The millions he gets for promoting the world cup should ease any issues.

The most interesting part of that poorly written article is that in 2008 Morgan Freeman was driving a 1997 Nissan Maxima. Apparently, the man is smart with his money.

One car accident leading to broken hand with nerve damage to Freeman and other injuries to his passenger. He was driving Ms. Meyer's car on a dark two lane highway near his home in the Mississippi delta. Went off the road , flipped and landed in a ditch.

She sued him and the lawsuit said he had been drinking; but it was settled without disclosure of terms

He’s had some backwards ass views for a while.

Thinks racism goes away if we stop discussing it and that poor people just need to bootstrap up to get out of poverty.

Reminds me of when Samuel L Jackson challenged an interviewer to say the N word, pretending that there would be no outside-the-interview consequences and that because he was black, he could "ok" the use of the word and nobody could criticize the interviewer for saying it.

I may have misunderstood his racism view but I understood him to say that things such as black history month shouldn't exist because it is just history and should be treated as such. Basically, treated equally rather than have a specific month which I have to agree with. The way to reduce racism is to bring down barriers, not build them up so to speak, the US as a nation hasn't got a massive amount of history, of the history, major parts are related to either civil rights or slavery, a major part of black history in the US. It should be treated as mainstream and not a thing a month every year

You can see his limp hand in the Dark Knight Rising. Near the end when he is climbing a ladder to escape the water he clearly has no function of one of his hands.

He's a true piece of shit. This guy leaves a trail of 'out of court settlements' behind him. Not only for being a drunk, but a serious piece of work around the ladies.

The fact that family sue their own family is another reason for why the US is a dumpster fire. this culture of sueing for every little thing is frankly utterly stupid.

Plus, if you are in the car knowing the driver has been drinking? You only have yourself to blame for letting a drunk driver actually drive the car.

It isn't really like that in my experience. Often the situation is created by the insurance industry. You get injured, are on the hook for a six-figure sum, and your insurance forces a suit because they would rather claw the money from another party than pay it themselves.
