Demaris Meyer (48), a woman who was with Morgan Freeman when he was involved in the car crash happened on August 3, 2008, filed a federal lawsuit on February 25 against the 71-year-old Oscar winner. Meyer suffered a broken left wrist and right scapula, various cuts and bruises, and memory loss so that she couldn't return to her work as an executive assistant. Therefore, Freeman was sued to pay for the injuries.
Meyer also expected Freeman to clarify the love rumor between them which had sparked as Freeman and his wife Myrna Colley-Lee had announced their split days after the crash. "I am not 'Miss Daisy' as I have been referred to in the press," Meyer desperately said during a news conference. "I was not and never have been his mistress, nor was I the cause of his marital breakup."
Meyer then stated that she met Freeman at a dinner party at the Bayou Bend Golf & Country Club last August along with Freeman's friend and attorney William Luckett, and Luckett's wife. Shortly after the dinner, she accepted Freeman's invitation to stay for the night at his guest house. So they went together and Freeman drove her Nissan since he knew the way. At around 11.30 P.M., Meyer reported that Freeman lost control of the car and moved to the right sight of the highway.
Gloria Allred, Meyer's attorney, didn't confirm whether Meyer has received compensation from an insurance company or how much money she expects to get from Freeman. The lawsuit is valued greater than 75,000 dollars. Meanwhile, a rep of Freeman stated that Freeman's confident the matter would be resolved.
