Jonathan Plummer is on "The Wendy Williams Show" right now. I started posting notes from the interview on the Wendy Williams thread.

Maybe I should ask Moldy if I should post in this thread. Or maybe some way put the same posts here.

Terry and Jonathan will be on the Oprah show together on Wednesday, November 9th.

I can't wait to watch.

I need a detailed summary of the show, since I'll be at work. This is going to be some interesting shit!

I truly believe Terry had an inkling he was gay, but chose not to believe it.

Back in 1995 when she was on ET parading her man around, I remember snickering and commenting on how gay he was, before promptly chocking on an onion ring (God does not like ugly) My uncle was delighted to learn that the "heifer who made my life hell with her shitty, man-bashing movie" had a nice surprise coming her way, in the form of a "gay gold digger."

My god, how could she not know-just LISTEN to him. He's so flaming!

I can imagine being really, super hurt if that happened to me. I would probably cry and feel awful and broken-hearted and all of that.

But calling him up and screaming and swearing at him, and saying, "I could have AIDS! He had sex with MEN!"

And in the Smoking Gun, he first told her he might be BISEXUAL, and she flipped out. That threw me-what would be the problem with being bi? And he was twenty, he came from a VERY conservative, homophobic culture, what the hell?

She comes off as VERY domineering, and VERY controlling, violent (throwing lamps?) and how is he a sociopath?

He doesn't seem like a sociopath, but he does come off as a big flake. First he wasn't cheating, then he says he was, but "not really", and then he said he always suspected and then it was he didn't have any clue. Then he said he didn't lie, he didn't know, he did know...god.

They deserve each other.

I don't know how much money O-phra offered them to come on the show, but this interview made them both look like asses. She is crazy; rolling her eyes at everything he says, mugging, being ghetto, and he came off as a confused person, who is not very successful at anything, including being deceitful.

They do deserve each other. Both liars and craving attention.

I really don't feel too sorry for Terry. For one thing, it really pissed me off when she said that calling yourself gay without having had gay sex is like calling yourself an alcoholic without having had a drink. Ummmmm, NO. And she said that twice. Sexual orientation cannot be seriously compared to a chemical dependency disease.

She tried to say that he used her for a Green Card, but she herself said that forming a relationship with him was like getting a new puppy. She married this man for God's sake, and she compared him to a puppy? She may have not used him for something tangible like a Green Card, but she was using him--for her ego, for inspiration to have something to write about, etc.

I thought that what Jonathan was saying sounded really stupid. And if he's that dumb now, how dumb must he have been seven years ago? If Terry was as smart as she wants us to think she is, she would've never married a guy this dumb. And it pissed me off that she kept screaming about HIV even though she admitted that she had sex with him they day she met him in Jamaica. I'm sure she used a condom, but still, she fucked a stranger on an island! It just seems homophobic to me that she would freak out about HIV because he's gay when she certainly put herself at risk the first time she was with him.

OKay, I didn't see the interview but -- she said that? Whatwhatwhat??? But that's just...that's just...I'm speechless. Gah.



And you know, reading back over it, that's wrong on a couple of different levels.
