Morgan Freeman is fighting back against allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior.

We presented CNN with objective evidence, including videotapes and on-the-record denials by the claimed 'victims,' that the alleged incident that gave rise to the story never happened," he said in the statement to ABC News. "We proved to CNN, beyond any doubt, that the whole story was built on fakery. The credibility of the entire CNN attack on Mr. Freeman has now been undermined. And in choosing to ignore all of the evidence that we presented, CNN has confirmed our concerns about its reporters, its lack of oversight, and its gross misconduct in unjustifiably attacking Mr. Freeman."

In his 10-page letter, Schwartz accused one of the co-authors of the report, Chloe Melas, of pursuing the story based on something she believed Freeman said to her during a press junket for his film "Going In Style."

Melas, who was six months pregnant at the time, told CNN's Headline News that Freeman said to her, "Boy do I wish I was there." She said he was also "looking me up and down."

But Schwartz said Freeman's "I wish I was there" comment was in response to a story his co-star Michael Caine had just told about congratulating a woman on becoming pregnant, only to learn to that she was not pregnant.
