Judge in Usher Raymond Custody Battle Steps Down… *UPDATED – New Details*

Dec, 14 2012 | Written by ATLien
Hold up… stop the presses! It looks like Tameka Foster Raymond‘s prayers have been answered regarding her bitter custody battle with her superstar ex-husband Usher Raymond!

Judge Bensonetta Tipton-Lane, the Fulton County judge that ruled in Usher’s favor during Raymond’s bitter custody battle with his ex-wife Thas stepped down from the case.

This news comes amidst a ton of speculation and controversy regarding the fairness of her legal decision, and after an investigation was launched regarding alleged inappropriate activity between Usher’s counsel and the judge.

[READ: SHOTS FIRED! CBS Investigates Judge in Raymond vs. Raymond Custody Battle.. (VIDEO)]

Lisa West, the attorney for Tameka Raymond, reportedly filed another motion asking the judge to turn over some unspecified emails and her request caused a firestorm down at Fulton County.

Due to the details in the motion, Judge Lane unceremoniously recused herself from the Raymond vs. Raymond case and an order was issued containing the following directive:

Court administrator is hereby directed to reassign this case to ANOTHER JUDGE.

Do you know what that means?

That means, Tameka will finally get her day in court under a judge that (hopefully) isn’t financially connected in anyway to the legal counsel for her ex-husband.

[FLASHBACK: Proof Usher’s Attorney Held Fundraiser For Judge in Custody Battle… ]

And from what I understand, all orders previously issued under Judge Lane, (ie the order for Usher to maintain “Primary custody”) will be re-tried under another judge.

I’m happy for Tameka. Hopefully she will get the legal recourse she seeks and the son’s of the couple can gain some type of stability.

Joint custody isn’t a bad thing… considering it’s what they had before USHER filed seeking sole custody.

Hopefully the two can finally manage to co-parent instead of battling each other.

Stay tuned…

  THIS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THOSE POOR KIDS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN THAT CT SCHOOL!!!
  
  It’s her business
  
  Right. I bet those parents WISH they had a kid to fight over. They’re kids are dead.
  
  Sara
  
  "Their" not "They’re" which is short for "They are"….just saying
  
  Kendra
  
  This blog is called Straight from the A, not CNN, Headline News, or BBC. For Atlanta this is news. Yes the tragedies in Conn. are terrible but theres nothing new to report on it. It’s very sad and disgusting but go to a MAJOR news source if youre looking for world news, not Straight From the A. That’s your bad, if you’re looking for real news on here. Click X and log off.
  
  stlchick
  
  Kendra, I think they’re point is that in light of the tragedy, both these fools should count their blessings and focus on what’s important…their sons. I don’t think it was a jab at ATL, because I think she posted this before the story came out. And bottom line, life continues even in the mist of tragedy. Pow, AKA God’s wanna be representative, it’s baffling to me why so many innocent people are cut down in their prime, but hatred, innocence and cruelty is never ending and spreads like a fungus. Away with you, fungus.
  
  Danahh
  
  I think you FORGOT that Tameka knows FIRST HAND of what it feels like to lose a child which is EVEN MORE of a reason for her to fight for her babies! So u dont make any sense.
  
  Sara
  
  Again…."their" NOT "they’re"! They’re is short for "They are". PLEASE, for the love of English, learn the difference between "their", "they’re" and "there"!
  
  Guest
  
  Under the circumstances (Conn.tragedy),you sound STUPID!That tragic event DEFINITELY work in this situation.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS EL-STUPIDO!
  
  excuse me
  
  Kenya, Are you IamAtlien? Atlien has reported on things that didn’t have to do with Atlanta. Don’t police this blog. We readers have mad love for Atlien and she don’t need no kne policing her blog.
  
  pow
  
  I WISH THAT TAMEKA WOULD HAVE FIGHT TO KEEP KILE ALIVE THE WAY SHE IS FIGHTING FOR THOSE CHILD SUPPORT CHECKS
  THIS WOMAN IS CURSED THE MURDERER OF HER SON IS STILL A FREE MAN IN THE MEAN TIME
  POOR TAMEKA SHE CAN’T WIN
  
  Ginger
  
  I swear, some of you heauxs will let any ol’ thing come IN and OUT of your mouths! What the phuck do you mean "I wish Tameka would have fought to keep Kyle alive"??? That’s her CHILD… it was an unfortunate accident (not a murder)… there was nothing more she or the doctors could do!? GTFOH!
  
