His bottom line: where\u2019s the proof?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Usher, 38, wants one of those herpes lawsuits, which were filed against him on Aug. 7, to go away. In his first response to the claims from three different individuals (they say he allegedly infected them with herpes while knowing he had an STD), the singer says one of the two women doesn\u2019t have proof, according to TMZ. In Usher\u2019s new legal docs, which were obtained by the site, he states that the Atlanta woman\u2019s lawsuit doesn\u2019t say anything about whether she had been tested prior to their alleged sexual encounter. He said, \u201cA previous sexual partner very well may have already infected her.\u201d He also said, \u201cshe assumed the risk of getting herpes by having casual, unprotected sexual intercourse and\/or oral sex.\u201d Usher, however, does not deny that fact that he could have been the one to give her herpes. But he also doesn\u2019t admit he has herpes. Usher is asking the judge to throw out her lawsuit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">As we previously told you, two women and a man claimed in separate lawsuits, filed against Usher on August 7, that they allegedly had vaginal sex (woman) and oral sex (man) with the superstar, according to court docs, \u201cbecause [he] was a revered celebrity in their eyes who they believed could be loved and trusted.\u201d They\u2019re suing Usher for failing to disclose he allegedly had genital herpes before they allegedly hooked up. The lawsuit also claims that the plaintiffs \u201csuffered severe emotional distress, depression, and anxiety. They have also experienced embarrassment, shame, anxiety and revulsion,\u201d after allegedly being exposed to the infection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">The plaintiffs are asking for punitive damages, and want Usher to publicly reveal his alleged herpes diagnosis. Usher\u2019s alleged herpes diagnosis was first revealed when it was discovered that the singer allegedly settled a lawsuit for $1.1 million with an unnamed woman in 2012. Quantasia Sharpton is the only plaintiff in the new lawsuit to reveal her identity. The woman claimed in a press conference with lawyer Lisa Bloom that Usher allegedly picked her out of the crowd during a press conference. They then allegedly had sex. Details about when the other plaintiffs allegedly slept with the singer are unknown, but the lawsuit claims that one of them has tested positive for the STI.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">A source previously told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Usher felt \u201cembarrassed and horrible about the herpes story involving him. He doesn\u2019t want to talk about it, hopes people forget about it, and can\u2019t wait for the whole thing to go away.\u201d Unfortunately, that\u2019s not going to happen anytime soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0http:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2017\/08\/24\/usher-reacts-herpes-lawsuit-no-proof-std\/<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/celebrities\/usher-slams-herpes-lawsuit-woman-no-proof-gave-std.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usher has finally responded after multiple people recently accused him of giving them herpes.
