Morgan Freeman to marry his step-granddaughter?

I actually don’t get icked out by biological relation, in itself. But the article states “She is the granddaughter of Morgan’s first wife - whom he and his estranged second wife Myrna raised since she was a young child.”; if it really is true that he raised her, then I would find this seriously icky. I’m not sure why, but that squicks me out, the way I’d be squicked out by a father hitting on his grown daughter, even if she was adopted.

They can do whatever they want; I’m not the boss of them. But it’ll strike me as icky, is all.

Ah, I skimmed and missed the part stating he’d raised her.

Yes. That is icky.

Oog. If true, I think this might actually top Woody Allen’s ickiness.

Yeah. But, just to re-emphasize what we’ve all, I think, been careful to acknowledge so far, this is all just rumor-mongering right now. It might be entirely without basis.

Here’s the denial.

Morgan Freeman’s publicist has dismissed new reports the movie star is to wed his step-granddaughter.

U.S. tabloid the National Enquirer claims the Shawshank Redemption star, 72, is romancing 27-year-old E’Dena Hines, and the couple is planning to wed once the actor’s divorce from his second wife Myrna Colley-Lee is final.

But Freeman’s spokesman, Dave Falkenstein, insists the story is, “complete garbage.”

I read something about this the other day. The article I read definitely made it seem like he was a predator from early,* early *on in their relationship- like young teens and that his wife had to reign him in, knowing of his attraction to the young girl. If true, that’s disgusting.

Well,

If he gets into legal trouble…he has an out.

Judge - How do you plead ?

Morgan - Insanity

Judge - What?! Hows that?

Morgan - I am just crazy for that young stuff

I’m with you on that. But then again, if they’re TRULY in love, who is to stop them? I watched a 20/20 about cousin marriage, and honestly now I don’t think it’s as creepy as I used to.

I thought the National Enquirer, despite its reputation, was fairly credible and went through all the normal fact checking procedures.

As an aside, it must be kind of strange making love to Morgan Freeman, call out “Oh god!” and then have him answer.

I don’t think cousin marriage is terribly creepy, it’s just not what we’re used to. But, hypothetically speaking since we don’t actually know any facts, if a man has raised a girl in his home as his grandchild, and started a relationship with her while she was still in her teens, and while he was married, that’s incredibly skeevy. Particularly the bit where she’s a young girl and he’s 60+ and in a power position over her, and also just happens to be a big shot in the outside world as well. I don’t suppose anyone will stop them, but no one has to approve either.

I hope it’s not true, but if it is, it’s bad.
