Now claims her "marriage" wasn't really a marriage. Remarkable how quickly she discarded her convictions as soon as she realized she might lose assets or pay alimony to her longterm stay at home "wife" and caretaker of "their" children...
Despite adopting twins with her partner and buying a home together, she now says she didn't realize their ceremony "would impose any long term legal obligations on me."
Demorest currently serves on Atlantaâ€s Human Relations Commission, where residents can launch complaints against businesses that violate the cityâ€s non-discrimination ordinance.
