Usher Raymond’s ex-wife, Tameka Foster Raymond, is not giving up without a fight… and with her kids involved, who could blame her!
As you know, after a months long battle, a Fulton County judge ruled in the R&B superstar’s favor in the custody battle after he filed to obtain sole custody of their two young sons.

Nothing was ever proven that Tameka is/was an unfit parent, and there were mumblings online and off that Usher’s mega pockets may have influenced the outcome.
[READ: Raymond v. Raymond: With Friends Like These... Who Needs Enemies?]
Today, Lisa West, the attorney who represented Tameka in the bitter custody battle filed a HUGE motion where she is requesting a new trial in the case…. and the facts being presented in the motion are EXPLOSIVE!
Details below…
Tameka’s lawyer alleges that John Mayoue, Usher’s attorney, has won EVERY case that he has ever brought in front of Judge Bensonetta Tipton-Lane, the Fulton County judge who ruled in the custody case.
The legal requirement is that cases be randomly and evenly assigned to judges upon filing, since January 1, 2008, John Mayoue has had 100% of his highest profile cases before this court.
Also according to the legal documents filed today, Mr. Mayoue “garnered 83% of the contributions” made for Judge Bensonetta Tipton-Lane’s reelection campaign…
[READ: PROOF Usher's Attorney's Raised Money For Judge's Campaign *Court Docs*]
The Motion also alleges that the Judge did NOT disclose the fact that she had that relationship with John Mayoue prior to the start of the case. Tameka’s attorney says it’s the judge’s responsibility to disclose that information and NOT the attorney’s job to seek it.
While none of this means that a new trial will be granted, it’s interesting that it’s all being brought to light, so some answers will definitely have to be given.
So stay tuned…. the Raymond vs. Raymond custody battle saga is definitely NOT over.
[Sidebar: I'm still questioning why Usher never took that drug test (and why the judge didn't make him) but that's just me...]
Cue… “Confessions” (or not).
One more thing… for those smart “A”zz Usher stans in the comments section, Tameka has always had joint legal and joint physical custody of her sons with her first husband Ryan Glover. Get your facts straight… or just keep reading StraightFromtheA. ((hugs)))

Lawwwd my head is starting to hurt…something has got to give at this point..I envy neither of them and I hope that the children are kept away from any rumblings of this mess
This womans lawyer Lisa is a cold beast! She is going for truth and BLOOD> I commend her "balls" in this case. She is challenging them all. She is dope.
Not impressed! What kind of lawyer doesn’t sort that out from the beginning? Yes, the judge *should* have disclosed the fundraising, but it’s not like it’s some big secret. It’s public record.
It may be public record but it still was the judge and the Usher’s lawyer duty to disclose the info so this is not a reflection on Tameks’s lawyer…
I meant Tameka…
Right. This information doesn’t change anything about the ruling, nor will there be a new trial. No one is going to sit through all that drama again. I thought this post was going to say some "explosive" information about Usher was going to be used in the appeal. This information is not explosive.
Exactly, and I have to believe that it was given in discovery and that her attorney just trusted that no Judge would take children from their Mother, but she should have read up on Dwayne Wades case prior to thinking it was not possible. This is the year of the father.
Me too, William. I’m probably in the minority when I say that her attorney is a BAAD bitch. She’s the black version of that one white blond attorney with curly hair, that was a commentator during the OJ trial. A beast.
Lol I love this blog
I don’t care what anyone says. Tameka only wants those kids back for that Big Child Support Check. I bet if Usher told her he would still pay her $8K a month if she agreed to drop the appeal and let primary custody remain with him,she would be racing down to that Courthouse to withdraw that appeal.Can we say "GoldDigger"? Yes, we can!
Errrr $8,000 is ALL her child support is from Usher???? $8k is not a lot of money to people that are used to having millions. Some women get $20k per child in other places. $8,000 is nothing to deal with babies for 18 years! Are you sure thats all she gets???? Where did you see that?
She should earn her own money and stop collecting child support.
She earns her own money and why shouldn’t Usher support his own kids? Are you crazy
you’re dumb a/f very very very dumb and stupid I cant say it enough! this woman does make her own money she’s a celebrity wardrobe stylist & she owns 2 home decor stores. Tameka is also very involved with her childrens school. You’re a douche Bag to think a woman does not deserve child support!! did she make them by herself NO it takes to DUMBO
I think $8K is fine when you’re sharing custody. In non celebrity cases where custody is shared neither parent pays child support because each parent has equal time with the child. They are only making Usher pay that because of his celebrity/income status. Tameka didn’t initially have primary custody, but since Usher has primary custody now, his child support payments would probably be even lower. Also, I think Usher had been letting Tameka stay in that house free of charge. She didn’t get that house during the divorce settlement.
"In non celebrity cases where custody is shared neither parent pays child support"
That’s not true. It all depends on the best interrest of the child and the parents income.
Where is your proof that Tameka only want primary custody for a big pay check?
I’m so sick of you nutty Usher fans that have dogged that woman since Usher married her.I also feel that all of you that refer to her as GOLD-DIGGER are PROJECTING what YOU know onto Tameka.
I totally agree! She always got dogged by the public for no good reason. He obviously liked something or loved her enough to not date but MARRY her. They have two sons, I’m sure there was no gun to his head when he made them.
People bashed her from the gate and I never knew why. Just black hate. the usual .
Exactly!
I can also understand why at times Tameka may gets defensive with some people because they are so hateful towards her.
Many of those same evil spirits even blamed her for the death of her son and even used his death to say it "was karma",I mean who does that except something that is evil to the bone as my Grandmother would say…
I agree with you 100%. Never understood why people hated her so much from jump. He obviously loved her enough to put a ring on it and have two babies with her. Now all of a sudden he hates her so much. WHY???? And for the people hating and judging this woman I sure hope you never have to be judged so harshly.
Maybe it had something to do with her not having custody of her previous sons or the fact that she ‘cheated’ so publicly with Usher while married to a pretty decent guy in Ryan Glover. Or maybe it was the all out war she waged against Ushers mom and the fact that she was always on twitter fighting with someone – even after she had the man. I think there are several reasons why people didn’t like her but her response to the hate made it worse as it goes without saying that Usher’s career definitely suffered while married to her.
Yup. People talking about she just wants a paycheck like she doesn’t love her sons. Usher is a dick, plain and simple. He wants to take those boys from their mama to go on tour AFTER they just lost their brother. They are young, but they understand Kile isn’t there even if they don’t know why. They have to be hurting over that and seeing their mother go through this. Bamma is nasty to his own mother, so I expect nothing less.
If there is a rift between Usher and his mother, I wonder who caused it. Usher and his Mom were close before she came along.
amen, she is not mentally stable and never has been! im glad usher fighting for those boys, someone has to, tameka is nuts, any time a woman get with a man when she was his stylist and she knew he was with chili her so called friend, then you know that type of woman only looking to come up and nothing else!!!!
So it’s her fault that Usher cheated on Chili?
Plus, Usher dated three women between Chilli and Tameka. He dated Melinda Santiago, Eyesha Brightwell and another Iesha, THEN Tameka. Next they’ll be blaming her for the economy. If you want to blame anyone for breaking up Ush and Chilli, blame Melinda.
And lets not forget crazy Naomi Campbell.
no it’s not her fault, but they were all cheating hell and how you get them is how you lose them, she left her husband for usher so hey look what happ!
So that means when Usher gets married to Grace…wait, who’s going to cheat on whom? lol Cheat on each other, perhaps?
I have never heard that Tameka was friends with Silly, I mean Chilli. Chilli was likely dumped over those babyhairs and that bossy attitude. Shes cute not pretty but annoying from that TV show. Not a fan. I doubt they were friends. Another rumor.
