McAfee Can't Protect From 'Wonder' Virus
rubbafish by Colin Weston October 16th, 2001
Soul legend Stevie Wonder's ex-girlfriend has filed a lawsuit against him, claiming that he gave her a sexually transmitted disease. Angela McAfee alleges in a lawsuit filed on October 4th in Superior Court that Wonder concealed a contagious venereal disease which she contracted through sexual contact. According to the lawsuit, McAfee discovered that she had contracted genital herpes in October 2000. The lawsuit is for the amount of 30 million dollars.

McAfee claims that Wonder, real name Steveland Morris, sought a relationship with her for over 10 years. He persuaded her to quit working as a wardrobe consultant in August 1996 and move into his estate. The couple verbally agreed the same year that he would be the sole income earner so she could remain at home to assist the blind singer/song writer.

Stevie's camp had little to say except "The only breach that has been made is one of Stevie's trust in someone he had heretofore called a friend"
