Model/Actress Johnson Sued By Ex

Supermodel/actress Beverly Johnson is facing another legal battle with her ex-boyfriend after he accused her of reneging on a verbal agreement to financially support him "for the rest of his life".

Johnson has been locked in a bitter war of words with professional golfer Mark Burk since splitting in December 2008.

The former couple has already filed suits against one another - Johnsonis suing amid allegations Burk beat and threatened to kill her, while heis taking legal action against her for allegedly lying about the claims.

Now Johnson has been hit with a new lawsuit for palimony - even though she was never married to Burk.

In papers filed in California on Tuesday (29Dec09), Burk claims the pair made an oral deal to keep him "for the rest of his life in the same style and manner that was established" during their relationship," reports Tmz. He is suing for $5 million (£3.1 million) in damages after Johnson reportedly turned her back on the deal.