Barb… not babyhairs!!!?? hahahahahahaha
Be Objective. Go to Hell. She doesn’t want her kids for the child support you idiot. She wants her kids because she birth them dumb ass. Money talks. Bull shit walks. Usher’s money bought the trial. I hope she gets her kids back.
Most women don’t get "joint" custody, they get "full" custody. If she has "joint physical custody" with her first husband, something is up with her. More than likely the reason she lost this time.
If she orignally agreed to have joint custody with usher why couldn’t she have agreed to have joint custody with her first husband? Especially when they live in the same area? Most men who want to be in their kids life would ask for joint custody. Most of the good father’s i know have some type of joint custody of their kids and wouldn’t just "give" the mother "full" custody. People kill me assuming that she must be a bad mom because of that.
Thanks atlien for clearing that part up since everyone kept bring up her joint custody with the first husband
EXACTLY!!!!There is nothing wrong with Tameka wanting her children father’s to be involved with the kids they share.
I hate it when ignoramuses get on blogs speaking on a person in the negative sense based on their own lives….
Cosign… I have joint custody with my ex-husband and not because there’s anything wrong with me or him. He want’s to be in my son’s life and I want my son to have his father in his life. PERIOD! No one is a bad parent just because they agree to joint custody.
Exactly!!!!
I believe the type of women that says that something is wrong because "a woman has joint custody" are the types that would probably keep their child’s father from seeing them because they want the man back and hate that he’s moved on…..
You may have joint custody but who has physical custody? There is a difference between joint and physical custody as joint custody just means that you will jointly decide what is best for your children. The person with physical custody gets the child support. That that is the difference as Tamika/Usher have ‘joint’ custody but he also has ‘physical’ custody meaning he doesn’t have to pay her child support. Same thing with Dwayne Wade.
Custody is divided into 2 areas: physical, where the child(ren) lays his/her head and legal meaning who decides/is responsible for schools, religion, healthcare, etc. Unless one of the parents is unfit, JOINT custody is the greatest benefit for the child. Sooooo, SOLE custody may work for a lot of folk’s egos, but when the non-custodial parent is in the ER with your child and these coporation-run hospitals won’t make a move (for non-life threatening injuries) until they hear from the custodial parent it will make you rethink a few things.
BINGO!
Most cases are joint custody these days, with one or the other parent getting primary physical custody. In contested custody cases where abuse is alleged, fathers usually win custody, especially if they can afford to hire AAML attorneys like John Mayoue, who nearly always wins no matter what. I’ve seen him in action in a child abuse custody case in another county. He’s ruthless. Judges love him.
anytime an average everyday man want full custody its because he dont want to pay the woman child support! lol i know, my sister husband did his baby momma like that cuz he was paying child support for two kids before he married my sister! lol lol lol
Not true – most men that file for physical custody does so because the moms attempt to deny them access to their children., i.e., Dwayne Wade. Women become bitter when their exes began seeing other women and often do whatever is in their power to deny them their visitation and/or they begin to bad mouth the father to the children. Women don’t historically lose physical custody unless it can be proven that the best interest of the children cannot be achieved with her in charge. I think it stands to reason that Tameka was turning vindictive – especially after Usher began to date someone else.
As a parent I ONLY think Joint custody is fair. If a child gets sick or injured the SOLE PARENT only can make medical decisions and perhaps they are away or on tour as HE USUALLY IS. It is selfish to not want to share his children with their mother and brothers.
I wonder if Tameka already moved in her one bedroom appartment?
Usher is not bothered and god hates her. She is going to lose again;
She is just making a fool of herself.
She should give back to Usher his Saks card, sell her flopping stores, find a dick, find a job as a waitress and leave Usher and his boys alone.
BTW is she on suicide watch? Nobody wants her, even her long terms friends are testifying against her. I mean she doesn’t have friends no wonder she spends her day on twitter. Poor dat lets hope she is still alive as we speak
Your medication is ready at the Pharmacy. Don’t skip another dosage. Thanks in advance.
Lol
Seriously!! LOL!
@plastic
Wow that comment was filled with so much hate and vitriol.
What did Tameka do to you? You need to ask God for forgiveness for saying he hates Tameka, that was just wrong. YOu wouldn’t know God if he came knocking on your door.
And what did Usher do for you that you have such blind love for him? Usher wouldn’t know you if you came knocking on his door.
Poor Little Tink Tink have a _/
Another day, another new name. Darshelle…go take your meds!
God’s wanna-be representative, you are surely getting on my fucking nerves. How many times do you have to be booted from this site? Your polluted energy SURELY is an unwanted cancer here. If you put as much energy into your education as you do in being a complete BITCH you might amount to something. Thank you in reaffirming for me my wisdom in taking the pill all those years. Where is your mother?
Ok…..I bet her mother treated her like Precious that’s why she has so much hostility in her.
Grace?
Oh lawd the stalker is back! RayRay go away.
lol lol lol so true, i hope someone is with tameka right now, she might be slitting her wrist, cuz the broad is nuts! lol im really hoping and praying that she get herself together. for her to sit on the computer and say how women want usher and she had him, honey you dont have usher any more your ownself and the marriage didn’t even last. how you going to try and talk down on women who are ushers fans and like him , but you dont have him honey , you dont have a man at all. you are not better than anyone, you saw a come up in usher and you sucked his dick good enough for him to believe in you, but the dopamine wore off and he saw you for what you really were, a fame whore! you liked the fame and the gucci and prada, but when usher saw the make up come off and your stanky attitude and uppity attitude like you was better than folk and your insecurity, that’s why you almost died in another country for a tummy tuck, cuz you was insecure, ush didn’t care about your stomach being a lil big, but your head was too big…tameka…get some help, and having your son lost does not give a judge a right to just grant you custody of your other boys, thats a reason to really evaluate if you should have them or not in my opinion because your mental being and state of mind is not right right now, get your mind right and soul and t hen come back to reality and get joint custody, right now you are an evil, scorned woman that don’t know how to control your emotions and thats clearly not a good mother! im praying for your full mental recovery and state of mind!
People like you get on blogs speaking hella hate and judgement for Tameka and yet YOU say she’s crazy?
Please seek the a mental healthcare professional and get the help YOU need….
Right. It is the Usher stans that come after her…she just defend herself. IF they were TRUE fans they would’ve accepted the woman he chose as his life partner, not tear her down. I hope Grace don’t have any plans to marry him; she’ll become Tameka #2 real quick. Heaven help any non-famous woman who marries this man, cuz she won’t stand a chance against the Usher Raylettes.
first of all, i am nto against tameka at all, i think she is attractive, her boys all of them are gorgeous! what im saying is this-she need to get some mental help, she is just not in a good mental place right now, she need to sit on someone couch and chill, come back stronger than ever and get joint custody, but she has to respect the order, if usher want to knwo where his kdis are at all times when they are with her,she has to oblige, that is the order…bottom freakin line! i want to see her succeed and be a good mother, but she has to want it for herself! STOP TWEEITN TAMEKA! do you see beyonce tweeting?
Beyonce? That explains a lot.
Seriously God hates nobody and you need to get up in somebody’s church asap. I will never understand why these so called women want misfortune to happen to another woman. That woman loves her kids
and she will win and they will have both parents in their lives.
and Michelle you are digging her grave by claiming that she has joint custody with her Ex. It means that she is a gold digger collecting child support.
It also means then when her sons had this accident he was under her responsability.
Tameka and Ryan Glover are both unfit and shallow parents: Tameka was geeting drunk whuile her son was dying and Ryan was screwing Marsha insteead of taking care of him.