  You are one simple, stupid, short-bus riddin’, illiterate-typing ass bitch! Don’t just be on here saying dumb shit at the expense of another person’s life… especially when they’ve lost a child.
  
  You don’t know Tameka. You don’t know Usher. And you know nothing about their bankrolls. You’re just another no-life having, cockaroach, sitting behind a computer screen living vicariously through the lives of celebs via a phucking BLOG! While you’re over here worried about Tameka/Usher and their kids… you probably don’t even know your own damn daddy!
  
  Get your mind right sweetheart, or go play in traffic!
  
  Divaish
  
  Ginger stfu…
  
  Stella
  
  Really Ginger? Going kind of hard on somebody you don’t know, for somebody you don’t know. Do you know Tameka, do you know Usher?
  
  Your response to her was more asinine than her comment. If that is what you were going for – mission accomplished.
  
  MOK
  
  How disrespectful of you to say something like that! You act like you were there and have first hand information. To say she did not fight for the life of her child is irresponsible. Usher is making millions, why shouldn’t he pay to support his kids?
  
  Lucille7777
  
  Praise God, thank you Jesus. The Lord God is working to expose the wicked and bring justice to Tameka and her boys, Amen.
  
  As for the evil in Connecticut, all our hearts are with the 20 children and 6 adults killed by the gunman. All those innocent and brave souls surely went straight to Heaven.
  
  This incident makes it even more vital that Tameka Raymond and people like her who have been ill served by the corrupt and in this case bought by Usher justice system, receive real justice for their children because tomorrow is not promised to any of us.
  
  God bless you Tameka; God has made a path for you to regain your children and keeping fighting for them, I’m praying for you.

  The Breaking News is the shooting in Conn who cares about Usher….

  yea its another false flag op by our government to promote the gun ban wake up america!

  I’m glad I’m not the only one who is hip to what’s REALLY going on here.
  
  hotdogsonthegrill
  
  Guns will never be banned in this country but the law may change on how it’s made available to people.
  
  fukk it
  
  YEAP. THE GOVERNMENT IS A COLD PIECE OF WORK. THEY DO NOT HAVE OUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART.THEY WANT THE PEOPLE TO WILLINGLY GIVE UP THEIR GUNS SO WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN WE WOULD BE DEFENSELESS. I’M GLAD TO SEE THAT SOME FOLKS AREN’T ASLEEP.
- Gwendolyn Gwendella Johnson via Facebook
  
  Too hard to care about this today…Navi and Ush are safe with two loving parents 18 or 20 kids are not.
  
  chi
  
  This is probably why Tamika posted the picture when she was hungover on the steps of her home, she had to celebrate but she couldn’t tell us why she was celebrating at the time.
- LB
  
  Interesting…here we go, yet again. Whatever the outcome, it should be for the well being of the children; whether they primarily live with daddy or mommy. Keep us posted Michelle for us non Atliens.
- Philly Finest!!!
  
  What most of us had an issue with is that she was never proven to be an unfit parent, If it were proven. (All of us would have agreed with the decision,but thats not the case).
  
  @LB said: Keep us posted! It’s not about WHo the parties are,but it more or less cases like this happen all the time when one parent gets a raw deal.
- Candi
  
  Hopefully the judge will require these 2 to go to counseling. Also hopefully they won’t have open court and keep it private. I’m so over them and this battle. Innocent babies were shot today. Whether Usher and Navi were with mom or dad they are both safe. These babies who died won’t have that chance to be safe anymore. Hopefully Usher and Meka will see that time is precious and battling eachother for years isn’t worth it. U had them together..raise them together. They are both parents children equally.
- Shay Shay
  
  Good for Tameka! Her case was about to open up a lot of messiness going on in Fulton County courts. Their whole hearing was a sham.
- nacole
  
  I’m happy for her, hopefully she can get a fair shoot now. The judge should send them both to counseling for a minimum of One year cause they really need it.
  
