Morgan Freeman and wife to divorce after 24 years
As I told you yesterday, actor Morgan Freeman, 71, and his wife Myrna Colley-Lee, 67, are calling it quits after 24 years of marriage.
Colley-Lee had consulted with a divorce attorney last month after Freeman’s extramarital activities with one of her friends came to light.
According to a friend of the ‘Dark Knight’ actor, Freeman and his wife of 24 years, costumer Myrna Colley-Lee, have called it quits.Mississippi-based attorney Bill Luckett told US TV show Access Hollywood the couple “are involved in a divorce action.”
Luckett adds that “for legal and practical purposes, [Freeman and Colley-Lee] have been separated since December of 2007.”
The couple met in 1976 when both were working off-Broadway. (Source)
Freeman and Myrna’s former friend, 48-year-old Demaris Meyer were seriously injured Monday night when Freeman, who was driving Meyer’s 1997 Maxima, lost control of the vehicle and it left the road, rolling several times before landing in a ditch in Mississippi.
Freeman is recovering from a couple of broken bones. The extent of Meyer’s injuries are unknown.
According to sources, Colley-Lee has not visited her estranged husband in the hospital since his accident.

Good for them!! I am all for people divorcing when their aren’t sh*t together anymore!!!
Wow! So the lady really was her friend once upon a time……Well, Mrs. Freeman is about to GET PAID! If they had any type of pre-nup, it den expired after 24 years…….DAMN!
I thought that after a certain age divorce is not an option. Most couples stay together out of friendship and convience but have seperate bedrooms. She is 67. After being married for 24 yrs. what do you do. Dating is not an easy task. you don’t know who is on the DL.
ITA NYCutie,
To me it doesn’t make sense hanging on to something that’s a done deal….they been separated for months!

Katgirl,
Please tell me you are joking with the expiring prenups!!!
um um um…well it is now ON..hopefully they will divorce with dignity, but if Morgan starts tryna be CHEAP, I bet ol Myrna will have some dirty linen to air…developing, SMH

Well, it’s true…..okay okay, I’m going to the corner….
Don’t pre -nups expire? LOL I thought they expire after a certain number of years or something…..LOL
Well damn if my man was an Oscar winner I wouldn’t be driving a 97 maxima especially if I’m giving up the goods to a 71 year old.
Prenups…..expire?
Okay I looked it up…..people can set expiration dates in their agreements….it’s called a Sunset Clause. In Maine though, a pre nup is automatically expired after the birth of the couple’s first child.
I know Morgan Freeman gets paid great money but I don’t think he is on like Will Smith status and he’s old as dirt. I’m not for being held hostage in any relationship but damn….vows and til death do us part or forgiveness no longer seems to be an option. This old guy cheated and now his wife wants a divorce. THEY put in so much time and life into the marriage. You’ve got to be kidding me. Only people who don’t have a strong foundation or God in their life do retarded things like that. They ain’t ride or die in Hollyweird.
viagara is a m’****er…i’m trying not to think about his old behind (or anyone for that matter) knocking boots…i know “older” people like to get it on, but damn…when i first heard about the accident, i kept thinking he was getting head while driving…
on the flipside, if i ever get married and have a child i’m heading to maine LOL…
Welcome to the Sanra Rose I hate ALL men and will stop at Nothing to Prove there isn’t ONE good Man in the World site …
So Papa Morgan is a hoe? and with a pick toe at that!!! Didn’t he watch GLORY?!! SMH…I am trembling with disappointment!
I wonder if she would have perferred being a widow…
I would f–k the “friend” up…but ain’t no way old man river would get away so he can go and lay up under some new cooch…
Sorry…it would be “til death do us part”…and he would be hoping that was soon…

You (she) find a hot chocolate piece of candy under the age of 30, give him some pocket chance (courtesy of Mr. Freeman’s account), get your picture on TMZ, and break the headboard.

LMAO….y’all are tripping today!
I’m not gon sit here and say that there are no Good Men left…..I know it’s some out here.
I can’t defend Morgan on this one either, even thought they been separated for 9 months, something led to them breaking up…..Maybe she got tired of all his creepin, and decided she finally wanted out…..
Sorry for the typo, “even though”
i kept thinking he was getting head while driving
