$25M SUIT: HO-LOVIN' HUBBY GAVE ME STDS

A Manhattan woman has filed a $25 million lawsuit against her allegedly hooker-loving husband, charging he gave her sexually transmitted diseases that ruined her life.

In papers filed in state Supreme Court, Stephanie Lerner said she was infected with "several severe incurable strains of the human papilloma virus" as a result of the affairs conducted by her husband, Mark, a venture capitalist.

Stephanie, an author and former television producer, said her condition got so bad, she had to undergo several operations.

The suit accuses Lerner of failing to warn his wife of 16 years that he'd had "numerous encounters of unprotected sexual relations with commercial sex workers in China and Japan, as well as an ongoing affair with Jane Doe in New York."

Mark Lerner's lawyer, Allan Morofsky, said, "I know nothing of this lawsuit," adding his client is in the midst of a divorce.

The Lerners were married in 1991, and she first learned her husband was unfaithful in 1996, when she contracted a sexually transmitted disease, trichomoniasis, the suit says.

That's when Mark admitted that he'd had "unprotected sexual relations in China and Japan" while on business trips, the suit says. He then promised "he would resume being faithful."

But a 2005 visit to the gynecologist revealed Stephanie had since contracted HPV. She claims that as she got sicker, he coldly told her, "I wish you would just die already."

He later admitted to her and their marriage counselor that he'd continued having unprotected sex with hookers in Asia, as well as with a mistress in New York, the suit says.

She says she's in constant pain and no longer able to work.

    Men can't be tested for HPV. Science really needs to get the ball rollin on that.



  2. 2

    Isn't that old whatshername? "Don't Be Afraid"…well, I sure as shit am. Yikes.



  3. 3

    Good for her! She had no way of knowing her husband was two timing her, and it isn't her fault she is stuck with a horrible disease for life!



  4. 4

    Gettin' his balls rollin' is what got him in this fix. He fell for the old line, " Me so ronery, me so horny, love you long time! What a sailor.



  5. 5

    is that Heather Mills?

    Good for her…sue him until he's homeless. Ladies who are getting married…please get a pre-nup and put a cheating clause in it to protect yourself.



  7. 7

    Looks alot like Heather Mills



  8. 8

    Good, I hope that she wins this. You cannot put a price on life.

    She must know he's worth 25 Million, and uf he is then she deserves that money and he should pay for being such an indecent excuse for a human being



  10. 10

    no longer able to work??

    that IS some serious HPV. I've never even heard of HPV being that bad before…

    is she sure she doesnst have the herp?



  11. 11

    That looks like Heather Mills. But anyway she should have got out in 1996. "Once a cheater, always a cheater" is the norm rather than the exception. If he was to go back overseas again he obviously is going to fool around with the hookers again, should have been kicked to the curb the first time.



  12. 12

    As bad as it is, it could have been the H.I.V. A powerful reminder of why you should use condoms, especially with professionals.



  13. 13

    THAT'S HOT !!!



  14. 14

    By professionals I of course mean Venture Capitalists!



  15. 15

    Fucking guys I hate the fact that when they do shit like this society dosen't seem to get on the attact on the guy. When its a girl oh oh oh she's a hoe,slut,tramp or whatever. Guys are dogs and shit likes this makes women play on guys and treat them like the dogs they are!!



  16. 16

    That is awful. So gross. STDS scare the shit out of me. As much as I'd like to have awesome sex with some sexy guys, I won't. Can't have them stds…



  17. 17

    One STD would have been enough for me to leave.
    ~ Doesn't her husband believe in safe sex. If you want to screw around that is your choice. But don't bring anything home with you. PIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  18. 18

    these things make me so angry, knowing people do them so selfishly. I hope she gets all 25 mil and then some



  19. 19

    poor woman! she should've left him. bet she wishes she had now!

    some men are SUCH bastards.



  20. 20

    I hope she wins. That man deserves to lose everything for what he did to her.



