The last has obviously not been heard about Usher and the growing number of people he may or may not have allegedly infected with Herpes. Weeks after singer, Usher paid a woman $1.1 million in 2012 to settle a lawsuit after she claimed to have contracted herpes from him, three more individuals are suing the singer alleging he failed to warm them of his STD diagnosis.
Attorney Lisa Bloom who is representing Rob Kardashian’s ex, Blac Chyna in her revenge porn case against the reality star, plans to file a lawsuit in California on Monday on behalf of the alleged victims.
While two of the accusers are named in the complaint as ‘Jane Doe’ and ‘John Doe’, choosing to remain private, a third accuser will speak out at a press conference after the suit is filed.
According to court documents filed by a celebrity stylist whom Usher settled a suit with in 2012, the 38 year old singer was allegedly diagnosed with herpes around 2009 or 2010.
The stylist accused him of consciously and purposefully withholding his diagnosis from her and continued to have unprotected sex with her. The woman was tested and diagnosed with herpes after suffering from vaginal sores, fevers and chills.
California law states that it is illegal to knowingly or recklessly transmit an STD, and court papers showed the singer paid $2,754.40 of the victim’s medical bills in 2012. He eventually settled the case with the stylist on Dec. 28, 2012 for $1.1 million.
Thinking we had heard the last of it, another lady who chose to go by the name, Jane Doe had initially sued Usher of $10 million, accusing him of exposing her to herpes after they had unprotected sex earlier this year. But after confirming after that she had contarcted the virus via an STD test, she increased her demand to $20 million for emotional harm, medical bills and punitive damages.
Usher is currently married to his second wife, Grace with whom he tied the knot with, in 2015. So far, Grace has remained resolute in standing by her man.
