  • Morgan was cheating on his wife (the same woman in the car with him doing god-knows-what to him at the time of the crash) with his STEP-GRANDDAUGHTER!!! The National Enquirer (say what you want to say about that RagMag but they are typically right in what they report) is reporting that that affair begain when she was 17 and he was 62!!

    I love him as an Actor and respect his craft, but this is downright disgusting and insestious. He's a dirty old man and I hope his wife takes him for everything he's got.

  • It don't matter your condition, cheating is cheating and it takes a strong women to say she's not going to put up with it.

  • Margan Freeman is one of the greatest actors ever. I've learn to listen and learn from the struggles overcome, by people like him, Harry, Sidney, Maya...."Progressive" elders who have endured much in their generation. He to will meet personal challenges and though it is unfortunate that he is getting a divorce, fans need to understand that his is still just a man who will make mistakes and ask for forgiveness, in the same manner that he will forgive someone....Life is full of joys, pain, and lessons to learn from. I reaspect his privacy - He and his family are in my prayers. If I could I would like to correspond with Mr. Freeman on a business level. I would like to know if he or other celebs have private foundation for helping to educate our youth and college kids. I would like to know how to identify them and appeal to these organizations. I will not cast a stone- as I'm sure Mr. Freeman and his wife are going through their own personal hell. 20 years is half of my life time and most of my adult life. It is sad that the marriage didn't. People come and go in your life for a reason or a season. God is forgiving and life is moving on. People need to continue to think progressively, advance themselves, and help others. In the times of adversity in any situation ...simply pray. Pray for all the things that make life better for you, others, and this world as a whole. Morgan, It's gonna be alright! Sherron

  • This from Patty Jackson's 4-1-1 (celebrity news reporter):

    "Morgan Freeman is getting ready to get married again. But wait! He’s still married to his wife of 24 years. Freeman, 71, is planning to marry the jumpoff, the woman who caused the rift in his two decade plus marriage. Once his divorce is final, the Oscar winner is going to marry 60-year old Mary Joyce. She’s a southern woman who abandoned her family once she hooked up with Morgan. A few weeks ago, Freeman was involved in a car accident that almost killed him. At the time of the accident, he was in the car with yet another woman. Once he got to the hospital, there was the new woman, the jumpoff and the wife. Talk about too close for comfort! Freeman’s wife realized she couldn’t put up with the nonsense anymore and agreed to a divorce. She stands to get half his fortune. Friends say Freeman is still in a lot of pain after the accident and is healing, but he can’t wait to get married again."
    This man was whoring around all over the place!! Mrs. Freeman should get on with her life and TAKE HALF!!

  • Well, I really like him as an actor, but am disappointed that men can't keep from straying. And at 71 he still had to stray from his marriage. On the other hand, what do you do if the attraction is so strong? Maybe the answer is go away for a weekend with your own wife. Just don't know or understand about these things. Ouch!
