Thanks to QueerDay, I was alerted to this story about the divorce proceedings of Terry McMillan, the author of "How Stella Got Her Groove Back," a barely fictionalized account of her romance with a phyne Jamaican bwoy (played by Taye Diggs in the movie!) named Jonathan Plummer who is 23 years her junior. Now Terry McMillan is filing for divorce and claiming that Plummer is gay and only married her to get U.S. citizenship, which is marriage fraud. Some choice quotes:
In a Jan. 14 letter written by McMillan and filed with the court, the author told Plummer, "The reason you're going to make a great fag is that most of you guys are just like dogs anyway. ... You do whatever with whomever pleases you and don't seem to care about the consequences."
Plummer also says McMillan came into the dog-grooming shop and left him a bottle of Jamaican hot pepper sauce on which she wrote, "Fag Juice Burn Baby Burn,'' and that she also scrawled "Jonathan's Fag boyfriend Fag'' on a photo of a friend.
"She is an extremely angry woman who is homophobic and is lashing out at me because I have learned I am gay,'' Plummer declared in a court filing last month.
However, on June 17th a judge ruled that McMillan must pay Plummer $2000 a month in spousal support and $25 000 in attorney's fees until a full trial is held on the validity of their pre-nuptial agreement and the annulment request.
Things that make you go hmmmmmmm!
