The woman, who was in the car with Morgan Freeman when it flipped over last summer in Mississippi. She was not only injured, but she has been haunted by the press. At the time of the accident, nobody knew who she was or why Freeman was driving with her while in the middle of a divorce from his wife.

On Wednesday, Demaris Meyer came forward to both announce a federal lawsuit against Freeman, seeking money to pay for injuries and to clarify her relationship with him.

“I am not ‘Miss Daisy’ as I have been referred to in the press,” Meyer tearfully told a news conference. “I was not and never have been his mistress, nor was I the cause of his marital breakup.”

Meyer says she went to dinner that night last July with Freeman, Freeman’s friend and attorney William Luckett, and Luckett’s wife at the Bayou Bend Golf & Country Club. Afterward, she accepted Freeman’s invitation to stay the night at his guesthouse.

She says they went together in her car, and Freeman drove because he knew the way.

The lawsuit is asking for an amount more than $75,000.00.
