The 44-year-old claims the two met in 2006 while Idris was on ‘The Wire.’

Months later the two allegedly wed.

“People were telling him he was going to ruin his career,” she explained. “He was being told it was an important part of his image to be a single sex symbol in Hollywood and being married would damage that.

His reported “ex” says that everyone felt the marriage was not a good look for his image as a “sex symbol,” so the marriage ended soon after.

Not sure if this is true or not, but this is some hot tea.
