  • Judge Grants Restraining Order Against Usher’s Stalker + Stalkers New Video Message Raymond… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Jul, 9 2012 | Written by ATLien

    An Atlanta judge has granted Usher Raymond IV a year long restraining order against his stalker, Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw.

    If you’re not familiar with Fulton County stalking ordinances, once paperwork is filed, a petitioner is granted a 30 day “temporary” order of protection (TPO) if they can convince a judge that one is needed. If the defendant violates the order during that 30 day period, they can be arrested for aggravated stalking.

    Once the 30 days has passed, the respondant must appear in court to plead their case as to why a full restraining order should be granted.

    Usher appeared this morning to plead his case.

    Details…

    Apparently the judge was convinced that 30 days not enough and that in the month since the TPO was been issued, Darshelle has proven that she is indeed a threat to Raymond’s safety.

    Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw has a long criminal past which includes robbery, burglary and aggravated stalking.  She was first arrested outside Usher’s Georgia home on June 24 after she’d already been escorted off the property days earlier. She was later taken to a psych ward for a mental evaluation but was subsequently released.

    [LISTEN to Usher Raymond's Terrified 911 Call]

    Darshelle hit the net with a response video, where she claims that Usher was “defaming her character” by filing the order against her since he gave her money and her bank records could prove it (click HERE if you missed that).

    Usher and Jones-Rakestraw were both in court this morning, where the judge heard both sides and agreed with Raymond that Jones-Rakestraw is a threat and should not be anywhere near his family members.

    If you read StraightFromTheA on the regular, you’d know that Jones-Rakestraw has posted up on this site and responds regularly to anyone and everyone who comments on posts about her stalking case. She normally comments under her REAL NAME (it’s her) and is clearly enjoying her 5 minutes of notoriety.

    Darshelle left the following comment about the order in the post about Usher’s 911 call July 4, 2012 at 10:36am:

    The other two adults
    Rena Latrice Oden
    Ernestine Carter, both living off of Usher and his children.
    I was not very happy because when I was in the house observing. I didn’t like the way that the light skinned chick was talking to NavEiyd. Nav wanted to play with Play-Doh and the lady was being nasty to him,the way I took it. She to him you are not playing with no play-Doh you are about to eat a snack. She never asked the boys to wash their hands which disturbed me :/ I went up to NavEiyd and said to him if you eat all of your snack, I’ll make sure that you get to play with play-doh.
    I hope that all is well,smh

    FYI – the order covers Usher, his two sons Naviyd and Usher V, his mother Jonetta Patton, grandmother Erestine Carter and his aunt Rena Latrice Oden.

    Darshelle also sent over a list of 39 questions where she also copied Barack Obama… but that’s beside the point.

    All I know is, the only thing Usher had to do to convince the judge was to play Darshelle’s videos. She probably sealed her own fate with this last video she did to Usher last week…

    Do you think Darshelle be able to control her Usher impulses and honor the restraining order imposed by the State of Georgia?

    Stay tuned…

        Even though she looks hideous she can sing. I think should’ve put her focus on her craft than on usher.

      This is great news! I pray for the family to have continuous protection long after this restraining order expires. This family has been through enough. They need normalcy now. And hopefully within that time Darshelle gets the mental help she needs to productively exist in society.

      Lol……who is she singing the Whitney Houston song to Usher??? And I was on the floor (ROLLING) Chris Tucker Voice LMAO!!! At the Darshelle dance video to Ushers "Scream" song this nut had her Flashdance moves down and everything. I swear all I could picture while I was laughing was this fool Darshelle in the Psychiatric institution with the rest of the "Birds Who Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest" dancing a routine to this very song….All jokes aside though this is one NUTTY M.F!

      Well even though she looks awful I will give it to her she can sing like hell boy. She needs to forget about usher and try to find someone else who will help her with her career.

      She is pretty to me. She just has some *ahem, cough* issues. LOL

      Since the consensus seems to be that she can sing, could this have been an elaborate stunt to get herself noticed by the public/music industry?

      Although I am not sure how many record labels will be interested due to the negative press.

        i agree she is pretty … and talented … and somewhat (used loosely) smart … to be real, if she didnt stalk usher, and posed the same vids of her singing and dancing … would they go viral like this … she is smart enough to realize that now that she has national attention, she can display her talent … i mean there are billions of youtube vids with equally if not more talented than she is … but hers have gone viral bc of the neg pub … coincidence … i dont think so ..

      she needs to stalk a damn mop and clean up that cluttered looking house. she looks like a prostitute with all that drag queen make up.

      fyi, does anyone know why ‘notify me of new comments on this post’ is automatically checked all the time? i dont remember it doing that before. maybe i did something on my browser.

      Wow. The only thing I could think of after watching those videos was…

      "It places the lotion in the basket."

      I don’t think a year is enough, but considering that she FINALLY came face to face with him, that may be enough to satisfy her. And she’s (in her mind) famous. She’s the talk of the town and her voice has been heard. That may be it, but if I were Usher I’d renew it at year’s end. Of course, if she does nothing it will be thrown out.

      I know this is the last bullshit he wanted to deal with, on top of everything else.

      I feel sorry for her. She suffers from Bi-polar disorder, depression and anxiety, someone/her family needs to help her and make sure she is on the right medication and is taking them.And in the meantime keep her far away from Usher and his family.

      What’s disturbing (if she’s telling the truth) is the fact that she was that close to Usher’s son. His people have to me more careful. You can’t just open your door for up anybody.
