Usher Allegedly Paid Over $1 Million To Settle Herpes Lawsuit

According to RadarOnline, Usher paid out $1.1 million to settle a lawsuit with a stylist who claimed the singer infected her with herpes back in 2012. According to court papers, the singer’s ex-wife, Tameka Foster, was also allegedly exposed to the virus. Usher has been said to have been labeled as an asymptomatic carrier by doctors. After initially admitting concern to his partner, Usher, later convinced her that an STD examination result was negative, and they continued to engage in unprotected sex.“Believing Raymond’s statements that it had been nothing and cleared up, [she] continued her relationship,” a lawyer for the victim wrote in a legal complaint for damages.Their romps went without a hitch until three weeks after a passionate hookup when the victim, whose identity is being withheld by Radar, woke up “feeling very sick” with a “fever of 100 degrees, chills, headache, and aches and pains.”She “also developed lesions and blisters in her vagina,” and was so terrified she sought treatment at urgent care, where a doctor promptly diagnosed her with herpes. Tameka hopped on Instagram to let her followers know she's healthy!
