Political comic Bill Maher is being sued by a woman who claims he shook her at a party and welched on promises to marry her and buy her a home in Beverly Hills.
Nancy "Coco" Johnsen, a former model and flight attendant, is seeking $9 million and other unspecified damages, according to the action filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court. It accuses Maher of fraud, battery and assault
An e-mail seeking comment from Maher was not immediately returned Thursday. He could not be located by telephone for comment.
Johnsen claims she fell in love with the HBO "Real Time" host during a 17-month relationship that began in January 2003.
According to the suit, Maher convinced Johnsen to quit her career and in return promised the two would marry and have children, that he would reimburse her for clothing and other expenses necessary for her to accompany him as a "power couple" and that he would support her for the rest of her life. He also promised to buy her the house in Beverly Hills where Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez once lived or give her money to buy a similar house, the suit contends.
But after she quit her job as Delta Airlines, Johnsen said, Maher "verbally abused" her and at a party last May he became angry and shook her, causing back and neck injuries.
She left his home and ended the relationship in May, Johnsen said.

I actually believe this young lady. Maher is a vile sociopath.
Maybe he did her a favor by reneging.
She should thank GOD the scumbag reneged.
She should have sued him when he threatened to marry her, not when he showed mercy and reneged.

Gee, do you mean that I could have sued the guy who proposed to me in 1972, made promises, and then turned out to be a homosexual? I might have been rich!
Bill Maher is so ugly it's amazing that his mother didn't smother him when he was born. Why on earth would anyone want to marry him?
Is she bringing a breach of promise action? Can people still do that? I thought that verbal agreements regarding marriage were widely regarded as merely amusing, not binding anymore.
How bizarre.
Who'd want to marry that jerk?
What's pathetic is that this loser is even worth 9 mil.
So much for actually having a TALENT.
Sounds like Billy has a temper
What a shocker .. Not!
I hope this ends Maher's career.
As much as I dislike Mr. Maher's humor and political leanings, this story says "golddigger" all over it.
But after she quit her job as Delta Airlines, Johnsen said, Maher "verbally abused" her and at a party last May he became angry and shook her, causing back and neck injuries.
Since she couldn't take him to the cleaners in divorce court, she's working the whiplash, 'oh, my aching neck' angle.
"...this story says "golddigger" all over it."
I agree, maybe her name is really Cukoo Johnsen.
Will never understand why Ann Coulter hangs around this clown. I'm convinced that he doesn't even really believe half of the stuff that comes out of his mouth. He knows darn well by pressing buttons on hot-topic issues he can always generate publicity for himself and I think thats where he is always coming from.
"I hope this ends Maher's career"
While I agree Maher is vile, I really think He shows the left for what they really are.
I think He helps us, just like Micheal Moore did, and still does.
The people in this country that go to work/vote see these people for what they are.

I TRUST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION,..so should you.
The degenerate deserves this insanity
That is a porn star. Are you sure it is the same one?
