Morgan Freeman
On May 24, 2018, Melas and CNN media and entertainment deputy editor An Phung wrote on the network's website that 14 women and two men, all but one unnamed, had experienced or witnessed "what some called harassment and others called inappropriate behavior by Freeman" over the years. Melas alleged Freeman had made inappropriate comments to her the year before during a press junket for his moving Going in Style. Freeman responded in a statement the same day, saying, "Anyone who knows me or has worked with me knows I am not someone who would intentionally offend or knowingly make anyone feel uneasy. I apologize to anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected โ that was never my intent." He added the following day, "I would often try to joke with and compliment women, in what I thought was a light-hearted and humorous way. Clearly I was not always coming across the way I intended." Following continued widespread news coverage, Freeman's attorney wrote to CNN president Jeff Zucker asking for a retraction and an apology.
Personal life
In late 2012, Melas met New York City restaurateur Brian Mazza. They were married in New York City on October 25, 2014. On July 3, 2017 the couple had a son, Leo DeSales Mazza.