  2bme
  
  Let’s hope so..many of these judges are "friends" and this is very embarrasing for Judge Tipton-Lane..although this new judge may be scrutinized more closely only God knows the outcome..it could be upheld, more info could come forth that even more damaging or what we deem should be fair for Tameka will commence..I agree with the counsling, but a year won’t cut it..add a lifetime to that
  
  stlchick
  
  Agreed, 2bme. Not all news is good news. What if she gets a judge that gives Usher full custody? She runs that risk. This gives me an uneasy feeling. I understand as a mother you need to do everything you can for the sake of your childrent, and maybe that’s why I have the following viewpoint. I’d just hang back, and wait for him to f*** up. That’s pretty much what he did with her, with the help of some friends (please don’t think the friend that betrayed her in court wasn’t the one feeding information to Usher about her whereabouts. That’s how he knew). I don’t know. I just don’t know. But I know one thing. I’m going back to avoiding social media (except FB) until the shock of this tragedy wears off. I just can’t. Too damn trivial right now.

  HELLO USHER AND TAMEKA…HEAR THIS…PUHLEEZ GET IT TOGETHER FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN!
  
  A gunman just shot up 27 people in a school here and 18 of them were babies. KINDERGARTEN! LIFE IS TOO DAMN SHORT AND PRECIOUS!
  
  jesus…help us!
  
  oh…and there’s a billboard in times square that says…keep the merry…with a pic of santa and below it…lose the myth…with a picture of Jesus carrying the cross.

  It’s her business
  
  You know you can’t tell people the truth. They will make you out to be crazy.

  Soooooo, if people aren’t Christian or hold a different belief than you do and choose to express it, that means the end of times? Hold the phone, let me call all of the Muslims, Jews and Buddhists… and I’m mad at myself for responding cause your remark had nothing to do with the story.
- Free Mind
  
  The judge should have removed from the bench when her indescretions were first revealed.
  
  I hope everything work out for Tameka because she was treated unfairly….
- Jane
  
  Are you serious right now? You report new on everything in ATL, cool! But please don’t come with this BREAKING NEWS STORY about Usher when THERE ARE CHILDREN AND ADULTS DEAD FROM A SHOOTING AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!! I cant! i like your blog…i really do..you report atl news and u also report other news quite often….WHY IS THE SHOOTING NOT BEING REPORTED ON THIS BLOG?! Y?!! im not understanding this at all! BREAKING NEWS…..USHER???!!! REALLY?! girl plz this man does not care one bit about what you report on him..and NEWS FLASH NEITHER DOES TAMEKA!!! omg you report on this like you are obssessed with them!!! My God help us all! seriously you need to report more important news also!!!

  Shug, if you are that pressed, you need to log on to CNN… this is an ENTERTAINMENT BLOG and nothing about 27 people being murdered is entertaining…#thatisall

  Exactly!!!!

  Speak on it, Miss Kush. My heart is heavy after watching CNN, so I decided to visit the site.
- 2bme
  
  This should be a wake up call to all involved if Kile wasn’t this should be…Nothing else left to say except that I pray for the healing of families in this time of tragedy..Usher and Tameka..grow up..life is too precious..if you don’t believe ask the parents of the children who were killed by a senseless act..never able to dream again or fulfill those dreams because their lives were stolen from them..God Bless the innocent..have mercy on our hearts as mine continues to bleed for these babies…
- Renee
  
  She still need to turn over those emails. She needs to be reprimanded for her shady business in this case.
  