Those kids are better off without the cursed Tameka Foster/ Glover family.
Kuddos to Usher for protecting his kids, nobody wants his sons to end up like KILE
Please be guided by the old saying if u have nothing good to say dont open your mouth. I am sure if it were u at the age of 40 and usher asked u for ur hand in marriage, u would do all the surgery in the world to reflect the society’s mirror image and spit out 4 or even 5 kids to please him.
Big up TAMEKA for all u have accomplished continue to smile on the haters.
what has she accomplished? lol lol lol ABSOLUTELY NOTHING…she has had two divorces, taking chili man and then losing him herself along with custody of her boys…come again….lol i need to see a new resume please…lol
Usher has dated many women between Chilli and Tameka. Usher has dated many women between Chilli an Tameka. Usher has dated many women between Chilli and Tameka, and oh yeah, before I forget…Usher has dated many women between Chilli and Tameka.
Why don’t the stans know that?
i dont care who he dates, he can date whom he chooses, that is not the debate, the debate is-IS TAMEKA WORTHY OF JOINT CUSTODY? IF SHE DONT OBLIGE WITH THE ORDER TO LET USH KNOW ABOUT HIS KIDS EVERYDAY THEN NO SHE IS NOT WORTHY OF THE JOINT ORDER! SOME WOMEN WISH THEY HAD A MAN AS GOOD AS USH THAT WANTED TO TAKE FULL CUSTODY, HELL JUST TO TAKE CARE OF THE CHILD, HELLI GIVE HIM HELLA POINTS FOR BEING A FATHER AND WANTING FULL CUSTODY, SHE NEED TO RESPECT THIS MAN AND THE FACT THAT HE WANT TO KNOW AND BE INVOLVED…SHE IS A WOMAN SCORNED AND WOMEN SCORNED DO ANYTHING IN THEIR POWER EVEN USE KIDS AS PAWNS TO UPSET THE MAN..TRUST ME I SEE IT ALL THE TIME! IM GLAD USH STANDING FOR JUSTICE! TAMEKA COOPERATE OR DONT SEE YOUR KIDS ..BOTTOM LINE!
If you see it all the time, maybe you need to surround yourself with a new circle of people.
your quote:
i dont care who he dates, he can date whom he chooses, that is not the debate, the debate is-IS TAMEKA WORTHY OF JOINT CUSTODY?

Do you recall at all saying this?
YOUR quote:
taking chili man and then losing him herself along with custody of her boys…come again…
———————
Yeah, uh-huh.
Mary you do realize that neither one of them was following the agreement at one time. Why dont you do some research before making comments that arent even true.Legal court documents are posted all over the internet…find them!! He gets no points for wanting to take children from their mother when she has done nothing (that he hadnt done) to deserve it. Those kids need her just as much as they need him. No man deserves a gold star for taking care of their kids…that’s his job!!! I just hope he do a better job because so far I am not impressed with Usher…the man.
Ok, Delilah, we know it’s you. Your comments are like a broken record. You must be somewhere like a public library or school library, because I seriously doubt that you have this many computers to create new IP address information to create new login information after being blocked.
You have gone on and on about custody, and then when Michelle states that Tameka has joint custody you switch to calling her a gold digger.
Saying her son was under her responsibility when ALL media outlets have reported that he was on vacation with his father……..Chile if I knew your real name I would lay your name on the altar on Sunday. I’m serious.
@ALM you’re right… it’s her. And she’s been blocked for a 4th time. Let’s see how long it takes her to come back this time… it’s gotta be tiring by now.
How does she get internet service behind padded walls? I wonder how does she type.. with her toes? Clearly a straight jacket is a must.
@NewMeKnowYou- typing with her toes?? Lol, lol. I almost choked.
what i dont understand is how does water craft pulling two kids get hit by a a jet ski and no one could stop it. i mean why was ole boy jet ski so close to these children? someoen wasn’t paying close enough attention thats for sure!
Deliah, teamusher4life, rayray, is that you?
Yep, it’s you. Homework. Go get acquainted with it.
hmmm, why AINT all the MEDIA covering this new development?? This is good media right?…Ushers Lawyers and the Judge have some sort of …no have MAJOR relations.
TMZ where yall at with this DEVELOPMENT…huh? oh, yea Usher ppl aint called yall with the INSIDE scoop on this ish! everthing hush hush now….SMH
Side-eye..yea why Usher didnt take the DRUG test!…something to HIDE?
Nope PR Dept went home when this new broke. They only want to report things in Usher’s favor. Media, fans, women been manipulated for a long time.
Because they all know that this appeal is nothing more than smoke / mirrors. You can best believe that Ushers attorney has dotted all his I’s and crossed all his T’s for there is no way that he nor the judge would put their careers on the line for a custody battle – or 2000 dollars. Tameka’s attorney had their right of discovery but probably decided to keep it as an ace in the hole. There has to be compelling testimony against Tameka that swayed this judge as I don’t think Usher would have tried to delay the case after Kile death if he thought he had the battle won. Tameka pushed for the trial to continue – which I would have questioned as a judge myself as to her state of mind.
This is about to blow up. School started today,so I wont be able to comment often. Don’t worry Vay and stlchick,I’ll still be around! Like I said before,this case is better than a Lifetime movie.
I am cracking up at that pic of Usher crying lol…that all I got Sam lol
Good to hear Sam. Nowadays, voices of reason are few and far between. Hell, I’m so tired I decided I would take a break because SURELY this topic would slow down. My ass! lol.
Atlien, Usher has been letting Tameka stay in that house free for 3 years while he foots the bill. Why didn’t you report that? You are accusing Usher’s lawyers and the Judge of being biased when you’re doing the exact same thing. #Notgood!
Usher can actually ask her to reimburse him for that. She is trying to take advantage of him: Saks card, free mansion and child support.
Tameka is chasing money when she should think about Kile and why the man who killed him is still running the streets of Atlanta
Plastic, I’m truly curious: Can you walk and chew gum at the same time, or do you carry a piece of paper in your hand to guide you? Once again, if you can’t keep up with grown folk conversation, don’t try. Do you have ANY friends? It doesn’t seem like it, and it’s easy to understand why considering your venomous remarks.
"Can you walk and chew gum at the same time, or do you carry a piece of paper in your hand to guide you?"
OMG im DWL, my boss just looked at me like im crazy
@plasticsurgery
NO you didn’t come on here trying to down anybody and typed "responsability". Ima need you to take care of your personals before you go after anybody elses.
Sorry, my entire post is listed below…
@BeObjective – I guess he should have let Lil Usher & Cinco stay for free and charged Tameka and her other kids rent huh?
She has, Be Objective. Be objective.
I didnt read this post because I am really just tired of hearing about the "Raymond vs Raymond" and anything related to "Wassername" abuse. We all have our opinions on the matter, can we just agree to disagree and be civil?
LTS some can. You are clearly a fan who can express your opinion respectfully, and accept an opposing point of view without feeling like people are personally insulting or disrespecting you because they don’t agree. Not everyone can do that. A mature fan can; a deluded stan clearly cannot. If you notice, I mostly comment on Usher topics. Why? Because I am a fan (or at least was). Hell, I once drove 5 hrs to see this negro in concert. I bet some stans can’t even say that. But agree with Tameka about ONE little thing and the Usher Raylettes come running for blood. Rediculous!
I thought it was just me. Can we please get some other news…this is the only blog that keeps reporting on this everlasting story. Stop it lol
Atlien, Usher has been letting Tameka stay in that house free for 3 years while he foots the bill. Why don’t you report that? Stop trying to make Usher out to be some kind of Monster, because he’s not. I believe that he just wants what’s in the best interest for his kids. If a psychological evaluation stated that your ex had mental issues, would you really want him to have sole custody of your children? Really? You are accusing Usher’s lawyers and the Judge of being biased when you’re doing the exact same thing. #Notgood!
