I’ve been traveling abroad and by the time I find some free wifi to post this blog, there will probably be about 5 more motions filed in the vicious custody battle between Usher Raymond and his ex-wife Tameka Foster Raymond.
As you know, the two have been battling it out in a Fulton County Courtroom for months now and even with a “judgement” in the case, there is still no resolution.
[READ: Judge Rules in Usher's Favor in Custody Battle... *COURT DOCS*]
Tameka was vilified in and out of the court room the entire time with “mainstream” media making us believe she was making noise over the cancellation of a Sak’s credit card, when in actuality was a DISCOUNT card used for her business. Usher & his highly paid crisis management team made sure that it was TAMEKA who appeared to be the uncaring parent, even though she lost her 11 year old son through no fault of her own.
I wouldn’t put it past him to have paid trolls on blawgs leaving those scandalous comments y’all all complain to me about (but I digress).
This may be a long read… so go ahead and mentally prepare yourselves…
There have been no “shocking revelations” that Tameka was an unfit parent but there has been a major PR campaign designed to make Usher look like a saint (ie flying her back to tend to her dying son) and if you notice, during that time ALL press was focused on “Usher’s” stepson with fans sending HIM well wishes and prayers while they continued mocking a grieving mother with vicious written attacks.

And y’all wonder why I’m so “biased” about the situation? Hhmph!! Don’t even get me started about some of the things I’ve heard about Usher offering Tameka money for the kids as if they were toys that could be bought or sold… or that drug test that he flat out REFUSED to take! Anywhooo, I’m sure we can all agree… Usher is no saint either.

In comes the “questionable” relationship between the judge and Usher’s attorney.
The net was buzzing about the judges decision to rule in Usher’s favor, which was made after many explosive details were revealed (like him, and there was much speculation of justice having a price tag and Usher’s money being a major factor in the decision.
[READ: PROOF Usher's Attorney's Raised Money For Judge's Campaign *Court Docs*]
So as any good attorney would do, Lisa West, Tameka’s attorney filed a motion seeking a new trial that included documents and financial disclosures that revealed Usher’s attorney, John Mayoue and Judge Bensonetta Tipton-Lane (who ruled in the case) may have been a bit too closely connected for there to be a fair outcome.
Among the accusations in the motion, West says that Mayoue held fundraisers for Judge Tipton-Lane’s re-election campaign and raised over 40% 83% (EIGHTY THREE PERCENT!) of her total contributions. She also noted that all of Mayoue’s high-profile cases were tried in front of the judge.
[READ: Tameka's Attorney Files Motion for New Trial... ]
West wants Judge Bensonetta Tipton-Lane to step down and also filed a petition requesting that the judge recuse herself from further rulings on the case.
Usher’s attorney filed 60+ page response to the Motion, 40 of which included copies of the financial disclosures mentioned in Tameka’s motion for a new trial.
In his lengthy response, Mayoue admits no wrongdoing, and calls Tameka’s accusations “an assault on the integrity of the court.”
He also calls the Motion for recusal “baseless, unwarranted and untimely” but mentions that he omitted an affidavit that he should have filed at the start of the custody battle that would have disclosed his financial relationship with the judge.
There’s way too much going on in this case!
[Sidebar: Here's a lil tidbit that you probably didn't know. A lil birdie told me that on the day Usher was supposed to take possession of his two sons, he wasn't even in the country!
Dude was in London performing on September 1st, which was the date Judge Lane ordered in her judgement but I'm sure it's all Tameka's fault that the kids didn't fit into his performance schedule... again, I digress.]
This case could probably go on FOREVER but one thing should be clear. Tameka is a mother who will fight for her kids no matter what.
With all the naysayers going on on Tameka, have you ever wondered why her ex-husband Ryan never hit the stand to say anything negative about her mothering?
To be continued… (and to think, Usher & Tameka’s sons are young! These two still have about 13 or 14 more years to deal with each other. *sigh*)

I agree, I think the Judge got made over a blog post about a call from Usher to Tameka saying that he had the Judge in his back pocket. Tameka can not control the blogs. They post whatever they want to post. So, I think the Judge got made at her and decided against her keeping the kids. That’s bull, but, come on Tameka. What are you asking for more money, and a multi million dollar house, and your Saks card back. You should have been talking abou the kids, not all this monetary stuff. You and Usher were only married a few years. YOU DO NOT DESERVE 1/2 OF WHAT HE HAS WORKED HARD TO BUILD UP OVER THE LAST 20+. You should have kept it about who was the better parent for the kids…not add in the Saks card, more money, a multi million dollar house. Girl come on now. You slept on the fact that no judge in the world takes away a child from a "fit" mother. This one did. It’s sad because he can not parent better than Tameka, he is way too busy and the kids will be raised by Nannies and Girlfriends. But, Tameka kinda did the same. Too many Nannies and friends caring for the kids.
Chile please, Usher is worth about $200 milli I read, he is one of the highest paid R&B singers, so a house and Saks card is NOTHING for his ex wife and kids mother. I’m shocked that he hasnt bought her a house, truck and some mo’ ish. She does have his ONLY 2 sons!!?? Right? Plus they were married and where should they live in an apartment while he flies jets all over the world? A house is basic mandatory stuff. Kelsey Grammar is paying his ex like $30 million. now thats gwap!! Ursha know he puttin this woman thru the ringer, at this point he need to be paying. This is ridiculous and her son just passed, God is going to make Ursha ass pay for this nasty behavior and the bridesmaids smashing too. SMH
I don’t understand why the women seem 2 feel that he is supposed 2 support her lifestyle…his ONLY responsibility is 2 his children…she is his EX wife, which means she no longer has unlimited access 2 his money & resources….she was married B4 & had a "career" B4 him….he owes her child support of course, & maybe some spousal support but nothing more…let her other EX husband buy her a car or house cause she had 2 kids by him too right??…Usher may marry again & have more children in the future so it doesn’t matter that they’re his ONLY son’s right now…I like "Str8 from the A" but am going 2 follow this particular story on a more balanced site, less biased site….& the last time I checked a SINGLE man can sleep with whomever he chooses…choosing the bridesmaid was trifling, but they’re 2 SINGLE adults….& I still don’t understand why it’s ok 4 the mother 2 have "Parental Control" but not the father in this situation…..just b/c he has $$$ doesn’t mean she’s entitled 2 have unlimited access to it….a lotta ya’ll not gonna like this but it’s just my opinion….
He simply has to keep to WHATEVER agreement he made during the divorce. He’s foul otherwise. I don’t see where she asking for unlimited access to anything or resources abundantly, but why not if so??? He has no other wife, kids, just a gf and his mama, who I know if rooting for tamika to fail. His mama was crazy jealous when he married her. That is why I heard they broke up in the first place. That mama is a mess. She worse than Queen Mama Dee, at least she allows Scrappy to have a woman and be happy. Usher mama lonely and envious type, I wonder if she like the new girlfriend that took her job Gracie.
Usher is being vindictive and mean, but why? Thats the 6 million dollar question. Usher in love still …. Chris Brown is in love still … Chad Ocho is in love still.. This is a popcorn worthy story, caint wait to see how this will go. I hope she gets her kids back from him, he aint right.
Lady A, they were NOT single when he was bumpin’ uglies with the bridesaid. He was very much MARRIED. And even if he had been single it wouldn’t have made it much better. Plz.
I agree she’s not entitled to his money and everything else he can provide just because she has his sons. As long as he’s taking care of his children that is all that matters. FYI Barb Usher is not worth $200 Million the last I check he was only worth $40 Million and it doesn’t matter if he has a billion she’s not entitled to it.
Correction he’s actually worth $110 million and she’s still not entitled to it. In my opinion Tameka seems to be more interested in material things then she is her children. My opinion is based on the things she posts and the photos she post. She brags a little too mcuh for a person that is pretty much living off of baby daddy money. My Usher is tired of being the money train. No Usher is not perfect and I do beleive he’s to blame for some of the things with them because quite honetly I beleive he can be an ass. However, that still does not mean he’s not the better parent and maybe his lfiestyle is too busy but Tameka’s is nowhere near as busy as he is and she still leaves the children to be attended to by nannies and other people. Therefore, I beleive the judge made her decision based on the facts and not any connection to Usher’s lawyer because one she had to know this would come out.
