Morgan Freeman Slept With His Step-Granddaughter Before She Died, Her Alleged Killer Says
Morgan Freeman had a sexual relationship with her step-granddaughter, the boyfriend, who is also the killer of the woman, reveals, saying the victim divulged it to him.
This just gives light again on the lingering, but did not die down, rumors that the 80-year-old actor had a relationship with his step-granddaughter, E'Dena Hines. The news surfaced as suspect Lamar Davenport's lawyer in the case revealed on Friday that his then girlfriend told him that she was indeed sleeping with his grandfather.
"E'Dena Hines disclosed to Lamar Davenport and others that her grandfather engaged in a sexually inappropriate relationship with her," the lawyer brought up during the trial of her client, who was accused of murder.
There's no clear connection why the matter was brought up or if it had any relevance on the case. However, Davenport's team tried to substantiate the claim by having a therapist testify that his client and Hines had a not-so-healthy relationship because of infidelity.
'Relationship'
News about Freeman and Hines' illicit relationship started to spread in 2009 by the National Enquirer. Soon, gossip websites started picking this story up and even dug deeper, with some saying what they had was serious, so much so that they were thinking of getting married.
Denial
After marriage rumors swirled, Hines then denied the allegations, saying these were lies and had become "hurtful to me and my family." Freeman also echoed his step-granddaughter's statement, referring to the rumor as "defamatory fabrication" which he said was only used to "sell papers."
Freeman and Hines aren't blood related, though he witnessed her grew up. The actor's first wife, Jeanette Adair-Bradshaw, had a daughter, Deena Adair, whom the Academy Award-winning thespian adopted and is the mother of Hines.
E'Dena Hines's Death
Meanwhile, Hines was killed in a gruesome stabbing incident in 2015. Then 33, she was allegedly stabbed by Davenport 25 times outside a Manhattan building. Prosecutors said that the accused and the victim were both under the influence of drugs at the time.
Davenport's team was pushing for an insanity defense, citing he was under psychosis at the time and had no idea of what he was doing.
Many residents of the building had seen what happened during the night, with one, George Hudacko, saying people were awaken by the loud screams of Hines. Upon looking outside the window, he witnessed a horrifying scene, the victim lying down and Davenport stabbing her as he looked like he was exorcising her.