Since you posted twice… I’ll ask it again too – @BeObjective – I guess he should have let Lil Usher & Cinco stay for free and charged Tameka and her other kids rent huh?
BTW I own this site, so yes… I can be biased. You can go buy you a domain name and be biased too. Are you implying that Usher bought the court? *confused*
#applaudsATLien
please get that #beobjective child and throw some holy water on her/him.
I never thought I would see the day when people got angry about child support and a not yet ex-wife living in the home she shared with her husband and children. Dang.
I don’t need holy water, but maybe you do, since you can’t comprehend my previous post.
hey atlien, just because you OWN this site, it doesn’t give you a right to be biased, the best journalist are not biased but are able to put aside their friendships with others and speak the truth on both sides. if you want to make it to a wider audience like oprah did you going to have to leave your bias mentality behind and start reporting fairly. otherwise you will be stuck in the good ole "A" with Kandi and Rasheeda! LOL LOL LOL Now, i believe that the ex wife and children stay in the home IF tameka can afford it, usher should not have to foot the bill of that house alone. i know a lady where i work, her husband divorced her, his name was on the deed, he wanted to sell the house and have nothing to do with her or the house, she wanted the house, guess who had to pay for the house? SHE DID, so…she got off her lazy ass went to work to keep the house, bottom line! tameka need to do the same!~
God’s wanna be representative. Somebody give her a hug before staff makes her go to bed.
ATLien you are better than me because I would have been done a “medical minute “post or a “lets pray for the insane” post and aired this person out. I would have listed their emails and links to their face book page and/or twitter. So we can analyze and scrutinize him/her.
Lol. I was thinking the same thing but I want their family and friends to see it so someone can get these fools committed.
No, Tameka should have gotten her own place once that divorce was finalized.
What I’m trying to imply is that if Tameka knew that Usher could sell that home at anytime, why didn’t she get another place after that divorce was finalized. What I’m also saying is that he was not obligated to let anyone continue to live in that house, so give the man some credit because he did let her and all her kids stay there while he footed all the bills, I don’t think a (monster)would do that. Also, I know this is your site. Why you feel you should be biased because it is your site is puzzling, because a true journalist would post all the facts and let readers make up their own mind. I would be very interested to know what Tameka’s psychological evaluation revealed. Can you post that information for the public since you’re posting everything else.
Temeka’s psychological evaluation was fine, it was Usher’s psychological evaluation that was bad, so much so much so that his lawyers got the judge to agree to close the courtroom so the psychiatrist could testify without the public knowing why she (normally a father’s advocate), had recommended the children stay with their mother. Even the court appointed guardian of the children admitted under cross-examination that Tameka has a "loving" relationship with the children and they with her. So this judge went against the recommendation of the psychiatrist knowing that Usher’s psych evaluation was so bad that he doesn’t want it made public.
You sound dumb! Are you that stupid that you believe a mother and her children should be put out of THEIR home because a man left them? And so what he "foots the bill" he should! He also "foots the bill" for his then mistress/now girlfriend Grace to fly around with him. Your logic suggest she should reimburse him WHEN they break up. Think before you type.
So you’re telling me that you wouldn’t mind your husband letting his ex-wife stay in his house and paying all her household bills for 3 years. You’re better than me, because if they’re getting $8k in child support a month…I see no reason why they can’t bye their own place and pay their own bills. Maybe you should think before you type. I don’t mind you voicing your opinion HappyNappy, but there is no need for name calling. Are you an adolescent?
Be Objective may I remind you that the psy eval was not in favor of Usher as well which is why HIS Attorney requested that the media leave the courtroom before the results were given. Neither Tameka nor her Attorney had a problem with them staying. It’s perfectly fine for you to support who you like but you may want to get all the info on the person you are supporting…
Vay, If they both had adverse psych evaluations, then the judge had to make the decision of who would be the best caretaker with these evaluations taken into account. I just don’t believe a judge would remove primary custody from Tameka without a valid reason, and I don’t blame Usher for seeking custody of his children if he truly believed and if it was proven that she had some serious mental issues. Of course I don’t know him personally, but he has never came across as a vindictive person to me, so maybe he felts like he was doing what was best for his children.
Wrong. Temeka’s evaluation was fine and the court appointed psychiatrist (who is normally a father’s right advocate), ruled in Temeka’s favor as even this doctor being a father right’s advocate could not in good conscious rule in Usher’s favor. While Usher’s psych evaluation was so bad (Usher’s attorney’s had a copy of it), that they asked the judge to close the courtroom to all media and halt all recording devices (except for the court reporter) because Usher’s psych report was that damaging to him. Yet knowing all of that the judge still found for Usher and with the judge’s connections with Usher’s attorneys who raised nearly $25,000 for the judge’s re-election campaign, among other things, do you seriously believe this verdict was not bought and paid for?
You are a dumb ass! Usher left her so she should have to move out of the marital home??? He is fukkin rich, why would he take a home from his children and their mother?
I dont want to speak on the evaluation because I believe this whole case is fixed and a set up. Usher is going to feel awful in the end. He is trying to drag her through the mud. what an ass???? Her son, his stepson died wtf!
Seems you have that same mentality that Tameka has, maybe that’s why you’re being so supportive. No need for name calling, that’s one of the reason s why she’s in the mess she’s in. I just happen to believe that people should stop sponging off of others and be independent. I never said he had to throw her out the house, just acknowledge the fact that he was not obligated to let her live there.
its time for tameka to get a JOB and a REAL JOB! she should not be allowed to live off of ushers name, she supposedly got her own name, so use it and stop trying to take ushers money! man….get a life job and more babies tameka!!!!
Good for Tameka because no matter what her detractors say she has EVERY right to appeal this decision because there is definitely some improprieties that went on.
Usher and his lawyer knew of the connection just like Usher got that so called friend to testify against Tameka really shows his lack of morals to get custody at any cost rather than for the love for his children…
Both the lawyer and judge could be brought up on ethics charges….
Lawyers contribute to fundraisers of judges all the time. This is nothing new, as long as it is disclosed.
But according to the appeal, it was not. We’ll see what happens.
no, they could be brought up on ethics charges if the would have let crazy ass tameka keep them boys! she is clearly deranged! she on twitter but her son just died, she on this media outlet and that one, but again her son just died, she tweeting about usher new woman, but her son just died…it just doesnt make sense, she killed her own cred, stop tweeting and get some help, if i was a judge and someone showed me her tweets, id question her motive also…get some help tameka, i know plenty women like tameka that are fools and dont need them babies around her and the man is the better one to raise the child til the woman get herself together. every woman not a good mother and clearly tameka is one of them women that is not a good mother. period point blank!
Pot. Kettle. Black.
I think you are really Usher in drag.
Looks like they have all of their information together. Tameka and her lawyer are smart. They have some valid reservations about the case.
Not really because Tameka states that Usher told her before the verdict that there was a connection between his attorney and this judge. So instead of asking the judge to recuse herself they wait until the verdict and then want to cry foul. There is a thing called discovery and Tameka attorney ‘should’ have known to get as much information on the judge as possible before the case was presented. I think they hedged their bets that this judge (because of the relationship with Usher attorney) would not favor them in a judgment. I’m willing to bet that because of a previous relationship that this judge went above and beyond in ensuring that their judgment would pass an appeal process. In other words, there is something against Tameka’s character that justified this verdict.