Plus Ryan had custody of his boys so that says alot about the type of parent Tameka is, that’s just my opinion. I hope they eventually work this out peacefully because at the end of the day the people that will suffer the most is the children and neither of them seem to be thinking about this. No one truly knows what is really goign on but them but I truly beleive Usher wants his sons because he loves them and also he’s tired of dealing with her and he just wants her out of his life. The reality is that regardless of him having custody he will never have her out of his life, she’s their mother. He should have though about that before I decided to have kids with her.
I know there are alot of typos and misspellings in my last post but hey is 1:30 in the morning and I’m half sleep.
@Tangi…Usher is not yours boo…I think that is probably part of folks problem they think they in relationship with Usher! lol Also Tameka has joint custody of ALL of her kids…the ones with Ryan and the ones with Usher and yes she is "entitled’ to BOTH of thier money to help support her kids..this entitlement took place when they fertilized her egg and created life. Like it or not I dont think the court would agree with you.
@Tangi…Well said…I think a false sense of entitlement + being the "baby mama" of a wealthy man + gold-digging tendencies + being a women scorned = HELL 2 PAY 4 whatever man is on the other side of the equation…& that’s exactly what this situation seems like…..no matter how the pie is sliced, with women it mainly seems 2 boil down 2 the $$$…
@Vay…Entitlement means a guarantee of access 2 benefits based on some sort of previous set forth rule or law….children DONOT make a women entitled to a man’s money….the CHILDREN are entitled 2 the $$…
….why do women think she should have "blank checks" 2 use at her disposal…..the man should do what’s fair but the buck must stop somewhere…literally……
Chile boo!! You must be one of those side chicks that encourages her man not to take care of his responsibilities!! #losing
@Lady A ok…I stand by my comment.
"yes she is "entitled’ to BOTH of thier money to help support her kids..this entitlement took place when they fertilized her egg and created life"
The set forth rule or LAW is called child support which is paid to the mother in this case for the children. Yes she is entitled to receive it for her kids and yes she is entitled to request an increase if he has an increase in income…the needs of kids change daily. Didnt you say at one time that you were a custodial parent…well in MY opinion YOU are entitled to receive financial support to aid in taking care of your child.
@ Vay…we can agree 2 disagree cause obviously that all we can do….I don’t need anyone 2 tell me what I am & aren’t entitled 2 because I’m well aware of my rights but thanks for the unrequested advice anyway…Personally I don’t have problems like these…a lot of women wish they had a man in their life like my son’s father…I couldn’t ask 4 anyone better & actually wish all women had a REAL man in their lives that handled their business with no problems……All I can say is I feel sorry 4 these men who have babies with gold digging, spiteful women with false senses of entitlement 2 his $$$….20 years is a long time 2 have 2 wait 2 get someone out of your life….the lesson learned from this is that people should be very selective about who they choose 2 breed with….Usher planted his seed in "Rotten" soil & now he’s gotta deal with the outcome of that….all in all probably never have married that woman…he’s needs someone closer 2 his age anyway….I stand by my comment: HELL hath no fury like a woman scorned & she’s gonna do everything in her power 2 "make him pay"….literally…..like I said, with women it ALL boils down 2 the $$$….it’s called gold digging…..
Usher don’t like women his age. I think that’s the problem most of his stans have…they know that although he’ll probably bed them (I hear it’s harder stepping on a NYC street crack than to get him in the sack), he’ll never date a women seriously if she doesn’t have at least 7 years on him.
@ Lady A…ummmmmmmm ok. lol
Okay so Usher now has custody, does that mean that Tameka should pay usher what usher was paying her?
I agree!!
@Barb
Preach! This is the difference between white men and black men, sorry to say. Ninjas be cheap as hell. Usher should have given Tameka a nice settlement, split the custody 50/50 and called it a day. Whatever he give Tameka he can get back in 2 songs and a video! Kelsey Grammar been married like 3-4 times and he’s not sweating nickles over none of them because he knows what he pays out he can recoup in no time.
@ Free Kroy: People amaze me. You are on here saying what Tameka does and does not deserve. Tameka was Usher’s WIFE, not just some random chick.
The amazing thing is, Linda Evangelista has been in court for months fighting Salma Hayek’s husband for child support, and a lot of the comments have been completely supportive.
1. Evangelista was NEVER even his wife. It even sounds like she wasn’t even his girlfriend. It’s as if they just had sex a few times.
2. Evangelista was with Hayek’s husband during a time when they were supposedly separated, but the time frames are very close together with her pregnancy and Salma Hayek’s pregnancy, etc.
I am amazed that Evangelista gets the type of support she gets, yet Tameka gets roasted for even THINKING about fighting for her children in court.
@ALM. I don’t know who these people are you are talking about. And don’t have time to google it. But back to Tameka and Usher. What she wanted in the divorce settlement should have been addressed then. This man is trying to take your kids. He focus should have been attacking his parenting and life style. You got to get in fighting mode when someone is messing with your kids. She should have left all the other stuff for later. It made her look greedy…period. She you have this powerful man trying to bring you down. You gotta get into attack mode and defend your self…leave the money and saks cards behind, I don’t care how small it is compared to his wealth. He brought this case against you to take your kids. It don’t get no deeper than that. Plus the Judge is in his pocket. They should have been all over this at the start of the trial. 85% of the re election funds??? Girl, you got to get into fight mode. Take your earrings off, put on you sneakers, snatch off your wig, grease up your face, and get ready to FIGHT this mofo. He came out swinging and won. No one wants to hear about how much more your money you wnat, they want to hear about this mofo being a pill popping, unstable, abusive, bastard. Not, he canceled my Saks card (but, still pays me $40,000 in child support and lets me live in his million dollar home with all my kids and family rent free for the next 15 years). Yes, he should but, that makes him look good not bad. When they messing with your kids, you got to drag them through the mud just like they are doing you. I know she knows some stuff about Usher that she did not want to expose. He did not give a shit about her and exposed everything and drug her through the mud. If she gets another chance, she got to take the mofo down. He is not playing with her. It ain’t no play fight nor slap boxing. This is a FIGHT FOR YOUR KIDS. Don’t bring up no money, $40,000 a month is enough. Just bring up how bad his parenting is. As the video says, no one talked about Usher’s parenting at all. Bring him down..leave the $$$$ out of it.
That’s not how the court of law work @Free Kroy. ALL the things from the kids to the saks card were in the original divorce decree you can’t seperate them…so while WE may think that she should have not mentioned them some of us think that it was smart as she was building a case based on an original document that they had both agreed upon and he went against the legal agreement. Understand that she still has join custody of her boys so they werent taken away…she just want her rights back to make decisions as well as to medical, school etc.
I’m telling you they had to attach ALL of the issues of the agreement. You can’t simply pick and choose. It’s all or nothing….. a deal is a deal, he promised to keep the Saks car open so, if he promised her a house or ANY thing it had to be addressed in court at the same damn time. Where are you getting $40,000 a month???? I read she gets $4k a month. I know this aint truth in Atlanta, no way.
Usher is acting like an ass! He is treating his wife like crap. Yes, I said WIFE because in my culture once married a man never loses his wife unless by death. Divorce is man made and marriage is of God. Death is the only thing or if he marries another woman. I don’t think he had married the manager chick has he? This man has issues and needs Jesus, Allah, Jah, some intervention. He is behaving like a real jackass right now.
You guys are saying that all the issues had to come together. PLEASE GO AND READ THE JUDGE’S RESPONSE TO THE REQUEST FOR RETRIAL. She had a huge issue that Tameka wanted more money, post divorce and wants Usher to buy her a multi million dollare house. These are new things that were added to this court case. The only thing that is old is the Saks card. That is the only thing that was agreed to in the original divorce settlement that she did not mantain. However, she did not have to bring up the card. You can say I don’t want the card, I just want my kids. I have been throught this, the lawyers are allowed to negotiate before you even go in front of the judge. My son’s father wanted more visitation time because of his work schedule and took me to court. My lawyer ate his ass up cuz we went in fighting. He was talking about reducing his child support while we were discussing getting more time with my son (he already had 3 days a week). It really made him look like he did not want to take care of his child financially. Especially when I produced all the records of everything that I provided for my son and he had nothing. So, I let my lawyer know, I don’t need the money, we can reduce it if he likes, hell, we can stop it, I just know that I have my son’s best interest. That is not normal, but, the judge look at our financial and said that either of us are financially stable enought to take care of our son on our own. The court recorded my statement so that I could not come back and get more child support after I said I would accept a reduced amount, kept the visitation as they were and told us to go on our way and try to get along better. PERIOD. Tameka could have told her lawyers that she was ok with the finances…just fight for her kids.
