Usher infected his stylist ex-lover with HERPES then paid her £800,000 to settle ‘ruined’ victim’s lawsuit, bombshell court documents claim
The 'Confessions' singer, worth an estimated £138million, knew he had the disease before repeatedly romping with the woman, the explosive docs show
POP icon Usher paid a former lover £800,000 after he infected her with HERPES, court documents have sensationally revealed.
The explosive docs shows that the singer, 38, knew he had the incurable disease before repeatedly having unprotected sex with the woman – who says her “body has been ruined”.
First published by , the affidavit states that the U Got It Bad star, real name Usher Raymond IV, was diagnosed with the condition in either 2009 or 2010.
Usher, who is worth an estimated £138million, did not disclose having the disease while having intercourse with the celebrity stylist despite “greenish discharge” dripping from his penis, the documents say.
The papers state: “Believing Raymond’s statements that (the discharge) had been nothing and cleared up, (she) continued her relationship.”
Three weeks after the first encounter, and several romps later, the plaintiff started to suffer from vaginal sores, fevers and chills and was diagnosed with herpes.
In California, where Usher lives, it is illegal to “knowingly or recklessly transmit a sexually transmitted disease (STD)”.
The Confessions singer, who used the pseudonym “Papa Bear” in messages, paid medicals bills on behalf of his ex-lover totalling £2,000 between 2011 and 2012.
In the same period Usher had his doctor tell the woman he was a carrier of the non-lethal disease.
According to the court documents, the plaintiff said she “feels that her health and body have been ruined”.

Usher is now married to his current wife, and former executive chef on The Cosby Show, Grace Miguel who he wed in 2015.
The Grammy-winning artist, who has sold more than 75 million records worldwide, has yet to comment on the shocking revelations.
