Tameka Foster found out about her divorce from Usher Raymond online just like everybody else. She lived with him, married him and is the mother of his two children but she found out by her friends calling her up asking “are you ok.”
“It was rumored (on the internet), so friends and family called, saying, ‘Are you OK?’ I didn’t really understand why,” Foster told People magazine. “But Usher and I weren’t really speaking then. He was away recording, and I was angry at other things going on. He filed two days later.” (more…)

So Usher is supposedly going through the baby moma drama, stalkerish type ish from his soon to be ex-wife, Tameka Foster. TMZ reports that Usher Raymond recently called the cops on Tameka accusing her of sneaking onto his property and scratching up one of his cars.
Law enforcement sources say when officers arrived at the scene, Tameka Raymond was nowhere to be found.
Police later interviewed both Tameka and Usher — but determined there was no evidence or witnesses to substantiate Usher’s claim. But the drama didn’t end there — law enforcement sources tell us Usher called the cops on Tameka a second time several days later, complaining that Tameka again got onto his property and wouldn’t leave. By the time cops arrived, Tameka had already split.
This isn’t the first time Tameka’s been accused of stalking, harassment etc. This chick really is proving ATLien right!

Sooo a ridiculous rumor has emerged that the recent blog entry I wrote for the Huffington Post was plagiarized. Wow!! This is an unfounded insinuation that has no basis, merit or truth. I’ve never heard of this author or her book until Thursday afternoon. African-American women struggling with complexion issues is not a novel or an original topic. It’s an issue that has been written about for ages. Numerous African-American publications and online sites have addressed this topic. Even the Tyra Banks Show devoted an entire segment to it.

OH NO SHE DIDN’T! Tameka Foster, Usher’s soon to be ex, is being accused of plagiarizing an essay she wrote for the Huffington Post, entitled “She’s Pretty for a Dark-Skinned Girl … ” Aisha Curry, who penned the book “Pretty for a Black Girl,” claims that the work is in fact hers, and not that of Usher’s ex. Says Curry: “I cannot and will not say she stole my idea, because you never should assume. However, I will say that it seemed like one heck of a coincidence, and everything I touched on, she did.”
Tameka Foster isn’t that smart, she’s very desperate and also very sloppy so I believe Aisha Curry! source

Tameka Raymond says she gave Usher Raymond that good stuff, the putty, a week before he filed for divorce. I guess Usher wanted it one last time. Tameka states in her newly filed court documents that she and Usher haven’t been separated since July 2008 and, in fact, were “intimately together” less than a week before he started divorce proceedings. She had “every reason to believe her marriage was intact,” her attorney stated in documents filed Monday in Atlanta. Guess it wasn’t that good.

ESSENCE.com sat down with Tameka’s friend of 20-plus years Nyeisha DeWitt, an educator and doctoral candidate, to set the record straight on all the rumors and why she’s fed up with the blogosphere painting an ugly picture of her BFF.
ESSENCE.COM: Many are probably wondering why you’re choosing to speak now after Tameka endured a hailstorm of criticism for years.
NYEISHA DEWITT: Let me first say that I hope Tameka and Usher can salvage things as a couple. I’ve known Tameka since I was in middle school and she was in high school, and we’ve been friends since. It’s not that I have to defend her or speak on her behalf as if she’s done something wrong, but I simply want people to know everything they read about her isn’t true. It hurts me to read the lies that people write and say about her.

R&B star Usher’s estranged wife Tameka Raymond believes the superstar’s camp has been purposely smearing her during the couple’s bitter divorce battle. A source close to the couple spoke to RadarOnline.com exclusively about the behind-the-scenes turmoil including the truth about the DNA test rumors and how Tameka continues to wear her wedding ring. “[Tameka] is spitting mad against the campaign that has been waged against her just before Usher filed for divorce in Atlanta,” the source said. “He could have had the papers sealed but chose not to and stories were being leaked about the divorce two days before the papers were actually filed at Atlanta’s Superior Court. The source also pointed out some inaccuracies in the information that has been put forth about the couple’s split and relationship. (more…)