Temeka’s psych evaluation was good and the court appointed psychiatrist favored her and recommended the children remain with their mother, that is a fact. On the other hand, Usher’s attorney, who had a copy of Usher’s psych report thought it so damaging to Usher’s case asked that the media and all recording devices (except the court reporter), be ejected from the courtroom while the psychiatrist gave her report on Usher. They did not close the courtroom for Temeka’s psych evaluation because she and her attorney did not request it and Temeka has nothing to hide. Let the court (this judge), explain to the appeals court why she ignored the psychiatrist’s recommendation that Temeka keep the children and that Usher not get the children particularly when Usher’s psych evaluation was so negative it had to be kept from the public?
….I’ll definitely keep reading Str8 from the "A"…..(kisses))
Let me add that THIS definitely sounds like something stank is in the water…if this is true & they can prove everything then it ain’t be good for Usher…if this is true, that is ALL the way fuxxxd up on Usher’s part (and his attorney)…i’ll wait & see how the story unfolds….I guess money really does talk….
GET EM TAMEKA— I DONT CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK– SHE HAS A RIGHT TO RAISE HER OWN KIDS—WHETHER HE HAS MONEY OR NOT–HE NEEDS TO STOP BEING SELFISH– HELL HE LEFT HER—SO LEAVE HER KIDS W/ HER AND PAY UP!!!!!OAN—I’M LOVING LISA WEST AND SHE WOULD DEFINATELY BE MY LAWYER OF CHOICE IN THE A!!!! A REAL LAWYER THAT DOES THE RIGHT THING AND KNOWS THE LAW—-THATS WHAT USHER GETS 4 BEING A BITCH AND CALLING TAMEKA HARRASSING HER W/ THAT BS!! SHE WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN HAD HE NOT TAUNTED HER!!
her lawyer aint #hit! where is ms. phaedra???? lol lol lol lol fake ass!
This is the normal process…no excitement here…
co-sign. it’s just like going to jail- everyone is a lawyer predicting outcomes….
lol keep it movin, nothing to see here folks! lol
@ATLien after all of this is said and done, can’t Tameka sue the state of Georgia or Fulton County for this? This action from the judge has cause her great heart ache, she has to now file for another case,causing her to have more legal fees etc.. The judge was prejudice against her because of her lack of money. I’m almost certain she could sue. What do you think?
first of all, why are you askign atlien anything? lol lol she is NOT a lawyer! lol type in the question and get your answer!!!! lol lol lol
First of all,I never said she was a lawyer? It was a question to the person who wrote the blog and also has the inside scoop. She was in the court room and she is also in or around atlanta where all of this is taking place.It would be wise to ask the person who is more handson with the case than I am,lives in the state where I do not,may not know all of the laws in Georgia,but I’m sure knows a few. With that being said, why wouldn’t I ask her? I’m trying to find the humor in the question?Mary, don’t worry about why I’m asking someone a question. What you should be worried about is,why are you so concerned with me asking someone a question?
LOL HAVE A NICE LABOR DAY WEEKEND, I KNOW I AM, FINNA FIRE UP THE GRILL RIGHT NOW! LOL PEACE AND TOODLES! LOL
In NYC a woman did just that, sued the state (and individuals they deemed responsible too), and she won by default because she named everyone the head judge, (who admitted that family court in NYC is corrupt (this in the NY Times), she sued the the trial judge, the attorney general, and I believe the governor too. Like this case the decision was clearly bought and the appeals court (due to the merits of her case and not wanting to be dragged into a civil suit unanimously reversed the trial court’s decision. In this case all the aforementioned people with such titles may indeed be liable if it’s true that Usher’s lawyer tries 83% of his cases before this particular judge and has never lost a case before her, ever. That looks like corruption to me.
This Whole Process Has Been A DISATER For TAMEKA…Where Is The PROOF That She Was/Is An Unfit Mother…$$$ Does Buy U What U Want Not Saying That, USHER Did or Didnt Pay The Courts Off B/C I Wasnt There…This Case Is Really SAD And Yes, The Case Was Under Way Prior 2 Little Kyle’s Death(RIPARADISE) But, DAMN USH; Have Some Sympathy For Goodness Sake!!!
Im sooo not an Usher fan. To take them boys away from their mother and they havent proven that she is an unfit parent is just wrong she is staying strong "Tameka" and I admire that b/c if it was me that whole situation would be not have turned out nicely you only have one mother a girlfriend money or step mama can never take the place of the lady who brought you in this world and for that judge to know she had just lost a child only to snatch two more from her is wrong beyond wrong but what goes around will come back around im a true believer of that example look at OJ simpson it took a min but his ass right where he need to be. I dont know much about Tameka except from what I read on this site and all I can say is GODBLESS you she is a strong Black women Usher need to sit on one of them Atlanta hot sticks and rotate on it
Well I will say this being a mother that has issues with my son father..If I were her taking into condsideration what she just had to go through with loosing a child I really wouldn’t have any strength…Maybe she should take a break I know she hate to leave Ush with him and his homewrecker but at the same time it’s bound to happen anyways..she need to pocket her $$$ and sit back..once he keep them boys a full month he probably gone be begging her to take them back full time..
I partly agree; I commend her strength/mental fortitude. She has been through a life-altering experience. She even tweeted that her world as she knew it ended in 2012. She really need to take time out to grieve. For some reason though, I think her forging ahead with this battle is a part of her grieving process…it’s serving as a distraction for her. As a woman, I can identify with a mother wanting to maintain her rights as she see fit. I just will continue to pray for her strength and mental fortitude, as well as the Usher Raylettes who insist on making this woman’s life a living hell after all this time. They’re divorced. What more do they f’ing want?
Geez.
@Stlchick I could have not said it better…so I wont even try!! lol As a person who knows her pain first hand she is doing the right thing.
No matter what, he will still be paying that $8,000 per month in child support, so everyone needs to stop with the gold digger mess.
They are going to abide by the original order. Trust me, I have LIVED through this debacle (actually still am).
As a MOTHER, you always want to ensure that you can make decisions about your child. She hasn’t lost them per se, however, she is definitely losing time with them. If she didn’t care, she would let it go and keep right on getting that check.
I knew someone was researching that and this is what I was waiting to hear. If this is true, I hope a full scale investigation is opened and that it doesn’t just end with this particular case. This is a prime example of why our entire "justice" system needs revamping. Meanwhile George Zimmerman got the judge in his case removed because the judge called him out on the lies he told at his bail hearing. Things that make you go hmmm.
I really dont have a whole lot to say about this case right now but for those of you that pray REGARDLESS to if you LIKE Tameka or not I encourage you to keep her and her boys lifted in prayer. These exact same hurtful lies that are being posted here are also being tweeted to her by the same person (more then likely). There is power in prayer and regardless to the outcome of this case no one deserves this kind of hatred being thrown at them from "something" with mental issues. Tameka is getting more and more respect from me because as easy as it is to find out someones location via the internet…ok nevermind…pray yall!
If she was a stylist for Usher then of course she would give custody to the non traveling stable parent. That is what a good parent does, think of their kids first.
In the divorce decree Usher (who was present to sign his own name) couldn’t have thought she was unfit because he agreed to joint custody. He raised no objections to this then so now all of a sudden he thinks she is unfit, crazy and unstable. That is just common sense to me.
So what she had a nanny, if I had stupid money I would too. So what she was depressed because her FRIEND slept with her man, any woman who thinks she has met the one would be too. So what she got mad and acted a fool and tried to knock said friend’s head off, I actually would have accomplished it and been in jail because of it. So what she goes off on people, most of the naysayers on here do the exact same thing as soon as somebody says BOO to them.
