Author Sherrilyn Kenyon Drops Suit Against Ex for Poisoning

In the original court documents, Kenyon said she started suspecting foul play when, about five years ago, "her hair and teeth started falling out, and she developed intense nausea, tremors, disorientation, bone loss, facial swelling, and a peculiar metallic taste in her mouth." Tests of her hair, blood, and nails appeared to reveal that she'd had high levels of toxic heavy metals in her system, including lithium, barium, arsenic, and mercury. Her suit notes that her husband had taken out a hefty life-insurance policy on her and "stood to gain millions of dollars upon her demise." Additionally, the author says her husband mismanaged her business affairs, stole from her, and tried to sabotage her professional relationships. She also believes Lawrence was having an affair with Kerrie Ann Plump, one of the assistants involved in the suit.
