The
revelation led her to conclude Plummer married only
to get his U.S. citizenship, she said. McMillan met
Plummer at a Jamaican resort a decade ago.
"It
was devastating to discover that a relationship I had
publicized to the world as life-affirming and built
on mutual love was actually based on deceit," she
said in court papers. "I was humiliated."
In
response, Plummer maintained McMillan treated him with
"homophobic" scorn bordering on harassment
since he came out to her as gay just before Christmas.
McMillan
is seeking to have the marriage annulled; Plummer has
asked the court to set aside a prenuptial agreement
that would prevent him from getting spousal support.
McMillan
filed for divorce in January, but news of the split
didn't surface until this week, when it was first reported
in a San Francisco Chronicle gossip column. Earlier
this month, a judge ordered McMillan to pay Plummer
$2,000 a month in spousal support and $25,000 in attorney's
fees until the case comes back to court in October.
McMillan's
latest novel, "The Interruption of Everything,"
is scheduled to hit store shelves next month. It plots
the mid-life adventures of a married mother of three
who is questioning her comfortable suburban life.
McMillan
said she did not plan to let a divorce "detract
from the many blessings in her life," according
to a statement released through her publicist.
Plummer's
attorney could not immediately be reached for comment.