  Suthernhummingbyrd
  
  I agree.
- tori
  
  I hope Usher & Tameka can settle this custody battle OUT of court and act like they got sum sense. Usher needs to put his PRIDE & EGO to the side and do what’s best for his boys.
- ladyl
  
  who cares about this right now?!!!! really there are innocent little children that were killed today!
- Jane
  
  mizzkush? and whoever agrees…
  really? oh….smh
- Suthernhummingbyrd
  
  The level of ignorance astounds me. Broaden your horizons before you come for others on an ENTERTAINMENT blog. Today’s events are tragic, and similar things like this are happening around the world EVERY DAY. Watch CNN on the regular, view other websites that report worldly news, and tune into some news radio sometimes-the war on our children is so real. Darfur’s ongoing genocide, The Congo rape crisis, and human trafficking should and are being discussed, just not here, and that fact should be respected. Instead of coming here and showing ur ass because Michelle isn’t blogging what YOU want, call into a news shows that discussing this. Join in a conversation that is being held online concerning this crisis, but don’t come here and judge this blogger or the commentators because you ASSUME you know their level of concern.
  
  Sai
  
  I totally agree, some of us come to THIS blog for the change of scenery. Everybody is reporting the same story about the shootings in Conn!!!! Its a little refreshing to read something less heavy. Thank God this Judge is stepping down, I pray that Tameka gets her fair day in court and I hope that she wins her children back 200%!!! Usher was wrong to take her kids away and God is working to get them back to her! My prayer for her are being answered. God doesn’t fail his people and Usher is not of God, his spirit and actions with this woman tell me so.
- jalisa
  
  I’m sorry guy I never really do this but being how my timeline on twitter was bombarded with this nonsense today while I was trying to keep posted about the shooting in Conn. I felt like I needed to say this. Who cares! Now is not the time for this. there are parents mourning the lost of there children right now. In sense you are the only one who is posting this because all the other blogger are getting info of your blog "let it go" 89% of the thing you posted aren’t true and you never have the all facts. I know Tameka is your friend and you hate Usher but honey enough is enough with these two. Are the kids safe? that’s all that matters. Let’s just pray they can work it out for the kids sake because this constant exploitation is getting them no where. In remember this be careful what you wish for cause it may come back to hurt you 10 times harder
  
  WiserWords
  
  With all due respect, Jalisa and others holding your sentiment, I believe the "A" in this blog stands for Atlanta. The news about the tragedy in Connecticut, not far from where I live, is on EVERY station (TV and radio). I believe Michelle is doing her job (quite well, if you ask me).
  
  I want to cry first, with sadness, about the developments Michelle reported on this case which have shown our justice system is a place where dollars may sway decisions.
  
  And then I want to cry with joy because Tameka Foster Raymond has taught us a lesson; fight for what you know is right!
  
  SW
  
  Thats right Wiser Words!! This is SFTA’s blog, so wont they go to cnn if they want the school news. I love her blog, different strokes for everyday.
- Fallon Benjamin via Facebook
  
  HALLELUJAH MICHELLE. LOL The joint custody sounds good.
- Jane
  
  @Jalisa…i agree! smh
- Jane
  
  As i stated before…i like this blog! She reports about the “A”, yes and she also reports other news around the world(ie the ups post or the kanye west wearing a skirt post) um yes! For her to put “Breaking News” on a post like this was absurd to me and it didn’t sit well with me at all! She has the right to report or blog about whatever she wants…but that was just too inconsiderate to the fact that there was actually breaking news today! Now that is all!
- Jane
  
  and would it be different if the shooting had happened in Atl?! What? i dont understand! other foolishness like kanye wearing a skirt was headlined on here but not this?! yea im done!
- jalisa
  
  Now my email I have to take the notification off. Yes @wiserwords I understand there a few people out there who is interested in the Saga that is Tameka and yes @Jane you are 100% dead on. My timeline was full with this today that was my issue with this story. I lived in the A for 10 years and I’m sorry to say I had no idea who she was until all this stuff came out about Usher and hers court case. In now every week there a new story about her whether she on Vacation or kids birthday or out clubbing but none of her actually going to work….. As we see with him all the time. What do she do might I ask???? I still believe that it’s enough already they are grown but this right her is just childish on both ends. I know there fiends but we can’t just report thing that make your friends look good as the media she has to check her facts as I stated and not be one sided. I heard about some legal issue Tameka was having and I also heard Usher was kicking her Out her house from the Site actually. So where the follow up???? what happened .. Do you think that she financially stable to support these kids??? …. I believe children should be with there mothers no matter what and hell they may work it out I hope so because Usher girlfriend Grace is a hot messy blah blah blah and that daughter forget. But I really think Tameka should use this time to get her self together so when she do get back in the ring it a straight knock out don’t you agree. And also maybe if she spent time with the other kids it’s would maybe work in her favor. I mean she didn’t just lose her child they lost a sibling as well. I mean just think about it sometimes the media can hurt you more then it help you. That all Im’m saying. Prayer to the 27 people who lost there lives.
- F.O
  