The JUDGE did not respond to anything…nor would it be her place to respond. Usher’s ATTORNEY is the one that made the response and do you really expect it to be a favorable response?!Legally no judge can respond to a motion filed against them. This is a court of law we are talking about… So now that we have cleared that up…I don’t trust anything that USHER’S attorney tries to throw out there because his job is to win by any means necessary. I find Usher and his team to be very dirty and their focus is on winning and NOT the kid’s best interest. What Attorney in their right mind would even take a case knowing the kids would spend the majority of their time with a nanny if it was ruled in their favor. One that see dollar signs, one that told Usher he had it in the bag, one that is probably pissed that while they didn’t “lose” they surely didn’t get what they asked for…OR did they ask for Full Custody knowing that Primary would be the ultimate ruling.hmmmmmm Anyway…I laugh when I hear people say Usher don’t owe her anything because they aren’t married. Ummmm that is so far from the truth…I believe that she asked for an increase in child support…if his income has increased she has every right to request it just like you stated your child’s father wanted a decrease. Child support (as you know) is based on both parents combined income so the fact that he CAN afford to pay more because his earning has increased does not make her a bad mother or gold digger in the least. It makes her smart to want to do the best for her kids. Period. He will be tied to this woman financially until these boys are of legal age to take care of themselves so he might as well just suck it up and deal with it. I believe we look at this from our reality but I am pretty sure had your child’s father been Usher you surely wouldn’t have been saying you don’t want the money…our kids deserve the best life that they can possibly have and if one parent can provide that financially more so than the other sobeit.
While I don’t agree with how YOU stated YOU wanted to handle your childs father in court I respect the fact that it is your life, I don’t know you and that is your child and you can very well do what you please…I think we ALL need to realize that about Tameka…her life, we don’t know her (twitter don’t count lol), those are her kids and since she was NOT found to be an unfit mother we can save our judgments because we are not the ones living her life. I am sure she may be kicking her self in the butt for dealing with Usher…just makes you wonder though…if she is THAT bad why is it that her EX HUSBAND has never had anything negative to say about her…only the "man" known as Usher! lol
AND where did you get that he pays 40,000 a month in child support…Free Kroy you need to check your source because someone is playing you with all these made up stories…I think he pays closer to 4000.00 a month and pays for the nannys.
Ok According to her Attorney she gets 4000.00 per month per child and was asking for an increase in 1500.00 a month do to the fact that due to Usher’s schedule he is gone the majority of the time so the kids are with her. So the increase of 1500.00 that she was asking was to cover some of the increase in expenses that she has for the kids.
Tameka also included her Saks card, nanny charges, her attorney fees and asked that Usher not have overnight guest when the kids are present.
@ALM
It’s becuase Tameka is BLACK! Black folk love to hate on other black folk especially women. Had Tameka been some red bone with hair all down her back, people would not be so mean-spirited in their comments. I give her some props because she was his WIFE and the mother of his ONLY CHILDREN and Usher was no saint himself. He just did her wrong all the way so why shouldn’t he pay?
Your last couple of lines is the MAIN REASON Tameka lost custody. She and ATLien can scream as loud as they want about a biased Judge but that woman would NOT put her career on the line UNLESS she knew her decision would pass and appeal. There is MORE to this story than the media is grasping as NO FIT MOTHER loses her kids. Atlien is not speaking on the fact that Ryan Glover had custody of his 2 sons with Tameka and that she didn’t raise her eldest son either. Tameka has 5 CHILDREN – none of which she reared. Regardless of why the judge made the decision is was made and regardless of what ATLien and Tameka want us to believe Tameka did come off as caring more about her SAKS (discount card or not) than her children – both living and dead.
She raised her oldest son (according to her sister) AND she has joint custody with Ryan just like she has with Usher. I am not sure why it’s easier to believe that thi woman doesnt love or parent her kids when nothing has proven that.
Usher is full of BULL&%ISH–period! That NINJA is pullin all kinds of **ish with his stardom, while making Tameka look like the bad guy. Listen, just because she used nannies for her children does not make her a bad mother. Most stars, politicians, professional with busy lifestyles and businesses to run do that, okay? STOP making Usher out like he is being mistreated, ’cause he is not. I’m done with Usher’s azzzz! TEAM TAMEKA, here!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t feel sorry for Tameka at all regarding this issue.
The only reason I do not feel sorry for her is because she does not have custody of her other children. If she had custody then this fight would make since, thats why I believe she lost. Also I havent been a friend to this site very long; however I thought Michelle couldnt stand Tameka.
She has joint custody of her other kids just like she has with Usher kids. Stop believing all the lies. So I guess you can feel Sorry for her now. Lol
Yes, she had joint custody but just like in this case she did not have physical custody. There in lies the difference. What mother loses physical custody in a joint agreement? Tameka doesn’t have physical custody of ANY of her children and she has 5!
faceingreality she HAS joint custody currently with ALL her kids except the oldest-he is grown…please go look up what that means…the kids spend equal amounts of time with each parent. This will only vary when the kids are in school. Usher was awarded PRIMARY Custody which means he make the decisions on school, medical etc but actually she has always allowed him to have that role. SO she didnt lose custody! Fact check before bashing.
Her previous or current opinion about Tameka really doesn’t have anything to do with this thread. If she feels Usher is wrong in this instance and Tameka is right, that is her opinion and she has the freedom to say it. That doesn’t mean she hates Usher or that she and Tameka will have play dates to go skipping in a field of lillies hand in hand…it means she’s not being blinded by the machine. Feeling one way about a person in general, but being objective or even sympathetic doesn’t make you a hypocrite, it makes you a)human, b)mature. I never cared too much for Tameka before, based on what I’ve read/heard. But I do know that from what I’ve read/heard ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC (not the past), I feel Usher is wrong.
Usher is being a father – something more black men (enter Dwayne Wade) should be. I remember when Dwayne Wade went after his sons I called him all kinds of ungrateful as his wife had been there long before he made it big. But as time passed, who in their right mind doesn’t believe NOW that his ex-wife has issues and actually does pose a threat to their sons?
face this reality: THEY picked ‘em. Usher has always been a father, now he’s being an asshole. Not because he went after sole custody, but he simply did so to avoid having to abide by a frickin’ schedule. Man tantrum. He could’ve made a whole lot of decisions differently, the very 1st being not marrying or procreating with this woman. Clearly he doesn’t know how to make good decisions when left to his own devices.
@sassy
you should feel sorry for her because that same mess could happen to you if you had kids with a man. Courts in the south are no joke. They go hard against women period!
A mother should fight for her children as long as she’s fighting for a purpose and not vengeance that goes the same with a father..at this point I don’t know who is right or wrong..what I do KNOW is these babies will suffer behind it
I agree, but if he started this custody trial he is wrong in the 1st place. They had joint visits with the kids, why he think he supposed to have them all the time? He prob got mad cos she wasn’t feeling them going all over the place on the roads and he know kids that little bity should not be flying everywhere like that.
Ursha be all over Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris I seen pictures of Usher everywhere so I would be mad too. He just got money so he wants his kids, not her fault but he’s wrong to try to make her look bad for that. He is just not man type guy, real men don’t do this mean ish to they kids moms unless they crackheads or in jail. He married her now she so bad???? Them boys prolly love they mama, Ursha is wrong this go round.
Tameka was blocking his visitation and / or making the transfer of the children unhealthy with her wanting to fight and argue all the time. Plus the woman stayed on Twitter bashing her children’s father. I don’t have to like my children’s father to respect the fact that he is their father and I chose him. As such, people need to remember that in this day and age of the Internet – everything is there for eternity. Tameka is reckless!
They both are reckless…you better believe that for everything that she did to him he did something back to her in return. I’ve followed her on twitter for a while and never saw these bashing tweets that included his name…
And you can’t get more reckless than fucking a bridesmaid, let alone screwing everything with an indentation between the thighs (and if y’all can keep throwing up her twitter attacks, I can keep throwing up his dirty d*ck ways). As far as Dwayne Wade’s funky ass, I’m sure his conduct had a lot to do with the conduct of his baby mama’s, and I’m sure the same could be said of Usher/Tameka. Plus, those narrow minded stans have been brutal in their attack of her. I follow her on Twitter as well, and I’ve read the shit. It’s sad that so few black men care for their children that we think it’s exceptional when some actually do.
HOW DO YOU KNOW??????????? TAMEKA WAS BLOCKING VISITS? ARE YOU THE NANNY, HIS MOTHER OR USHER? OLD GIRLFRIEND? TRANSFER OF CHILDREN? HMMMM THIS MUST BE HIS ‘BENJAMIN BUTTONS’ LOOKING LAWYER.
