Plummer, 30, countered in court papers of his own that McMillan has turned on him with a "homophobic'' vengeance and is trying to force his return to an uncertain future in Jamaica.

But if Plummer himself credibly testifies that he believed he was straight at the time they married, he may successfully prevent an annulment -- and that, in turn, may mean the prenup is enforceable (or, if he were to void the prenup, that he would enjoy the typical property rights of a divorcing spouse).
