Morgan Freeman: Divorce From Wife of 24 Years

August 6, 2008

Actor Morgan Freeman is still in the hospital recovering from his Sunday night car accident and now he says that he is seeking a divorce from his wife.

Freeman, who is recovering from a broken arm, a broken elbow and minor shoulder damage, has been married to costumer Myrna Colley-Lee for the past 24 years but it looks like their marriage may have been over for a while.

“(They) are involved in a divorce action,” the actor’s Mississippi-based attorney and business partner Bill Luckett said.

“And for legal and practical purposes, (Freeman and Colley-Lee) have been separated since December of 2007.”

Hmm…why the rush to put this news out there. Was the female in the car, now identified as Demaris Meyer, more than just a friend???