THESE COMMENTS ARE SO OBVIOUS AND BLATANT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN HER EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE KNOWING HIM ON TWITTER, MUCH LESS BASH OR BE RECKLESS, PLEASE SEND DATA. TEAM USHER, GOTS TO BE MO’ CAREFUL
Girl, no you didn’t say Benjamin Buttons! LMAO.
Well what kind of lawyer does meka have to have not done her research before the trial started. You may want to claim usher made this a circus but everything we know about the case is because meka put it on twitter ans blogs copied and pasted it, just like tjey copied and pasted things from Usher page. Regardless of what is going on with meka usher life don’t stop and neither does anyone else’s.
@ Really?: Tameka’s lawyer is a SMART lawyer. She didn’t show the cards in her hand until it was time. If she had brought up all of this information during the original court case, it would have been dismissed. She needed this information to start the appeal process.
She can’t be TOO SMART because what appeal judge is going to reverse that judges decision. Most judges are in bed with each other. Plus do you REALLY think a judge in such a high-profile case – knowing Tameka is the twitter queen is going to make a decision that is not appeal proof? This judge had to have some compelling evidence against Tameka to make this ruling. Especially after the woman had just buried her son. This judge would not RISK her career on this w/o solid evidence. What that evidence is has yet to be published but you can bet it exists.
According to the court documents Tameka is supposed to have the kids the first weekend of the month. Maybe that’s why he was able to perform out of the
country. Secondly, according to Usher’s lawyers response one of Tameka’s lawyers law firm also made contributions to the judge’s campaign. Lastly, if the Saks card is for her business why does she need it in Usher name. Discount card or not. They are no longer married. She should be depending on her own resources. In the end, Usher went to court to gain full custody of their kids. Tameka responded by trying to keep a Saks card in her ex’s name, get an increase in the money she is currently receiving & wanted Usher to purchase her a multi million dollar house. Do you really have to question why the judge decided how she did? I think not.
AMEN!!!!!!
Those were things Usher probably agreed to do and was found in Contempt for. Thats how divorce stuff goes in court, they deal with all the issues at once. the press is just running with the money parts to make her look a certain way. Its all apart of his FAILED AGREEMENTS I’m sure, which is why she found him in "contempt". Google Contempt. They are railroading her and making her look money hungry, to deflect him not keeping his end of the deals. The custody stuff all goes with the entire agreement. I know this law ish well. Usher need to leave her alone, he must still be Jonesin’ for her, my brother did the same thing and now is back with his b.m after they fought for 3 years. He’s looking like a boy in love to me, cos this whole thing don’t make no sense at all.
You said divorce, not custody. This is a custody battle, what does this have to do with the kids??? I kept asking myself when would that even be brought up in this case. Why wasn’t there a separate filing for those things involved in the DIVORCE????
The initial agreement involving the KIDS was a part of the divorce decree NOT a total seperate issue. Clearly some of you have never been married or divorced.lol EVERYTHING that they have been dealing with including the Saks card AND kids would ALL be discussed because it’s all under one agreement.There would have been no other time to bring it up since it all goes together and as I have said before…everything that they had going on Saks card…joint custody etc at one Point both Usher and Tameka had agreed to. You cant just stop doing something that you legally agreed to, which is why he was found in contempt for some of those things.
The Saks card was in their divorce settlement, & Usher had it stopped on purpose. That’s why the judge ordered him to give her another one. FUCK USHER
If it was in the Divorce settlement, then he is being spiteful if he cancelled it during the CHILD custody case. Just like people are saying shes wrong for filing contempt, the man is more wrong for cancelling it, that shows that he is being S P I T E F U L. This whole case is about them and not the kids. Usher should not have started this and he knows his kids will someday hear about it. Not a wise fellow I see.
I was right, needs intervention.
Accroding to the NEW court documents she was suppose to have the kids but since she filed, the new ruling has not taken affect and they are still operating under the previous court order so it could very well be true that he was suppose to have the kids…maybe his nanny needed the day off. lol
Also Tameka responded by filing for Primary custody of her kids…why do people try to make it seem like she filed for everything else but the kids…I do remember reading about her wanting and increase in child support and if his earning has increased then he SHOULD have to pay more but until I see LEGAL documents about asking for a house I will just write it off as another lie from Usher and his Team and yes I do question the Judge and why she ruled the way she did when the mother was not found to be unfit…
Sorry that was @Nicki G
@Vay Lol I thought you might have been responding to me but I wasn’t sure. Concerning the weekend primary custody was suppose to be changed for the kids, if the judgement was not stayed,it has been posted how the chidren would have been with the nanny. It just appears to me that with Tameka she also uses the nannies quite frequently so what’s the difference. I read that she sued for over $30,000 in nanny fees but I believe she received $1300 or $1600. Her life appears to be quite hetic too. I got the house thing off another blog that claimed to have read the court documents provided by the site that usually posts them, so I was going with that. I just find it hard to believe that any judge would rule as a favor to a lawyer or rule in a celebrity’s favor for a high profile case. Could be just seems unlikely.I don’t know if Tameka or Usher would be the better parent. It just seems alot of people are supporting Tameka and bashing Usher because she is the mother. Just because you give birth does not make you the mother of the year. I would just like to think the judge based her decision on facts that were presented in court but the public doesn’t know.
@ Nicki..I had to go back like let me post the name of the person that I was talking since there was so many comments. One thing that I think we ALL can agree on is they seem to rely on nannys way too much to raise these boys. I totally do not agree with having a nanny just for the sake of having one BUT people like Kim Z from housewives have one…dont work and you rarely hear people pass judgement so I just try to be mindful of that. We tend to be so much harder on blacks especially the women. Kind of sad…
Once she filed this last time there was a stay in the judgement so they were still under the old agreement. Usher may not have known what was going on…who knows. I dont think they they are very forgiving with each other on these matters at all. For me my support for Tameka comes from doing alot of research and finding that there are just alot of lies out about this woman. She is far from perfect BUT her kids seem to love her and she seem to love them. Usher seems to want to take his kids and live as if Tameka doesnt exist and that is what I dont like. Those kids need both of them!
@Vay I never thought about the Kim Z with the Nanny angle vs Tameka. That does take the nanny issue on a whole another level. Yes, the hate between them is very strong. I hope with time they can get along with each other if only for the children’s sake. I think most people know (not all) that neither one of them is perfect and they both could have done somethings different and better. We all have to live and learn.I would really hope that it is not either of their intent to keep the kids from the other. As they say, at the end of the day, it’s all about the kids and what is best for them. The kids definetly need both parents and in this situation if both parents could somehow work things out that would be the best outcome for all this. Put the kids first & put all the personal BS aside. Easier said than done though.
Exactly! You have a child that has just died and you are more concerned about money than how that death maybe affecting your living children? Really Tameka
You DO realize that her son died in the mist of this court hearing. It’s not like he died on a Thursday and on Friday she said, "Oh by the way, about this card and money…" As far as how it’s affecting her other children, she seems to be more concerned about that than do-no-wrong Usher.
And unlike Usher, it was actually her son so she’s grieving herself. So what if she’s been on the internet? (and she DID take time off). Her life is supposed to stop too? As you pointed out, she does have other children.
Thanks Michelle! Again you cleared up the mess of information that other sites posted. They were saying it was THE JUDGE who filed this when all along it was Usher’s attorney. It’s sad how Tameka is being railroaded by Usher’s camp and his big pockets.
you’re welcome
I hope these two don’t continue to fight until these boys turn 18! Stop the madness and man up Usher. Lil Wayne takes care of all of his baby mamas, you just have ONE and can’t even handle that? Move on man! Let the woman raise her sons and keep the feelings out of it. See, that’s what I think is the problem in this situation. It’s not just a "baby mama" Tameka was his first and so far ONLY wife, and his first and ONLY baby mama. I think there are still feelings there that he can’t justify so they keep fighting to stay apart of each other’s daily lives.
OMGGGG!!!!!! I just wrote this! Yepppp! My brother did this same shit with my nieces mother and they are back together in Athens right NOW! I was all mad at her and then they are now in love again. Shits dumb. Grow up already.
I tend to agree with you. I certainly don’t want to see this bullshit go on for several years. Usher need to stop with his man tantrum. He’s simply upset because he had to clear things first before taking the boys wherever he wants, but that’s what joint custody is. Tameka was/is bound by the same rules.