No mother who gets up in the morning to take the kids to school, fixes dinner, goes to doctor’s appointments, cares for her kids well or sick deserves to be drug through court because you “don’t like her.” Neither should another mom judge the other because we all have off days, weeks or maybe even months when we do stuff that if seen by others we would be asking the dad if we can see our child this weekend.
My feelings exactly. …and everytime I hear an Usher song, it reminds me of how much of a jacka** he is turning out to be.
he only agreed to joint custody because he wanted her in his life, after she showed him, that she was a nut case he had to take full custody! IDIOT!
Saida, amen to you & porcia.
If the lawyer was such a beast she would have WON and wouldn’t be filing a motion for a new trial! Instead of her sticking to the facts, she wanted to blast usher calling his testimonies a show and saying he was putting on another show for his fans/audience, BITCH stick to the facts you are a LAWYER….MOTION WILL BE DENIED..NEXT CASE PLEASE ..silly ho!
So I am guessing you are an Attorney that knows the facts of the case yourself. You must know Family Court law, huh?!! Its funny how everyone in the world lives with these people 24/7. They have heard every conversation they have ever had, they have witnessed every interaction that these two have ever had. Court is based on facts but lies enter that room also. And oh my god Usher D*ck riders, his songs have made him the Angel of God and he cant do no wrong. Last time I checked there were no perfect people on this planet, including R&B singers with fans who think he is just so wonderful. I wonder what all the women who think Usher is so perfect would do if they were in Tameka’s shoes. I know women who get less than that for child support who fight tooth and nail to keep the bitter men from damaging their kids any further. I take it since I see Bitch and Ho (Hoe) used in your comment you are on Usher’s payroll also.
Did he get the full custody he was seeking? Sounds like a win ro me. And failure doesnt always equal incompetence.
Team Usher
Wow- dirty politics and judges… hang in there Tameka- God will see you and your boys through this.
Ok so you want people to cry a river for a women who left her 1st set of kids to be with Usher… Ummm that screams bad parent… She didn’t fight for those kids so why is she fighting now… Umm oh yeah there father has millions… Girl Boo and Bye… The children loose in this case.
You must be saved, santified & without flaw? She had the same custody arrangement w/ Ryan, but the press wasnt concerned abt that because he’s not a star, as you pointed out.
She never left her kids…so technically your whole comment is pointless. Deal with the facts please…some of us live in reality.
Her first husband money is crazy long as well. He is a president of a TV network and has made investments that are paying off nicely. More money may have been her motivation but it was not like she was cashing welfare checks prior to Usher.
He IS a president. Was he president of the network when they divorced?
@Stlchick…I don’t think so…I remember hearing he is over Bounce TV & that network just starting airing a few months ago if I’m not mistaken…Ryan Glover, Andrew Young and some other Black "Who’s Who" started that network…I don’t know what he did B4 that though….
Atlien I applaud you for not insulting some of these ignorant people on here. Can ALL of you stop saying Tameka left her first husband to be with Usher until you hear it from Ryan and Tameka themselves, sheeze stop spreading gossip. And even if she did, people change and can be forgiven, people act on here like they are holier than thou its sooo annoying.
I will never understand how women can insult Tameka so much, she is a woman who truly loves her sons and wanted JOINT custody so Usher could also see them, so how does that make her evil you silly foools.. And for all saying she is a gold digger, erm I don’t recall Tamkea making the baby on her own,so any good father would not mind paying for his children, seriously some of you should really think before you type. And @BeObjective please invest in a life, to have sooo much hatred for someone you do not know is an ILLNESS. You are a very WICKED person inside and out to say the things you say and you should realllllllllllllllly pray for forgiveness because if you know anything about GOD, "those without sin should throw the first stone and since none of us are perfect STFU woman". You sound very silly insulting Tameka,Usher cannot hear you honey, so hating Tameka won’t improve your chances DUMBO.
Why doesn’t she go by Glover-Raymond since she was married to the other two boys father as well? Just a thought.
Because both the name Glover and Raymond can open doors that her maiden name Foster can not.
If you remarried would you carry you ex husbands name into your new marriage? Once she got divorced the 2nd time it would seem silly to back to your first husbands name after he remarried as well.
It’s funny how MANY women keep theirs ex’s last name when kids are involved and no one thinks twice about, but because he is famous everyone forgets that millions of regular women do it the time.
THANK YOU! GEEZ! She ain’t dropping it. Get over it already lol.
I say it with love, I say it with love.
Time for another Mimosa, please and thank you ; )
Signed,
Lit and Lovin’ it!
Why can’t they just agree to have equal share custody 6mos down the line.. I mean this is really getting tiresome in my opinion.
I agree, but apparently HE doesnt want to share the time with her. He filed this thing against her, she didn’t file this first. They had Joint custody and HE is fighting to change it.
this woman needs to take a break, pray and relax herself or she will go crazy, why is she fighting usher, only a blind person couldn’t see that these children belong with usher and his family.I hope she’s getting some therapy to help her deal with all that emotional drama and hatred she has in her heart. Mark my words usher will always come out as the conqueror no matter what decision is made, she need to accept that and move on. she trying to bring him down but it won’t happen. Usher for ever, respect him or get the fuck out.
only a blind person couldn’t see that these children belong with usher and his family.
—————————
What you type? I didn’t see it LMAO. I think I don’t need another Mimosa, after all lol.
Bad day at work, bad day at work.
DANG IT MICHELLE! When you said "explosive info" I thought you were going to say Usher had slept with the judge to. LMAO.
With his track record he is probably working on that next! lol
Has anyone noticed how TMZ has yet to report this but ALL negative stories about Tameka and Usher "winning" were reported immediately…
TMZ has much better things to do. Some of yall might follow there lead (hint…hint)
Concerned you commenting just like everyone else. You should find something better to do first then we might follow.
(hint hint).
I guess they got "bored" because they finally posted it…always claiming to be the one with "breaking news" lol
The owner of TMZ – Harvey Levin – is an attorney and he KNOWS that Tameka doesn’t have a snow-ball chance in hell to try and say that this case reeked of impropriety because there is no way this Judge (for a couple of thousands dollars) in this day and time of everything being so public would risk her career for a child custody case. There has to be evidence that will withstand an appeal for this type of judgment to be made. Whether ya’ll want to admit that or NOT you can be guaranteed that the appeal will fail and physical custody will remain with Usher.
….I’ll wait 2 C what happens..in the meantime I won’t Usher bash…sometimes women can get so emotional cause they feel "the woman is always right" & that’s not always the case…IF there was wrongdoing I hope it is found out & the judge and attorney gets what’s gonna come…if NOT then I hope this man is left ALONE 2 B with his children…only time will tell….I’m wondering, with all this new information, why her attorney didn’t "discover" something sooner….it’s kinda seems like they’re grasping 4 straws in an effort 2 retaliate for losing…but then again I don’t know….I don’t C Y it’s okay 4 the mother 2 have "parental control" but not the father…..
What judge would not ensure that the evidence was irrefutable against a grieving mother? There is no way this judge would risk her career unless that evidence presented was solid. All mothers are not what is in the best interest of their children – especially male children when their fathers want to be involved.
You silly little rabbits. Of course the Court is fully aware of "JOHN" & the "JUDGES" relationship – which does not matter. Do you really think TAMEKA FOSTER-BANKS-GLOVER-RAYMOND is smarter than the court and has dropped a bomb-shell. NOT! You reported yourself, that she has tried most of his high-profile cases…what are they suppose to do with "JOHN" and the "JUDGE" – not allow hime to try cases & not allow her to hear them. Silly Little Rabbits.
Regarding Usher taking a drug test, drug tests are ordered if there is a valid reason. By Tameka saying Usher is on drugs, that’s not valid. Hence, no drug test. Simple Math My Children – Simple Math.
