LOS ANGELES (AP) - The woman who was with Morgan Freeman the
night of a car crash that left both injured insists she was never romantically linked to Freeman and is suing the actor for negligence.
Demaris Meyer and her lawyer, Gloria Allred, held a press
conference Wednesday announcing that Meyer has filed a lawsuit
against the 71-year-old Oscar winner.
In the days following the accident last August, Freeman's
lawyer, Bill Luckett, told media outlets that Freeman and his wife
of 24 years, Myrna Colley-Lee, had been separated since December
2007 and were getting a divorce. Several media outlets reported
that the 48-year-old Meyer was Freeman's mistress.
Meyer says she met Freeman the night of the accident at a dinner
party. She says Freeman agreed to let her stay at one of three
houses on his property, so that she "would have an easier drive to
work the next morning."
