What made her decide to come out now rather than earlier? And what she said in the press conference was, ‘Hey Usher: If you’re negative just say so, so that everybody’s mind can be put at rest.’ Does that sound like somebody to you who’s just greedy for money? We haven’t asked for a particular amount of money, unlike some other cases that have been filed. We haven’t put a dollar amount on the case. That’s a big stretch from that to say that she’s lying about this case.

I think if 99% of America was being honest, they too would say they need money. And she has over the years made jokes to her friends on social media and they’ve joked back things like, ‘Hey! Wanna loan me me a million dollars?’ This is just the way people talk to each other. This is all based on one post on social media of out thousands and thousands of posts that she’s done where she simply said three words: “I need money.” Let’s not enlarge that to “numerous sources says that she’s desperate for money.” 99% of America needs money. Well, numerous sources have not revealed that. Numerous sources have indicated that your client, Quantasia Sharpton, once revealed on Twitter that she was in need of money. But you know, I think ordinary people deserve to have their rights protected. As to the others, we’re still reviewing their stories and still investigating. We’ve decided to represent three of these individuals who have stories that have corroboration, which means evidence or witnesses to back them up. So my team at the Bloom Firm and I have been doing a lot of research on this, and a lot of investigation the last couple of weeks.

Some of them are positive and some of them are negative, but in all cases, if he was positive and he knew it and he didn’t disclose it, he exposed them to the virus and that’s a violation of their rights. They would not have had sex with him if they knew he had a terrible STD like herpes. They’re real concerned about their reproductive health, because they say that they’ve had unprotected sex with Usher since 2012. It’s possible that those news reports are false, but based on that, a lot of people have called me. The news organization that posted it is standing by their story. There were some documents posted online to substantiate that. In the case of Usher, there have been news reports for about a month that he was diagnosed with genital herpes in 2009 or so. And then, in 2012, he paid off a woman who he had infected without warning her first. That’s what I’ve been doing for 31 years. The woman initially filed a $10 million lawsuit against him but raised it to $20 million after she allegedly found out she tested positive for the STD.Lisa Bloom: Well, I’m generally on the side of the underdog against a powerful person or company. The latest lawsuit against the 'No limit' singer comes as a woman in Atlanta claimed last month that he did not tell her he had the STD prior to having unprotected sex.

They claim that 38-year-old Usher, whose real name is Usher Raymond IV, did not warn them that he had an STD. The other woman and man involved in the suit will remain anonymous and will appear as Jane Doe and John Doe in the lawsuit.īloom says that the three people claim they had sexual contact with the Grammy award-winning singer after 2012. LOS ANGELES: Two more women and a man are reportedly planning to sue Usher alleging that the singer exposed them to herpes without telling them.Ĭelebrity attorney Lisa Bloom said she is planning to file the suit in California on Monday and will hold a news conference to correspond with the filing as one of the women is set to appear with her, reports .uk.
