What's the point of suing a broke mf???
Author Terry McMillan Sues Ex-Husband In Danville
Associated Press
Mar 21, 2007
DANVILLE, Calif. Author Terry McMillan is suing her former husband for 40-million dollars.
McMillan alleges that Jonathan Plummer tried to smear her reputation during their highly publicized 2005 divorce.
McMillan's relationship with Plummer inspired her best-selling 1996 novel, "How Stella Got Her Groove Back." The book was adapted into a movie starring Angela Bassett and Taye Diggs.
The lawsuit -- filed today in Contra Costa County court -- claims Plummer, a Jamaica native, married McMillan only to become a U-S citizen. He later announced that he's gay.
She says Plummer and his lawyer, Dolores Sargent, conspired to threaten and humiliate and embarrass her in an attempt to extort money from her.
Plummer -- now a Danville hair stylist -- declined to discuss the suit. Sargent could not be reached for comment.

Enchanted,
It was difficult for me to follow your point about Norbit, Janet Jackson, Nutty Professor, etc. But, again, Terri used her experience with Jonathan to enrich her bank account. Jonathan should be afforded the same courtesy.
If it can be proven he's presenting lies about her, I suppose she'll be to receive some recompense via lawsuit. Though I suspect a LOT of what he presents about her she will NOT be able to disprove, especially if it's presented as fiction.
I said years ago it would have been smart of Terri to break-off dude a couple of million buck so that she could buy his silence. But she ELECTED to make a public spectacle of herself via attempting to embellish her image and humiliate him (which, btw, almost worked in REVERSE), even to the extent of dragging him unto Oprah. So Terri deserves whatever fictionalized tell-all book/movie Jon-Jon can concoct. |

Yup. At some point it seems better to just cut your losses and walk away. |