  21. 21

    if you cant keep ur d*ck in ur pants at least stick it in a rubber.
    bastard



  22. 22

    Perez- you've got to get rid of those stupid True dating service ads. I'm tired of seeing older girls posing as 21 year olds and showing their boobies. Clearly, the ads don't portray the girls as one you could have a real relationship with, but someone you know you could eventually get in bed.

    I can't get over the irony of this ad on the same page with this story. True says "Whether you're looking for your soul mate – or just a great date – TRUE will help you find exactly what, and who, you're looking for." Clearly with their advertisement a great date would include getting a girl into bed. I mean, she's IMing on her bed and wearing a revealing shirt. Let's add even more to the irony with the fact that this girl is asian. I really don't think she's looking to settle down but have a good time.

    If fidelity is so important to you, and I believe it would be since you are posting a story like this one- not to mention that you often speak of homosexuals in a loving, committed relationship, then you should have your advertising reflect your values. Especially since you are getting paid for them!!!

    Besides, your demographics are 18-35 year old women and this ad doesn't fit the demographics.



  23. 23

    of course they can get tested…are you retarded….ever heard of a urethral swab?



  24. 24

    she is such a gold-digger

    1. she probably had hpv BEFORE she was married.
    2. she knew he was a cheater but still had sex with him.
    3. men can't be tested for hpv, so she can't say he infected her on purpose
    4. she is seriously exaggerating the extent of her hpv problems.
    5. like 70% of women have it. deal with it, hunny.



  25. 25

    Good for her… that asshole should be milked for all he's worth.



  26. 26

    Gals, I'm male. Gay male. I will not lie to you, Graces and Karens. Men are pigs. And dogs. And cockroaches. Whenever they claim that they are for monogamous, they are lying to you. Whenever they claim to be faithful to you under the disguse that he is Christian, he is lying.

    Priests, ministers, rabbis, imams, muslims, buddhists, dogs, pigs … they are all same.

    What is your favorite food? Mine is pepperoni pizza. But do I eat it everyday? No. Because it'd tire me out fast. The same concept applies to sex partners. There are always 'favorite' ones but let's face the reality: Men likes to fuck anything that moves.

    Rest assured, women, your husbands, boyfriends, partners, bosses, brothers or fathers who might read what I said shall dispute what I wrote but when nobody is looking at 'em, they're at parks, adult bookstores, porn websites, downtown's main streets hailing down prostitutes, strip joints, sex clubs, bars, dance clubs … with their pants down.

    Trust me. I know. I'm man. I try to be upfront and straight with the guys I like/love … I can't expect 'em to be faithful 100% but I expect him to be upfront and truthful in my face that two hours ago, he was giving someone a blowjob, you know?

    So far, I'm still single and would love to have a guy who is capable of being upfront with no secrets. Ahh, c'est la vie! is it?

    R-

    I think that she should do it, but wouldnt you have left your husband the first time he confessed to having unprotected sex in several encounters, disgusting



  28. 28

    She shouldah left his ass after the first STD transmission. I guess she waited until her husband built up more equity in their home and bank accounts. Now both attorneys and she will make a fortune. It'll be a while before his pecker gets hard again!



  29. 29

    Re: Ridor9th

    Men don't have to be pigs. You can choose to have self control. It's a matter of being selfish or selfless. If you choose to be selfless, you have greater love for your companion because you sacrificed for them. And that increased love makes the intimacy that more wonderful.

    It all comes down to a matter of choice. Do you satisfy your selfish lusts? Or do you sacrifice it for something that is more worthwhile. That most worthwhile things in life come with time, patience and effort.

    Re: superBitch
    Men CAN be tested for HPV.

  31. MissJ says – reply to this


    31

    Ok I'm confused, isn't that Heather Mills?????



  32. 32

    Some of these women haven't any sense. She should have left his sorry ass in 1996, when she first contracted an STD and found out he was unfaithful.
    Finding out that her husband has given her trichomoniasis, by way of 'slumming it' with vinyl-attired whores, is bad enough. But, staying with his cheating ass, after the fact….is her fault and 'cross to bear'.
    I am so damn tired of some women staying with their cheating hubby's simply because of the money and 'social ladder'.



