The Post reports a woman is suing her husband for $25 million, claiming that the sexual transmitted diseases she has now are the result of his indiscretions. Stephanie Lerner says after being infected with "several severe incurable strains of the human papilloma virus," she's had a number of operations and now is in constant pain She says her venture capitalist husband Mark first give her trichomoniasis in 1996 (he admitted to cheating then); when she learned about her HPV in 2005, he apparently "admitted to her and their marriage counselor that he'd continued having unprotected sex with hookers in Asia, as well as with a mistress in New York." He also allegedly said, "I wish you would just die already" when she was ill. The two are reportedly in the middle of a divorce.