Since this thread appears to be going the same way as all the other Tameka/Usher threads no matter what information has been presented to the contrary, I’ll just leave it at that. For now lol. I’m sure the usual suspects will come along soon enough with their "I hate Tameka because" posts, the #1 villian being God’s wanna-be representative.
(And no, you can’t say I’ve called this man half the names that are tossed at Tameka on a regular basis…only a few from my side).
Women are mad at Tameka for 2 reasons: 1) She was married to a decent man (Ryan Glover) when she began her adulterous affair with Usher. 2) Usher was suppose to have been in a committed relationship with Chilli when he began his adulterous affair with Tameka (who was quite familiar with him dating Chilli as Tameka was Usher’s Stylist). 3) Tameka couldn’t just be humble in the fact that she not only had the man a lot of women wanted – as she stayed on some media blog bashing the very people who afforded her the lifestyle Usher was giving her. – Given how she ‘got’ the man it just would have been better if she just laid low and enjoyed the life but she was always fighting the conversations and there is no making adultery right! – Plus her fights with his fans didn’t put her in the best light given that she had 3 sons who had to deal with her recklessness against their father.
Ok – 3 reasons!
facingreality…I notice alot of your comments are things that was spreaded from one blog to another.(Lies)lol Her and Ryan was sperated when she got with Usher. Ryan had moved on to another relationship with his current wife. I can comment on the good man part…dont know him personally. Usher and Chilli had broken up and actually there were a few women in-between him getting with Tameka…but why would Tameka be to blame for that anyway?! lol No comment on Tamkea "humbling" herself lol Lastly Usher’s Stans are a hot mess and from what I have seen she probably didnt go hard enough. They still attack her on twitter to this day…
Reason one has absolutely nothing to do with you, me or anybody else. Reason 2 is untrue. Usher dated many women between Tameka and Chilli. Reason 3, Usher’s fans attacked her. She should’ve had a thicker skin, but after awhile shit get to you. Just like your defending a star you like when posts paint him in a light you don’t particularly care for? And we’re talking about HIM! How would you feel if we started directing it at you, how ugly you are, how you’re a home wrecker, a whore, a gold digger, how you should change your name, and so on and so forth? She didn’t fight Usher fans, Usher stans fought her. His true fans were happy for him.
Honey unless you ARE actually her 1st ex husband how do you know anything BUT what you heard or have read??? Secondly, Tameka hasnt bashed anyone except those LIKE YOU that constantly came for her. I follow her tweets she never even says cuss words or mentions her ex husbands ever, I look for the Usher tweets, NONE. If she is being cussed out by a Usher fan, she has the right to defend herself! Free speech and why do they think they can just say anything to her??? I don’t blame her for hurling a few bombs at them and you. You are hateful and don’t even have the facts, just spreading rumors and hearsay. You lived with them or Ryan? You dont know how she ended with Ryan or why? Do you now?
I totally agree! That old saying "there’s a thin line between love & hate" rings so true in this situation. Even in the video above, they are glaring at each other… that relationship is toxic and won’t be healed through a courtroom.
I wonder if this man has camaras hidden in this house that she is staying in or even her phones being tapped…
I’ve wondered the same thing. Tameka strikes me as a woman that would have her house sweeped monthly for bugs though lol.
When she filed the new motion that meant she retained guardianship right. I don’t know the truth and truthfully none of us do. I just hope they get it together for the sake of the kids. She’s a great Mom from what I’ve seen but has been bitter since their split and it truthfully shows, which doesn’t mean she should lose her children. They just need to put their issues aside and co-parent in peace.
That’s true G… but prior to her filing the motion the judgement was announced and his concert was already scheduled. I was just tryna point out that had things gone the way he’s fighting for them to go, the kids would have been taken from their mom only to be with his nanny’s in the states while he was performing in London.
I feel and understand that point. This is just a mess and they need to put the toxic feelings aside and be parents to those adorable boys. Grin and bear it.
But that bitterness can destroy or hinder her ability to be a good mother. Look at how the bitterness of Dwayne Wades ex-wife hindered her ability to be a good mom and his ability to co-parent. The worse parent in the world is one that is bitter about a divorce as they WILL NOT think or do what is in the best interest of their children. All they want is revenge.
i feel like a women caint raise a man to be a man.and tamkea knew what she was getting into when she got married to usher.so it seems like they want to make her out to be better than usher.if u ask me she is just as busy as usher.so how can her schedule to better than ushers.she in the business as well.
That is bullshit! Many women raise MEN all the time! Usher’s father didn’t raise HIM, his mother did! There are men that were raised by both parents, single parents, grandparents etc., they turn out good or bad. It’s what you teach a child, morals, values and self esteem that dictate whether they are a good person. The world is full of single mom’s raising boys that were fathered by men raised by women, so that explains why these "fathers" aren’t "men".
Only read the first line of your comment so I will only say this. I have the best brother who is a wonderful husband, father, son, business partner a true man. He actually can run circles around most so called men that were raised with a dad in the home. Nevertheless my mother was a single parent and she did that…
For someone with such a strong opinion, you should have looked over your response before posting. If this chat was red pen enabled, your whole response would have been scratched out.
It’s hard raising a son alone but I’m a living witness that it can be done. I’m a proud college Mom and did it alone.
The real tea is what’s stamp Bob put on your passport?
Wait… so Bob works at customs now? I had no idea…
hahahahahaha…WELL!!! lol
LOL, touché
You can’t believe that Tameka’s situation is any different than Sheree’s as they are both bitter women. As such, Tameka is just as reckless (when it comes to putting the best interest of their children first). All either of them truly care about is the money they can get from their execs. Sheree was more interested in having the latest purse and car than whether her son had shoes/haircut – and Tameka cares more about her SAKS (or as you put it discount) than her son laying in a hospital dying or those living. – When you look at it objectively – there really isn’t that many differences between the two.
The fact that you say she was worried about a damn card while her son lay dying, when he was alive and well when this hearing actually got started, says you’re everything BUT objective. As far as her similarities to Sheree, I hope I don’t offend any ATL people, but the rep up here is that most black people in ATL are very materialistic.
Feel free to tear into STL at will. I agree lol. MO, the state of the legitimate rape *rolls eyes*
@facingreality, I don’t see any successful business ventures that Sheree achieved while married to Bob before or after him. Unlike Sheree, Tameka was a stylist before she married Usher and by the issue with the Saks card she continued to do so. Tameka didn’t sit back with her heels kicked up riding the gravy train unlike Sheree. I respect her for looking beyond Usher’s entitlements and keeping focused on her ability to make money. While Sheree sat idle during her marriage she lost the ability to think and make money for herself.That’s what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket , she found herself not being able to focus on anything making money wise afterwards. JMO
lol
I think people just naturally want to hate on women. If Usher was the non-famous party suing for custody and spousal support – people would still hate on Tameka. As a society we have been conditoned to blame the woman for everything from divorce to kids not acting right to the fall of political leaders. Whatever Tameka’s faults, she did not end this marriage by herself and should not be punished by having her kids taken away.
so true
Tameka started this relationship off wrong as she was ALREADY MARRIED when she got with Usher. She had a public – very public affair. Where were her ‘motherly’ instincts in that situation as I’m sure her SONS were teased relentlessly and her husband had to be humiliated. Yes, some women were bitter that Usher would choose Tameka but real women are bitter about they way they came to be as most were alright with him being with Chilli.
And the fact that "most were alright with him being with Chilli" is scary as hell. They should’ve been more worried about track #6 instead of who he was laying the pipe to. As far as Tameka, who was she having an affair with? Oh, that’s right! USHER!! Yeah, she was in a committed relationship. If y’all knew it, clearly HE knew it. So what does that say about HIM? In fact, his current AARP representative turned girlfriend was married as well, was she not?
UM HMM.
Since there is a new post about the video I’m just going to copy & paste what I wrote yesterday on the old thread:
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.
Thanks Janet… (((hugs))) I agree…
Exactly Janet. You can be a fan without being a fool. If a person is acting less than desirable, you should have the freedom to express that opinion without backlash. So people can have an opinion about Tameka and not Usher? Whatever, man lol.
Give them babies back to their Mother….. That is so wrong ! Usher karma is coming for you.
