Morgan Freeman is being sued by a woman who accuses the actor of negligence when they were involved in a car crash in which she was a passenger.<\/p>\n
Demaris Meyer also denied that she was Freeman’s mistress, saying the two were not involved in a romantic relationship.<\/p>\n
Last August, the 71-year-old Freeman was driving Meyer’s Nissan Maxima while she was in the passenger seat. Authorities say the couple was driving through a dark highway in Mississippi when the car went off the road, flipping several times before landing upright.<\/p>\n
Meyer says the crash, which left her with a broken wrist and torn labrum, has changed her life.<\/p>\n
“I could not take care of myself for several months. I have not been able to go back to work and still am suffering both physically and emotionally as a result of the accident,” she said on Wednesday at a news conference at the office of her lawyer, Gloria Allred.<\/p>\n
Meyer did not announce how much she was seeking in the suit, but said she was looking to recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damages, permanent disability and pain and suffering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
