoner voice. - I vote Seth, can anyone imitate his giggle, his laugh, I can't. -
ahaha-ahaha-ahaha- Station Nw West aha-haa - I just kind of think it would make just the
experience of crammed transit, just more fun, a little more tolerable. -
Yes, he is from, Vancouver! - He is from here, so what can we start something here about, 'vote for Seth.' Like
I don't know can we start that? - Him or Ryan Reynolds would be really good. - I like, I
like, I think he's neat. -I think he is good too. - Perfect choice I think. - Well, what do you guys think? Do you
think that Seth Rogen should voice the TransLink VISA ads? Do you think someone
else, like maybe Ryan Reynolds should, and what do you think about the whole Morgan
Freeman incident. Comment below, I'm Megan Edwards that's BareTalk TV.