  What happened today is more than sad but this is a blog and this article is about Tameka Raymond ….I pray she gets a fair trial this time , she’s been through alot and deserves a break.
- Leslie Shields
  
  That old crooked bitch need to step off. Tameka you better Werk! Never give up baby girl.
- A.W.
  
  I’m just glad she stepped down because clearly she wasn’t given a fair trial. Any connections to a judge should be immediately disclosed in court it’s not smart to do otherwise. Even if you are playing by the books trying to be hush hush makes you look suspect. SMH for all the faith that is put into the judicial system it sure can break your faith.
- At Best
  
  Tameka is crazy and lazy. Atlien and Tameka needs to understand that Usher could care less about their obsession with him. He’s going to keep his kids, sell his crib, keep phucking Grace until he’s ready to move on, skydrive for planes and things as long as his money allows him to. All this crying, wining, blogging, breaking news BS can carry on. Tameka can keep being a twitter superstar, going on vacation to take half nake pictures in hopes to get his attention, stay dickless until the sun sets…U S H E R RAYMOND is going to stay RICH, and keep feeding his crumbs to the NEEDY Ms. FOSTER. While she waste her every waking min., and breath, wishing for a man , who has shows 10000000 signs that he’s not interested in her no more. That’s life sh* t happens!!!!
  
  stlchick
  
  People kill me commenting on the status of Tameka’s vagina. I got my own va-jay jay to tend to.
  Maybe she’s doing the mail man. Maybe she doesn’t need a man (some women are like that. Go figure).
- Vay
  
  First let me say kudos to you ATLien for NOT posting on the horrific tragedy that happened today. Every minute the story changed…one minute the mom worked at the school the next she had no affiliation (maybe a volunteer). How do you report something that the “media” couldn’t even get right?! Nevertheless in my opinion this was not the place for that…many people took to their facebook pages, twitter and even stopped to pray in respect for the victims. Unless you were physically there that’s all you could do…pray.
  
  I have said all along that I personally thought that Tameka’s legal team was not to be played with. Her attorney gave that Judge MORE than enough rope to hang herself with. Tameka’s attorney is a former Judge so that should have at least prompted Judge Lane to make sure she was being fair and unbiased. I personally think that when it is all said and done they will be right back at square one…joint custody. In the meantime folks will still hate Tameka (for breathing), Usher’s record sales with continue to resemble him skydiving and Grace will be somewhere sitting Indian-style with lit candles all around her, waving incense in the air as she hums for peace.
  
  With all of the tragic incidents that have accrued lately…16 year old committed suicide some say due to bullying, 19 year old gives her life to Christ one Sunday a few weeks ago, later that night her ex-boyfriend shoots and
  kills her, NFL player kills his child’s mother then himself and now this…life is short people! If nothing else let this be a wakeup call to release the drama and negativity. Today it was actually Tameka Raymond that tweeted “Imagine dressing ur child for his/her funeral, it’s unreal” THAT is going to be the reality for about 20 parents/guardians. Some of you will get that message right away for those that still harbor hatred and ignorance in your heart for ANYONE I’ll leave you with words from Iyanla Vanzant…maybe she can “fix “your life…” So tonight pray for someone you DON’T like or have treated poorly; pray for a child who is hurting; then pray for yourself to be & do better.”

