Trouble continues to mount for ‘Moving Mountains’ maestro Usher.
The Grammy-winner has certainly been losing in the court of public opinion, as ongoing online ridicule seems to suggest, thanks to a group of accusers who claim the singer knowingly exposed them to the risk of herpes contraction.
Now, just a day after one of those accusers stepped forward at a press conference to shed some light on her alleged time with the singer, another party is coming forward claiming Ush failed to disclose his [alleged] herpes status to them too: his insurance company:
…they believe means they shouldn’t have to fork over a dime on his behalf.
According to court documents filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court…New York Marine and General Insurance Company believe they are under no obligation to defend the singer in his current lawsuits in Georgia and California or any potential lawsuits that may come down the road.
Among their list of reasons, New York Marine claims the policy between them and Usher “does not apply to ‘bodily injury’ … arising out of the transmission of any communicable diseases by insured.”
As if that isn’t enough, the story goes on to indicate:
…New York Marine claims the policy expressly states that New York Marine “does not provide coverage for an ‘insured’ who has a. intentionally concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance.”
The company also says Usher never made mention of the fact he settled a prior lawsuit in 2012 for $1.1 million over the same issue.
New York Marine is asking the court to rule that they are not obligated to defend Usher in any current or future lawsuits that are related to his alleged herpes status.
This is all so embarrassing for him.
Old Dirty D_ick Usher better pay off this hot mess, BUT A DUDE ALSO???? USHER IS BI-SEXUAL OR GAY????? PDIDDY must have turned him out also. SAD stuff……he’s worth 140 million so he good. Usher girl, WTH????
I wouldn’t be surprised if diddy turned him out. Ushers mom gave diddy custody of him when he was a child. Like who does that?
U write that s*** on every post
He did not break any laws. Why should he pay?
So sad…
Help me out guys because I’m not the most educated when it comes to STDs but is it really that serious. I mean from I know so many ppl have common stds. The way everyone isn’t acting like we’re talking about cancer or H**. Charlie sheen didn’t even get this level of embarrassment
Yes hsv 2 is a big deal. Have you ever seen pics of women with it? Looks so painful
I disagree. HSV2 is not a “big deal.” First, to catch it from Usher he would have to have had an outbreak (which is visible). Second, it is very treatable and if an outbreak occurred the treatment is topical. Third, it is very common.
These white leaders of the industry always try to tear our most influential black people down when they can’t make money off of them anymore and use black coons to carry out their mission.
Can’t agree with you on this one. Usher did this to himself. Gotta strap it up
So when someone does something like this TO himself, your only defense to is throw deflective blame at the white man? What “white leader” forced Usher to have illicit, unprotected and disease-spreading sexual contact with everybody… men included?
You’re the reason why people hate SJW’s. How embarrassing for him, and for you.
Can you even make a comment without throwing around that stupid ‘SJW’ term?
So a black man F’s up and you put it off on “white leaders.” Yeah, that makes sense. Your attitude is why black folks don’t move ahead. Instead of expecting (black) people to own their mistakes/misdeeds, you’ d rather blame someone else (in this case “white leaders,” whoever they are) while trying to make martyrs out of the fools that willfully screw up.
The “Woke” Generation, ladies and gentlemen.
(We’re actually asleep, just talking in it.)
Yes. …it. Ush is black…….. He is connected to the RACIST JUSTIN BIEBER. ..WHO WISHES BLACKS to die and made a video about it
You’re clearly asleep and lost but I got time today. The comment wasn’t about actions that led to to predicament, it the public perception that the commentor is speaking to. Charlie Sheen and countless others have knowingly transmitted DEADLY diseases and have not received the amount of ridicule and maltreatment in the press. Yes, h***** is awful but you’d be surprised to how many people have it and are asymptomatic.
What does being ‘woke’ or black advancement have to do with anything. Your irresponsible language and sweepings generalizations are embarsssing. You clearly have some prejudice s about the whole idea of being ‘woke’ and blacks in America feel. Ridiculing this ideal won’t make yourself and other people like you feel better.
Um, Usher hasn’t been dealt 1/10 the level of scrutiny and disdain over this as Charlie Sheen got. Sheen was fired from 2 shows, lambasted, is generally perceived as scum and has been blacklisted. Aside from snickering and gossip, what ill career effects has Ushered suffered over this?
@Avenger What Charlie Sheen did was far far worse. Charlie Sheen INTENTIONALLY infected people with a deadly disease, showed no regards or respect to the television shows he worked on, showed a huge amount of unprofessionalism, and was heavily addicted to many drugs. Charlie Sheen deserved far worse punishment for his actions.
H***** is unfortunate, but dude – Usher f#cks around with men??? Damn! This ruins a significant part of the soundtrack to my childhood.I can never listen to “U Got It Bad,” “My Way” or really any Usher song ever again.
All that because he supposedly had s** with a man? So if every musician you like has ever had same s** relations you would stop listening to music altogether?
Nah I would just find a new crop of musicians to listen to.
That’s just dumb…but do you I guess
SBC Get A Life! who cares if he goes with guys.. its probably that s**** he swallows that makes him sing so well you idiot!
Why are u so quick to believe this man tho?
I remember hearing a story about Chilli co-hosting a radio show, someone called in and asked for relationship advice. At the end of it, she said “…oh, and make sure your man is not bisexual.” This was right after her and Usher’s breakup and everyone sort of snickered at what she was seeming to imply, but ultimately dismissed it. I guess she wasn’t lying. Damn Usher, everything I thought I knew about you turns out to be false.
EDM…skinny jeans…The Voice…now H(e)rpes & gay s(e)x. This right here is just one too many. A Confessions part 2 that was 10x better than the first wouldn’t even be enough to fix this.
IN other news Woody Allen is still working even after his children accused him of raping them and after he married the daughter he adopted.
True tea! At this point, this is just a media lyncing for Usher. Not that i feel bad, he made his choices….But, most of small ass hollywood probably all have stds, and most likely happily spread them around.. But, an article where even his insurance company is throwing shade? Blacklisted! Folks arent even talking about rkelly anymore, which is a much bigger scandle.
Well I guess that is why he called his new album HARD TO LOVE
The. Lyrics. For. Hard to love speaks loud and clear…..he said he could kill you. In the song
Hilarious that people are throwing up names like Charlie Sheen and Woody Allen as justification for what Usher did and to get people to back off. That’s like bringing up Charles Manson to fend off criticism of the DC snipers. I notice that whenever a black celebrity screws up, the first thing some people wanna do is bring up what some random white celebrity did that has nothing to do with it.
They do that to deflect, because in their minds there’s some nefarious conspiracy to take down any and all celebrities of color. The stupid thing THEY did is just incidental. “White leaders” wanna see Usher destroyed because he’s black. Nevermind that he was the one slanging that dirty d*ck all over town and not telling anybody how unclean it was, or that his accusers are black. But…but…Charlie Sheen…
No it is …scandals can be covered up.
..since usher is black they feel is this a plot to ruin him….like when the whites tried to ruin m.j with r*** charges…whites are devils everyone knows that… They are obsessed with black people and like to use their media to make them the poster child for everything. When they can’t be the only ones on music earth with the issue. ..those rock stars.. are nasty but do we hear the hell they do….noooo
white devils do that to sports stars, actors also…but when they have career killing scandals it get swept under the rug by the white devils media. Ok.
