Beverly Johnson, the first African American woman ever to grace the cover of Vogue magazine, has sued by an ex-boyfriend for defamation of character and infliction of emotional distress. Mark Anthony Burk’s allegations are actually in response to a suit filed against him by Johnson. Johnson claims that Burk threatened to kill her and her pets.

Burk claims that those allegations tarnished his character and impacted his career as a professional golf player. He wants $5,000,000 plus his legal fees.

Johnson previously dated Sex and the City star Chris Noth, whom she also accused of abuse.

Shauna Sand asked for and got a restraining order this week against her estranged husband Romain Chavent. Sand was previously a Playboy Playmate and wife of Lorenzo Lamas, in case you’re trying to figure out who the heck she is.

Chavent is now prohibited from being within 100 yards of Shauna. In her application for the protection order, Sand claimed that Chavent “bit my lips as hard as he could, holding me down for 10 seconds, causing severe bleeding and cuts to my lips. He then spit the blood and skin back at me.” She also claimed that he held her on the bed, “suffocating me with his hands over my nose and mouth for 20 minutes” and threatened to throw her off the 9th floor balcony.

The drama.
