Demaris Meyer, the “family friend” who was riding with Morgan Freeman the night of his serious car accident last year, filed papers today in Mississippi Federal Court, suing the actor for medical expenses, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and lost wages. She suffered a broken wrist, broken scapula, a torn labrum, and cuts and bruises after Morgan accidentally ran his car off the highway in August.
Demaris also held a press conference today, where she accused Morgan of drinking prior to the accident, and denied that the pair were having an affair. She claimed that Morgan invited her to stay at one of his homes after a night out having dinner and drinks with friends. Morgan, who assured Demaris that she would have the house to herself, was driving her to their destination when he lost control and ran his car off the road.
Morgan has yet to release a statement about the lawsuit.
