Morgan Freeman Splits From Wife After 24 Years

Dark Knight star and recent car accident survivor Morgan Freeman is currently divorcing his wife of 24 years, Myrna Colley-Lee. The pair actually separated in December 2007, but had not gone public with the break-up until now. Freeman is currently hospitalized for the broken arm and elbow he sustained in his crash. This is just the most recent addition to a growing list of unfortunate events (like, uh, Heath Ledger’s death and Christian Bale’s verbal smackdown) that’s currently trailing the Batman flick. While some may chalk it up to a “curse,” we’d beg to differ, and not just because we’re from Boston where “curse” is the second word babies learn after Bambino. The simple truth: bad sh*t happens to everyone, even people with lots of money. In fact, it happens all the time. (See: Britney Spears. Also: all of Hollywood.)

Our theory - Freeman’s wife got sick of watching her hubby waste his talent on cop movies with Ashley Judd. That’d drive any reasonable human to divorce. [Us. Image: Getty]