BYE
Simple math?! Lol Crack is wack!
BYE. And mean it this time, Grace. That’s why you sharing your man with every Tomesina, Dickeshia and Harry!
Lovin’ my Mimosas! Don’t like it? Tough titty : )
@ Concerned: Wrong! When people are hired for jobs, companies can legally have them sign documentation consenting to random drug testing. They can test randomly.
In this scenario, there is video floating around of Usher acting disoriented, etc. on stage during a concert. That’s what prompted the request for a drug test. If Usher’s clean, then why not just take the test? Tameka took all of her requested tests.
Bye!!!
Fallin on deaf ears. Lawyers and judges have relationships all the time. She’s still gonna lose anyway. Lmao. She’ll have her goofy lookin ass in there talkin bout Usher took the kids out to eat with Grace n shit which has NOTHING to do with anything. From what I’ve heard, the judge had some pretty in depth info which aided her in makin the decision she made. Judges rarely overturn their rule anyway. She’ll stay losing as always.
Which is why people request new judges Lmao.
I have to agree that this judge had to have irrefutable evidence against this grieving mom because that fact alone would have brought questions to a case where custody was not granted. People are sympathetic but judges have to be unbiased which is why cases are given the right of appeal. Tameka will stay losing in this case as I can’t see any judge taking a grieving mom’s kids without unflappable evidence.
What happened to you being unbiased? I am not on Usher nor Tameka’s side. However, it’s very obvious whose side you’re on Michelle. Stanning much for Tameka?
Like NeNe told Michelle’s best friend Sheree – you on the wrong team Boo Boo.
I see at lien hasnt responded. Sometimes I think her and Sandra rose are the same miserable… Insecure jackasses that hate themselves to the point where they have to be so biased or ignorant. Nobody is saying just take usher side but to be a complete b abd act like your opinion is facts is just wrong. This site has gone downhill, #blogsarentthesame #missingthegoodblogs
I get really confused by post like this. Since when does insulting someone on their blog make you think that your point will be heard? If you dont like the content then hit the "X" in the top right corner and keep it moving. You people act like you pay to come here…get over it.
Geez…Do these Usher stans/fans love him so much.. thats why they HATE Tameka? Note to you crazy chicks…If it wasnt Tameka he married he was gon marry somebody and it wasnt GON be YOUR crazy ass.
and I thought Beyonce stans were CRAZY!

ok ive seen all the comments. how meka gonna pay her lawyer since usher aint paying for her to appeal. I dnt understand how everyone now hate Usher becuz he wants his kids, aint sayin meka is a bad mom but a bitter ex is the worst nightmare for a man who loves his kids and she was prob using em babies to make his life miserable. fighting his so-called girlfriend not wanting him to see his kids. Ppl hate her becuz she comes across bitter and hateful an childish cursing off fans on twitter n shit. she make it bad on herself, she comes across like a gold digging crazy bitch. Im glad he got his sons so she cant use dem to spite him, he loves those boys so why not boy need their father to raise them, woman cant raise boys to be men we try but they will alway need their father n i aint talkin about step dad there real dads. So all the Usher hater dig a ditch n bury ya’ll selves.
1. Usher has PRIMARY custody, not sole.
2. She doesn’t just go on a rant cursing out his fans…they curse her first! So if a person started cursing you on FB/twitter, you’d just ignore it? Not me.
your quote:
I dnt understand how everyone now hate Usher becuz he wants his kids
==============================
If people STILL believe this, I suggest you all read the thread again. I don’t recall anybody saying this is the reason. It’s not that cut and dry.
For me, it’s the private detective, the lack of comment about HIS stepson’s death, the decision to not drop the case (so he wanted to postpone it…big whoop. He didn’t want to risk the judge having symptathy due to Kile’s passing), and the taunting call IF it happened.
Y’ll wont change our minds, and vice versa. But at least READ the opposing view…might save everyone a post or two.
Co-sign everything except for the step son part. Part of me feels like people kept focusing on USher instead of tameka and Ryan that it was best he stay low key. Wish he would have been more supportive behind the scenes though.
Also as I said before he never went to court to get PRIMARY custody he wanted SOLE custody. To me there is a big difference between wanting to be more active in your children’s life and trying to take away the mother’s rights.
Oh and the fact that he got the Godmother to side with him
Usher not Ryan made sure Tameka was there for her son, in spite of the fact that she was media bashing him the whole time. And I don’t know about everyone else but when a child HAS A FATHER who is present in his life the step-father has no right to over-rule that relationship – especially when he is divorced from the mother. Usher did the RIGHT thing in backing off – especially since the father had the child at the time of the accident. It had to be tense moments of grieving going on that did not require Usher’s presence.
Cause and affect. She didn’t start "bashing him" until after her son’s death, and even then it was her telling the truth as she saw it. There’s no right or wrong, just a difference of opinion.
Other celebrities extended their condolences. Usher said nothing. His choice, but not even a "Please keep Kile, Tameka and Ryan in your prayers" ? Just sayin, facing.
Chile,please miss me with the BS,ok! This ho3 tweeted
as soon as the ruling was over.Who does that,except
a CRAY a$$ disfunctional Bish named Tameka.Furthermore,
Usher has been divorced for a long time so Kile isn’t or wasn’t
his damn stepson at the time of his death.So please stop
the Usher bashing because it ain’t on him.She created
this custody mess so she’s getting what the eff she deserves!
I’m so sick of y’all females taking up for this dragon faced heffah
but are the same bishes that sit around and praise Chris Brown & bash Rihanna even
after the MF almost killed that girl!Black females are pathetic and
I wish Usher would have married a white chick.So here’s the bottom line,
No responsible parent would have let their young child
into the same waters as MF jet skis while she was at Evelyn & OchoCinco’s
wedding,yeah,I heard the true tea on that heffah! And what
woman with any morals would want to keep the ex husbands last
name,if he cheated on her constantly.Open your eyes people because
it doesn’t take a whole lot of G.E.D to figure out that this chick is unstable
& a poor excuse for a mother.She needs major therapy before she tries to
hurt Usher or those kids because of her hatred.We see it all the time.
All yall phony asses need to fall back. Yall the same mofo’s who 2months ago was doggin Tameka out, now everybody reallying in her corner, Michelle included. I dont know who caught more flack… TOM-meka or Marlon.anybody that has ever ben married know that somethings will never be told. There r issues here, that we will never be told. I beloved those kids need both parents, and my heart goes out to Tameka in many ways,but Its boy a random ish that Usher is doing this. I pray for all of them,especially those babies.
I mean *not random
WTH is wrong with you? How many times do you have to get kicked out? You are crazier than that damn Darshelle. Hell, do you even realize you’re crazier than the Tameka you’re describing? If this ISN’T God’s representative, you certainly type like her and echo her words, which should scare the shit out of you. You think it’s not obvious that one narrow mind is behind these nasty posts?. Stop speaking the same rhetoric and then contradicting yourself trying to disguise who you are. Unlike you, WE don’t have issues; WE see you clearly.
Do you really think you’re proving your point saying things like:
phoney asses
This ho3
CRAY a$$ disfunctional Bish
this dragon faced heffah
but are the same bishes…
the MF almost killed that girl!
Black females are pathetic and
I wish Usher would have married a white chick.
yeah,I heard the true tea on that heffah!
this chick is unstable
& a poor excuse for a mother.
because it doesn’t take a whole lot of G.E.D to figure out
=================
What the FUCK is ‘a whole lot of G.E.D.’!? Clearly something your ass ain’t got. And what difference does it make WHERE she is when the fathers have custody!?! Too bad you’re not this white woman you wish Usher would have married, because you are an embarrassment to the color black; black women, black coffee, black magic…
No baby, you don’t have the last word with THIS bs…FOH.
