She was the woman in the Nissan with Morgan Freeman when it flipped over last summer in Mississippi. She was not only injured, but chased by rumor and innuendo, since at the time nobody knew who she was or why Freeman was driving with her while in the midst of a divorce from his wife.
On Wednesday, Demaris Meyer, 48, came forward to both announce a federal lawsuit against the Oscar-winning actor 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."
