I’m sorry if you’re one of our readers who hates celebrity-oriented posts, but you were going to hear about this eventually. It might as well be from us.
First up, Usher. According to documents from a lawsuit, Usher infected a stylist with herpes and paid a hefty $1.1 million to settle the case. Radar Online reports:
Legal documents detailed how the eight-time Grammy winner — whose real name is Usher Raymond IV — had rigorous unprotected sex without disclosing he was stricken with the rabid virus.
Court papers also showed the former coach on NBC’s hit The Voice — whose divorce from first wifeTameka Foster was finalized in 2009 — was “exposed to herpes” in 2009 or 2010.
NY Daily News points out that it’s “illegal to knowingly or recklessly transmit an STD” in California, and that’s precisely what Usher did. Also–
In a disgusting revelation, a “greenish discharge” once oozed from the performer’s penis, but otherwise he had no signs of the infection and was labeled an “asymptomatic carrier” by doctors.
TMI TMI TMI!!!!!!!
Usher ultimately told his partner that it was nothing to be concerned about, so she continued her sexual relationship with him.
“Believing Raymond’s statements that it had been nothing and cleared up, [she] continued her relationship,” a lawyer for the victim wrote in a legal complaint for damages.
Their romps went without a hitch until three weeks after a passionate hookup when the victim — whose identity is being withheld by Radar — woke up “feeling very sick” with a “fever of 100 degrees, chills, headache, and aches and pains.”
She “also developed lesions and blisters in her vagina,” and was so terrified she sought treatment at urgent care, where a doctor promptly diagnosed her with herpes.
GROSS.
In other news, rumors are swirling that Kevin Hart cheated on his pregnant wife. He was spotted hanging out with some sort of beautiful “mystery woman” in Miami earlier this month. Radar Online’s “spies” spotted him getting a little too cozy with the woman in a Lexus. They hung out in the car for about 20 minutes.
“It’s obvious they were up to no good,” a source told Radar Online. “She kept looking over her shoulder and Kevin was pop-eyed when another guest walked by.”
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Hart hasn’t addressed this yet, but he has a history of cheating so…who knows.
Naturally, everyone is losing their minds. And not to be insensitive, but this tweet is legit cracking me up.
This Kevin Hart shit is burning me. Imagine marrying a man shorter than you for him to go cheat? While you’re pregnant with his midget child

SERIOUSLY. Men, you shouldn’t EVER cheat on your wife, but you should REALLY think twice if she’s taller than you because that just means she really, really loves you. (I could never date a guy shorter than me. I’m a #shortist I guess. But I’m pretty short so I think that’s reasonable.)
ANYWAY, Twitter.
