Visa cuts off Morgan Freeman commercials after harassment report
By Josh Delk - 05/25/18 04:06 PM EDT

Visa announced Friday that it will stop airing commercials featuring the Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman after allegations of sexual harassment surfaced on Thursday.

“We are aware of the allegations that have been made against Mr. Freeman,” a Visa spokesman told The New York Times in a statement. “At this point, Visa will be suspending our marketing in which the actor is featured.”

Freeman, who has done voice-over work for the credit card company for years, was accused by eight women of harassment or inappropriate behavior. Eight others told CNN they had witnessed Freeman's conduct on-set.