So Usher’s lawyer is agreeing that everything Tameka’s lawyer said is true. He just doesn’t want to the true facts to allow an appeal to occur. SMH
Oh Michelle..we have went from you having first hands facts to you being biased over things you heard about Usher. And as decent entertainment journalist, who could possibly have more stable financial future in this business (if you choose), I hate to think that you would continue to slant articles based on what you heard. Now Usher is no saint and neither is Tameka but as I stated before, Tameka is going have to produce the proof of Usher making those comments or move on. That is the only solid proof she has of the judge being on his side. Other than that, it was the lawyers mistake for not disclosing the affidavit. The judge could of operated under the notion that both parties knew. And why didn’t Ryan Glover come forward and say something negative about his ex-wife you ask? He is old enough to know to things 1)Anything he says about the mother of his children will effect the children. 2) Since the children live with their mom, it is not in his best interest to speak ill of her 3) Any negative talk about her reflects the type of women he likes to lay with. Kinda like, you called your baby daddy a no good dog, but you slept with him. So what it say about you. Usher being one of these new school parents hasn’t quite figured that out.
Oh Shakira… It’s not my goal to be (or become) a "journalist. I’m just a chick who has the inside scoop on a lot of things in and around the A. I have views and opinions just like you and the other commenters. Now if you think I should keep my opinions to myself then perhaps you should visit other "unbiased" sites cause it will never happen over here. Sowrry…
The point is that he is more finacially, mentally and emotionally stable to handle his boys. There are plenty of men in the entertainment industry that have full custody of their kids. Screw Tameka all day everyday. I am an adovacate for dads and I hope he get’s to keep his kids. If she wants to keep the boys then she needs to put up 50% of their expense with her broke @ss. I hate weak women that go begging to have things they can’t afford them self. So the next time you walk into court-relay that. Tell her get her weight up and then request a fair trial. Meaning if you were born with nothing, don’t have nothing and aint working towards nothing. YOU SHOULD GET NOTHING!! Go on trips on your own dime…
Financially, maybe. The other stuff is debatable. lol
your a usher stalker get yo life! wierdo you sound like you take it personal. let you have a few babies ( you probably got 10) and let some one snatch them from you when they are 3 years old and see how you feel dummy!
No Atlien from reading some of your other things you have did and from a sister to a sister., I see so much potential from your style of writing and of course I am always routing for us to move ahead and use our powers for good. Your always entitled to opinion and its simply mine in thinking that since you have a platform and people are listening, etc..
yessss gawwwwddd shut that hoe down.
I hate when woman hate on other woman but the man is never wrong go kick rocks and leave Tameka along .
Tameka in the public eye has been reckless from the beginning of her relationship with Usher as she was married with children when it began. Where were her motherly instinct to protect the 3 boys she already had from the ridicule of her very public affair while married to their dad? Then as I stated earlier – a lot of women wanted Usher to be with Chilli (so there isn’t that much hate about him being with a woman it was just the fact that Tameka – an already married woman was it). Plus she spoke so reckless about his mother (who was right about Tameka) and his fans (who was paying her bills – both as a Stylist and eventually as his wife). There is more to this than is being vetted.
DO you realize that you have gone through this all the comments spreading lies about Tameka…THIS is why we have a hard time coming up in the world. WHY do you hate this woman so much that you would go from comment to comment saying things that arent true? I have corrected you on a few but this is sad…IF you are going to dislike her…FINE but shouldnt it be over facts and not lies that you got from a blog! This is the main reason that Tameka gets all the hell from the black community. Stop it Stop it Stop it!!! Go do some research before you spread another lie on someone.
Girl, her mind’s made up. She wants to know what she already knows and nothing more. You are absolutely right, though. Why do black women have it so bad? Because if each other. Other issues, yes, but we’re problem number one. In my Keisha (BBW) voice, "that’s so sad."
GIRL THIS @FACINGREALITY PERSON IS EITHER USHER’SSS MOTHER, LAWYER OR GF. NO ONE ELSE CARES AS MUCH AS THIS POSTER. ALSO SHE KEEPS USING LEGAL SOUNDING TERMS "TRANSFER OF THE CHILDREN" ‘VETTED" "PUBLIC AFFAIR" LMAOOO, SO BLATANT AND PERSONAL.
YOU KNOW HE HAS HIS "TEAM" IN THESE COMMENTS, TOO LATE USHER WE DONT BELIEVE YOU, YA NEED MORE PEOPLE. DIDNT USHER START DATING GRACIE WHILE HE WAS MARRIED????? THIS COMMENTERS COMMENTARY CANCELS THEMSELVES OUT WITH STUPIDITY AND DUMB POINTS.
Ok so im really having a hard time understanding why Usher got in for Tameka soooo bad…Ima really need the tea on dis hear ATlien! who did Tameka mess around wit in the industry that got his panties all in a bunch lmao…because its not adding up! why would he do her this way…i really do believe his mom plays a heavy role in this shenanigans she hates Tameka! if i were her i would have his ass investigated! but it wont be long before his skeletons come out of his WALK IN CLOSET lol….I sooooo have a NEW RESPECT for my girl Michelle aka ATLien. #TEAM TAMEKA
Tameka has said some very reckless things about Usher that their sons will one day read. Plus, Tameka must now know what Ryan Glover felt like reading and seeing her cheat on him with Usher. – Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. – Karma perhaps?
Every interview that I have ever read from his ex wife, has been nothing but classy, well stated and NEVER bashing to Usher. Please link me to where she has spoken reckless, I’d love to see this.
I think you are not being honest here, I have followed their marriage and divorce stuff, no negative words or even real explanation of their break up reasoning. He hasnt either. This case is just scandalous and messy, but I did read that HE actually filed this and started the ball rolling with it. I blame him for this foolishness if he is the one that petitioned to take her sons away. Thats a low move on his part especially after the divorce.
and to all you HATIN ass Blog Stalkers Lol…leave ATLien the FUCC alone! she is one of the real bloggers! let her do her job! she keep us informed with the REAL UNCUT 411! not some watered down shht! all yall haters need to BTFU and get off ma ATLien….
Is this Kandi, Phadra, Tiny, Toya, or Rashedda????
NO…THIS IS SASSY M FROM THE SISTERS OF THE SUN MC LOS ANGELES, CA! HOWDY PARTNER…
I like you, Sassy.
Why do you people come to HER site to complain. I have a great idea… START YOUR OWN!!! Keep bringing the tea Michelle. I’m not even from Atlanta, I’m a transplant lol.
IN THAT ORDER…CO SIGN
I agree with that, No one is pointing a gun to anyone’s head to read anything on this blog..You do have free choice..If you don’t agree fine you don’t have to..but Michelle is nor has she ever said she was a journalist, she has stated she is biased and oh yeah it’s HER BLOG..get over yourselves
@Escalady for the record….Michelle is a Facebook friend and of course I get new blog updates. The thing is I think her blogs have kinda changed a bit from 2010. Lots of ppl including Tyler Perry welcomed the blogs because the view points weren’t so biased and personal. They were more informative, more commentary. I just think with the world having something new going on everyday with entertainers…why is the topic here ALWAYS this case? So I give my comments because I want her to move on to something new.
Blogs were created as a way of giving the public a more objective viewpoint into the everyday occurrences of life. They were created to give the people a VOICE! They wouldn’t exist w/o the Voice of the people – so yes as a blogger you have a right to Voice your opinion but then by that same token so do your readers. If your objective in creating the blog wasn’t to give the people a voice (right or wrong) then what is the true point of blogging and allowing comments. Why not just blog and turn the comments section off?
I got a headache on the top left side of my right eyebrow with this case going on. I mean goodness…for the sake of the damn children can we not resolve this?
I still think the children are too young to be taken from their momma. Wait until they are between 10 & 11 Usher…and then the baton can be passed and you can raise them to be men.
I can’t! I quit!
Touch and Agree! Thats the main point being missed. They are too damn young to be wit him on a darn plane, train, or automobile running the streets or at a show. They are babies and still too little to be moving as much.
Good observation, locktress…I can get with that.
"Usher & his highly paid crisis management team made sure that it was TAMEKA who appeared to be the uncaring parent, even though she lost her 11 year old son through no fault of her own.
I wouldn’t put it past him to have paid trolls on blawgs leaving those scandalous comments y’all all complain to me about (but I digress)." Michelle what you talking bout? why is it that everybody has to be gettn paid? The way you been down for TFGR lately….are you on her payroll?…by I digress. And you always talking bout Ushers PR team…what PR team? The only things I ever read about this case comes from either YOU or TAMEKA vis Twitter. Pick some more topics….this sh-t is getting old. Sometimes you act like Usher stood you up on a date or something. Just like the rest of the world….you dont know exactly what is inside the minds of either person, or what their true intentions are. FIND ANOTHER TOPIC…WE R TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT THIS!!!
