Executive summary: Waiting to Exhale Known for her bestselling roman à clefs, Terry McMillan was apparently duped into marrying a young Jamaican on the down low. Jonathan Plummer was, according to McMillan's divorce filings, just a closeted gay man working a green card scheme when they married in 1998. Plummer appears as the character Winston Shakespeare in How Stella Got Her Groove Back.
[S]hortly after he moved to California in 1995, I went out to the garage and opened the trunk of the car that Jonathan and I shared. I was shocked to find about ten or fifteen pornographic videos in it. Upon closer examination, I realized that just about every video was of gay men in black leather performing sexual acts on each other. I grabbed a handful of them and went upstairs where Jonathan was still sleeping. I woke him and asked why he had these videos. Jonathan calmly replied that he had picked them up for a friend in Jamaica because they could not get those kinds of videos there. He appeared to be telling the truth, so I believed him.
