      *Author Terry McMillan, the woman who famously went on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” with her ex-husband to discuss their divorce in the wake of his revealed homosexuality, has just sued him for $40 million claiming he tried to ruin her reputation.

       McMillan, 55, filed the papers Wednesday in Contra Costa County Superior Court against Jonathan Plummer, the 32-year-old whom she met while vacationing in Jamaica. He inspired her best-selling 1996 novel, "How Stella Got Her Groove Back."

      The lawsuit claims Plummer, a Jamaica native, married McMillan in 1998 only to get U.S. citizenship. After admitting to McMillan that he is gay, the couple went through a nasty divorce and settled for an undisclosed amount. Plummer's lawyer, Dolores Sargent, is also named in the lawsuit.

      "The defendants conspired and formed a plan to threaten to humiliate and embarrass Terry McMillan," the lawsuit said, "and violate her privacy and place her in harm's way, and threatened to damage her professional and personal standing in an attempt to extort monies from her."

      McMillan, author of “Waiting to Exhale,” is also suing for emotional distress, invasion of privacy and placing her in a "false light" to harm her professionally and personally. She also claimed that Plummer violated a restraining order by calling her to speak with her son.
