1. Its funny because when it was 1st mentioned that he was in the car with a friend of his wife... I was like hmmmmmm
where was his wife?
Then I thought, well maybe she had been over the house and he offered her a ride home.
Looks like she may have been getting a littttttle bit more than a ride in the car,,,,,

2. this is truely a travesty. another black man who had the support of a black woman, only hit the trail when he hits the pinnacle of his career. but it's not about black and white, or black and asian (chris rock) or black and anything. it's about men who leave the women who stood beside them when they were on the 'down-n-outs', struggling to make it in the industry, only to 'upgrade' when they become successful. it sucks!

3. Am I the only one who sees a problem with the top story in the country being about a celebrities private life when we are facing the worst economic crisis in decades?

7. I was sad to hear about Mr. Freeman’s car accident because he has been a part of my media landscape for as far back as I can remember. However, I was even more disappointed to hear about his 48 year old companion/former friend of Mr. Freeman’s soon-to-be ex-wife. I’m not a religious person but I do believe that Mr. Freeman got a little something something for not living right. Mr. Freeman... Check out Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth" and get your ego in check.

8. Yes it is TMZ, yes the economy sucks unless you have saved and prepared and yes rich hollywood men cheat like dogs. No news there, get some get stuff! The economy is important but you can only take so much crap news. Some times you need a beer and some stupid gossip. Lucky for all most of Hollywood are messed up the all of us put together!

9. Morgan Freeman alone with a white woman in rual Mississippi, late at night, riding in a car, apparently the brother has forgotten they still hang Black folks for far less than that in MS. MF is either very brave or very stupid. His Hollywood star status would not have saved his black butt, if one of the "good ole boys" from the KKK had happen along after his accident. What his wife is going to do to him is nothing compared to what they would have done....

10. The best part of this "Driving Miss Tressy" debacle is not [yet] being reported by TMZ: that police found a couple of shovels thrown from the trunk of the car. So now the media say the female friend (Demaris Meyer, 48, of Memphis, TN) is "an avid gardner." Don't know what they were going to plant that night, but the soon-to-be ex-Mrs. Freeman is probably feeling mighty lucky right now. Apparently, there will be no Shaw-shag Redemption for this Dark Knight.

11. Old rich black man caught with younger white woman. At least he wasn't drugging her like Bill Cosby, Whatever happened to hitting it and forgetting it? Pay the 23 year old hooker well (in cash) and don't shoot your mouth off: "Everyone says I look like Morgan Freeman!" as opposed to "How does it feel to be doing the Governor of New York?" Jerks.

12. I knew there was something fishy about that story. Morgan should know by know, "What comes around goes around" It's karma baby! The Dark Knight is a good movie, but maybe it was kinda of jinx. With Heath overdosing and know Freeman almost being killed. I think Morgan might want to visit the little white house in West Memphis (Arkansas house that was known for getting rid of hexes) or the church house, before he visits the court house!

13. After all the praise and well wishes you got on here from people,the truth comes out. You messin with your wife's best friend. On top of that she is white. The boogie man works in mysterious ways morgan.

14. Mr. Freeman's marriage may have been over "for some time" but apparently Mrs. Freeman and the, er, companion were close friends and the companion had been a frequent guest in the Freeman home as a friend of Mrs. Freeman. Tacky to take up with a friend of your wife, whether before or after the marriage is over. It shows little regard for your wife's feelings. If the marriage was effectively over 7 months ago, perhaps the, er, companion is the reason.

It would still be tacky if the companion were black and 70, by the way. Her being younger and white has nothing to do with it.

Why can't people get it through their heads that Freeman's accident was in the avid gardener's/companion's car, thus the gardening equipment i.e. shovels being in the trunk. Good grief. They found a bunch of recipes in her wrecked car, too. What will the next allegation be? That they were going to cook Mrs. Freeman?

15. PoRo...I have known and have seen many mixed couples/friends here in the Delta, but I have never seen or heard of any being hanged. I am 55 and a life-long resident of east Arkansas (about 25 minutes from Clarksdale, MS and about 75 miles from Memphis).