  Why go back thru all of this? If the kids are fine where they are, why continue with this mess? TaManka, move on!
- Jamaal
  
  First of all Stevie Wonder could see that Tamek should have been given FULL CUSTODY of their kids. Usher fighting so hard was a personal issue and I believe HIS MOTHER played a part in it also. The entire time I was thinking, "who’s going to be caring for the kids when Usher is away…a damn nanny?" And not for nothing, since he’s been awarded the kids i’ve seen him partying the night away at clubs, cussing on the AMA’s, and jumping out of planes and ish…WHERE ARE/WHO HAS YOUR KIDS MAAAAN? Give that woman back her kids….
  
  bias
  
  A nanny with be taking care of kids when they are with Tameka. Its funny how people tend to criticize the father more for same things the mothers does too. We can only see what the media display. If no one takes pictures of him with his kids, then yall think he is no a good parent. Every thought that maybe he does not want them in the media?
  
  jalisa
  
  Agreed strongly. and they seem to forget that she give up her other kid’s to go running behind her "career "I mean Usher so now all of a sudden she super mom. They both playing games with there kids I have had enough of her DRAMA. Grow up put those ego to the side both of them stop playing I’m the better parent and actually be one to all your kids. if we learned anything. from the tragedy. in Conn is that tommorow not promised love your children everyday reguardless. Judge stepping does mean anything. She has to prove that she can provide stability and how can she do that still living in Usher house with no means to get on life and get her self together
  
  stlchick
  
  Tameka didn’t need this tragedy for a wake up call. She suffered her own this summer. Maybe that’s why she’s fighting so deligently.
  
  Lucille7777
  
  TEMEKA NEVER GAVE UP AN OF HER CHILDREN, SHE’S ALWAYS HAD CUSTODY OF HER KIDS WITH HER EX-HUSBAND, STOP PUSHING THAT LIE!!!!!

  Thank you for mentioning the sadness that we are experiencing here in CT. I too come to this webiste daily to laugh because this is an "entertainment" website, and I laugh my myself out of my trousers socks daily. But in my hometown things are just not funny in the last 24 hours. No the Raymonds are not breaking news, but from where I’m sitting they are fighting for children, we have lost a bunch of children with whom their parents can not fight for them because the coward shot himself. A fight is a fight and babies are babies. Tameka lost her son this past summer, and she is fighting for her 2 live babies. I think I have made my point. Please pray for us here in CT…..Thank you.
- bias
  
  The orders will not be reversed unless the motions are resubmitted. All orders are final. I have noticed that you only side with Tameka. These allegations against the judge are stupid. She did not step away because of the non valid investigation from CBS. Make sure your source has some legal experience before quoting them.
  
  Vay
  
  Nope I believe she stepped down because she didnt want to be exposed for what she did…If she did everything correctly and FAIRLY why step down? I think some are allowing their feelings for Tameka to cloud the fact that this woman did not receive a fair trial. I would not be surprised if this Judge dont retire after this…as a matter of fact maybe that is what she needs to do!Makes me wonder how many other cases she did this with…
  
  bias
  
  Yall are so clueless about the legal system. Buy a book then comment on something you KNOW!
  
  Vay
  
  There is nothing in a book that will tell me why this Judge FINALLY stepped down when initially she would not. You go buy a damn book and take a damn seat. Folks watch "court TV" then come on here like they know it all…get THEE hell out of here! lol
  
  Lucille7777
  
  The motions are in the works if not already processed, joint custody will be resumed as it hasn’t even been a month or so since the children were finally turned over by Tameka to Usher in November, so the children will and should be returned to the custody of Tameka while this case is re-litigated.
  
  This case is important not only to Tameka and her children but to all of us, not to have the court system bought and sold, totally corrupted by the likes of Usher and anyone with money.
  
  Those boys do not need to be separated from their mother, especially after losing their brother and given to Usher full time because he’s spiteful, immature and dangerous. Remember Usher rammed his mother’s care, with her in it, three times, and she could have been killed, yet I guess he paid her off too, to not press charges.
  
  Also, the court appointed psychiatrists should not be ignored as she said the children should remain with Usher and Usher’s psych evaluation was not good.
  
