LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An ex-girlfriend of comedian Bill Maher sued him for $9 million on Thursday, saying he enticed her to give up a successful career as a flight attendant with false promises to marry her and buy her a home in Beverly Hills.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An ex-girlfriend of comedian Bill Maher sued him for $9 million on Thursday, saying he enticed her to give up a successful career as a flight attendant with false promises to marry her and buy her a home in Beverly Hills.

A spokesman for Maher, host of HBO's "Real Time" political satire show, had no immediate comment on the breach of contract suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by ex-model and airline stewardess Coco Johnsen, whose real name is Nancy Johnson.

In the suit, Johnsen said she and Maher met in 2003 and that their relationship lasted about 17 months, during which time she moved in with him and he promised to marry her and buy her a Beverly Hills house that was formerly lived in by Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.

The suit said that Maher convinced her to give up her 12-year job with Delta airlines so that she could devote herself full-time to him and his career. But the suit added that after Johnsen quit working, Maher became abusive and made "insulting, humiliating and degrading racial comments" about her, as a black woman, and physically threatened and abused her.

She's the idiot for hanging out with an even bigger idiot. She shoulda known she's always be secondary to his first love - himself and his porn.