  33. 33

    He so deserves it. He slept with prostitutes in foreign countries without protection. Then he claims he didn't know he had genital warts…..come on. How could he not know that……he's a whore and I hope she's nails his cheating ass to the wall!



  34. 34

    Re: karencarpenter – I bet that you wish Karen was still alive….you could have had SO MANY MORE of her, and Richards', songs to 'embed' into your comments.



  35. 35

    Re: kerkieberkie – sounds like you've read norman vincent peale's book, sin, sex and self-control. read it myself and it's pretty amazing



  36. 36

    Hmm, this sounds familiar. I am in the same 'boat' so to soeak but I don't think I'm quite that sick and hopefuklly I won't become so, the poor thing. But I DID however contract HPV from my husband who had an affair; well at least ONE that I know of. And even though we have this 100% absolute PROOF of his fucking around on me he STILL denies he slept with the bitch to this day. But the jokes on me because I'm the stupid one who still stays with him. We have 4 kids together, he did the cheating while I was pregnant with one of them. men are PIECES of SHIT. End of story.



  37. 37

    What a total b**tard he is,she should have chopped his todger off,and fried it with his bacon and eggs.Ihope she gets all the money she deserves it..



  38. 38

    ~She deserves some compensation. If nothing else, it'll teach him to keep his pants zipped up.

    ~Now Perez, it's time to stop posting pictures that have nothing to do with the stories. Nobody likes Paul's ex - but posting this with the story isn't cute.



  39. 39

    Re: __xxd__ – Promoting condom use is always a great thing, but using a condom will not prevent the transmission of HPV. Simple pelvis to pelvis contact between two sexually active people is enough to pass it from one to the other. The virus resides in the hair follicles. Chlamydia and HPV are the #1 and #2 most common STD's encountered by humans.



  40. 40

    Re: sooozie – Nope.. there is currently no FDA-approved test to detect HPV in men.

  41. Renee says – reply to this


    41

    Jesus. Isn't there any shame??

    What a sick bastard!!



  42. 42

    Come on now….the HPV virus is not painful at all, not even an itch. It CERTAINLY does not stop someone from working. And she must have let it go for a LONG time AFTER it was VISIBLE, to have to have "operations" and become "sicker." She SHOULD sue him…and big time. But she must also be truthful.



  43. 43

    Looks like Heather Mills to me



  44. 44

    that sucks.



  45. 45

    I actually thought that was an old photo of Heather Mills. Whoops!



  46. 46

    Well he should get down on his knees and thank the good Lord he's not *my* husband. I would not be suing him, as there would be no need for that once I'd blown his head clean off his shoulders with the biggest fucking shotgun I could find. My policy is "you cheat: you die".

  47. BJT says – reply to this


    47

    she need to do a bobbit on him while he is asleep just slice it off and run.



  48. 48

    um…wow?
    she doesnt only find out her hubby of soandso years was TOTALLY cheating on her but she also gets the hpv of some menospeeky and her anything but faithfull husband



  49. 49

    THE AMERICAN CULTURE IS THE MOST SHAMEFUL ON THE PLANET, BECAUSE COMPARED TO THIRD-WORLD COUNTRIES, YOU HAVE THE BENEFIT OF MODERNIZATION AND ADVANCED EDUCATION, YET YOU HAVE NOT EVOLVED. THE ARROGANCE; THE SELFISHNESS; THE CARELESSNESS; it is ingrained in who you are as a people. Your leaders, which should be your best and brightest Americans, are drunks, and thieves and cheaters, presently and historically. They are supposed to set the standards for your society. Unfortunately, they have. You blindly defend your country as the best in the world, without seeing it for what it really is. You value money over character; You value appearance over substance; You value your placement in the world based on your size, not on your reputation; and you will not quiver an eyelash at someone elses pain, as long as it is not Your pain.
    Shameful Culture!



  51. 51

    My ex gave me Herpes after having numerous affairs. He was my second sexual partner ever :( . If he had money I would've sued him for everything he had… GOOD FOR HER.



  52. 52

    The woman on the poster looks like Heather Mills…. Hmmm…..



  53. 53

    He's a DOG!