Actually I would think it would be phony for people to clearly see that usher isn’t innocent in all of this as details come out and still stand behind him like he does no wrong. To me that”s phony.
I’ve never bashed tameka nor have I been a tameka fan. Actually I’m still not really a fan of hers personally. But as a MOTHER I definitely see she is being done wrong and sympathize with her. I was a MAJOR fan of his, but didn’t allow that to cloud my view as to the type of man he really is.
Sorry that was for @last word
Exactly Janet! You dont have to be a fan of anyone to know what is right. Tameka wasn’t found in contempt for anything that he had filed against her but he was…What people need to realize is this could very well be them in Tameka’s shoes and I am pretty sure they would handle it the same way she has…if not worse because some of these Usher fans are straight CRAZY!!!! The reality is he has been exposed for who he really is and they just cant handle that their perfect Usher…is just as flawed as the rest of the world.
People said the same thing about Susan Smith who actually got on TV and said a black man ‘stole’ her kids – all the while knowing they were at the bottom of a river. There are a lot of mothers out here who are not in the best interest of their children just because they gave birth does not make them a better parent. Usher is not blameless as he was told that a relationship with Tameka was not the best move for his career but you have to give him credit as he stood by her until it got to a point that he just could not justify her actions. Especially her need to tweet. I’m sorry but if I had the man I wouldn’t find it necessary to make a continually point of that fact to his fans.
Easy to say when you’re not the one being called ugly 20 times a minute. There are many unfit mothers, you are correct, so people shouldn’t assume it’s always in the child’s best interest to be with the mother. On the same token, fathers shouldn’t be held as a saint for handling their fatherly responsibilities just because so many other fools refuse to.
Once again, agree to disagree ; )
I think this whole situation is just plain sad and Tameka needs to just STOP. You fought the good fight, now let’s concentrate on healing and mending the relationship so that the two of you can CO-PARENT your sons.
While I am for neither team Tameka nor team Usher, I am on the side of being fair. You guys who are on here bashing Usher for wanting to have custody of his son make me want to puke! IT’S A DIVORCE PEOPLE! The children have to stay with one parent or the other! Point, blank, period! And when both parents are good parents, SOMEBODY is going to be on the losing end of the stick! That’s just how it is. It doesn’t mean that Tameka is a bad mother. It doesn’t mean that Usher is a bad father. To drag this out in the courts is just plain WRONG for the children.
Now if Usher were trying to prevent her from being in their son’s lives and blocking her access, she has EVERY RIGHT to fight! But that doesn’t appear to be the case. And speaking from EXPERIENCE, joint custody only works when BOTH parents are in a healthy frame of mind to focus solely on the welfare of the child(ren) and are committed to putting their differences aside and doing what’s best for the child.
When I saw that Tameka was fighting to maintain her Sak’s VIP card, I knew right then and there that joint custody was a NO-GO for them two! And requiring WRITTEN permission for each and every time you take the children out of Georgia. Nope…that was a DISASTER waiting to happen.
My advise? Tameka, maintain full throttle access to your sons and let it foolishness go. You’re only hurting the kids to keep this dragging on forever.
I honestly don’t think that I have read ANYONE on this matter bash Usher for wanting his boys…so save ya puke. The issues that I personally have with Usher is the fact that they had joint custody and THEY agreed to co-parent together which included but not limited to notifying each other when they traveled with the kids. Not only did the "agreement" no longer work for USHER he is the one that decided to take Tameka to court for full custody. As a mother myself I couldn’t imagine not being in my childs life EVERYDAY and yes I would fight if that means I have to sleep at the court building to not have my child taken away from me. You can’t just take kids from someone because you are tired of dealing with them…he needs to get over it! He is throwing a grown man tantrum and clearly money talks…it appears that most people involved in this case on Usher end were paid off…even the God mother who had just gone on vacation with Tameka… but testified against her on Ushers behalf. I have YET to see anything that proves this woman is unfit and deserved this. I have always been #Team Kids and will remain that way. I encourage you to find the court documents and read them for yourself. Also I don’t know why people keep harping on this Saks DISCOUNT card…it was a part of their original divorce decree and at one point they both thought it was important enough to be added in the court documents…I have no idea what” full throttle access” is but Tameka is probably fighting to keep that also. I would NEVER suggest for anyone to stop fighting for the right to be a parent to their kids unless there was evidence of abuse and or neglect and that is not the case on either end as far as I can see. Tameka jumped through ever hoop asked of her…can Usher PLEASE go somewhere and take a drug test?! Those results don’t have to be released to the public but I believe in the best interest of the kids he should…
AB, Great Post! Nice to see a perspective from someone who is not #TeamUsher or #TeamTameka.
The judge decided to continue with JOINT custody, with UsHER getting PRIMARY custody. However, UsHER was pursuing SOLE (or full) custody, which means no Tameka in the picture, ‘point blank period.’
Now if Usher were trying to prevent her from being in their son’s lives and blocking her access, she has EVERY RIGHT to fight!
^^^^^^^ Right! That would be the full custody he was seaking!
IMO, I feel Usher is more wrong than he is right. That’s just me. I do agree with you (and I think most do, no matter who’s "side" you’re on) that they both need to bring this back to the kids and stop battling with each other. After all, they decided to get married and not to exercise birth control. They conceived together, so they should coparent together, without the drama. And Tamekas is being no more of a bitch than UsHER is right now.

What ever happened to 50/50? Why can’t they both have it?
I think that only works when both parents put forth the effort to make it work.
Come on – do you really think that Usher’s attorney – knowing how vindictive Tamika is – did not provide her team with discovery of a less than 2,000 dollar donation? I think her team hid this fact from Tameka as a way of launching an appeal, because the Judge would have to believe that if she took 2 children away from an alleged ‘grieving’ Mom that her motives would be questioned. Which leads me to believe that some real compelling evidence had to have been presented against Tamika that will withstand an appeal process. I don’t think that you have to look further than the fact that she did not have custody of her older sons as well as statements made on her Twitter account for the answers. Believe me this judgment will STAND as it was obvious that Tamika was more concerned about her SAKS card than the death of her child or the rearing of the others.
Tameka had joint custody in both her divorces. Yep.
the comments are far more entertaining than the story. its the only reason i come to blog sites and youtube is to see the comments.
mzpatron,
I agree something is telling me that half of these comments are coming from Tameka and her camp. And the other half is coming from some lowly intern that Usher’s team has paid. Either way you slice it, it’s some sad and silly sh*t being played out in the media and the world of blogs
The actual case of custody has already been decided in a court of law by a judge. And if there is any hardcore evidence that there was bias on either side than it will be handled in a court of law.
At the end of the day fighting out in the court of public opinion doesn’t mean a hill of beans.
Man I SWORE that I was gonna let this go because I’m not one to usually get caught up in others lives especially celebrities. But I just watched tameka’s lawyer’s closing remarks on hiphop enquirer and all I can say is usher is a straight JACKAZZ!!
This is coming from someone who was in love with usher since I met him in person at 13 and he was 15, got a hug and autograph before he was really anybody. Couldn’t tell me nothing about him then.
For all the naysayers about atlien, I can see why she changed her opinion after being in the court room. I pray that tameka and her kids get through this as happy and healthily as possible.

Usher is a stupid mama’s boy who divorced his wife and left her with two kids. His money bought the trial. Now I guess he’s gonna have his girlfriend raise his kids. He’s on the road too damn much. I never liked his ass anyway. She’ll get her kids back.
Fight for your kids Tameka. You didn’t make them by yourself. There are people out here on your side and know you wasn’t a gold digger.