In Michelle’s defense… THIS HERE IS HER BLOG DOG! She is called "Straight from the A". Usher is a BIG, well not so much, but a popular "sanga" in the A. This is national news ie; TMZ, CNN, People have all been talking about it. I’m SOOOOO glad to be getting the real uncut versions of it, from someone STRAIGHT FROM THE A and not his publicity teams versions only. Come on Kim, the ex wife has been getting dogged, railroaded, berated since their divorce by HIS TEAM and fan clubs, we all know this. Usher is playing coy and letting his "TEAM" do his work, ie; one sided court stories, filing for custody, writing mean songs "Papers", he has been on a diss mission since the divorce happened. I like that Michelle is finding out whats REALLY goin’ on and writing about it and other juicy entertainment news. Don’t visit HER blog if you don’t wanna hear about your "boo". He’s wrong period and Michelle is calling him out with no filters. You must be on his "Team" cuz why do you care??? Just sayin’ Usher is a well known guy we KNOW he has a PR team, do you deny this? Managers? A team? I think he even dates his manager which tells he she’s behind ALL of his ex wife drama and the smear campaign too. Carry on.
And let the church say AMEN!…. She been getting dogged since BEFORE they married. I thimk that’s one of the reasons they didn’t last
@Jaconda…actually no I am not on Usher’s payroll, and not really a fan. When he came around I was a Tevin Campbell fan who always wondered why he (Usher)seemed to be more popular as a vocalist…so that’s not it at all. I’m just saying if you go and Google Usher right now….there is nothing demeaning towards Tameka going to pop up…but Google Tameka and see for yourself what she has said demeaning about him, his girlfriend, his ex girlfriend, an associate of the both (Kandi) so I just don’t get the everybody on the payroll thing or the everybody is a fan, or the everybody is bashing her thing.
I also realize this is a blog,a and it is Michelle’s blog…as I said before I used to enjoy coming her to read and see what’s happening in the A. I am also just sick of hearing about them….let’s get another topic from Michelle and let Usher and Tameka and there situation go….nobody hear will ever get the truth…and both of them have a right to have there children so really who can say they will be better off with Tameka. Men raise their kids, Eric Bennett, Rickey Smiley, Katt Williams among the famous and thousands of regular men with busy schedules.
I have read a lot of really mean things people have said about Tameka that have literally left my mouth wide open…and I would never go there. But again, from my perspective as a person who has never bought a CD,Single, Ticket to a show, never fascinated over him (he looks too much like Chicken George)I just dont get the paying people off and the PR claims. Go ahead and Google it and see. The things that PR release would be there.
It is due to his PR that when you google her, mean things pop up. Did she cuss MF’s out? Sure! Why? They attacked her first. She came off as a lose cannon because of the constant neverending attacks she’s defended herself against. People have the nerve to say "it comes with the territory." No, SHE is not a star, the man she married was! To this day she is being harrassed, and those who criticize her for defending herself are hypocrites, because they’ll sit on this very blog and curse people out simply for disagreeing with them.
I totally agree with you about the fact that Tameka’s mouth is reckless – especially for a woman who has done so wrong by ALL OF HER children way before Usher came along. Plus, as I stated earlier, ATLien has a right to write whatever she wants about as it is her blog – but by that same token, if you are going to allow people to comment (which she doesn’t have to do) then you have to be ok with accepting that everyone is not going to agree with your viewpoint. And I think that it is in our differences of opinions that we all grow and learn – if nothing else – tolerance.
I am so sick of this: She is the mother crap. He is the father and if he can afford to take care of them, then he should have them. He owes her nothing and society needs to fall in line with the 21st century. If custody was awarded based on the parent with the most stability; more people would get real jobs and take care of their kids. She should pay 50% of those kids expenses. He don’t owe her a house, trucks, cars, cards or even an apology. Screw her in every situation that she has jumped into. His mother raised him well and that’s where those kids should be.
Yeah, his mother raised him so well that he rammed his truck into her car with her in it. And had to admit this in open court. smh. (Next line said in the most disrespectful voice ever) Oh look, there are some seats, HAVE THEM!
His mother didn’t raise him worth shit. Let’s be real. She sent him off unattended to NY to be mindf*cked by an pissant who exposed her young son to strippers, hoes and orgies. He can’t commit worth a damn and her other son is an abuser.
A good parent she is not.
what is it you wanna be fing usher. He owe her she bore his kids…married his ass… he owes her something. Your ass get married and have a man’s baby you would expect some help too. the point is she has his kids in her home for how ever old they are why can’t they stay in the home they know? usher is not stable he is globe trotting and pill poppin. Your a usher fanatic your unrealistic and unlogical in your thinking get that usher poster off your wall and think like a grown ass adult.
Actually I am a full time parent that has multiple business adventures with a level head and a deed to a property. I am an adovcate for dads who are grown men with jobs, accounts, cars, homes and the ability to take care of their kids with out an allotment going to a broke custodial parent. I keep it 100%. Child support doesn’t pay bills in my opinion, GOD does; focus on him and all your needs will be met.I tell my friends the same thing. Child support is not guranteed but God is. I love an independent woman who can buy her own house, got her own car, work two jobs if she has to. I would have settled the case privately, got a new house that has no old memories and worked to get my cash flow up. I’m not beginning a man for nothing. Yes I am married, yes I own my house and paid cash for my down payment. Yes I have kids, cars, good credit and married a man than makes 6 figures but at the end of the day. I JUST GOT A PROMOTION ON MY JOB SO ALL YOU HATERS GET YOUR TWO PIECE SUIT OUT, GO INTERVIEW, GET A JOB THAT WILL SUPPORT YOU AND YOUR KIDS AND GET it how you live. If you cant afford something yourself then you don’t need it.GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE!! Tameka…..
I appreciate ATLien giving such honest and unbiased information about this case. This proves that Usher is not the saint that the media and his fans try to make seem like. I am disgusted by how he is treating Tameka and will never support him again. He loved her at one point. You don’t treat someone you used to love this badly.
Whatever the case, my heart goes out to Tameka. She doesn’t deserve all of this. If she was such a bad mother, why did Usher have not one, but two babies with her? He should grow up and allow his sons’ mom to help raise the boys- under her roof. And what’s wrong with Usher buying her a mom to roof his kids? He has the money, so "just be a man about it"(in my Toni Braxton’s voice).

AMen!!!
amen x 2 you fanatics are retarded.
R u guys serious? Tameka is notorious for being nasty 2 every1. Being a young black wife which she likes 2 state thats all ever black women aims 2 b. A husband would not try 2 take anything from the women he married if he truely loved & respected her especially after leaving her. So again i choose 2 believe his actions as a testament to her person the sad sob story isnt stickn…..Sorry but, im really not Tameka u can comment now….i kno, i kno it crazy to think on the only blog that is nice 2 her she is cosigning and add under a pseudo id….go head
Tameka lost rights to being respected when she began her very public, adulterous affair with Usher as the mother of then 3 sons. People may not want to remember that she didn’t give a damn how her husband and children felt – all she thought about was herself, as any self-righteous woman would have divorced her husband before began such a PUBLIC affair to begin with.
Self-righteous? That is not a positive trait. Do you mean self respecting? If she didn’t respect herself, neither did Usher, and neither did Grace. Hell, Chilli either, since she was seeing Dallas Austin and he kicked Usher’s ass in a club.
COSIGN!
Im sorry she lost her son, i really am. But that man intially was with the joint custody… If he wants to take his boys wherever u knew who u were having babies with …as long as u was globe trotting with "USHER" it was ok but, without u its a problem. He backed her on national TV despite how his fans felt. If his view changed of her then i believe, that there is a reason.
Well he should let us know the reason, it sure didn’t come in the evidence in court. He proved NO WHERE that she was a bad mother, yes he said she threw a plate of food at his girl, but not a poor mother period. This isn’t about who "likes" Tameka, its about whats best for their sons and being with the absent daddy is not settled. He is a singing star, who is supposed to raise the kids when he is on tours?
Usher have several seats please. SAT DOWN
They still have joint custody @true.
why should her boys be all over the damn globe… fuck you fans this is her damn kids. Yeah it was ok when she was there along side her husband there to supervise their children but with usher pop lock and dropping it who is going to be there for her kids to watch them the damn nanny…give me a break.
