NEW YORK — A former girlfriend of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has reached a deal for a “sexually driven” memoir.
Lillian McEwen, who dated Thomas in the 1980s, has signed with TitleTown Publishing, a Wisconsin-based publisher specializing in true crime and “inspirational” survivor stories. “D.C. Unmasked and Undressed” is scheduled to come out in early February, TitleTown announced Tuesday, adding that the book was “sexually driven.”

McEwen, a retired administrative law judge, broke a long public silence last fall when she told The Washington Post that Thomas often made inappropriate comments and was “obsessed with porn,” allegations made by former Thomas colleague Anita Hill during his 1991 confirmation hearings. Thomas vehemently denied such behavior.
The book will follow a dust-up last year over Thomas’ wife, Virginia, who drew criticism for starting a nonprofit tea party-affiliated lobbying group, Liberty Central. Virginia Thomas also made headlines when she left a telephone message with Hill asking her for an apology.

The three will team up beginning April 12 at the Belasco Theatre on 44th Street for the darkly comic tale of a bachelor who falls for a plus-size girl. The show officially opens April 26.

“Fat Pig” premiered off-Broadway in 2004, and LaBute, whose films include “Nurse Betty” and “Your Friends and Neighbors,” will be making his Broadway debut as its director.