  54. 54

    Isnt that Mucca? haha



  55. 55

    This is really too bad and if true she deserves compensation. If she wins it will change many things of what women can do to protect themselves. Everyone says use a condom, however when you are married you love, trust, and respect your partner and want to raise a family. Can't really do that with condoms. Plus most STD's are not preventable with condoms. Also, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO TESTING FOR HOV IN MEN! I married my high school sweet heart after a long seperation. Kning his exwife cheated on him I required prior to our dating a full STD work up for both of us.

    We both had clean bills of health in the lower regions and for AIDS. Here we are 7 years later and I have severe level HPV with a schedule LEEP test in two weeks. My husband was not unfaithfull which I know to be true and we were told either of us could have been carrying it for years.

    Went to the doctor and said what's up with this and she confirmed tha 80% get this sometime in their lifetime and there is no tests for men.

    This is why there is an HPV vaccine for younger girls. So they can protect themselves. Since it is found to be one of the leading causes of cervical cancer it can also cause penile cancer in men.

    Anyway back to the story, we are not technically designed to be monogomous but are smart enough to be for safety and security. This is just another disease that proves that we should be a species that has one partner for life.



  56. 56

    I thought this was about H Mills… she looks identical and wouldn't surprise me if she has an STD…

  57. efab says – reply to this


    57

    ok… so HPV only turns into warts if someone's immunity is compromised. and unless she is referring to burning off warts, there is no surgery for HPV. HPV is HUGELY common and really not considered an STD anymore since its passed from mother to child, in addition to sexual contact among other ways. so, i don't know why i'm on an HPV educational bandwagon, but if this reaches anyone… i highly advocate the Gardasil (sp?) vaccination for all girls, starting now, to start slowly but surely reducing the amount of complications that come from the virus. it will take generations most likely for it to make a difference, but worth the effort since science has provided this new vaccination. my 2 cents…



  58. 58

    uraPIGperez - interesting analogy and it's not the first time I have heard of it. I agree as a US citizen that most people are the way you say in this country, however I have noticed that many people from other countries are actually much worse. It is the culture they are used to I suppose. I wish everyone would treat others the way they want to be treated. That is how I am. What country are you from? I want to know what country it is where everyone treats others fairly and where everyone cares about their actions towards others and how it makes others feel.

    I agree the guy is a pig and the ex wife should get the money if he is worth that. However, HPV will not cause pain like she says so it is extremely fishy there. I am sure that she has proven she has strains of HPV (there are like 100) but they either do nothing, create warts (which don't cause pain but are gross) or create cancer. The cancer is very treatable and cancer is not mentioned.

    It is super gross that he was having sex with chics when he was on trips but the fact that he never wore a condom is mega nastiness.

    As stated this lady should have definitely left him the first time she found out he cheated. Not to say she deserves what happened to her but what an idiot for sticking around.



  59. 59

    I do want to say that for the rich husbands that are faithful and have wives who marry them for money but later divorce them trying to take all their millions when all they did was have sex with their husband and spend his money, they are simply high end whores. That is all they are. I don't care what people say or think, if people do not think that hot women who never have to work and don't have to raise their children because they hire people to do it for them, and they just stay skinny enough and suck enough to get Prada and Gucci…they are all whores! I mean why should the man slave 40+ hours per week, deal with stress and clients, etc. just so the wife can go have Mimosas with her friends laughing about how easy they have it and go shopping and go to the spa…and then take at least half his money that he worked all his life for? Hell, the men are giving them sex too. I bet the men wish they could take a break and just do whatever they wanted to for years while the woman goes and hussles a million bucks or more per year. It happens but very very rarely. Courtney Cox is one woman who comes to mind. She is God's gift to this earth and to David Arquette.

    Anyway, the irony of it all is that women who do this wonder why they get no respect. LOL Get a f-in job WHORE!



  60. 60

    Re: uraPIGperez – YOU ARE WRONG. There is no such thing as a perfect country. The only reason why the American culture is so highly publicized is because most people talk about it world wide. But if you do your research, most people are selfish and have an innate sense of blind patriotism. GET OVER YOURSELF!!!!!!
