Divorces can be ugly. We all know that. And Terry McMillan's has been especially so, since the crux is that, oops, her husband forgot to tell her that he was actually gay.
So what's a feuding couple to do? Settle in court? Sue each other into oblivion? Or option three: go on Oprah and argue to your heart's content. But considering they've already lobbied jabs at each other on Good Morning America and the Tavis Smiley Show, this is nothing new for the not-so-happy couple.
Though I must say, the slide show of the episode is tremendously entertaining, especially when Dr. Susan Robin weighs in on how dear Terry and Jonathan can cope with the stresses of their marriage:
Dr. Robin also shared the wish that Jonathan leads a truer life—as well as her hopes for Terry.
"It's also that you will learn to self-protect better," Dr. Robin tells Terry. "Because it's not just about him learning to be protective and honest—but it's also about you being selective and discriminating and using your wisdom and your brilliance to make other choices that benefit you. And that's an important lesson that I wouldn't want you to leave here today—or anybody who's watching—not having learned what it is in you that overtrusted, overinvested in a way, that ended up harming you and putting you at risk and jeopardy."
All well and good, but an evil part of me was hoping for the Jerry Springer version, ca. 1997...
