Usher’s ex-wife’s clarification

Tameka Foster, ex-wife of singer Usher Raymond has slammed Usher over the recent herpes scandal he has been involved in.

Tameka who was married to Usher from 2007 to 2009 took to social media to make it loud and clear that she does not harbor the incurable herpes virus.

Tameka posted a photo on her Instagram which said:

“UNF***WITHABLE: When you’re truly at peace and in touch with yourself & nothing anyone says or does bothers you and no negativity can touch you.”

Below the photo, Tameka wrote:

“Do not come on my page discussing rumors or adult people that have NOTHING to do with me. I have been divorced 8 years… Some issues are not my business… ex husbands, ex friends, bitch-maids, snakes, hoes, characters, etc.”

Tameka further added:

“Not my circus, not my clowns,” she continued. “I’m good and my health (Everywhere is great), well my right knee hurts and I need reading glasses but otherwise I’m awesome and enjoying the sun. Miss me with other grown folks crazy gossip.. Not my business at all. I’m living my bestest life. Always. Miss me with the bullshit. Thank you.”

The herpes scandal and lawsuit!

Usher was slapped with a court case in 2012 by a former celebrity stylist who claimed that she was ill-informed by the singer about his genital herpes infection.

He had told her that he has been tested negative for the virus even though his pens had a greenish discharge.

She has further stated that he deliberately and knowingly had unprotected sex with her. This led her to acquire the disease from him. The stylist has further said that she had cervical sores, fever, and chills.

The lady infected by the virus transmitted from Usher had further said that between 2011 and 2012 her medical bills amounting to $ 2754.40 were footed by Usher. It is around this time that the stylist became aware of the whole matter.

It is believed that Usher had contracted this incurable problem in 2009 or 2010 when he was cheating on Tameka and their divorce was underway.

The stylist has said:

“I feel that my health and body have been ruined and I have suffered severe emotional distress and have been extremely depressed … knowing there is no cure.”

It has also been learned that the singer has paid the complainant $ 1.1 million towards the settlement of this lawsuit. Usher is wedded to Grace Miguel since 2015.

Grace is 8 years older than Usher and has been his long-term girlfriend and manager. The couple had quietly tied the knot in Cuba in September 2015.

Neither Usher nor Grace has provided any statement from their side on this matter.

What is herpes infection?

Herpes infection involving the genital areas is caused by herpes simplex type 1 or 2. However, most of the cases are due to the type 2 virus. It is caused by sexual contact.

It causes blisters which may break and give rise to painful sores. There may be associated fever, chills, and feelings of malaise. Some of the cases may go dormant.

In this stage, though the person with the virus may have no disease, it can still be transmitted to another person. Hence it could be dangerous.

Most of the cases are characterized by attacks followed by periods of dormancy. The virus cannot be eradicated from the body and remains in the nerves. These virus particles get activated when triggered.

The condition can be diagnosed by physical examination, laboratory tests, and cultures. There is no cure and involves treatment of pain and symptoms. Some anti-virus drugs assist in faster healing.
