ABC reported that McMillan's husband, Johnathan Plummer, is seeking money from McMillan. He said he believes he deserves the money because her best-selling novel is based on their love affair. There was also a movie made on the book.

"I'm not asking for a lot," he said. "I'm not being greedy."

McMillan talked with PBS's Tavis Smiley about the relationship with a younger man.

"He's a habitual liar, and he's a sociopath," she told Smiley.

McMillan's spoke with Smiley after Plummer appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday.

He told ABC he was faithful to McMillan and that no one can come forward claiming to have had an affair with him.

McMillan said Plummer has risked her life for years by having sex with gay men.

"He wants my money, he should get a job," she said.

Plummer added he didn't know he was gay.

"Who knows at 20 years old that they are gay, straight, bisexual, transgender," he said.

McMillan said, "He's the one who is gay. He is the one who withheld this knowledge and information from me. He is the one who tried to hurt and sabotage my entire life. And all this is basically because he wants my money. He's not getting it."
