LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An ex-girlfriend of comedian Bill Maher sued him for $9 million on Thursday, saying he enticed her to give up a successful career as a flight attendant with false promises to marry her and buy her a home in Beverly Hills.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An ex-girlfriend of comedian Bill Maher sued him for $9 million on Thursday, saying he enticed her to give up a successful career as a flight attendant with false promises to marry her and buy her a home in Beverly Hills.

A spokesman for Maher, host of HBO's "Real Time" political satire show, had no immediate comment on the breach of contract suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by ex-model and airline stewardess Coco Johnsen, whose real name is Nancy Johnson.

In the suit, Johnsen said she and Maher met in 2003 and that their relationship lasted about 17 months, during which time she moved in with him and he promised to marry her and buy her a Beverly Hills house that was formerly lived in by Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.

The suit said that Maher convinced her to give up her 12-year job with Delta airlines so that she could devote herself full-time to him and his career. But the suit added that after Johnsen quit working, Maher became abusive and made "insulting, humiliating and degrading racial comments" about her, as a black woman, and physically threatened and abused her.

You know, Delta has been slowly going broke...think Maher has been working his way through the ranks of it's best flight attendants, tricking them into leaving their jobs?

Coco. Anyone who calls herself that on purpose needs help to begin with.

This is probably one of the most frivolous suits that I have ever heard of. She was a Playboy bunny and is a nude model. In the land of fruits and nuts (porno film makers too), I'm sure the tramp could get a job.

Now, I personally think Bill Maher is a total shmuck who deserves nothing less than to have his nuts put in vise, but we are a country of laws, not men and this suit sounds like BS.

And, should the schmuck Maher happen to get a jury that is unsympathetic and stupid and they decide to grant the $9 million, then so be it. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Dear Coco,

Moving in is not a contract. Daily sex is not a contract. Promises are not a contract, that is why marriages are in writing. You are a stupid b!tch, and deserve nothing but your butt on the curb and your panties thrown out the window in a driving, cold rain. Bye!

"as a black woman, and physically threatened and abused her"

Not very politically correct, is it?

Hey Bill, do you apples? How about these apples?

Why does "Bill Maher" and "comedian" appear in the same sentence?
