Stella's Lost Her Groove

Books Forum

Terry McMillan, author of 'Waiting to Exhale' and 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back', is divorcing her husband, 21 years her junior, after the revelation that he is, in fact, gay. Their story was retold in "stella", so if you want to see how they "fell in love" you can read the book or see the movie Then you can see the end result here. The moral: don't write books based on personal experience unless all the people involved are dead already.

Yikes.

Well, I've seen Terry McMillan. She certainly isn't my cup of tea, but to marry a homosexual just to get a book premise seems pretty out of the ordinary to me...

well, she just discovered he was homosexual after he got his US citizenship. Read the court documents, its all pretty messy. He's claiming she was a controlling manipulative *****, she's claiming he's full of it, and was trying to trick her from the very beginning. Then he goes on about her leaving her abusive messages and stuff, and writing "*** juice" on a bottle of jamaican hot sauce and stuff like that... she's quite creative with her abuse, to be honest