  All praise to God, he’s working to expose the wicked and bring those kids back to a safe and normal environment of their mother. Don’t believe the hype regarding Tameka, it’s Usher’s PR team at work.

  this is an entertainment blog morons, the tragedy in connecticut is not entertaining! duh! u want more news on that travesty go visit a world news website! tons of ’em
- Yep
  
  Its obvious you have a serious CRUSH on Usher..Im sure you won’t admit it but your Blog is Straight About Usher…Not the "A" Usher is Living his Life and Doing it Well..While you and Tameka Sit on the sidelines hating like the Stupid Bitchs you are. Just "Dumb" For no reason. It hasn’t been a year that Kile has died and this bitch hasn’t mourned like a real concerned loving mother would be.All on Twitter like nothing Happen. Narcissistic personality disorder is a personality disorder in which the individual is described as being excessively preoccupied with issues of personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity. This condition affects one percent of the population. First formulated in 1968, it was historically called megalomania, and it is closely linked to egocentrism…Fuck both of yall #InThatOrder Crazy Bitch…. Its clear from Day one she was only out for his money..Tameka does not care about Usher,she just want that life at any cost…Sad Hoes
  
  stlchick
  
  Yep, who are you to dictate how a person grieve? How about you focus on your own Usher crush.
  BTW, using profane insults is a sure, quick way to negate your whole point.
  Why don’t you go befriend Grace’s daughter so you can be closer to your idol? In another 30 years, he just may give you a pickle tickle.

  This judge made the correct decision by stepping down. However, no other judge is going to overturn her decision as it would not bode well for previous cases. The courts would be inundated with requests to rehear closed cases that were heard her in court. It has to be said that Tameka didn’t really strengthen her case for being the better parent by posting pictures of her drunk behind sleeping on her front stoop. What mother does that?

  The same mother that married a man that was recording singing kareoke in a bar drunk.

  Great. The new trial should be interesting to say the least.

  Y’all can have this BS. I just can’t today. It’s bad enough that a person killed his own mother, then went to her job and took the lives of innocent people, most of whom were children. I have to process that ugliness, and then come here and deal with this ugliness. THAT’s why our society is f*cked up, because people’s thinking is f*cked up. Can you state a comment without being so damn cruel and insulting? Can you type one comment about Tameka without calling her out of her name? Can you disagree with others without calling them a bitch or a hoe? Your vocabulary is that limited? Find Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Mohammed, Jehovah or whoever the hell you worship and pray for your enlightenment. there’s too much ugliness in the world already.
  
  I just can’t. Not today. And when I do come back, it won’t be to this thread.

  I think it is really sad that Tameka lost her child. I really have sympathy for her in that respect. But does that mean that she gets a free pass on all of her prior gold-digging antics? I read that someone else commented that Children should ALWAYS be with their mothers. WTF??? Fathers have rights too! Usher has every right to take her to court and ask for Full Custody. Maybe he doesn’t want anything like what happened to her son to happen to his two kids… We are such a Child Support culture. I have spoken to women that don’t care about anything but getting that check on time. Whether or not the Father sees the child is irrelevant! Sometimes its not for the best for a children to be with their mother. Why can’t men ever win? How about we just let the courts decide now that there is a non-biased judge.

  Praise God, thank you Jesus. The Lord God is working to expose the wicked and bring justice to Tameka and her boys, Amen.

  Along with conventional Japanese cuisines named (washoku),
  that means "Japanese food", there are a amount
  of foreign dishes identified as (yoshoku) indicating "foreign food" that
  have been imported, adapted and now deemed aspect of the Japanese menu.
  I also prefer to tidy in the kitchen at this time (you’ll be shocked just how much mess you have made in the last 5 steps). In addition, Hebei, Shanghai, Guangdong, the Northeast also have different system of law of the noodles. Typically, table salt is refined to a granular consistency, and then the purveyors of salt begin adding things. During the day, they spend most of their time in wallows, coating themselves with mud, which is thought to cool them and protect them from insects.

  If a fundraiser was held I think it was a brilliant idea. How akward it would be to sit in front of someone judging you and you have more than them.I would have done the exact same thing because my kids are the center of the matter. What a kind gesture to hold a fundraiser if possible because to me that shows how serious one party is versus the other.