I just want to make it clear you idiots that judge and vilify this woman are complete obsessive fanatics much like the woman who was arrested for stalking usher a few weeks back. You people sit and judge this woman on everything her complexion, her age, her everything and yet most of you don’t take a damn good look in the mirror toward your own ratchet lil’ lives. Tameka Foster didn’t rape usher V. Raymond! He willingly asked tameka to marry him, he made not one but two kids with this woman he love her at some point. You guys are still caught up with the fact that he left chili old thristy ass for a lil bit of an older chick. Get the hell over it! Tameka foster no matter what you think has raised some children and she is a good mother how dare you idiots say she deserves her kids be taken away from based on what? Because usher can sing half key and pelvic thrust and that makes your coochie and dicks jump. Give me a damn break! She has had the boys and doesnt’ stop them from seeing their dad. Why take those boys from the home they have known for some time. You guys wanna vilify her yet yall don’t remember when usher mysteriously was falling off of stages and getting boo’d because he pulled a amy wine house . I DON’T LIVE IN ATL BUT I KNOW A COKE HEAD WHEN I SEE ONE AND USHER WAS DEFINITLY ON SOME ISH. but you wanna judge tameka on behalf of tameka kiss her black ass. I know karma is a bitch and she will have her boys back!
Lol Keerah u went in but I <3 every word you said and I am so dead @Because usher can sing half key and pelvic thrust and that makes your coochie and dicks jump!!! That gave me life tonight lol
That shit had me crackin’ up too! lol. I do think the boy can sing on key, though. Though he was sorely off key in concert singing Mars v. Venus. And his voice did crack on SNL lol.
Thank u @Nicki G that’s the truth right there! Don’t feel sorry for Tameka like Michelle trying to persuade people. Michelle is getting biased all the reasons she professed in this blog y Usher won makes me believe Tameka got her as a Troll on her mini payroll . Michelle tryna make a Story, a friend or both. Hmm btw pure contradiction on Tameka’s lawyer part. The lawter tryna win so she can get in on Ushers 200 mil. How U DOOOIIINNNGGGG!
Hello all.I had to first do some research before I commented this time. I read other blogs,looked over some court docs and read up on Georgia judges. As I have always stated, Georgia judges has been stepping down in record number for the past year due to their corruption. Google,"Georgia Judges resign" and click on the second link. I believe that this is no coincidence that Usher’s attorney contributed to the Judges campaign and then won the case. I also don’t thinkit’s a coincindence that Usher’s attorney paid 83% of the Judge’s campain and has won 100% of his cases. The numbers don’t lie. All of you Usher fans,look at the facts. This case will indeed turn over every case this Judge has ruled on because of this. However, this is her fault. I am glad Tameka is strong enough to continue her fight. Georgia has messed with the right one! Tameka needs to realize in her time of grief her fight has gotten stronger and she’s about to be used to help other people who were wronged be this judge. I have searched high and low and still can’t find an ounce of evidence to show just cause as to why Usher should have primary custody. They should have joint and continue to have joint until the children are grown. That’s all I have for now Vay and Stlchick….:)
Hey Sam!!!
I actually have tears in my eyes…this right here…"Tameka needs to realize in her time of grief her fight has gotten stronger and she’s about to be used to help other people who were wronged be this judge." I could NOT have said it better.
I’ve shared before so it is no secret that I gave birth to and lost my daughter in May of this year. Very few people will get or understand the "fight" in a grieving mother. What most people fail to realize (including Usher) is that Kile’s death has given her strength like never before. It takes some parents a while to realize that through the pain they have become stronger and even wiser…Tameka had no other choice but to find it very quickly. With that being saids she will continue to fight even if this means challenging a Judge that to others seem unstoppable. The blessing is that she knows what being talked about and hated feels like and none of that will discourage her or stop her. GREAT info you have here…and thank you so much for reminding me of all the fight I have in me to make change…especially if it will help someone else along the way. (((((hugs)))))
I’m happy I made your heart smile. ((((hugs))))
Hugs
Whassup, SAM!!
In the end, Mayoue (sp) and The judge will snatch Tameka’s wig BALD. She does not stand a chance against them. She will continue to make herself look more and more foolish. Her lawyer was also involved in the fundraiser/reelection shit right? Girl bye. All her claims are frivolous. She must not have anybody in her corner who gives a damn about her otherwise they’d tell her sit down and stfu. There is way more evidence against her than for her at this point. A judge will choose an adulterous ex husband/father over a nutty as a fruitcake, materialistic, unstable, immature mother ANYDAY. Thats why she ruled the way she did. Kids are not pawns and meal tickets and Tameka’s ugly ass is finding that out the hard way.
Any man that doesnt simply want Joint custody is faulty, why would Usher busy. puss chasin’, pill poppin’, flying, bussing, singin’, dancin’, coonin’ ass want FULL or sole custody of 2 babies?? Riddle me this? and if he thought she was so bad , why did he MARRY and make 2 of them puppies with her???? Usher I smell a rat and it has a frohawk and short legs. If shes so nutty, materialistic, unstable HE MARRIED HER so oh well he loved it and wanted her enough to put a ring on it. Men pull the crazy card when they don’t wanna pay or they want their kids. Whatever, I see through Usher’s bullshit and long before this or any blog starting showing his colors. He’s a nasty spirited man and God don’t like ugly. His time is approaching keep living this will come to pass.
Usher I smell a rat and it has a frohawk and short legs.
==========================
ROTFLMFAO!!! Damn near lost my pulse laughing so damn hard. When he took the stage at his concert, I looked at him and thought, "shit, that n^^^^ at least 5’4"" lol
lol well from what I understand, Tameka was pregnant when he decided to marry her anyway. Furthermore, she’s always been crazy. See, the thing that actually attracted Usher to Tameka was the fact that he thought he could trust her. She had been around him for awhile, seen his lifestyle, and at that particular point in time he liked that she was "mouthy". She was really a brash and over opinionated, tell it like it is kinda woman and he thought it was refreshing. However, if you all can remember Tameka was also going to go on Wendy Williams show and call herself tellin his biz but that’s before everything else happened. Usher had been warned multiple times by MULTIPLE people about Tameka. But he’s hardheaded and has to see that fat meat is greasy, know what I mean? Usher loves his kids and always has said that he wanted to be the father he didn’t have. Lastly, Nav wasn’t planned because Usher had already emotionally checked outta that marriage and was messing around anyway. Quite frankly, gettin pregnant twice by a man who left me is nothing to brag about. Usher loved/had love for Tameka but was never truly in love with her the way a man should be in love with a wife. His actions and words proved that on several occasions. Sad but such is life.
Makes sense, Pretty. I remember Wendy got mad as hell too, because she wouldn’t spill the beans. She kicked her off the show lol. Sad thing is, she still loves him. I think he sees her as an afterthought because bottom line, he has no respect for women. His mom kept him away from his dad, which was her decision, but clearly had an impact on him. His introduction to sex was through an orgy, so clearly he sees all women as sex objects. I said it before and I’ll say it again. I feel sorry for any woman who has the misfortune of loving this man; Tameka, Chilli, even superhead…they all carry scars (did y’all read what superhead said about his treatment of her? Yeah, she’s a hoe, but that was still cold on Usher’s part. Just proves that he makes poor romantic decisions, knowing she’s a hoe but dallying with her anyway).
Joint custody. Joint custody. JOINT CUSTODY! Not full/sole, JOINT.
all I know is her @ss better had turned them kids over to usher on the 1st of the month. that judge ain’t got time for her games.
Oh lovely…I mean Mia…it’s ok just as surely as she gives him the kids he will have to bring them back…thats what happens with joint custody lovely I mean Mia. lol
”long sigh” again Vay, get out your feelings luv. I know how emotional this gets you. Tameka not bout to do nothin but lose again. That’s IF she even gets granted a new hearing. So dry your eyes. ain’t nothin bout to happen.
Hey lovely!!I didn’t know they let you all use computers on the psychiatric ward! Now make sure to take your meds today as you promised. I heard about how you been spitting out your pills talking about you will only take them if Usher is your nurse. That’s not cool lovely…now stop sneaking behind the nurses’ station just to read a blog on their computer and go get some rest boo. May you have wonderful Usher dreams with plenty of Usher kisses…crazy ass. lol
Hahaha,now that was funny! Let it go "lovely",Usher doesn’t love you! He will never be any of your children’s father and he will not come and visit you in psych ward. No need to take it out on Vay. Usher,just doesn’t want you.Sorry.
She isn’t spitting out those pills, she’s hiding them under her tongue cause those nurses know they’re MANDATORY in her case.
She already lost 1 son and she won’t let nobody take her other 2 from her.
