Days after he was involved in a serious car accident with “family friend” Demaris Meyer, Morgan Freeman announced he and his wife of 24 years were divorcing. Us Weekly says

Mississippi-based attorney Bill Luckett tells Access Hollywood the couple “are involved in a divorce action. For legal and practical purposes, [Freeman and Colley-Lee] have been separated since December of 2007.”

Ah, the “family friend!” The genteel way of saying “homewrecking mistress.” Kinda like “little miracle” instead of “abortion that didn’t take” and “sparkling personality” instead of “two pound neck goiter and chronic halitosis.”
