Usher slammed with $20m lawsuit over Herpes infection
![]() |
Usher is now facing a $20 million lawsuit from the woman he reportedly infected with Herpes. |
The
woman whose identity remains unknown initially sued the veteran R&B
singer for $10 million but up the amount after she tested positive to
the STD.
TMZ reports that new legal docs filed by Jane Doe, says she was devastated when she got the results on Saturday, July 22.
According
to the reports, the woman said she carried out the tests as soon as she
heard that Usher had admitted that he has herpes simplex 2.
She first sued the singer after she claimed that they had unprotected sex earlier this year.
According to the legal documents, she is now suing him for emotional harm, medical bills and punitive damages.
Recall
that there were reports that Usher paid the woman $1.1 million to
settle the initial lawsuit for infecting her with the venereal disease.
The 'Confessions' star had unprotected sex with the claimant without confessing that he was carrying the virus.
In
California, it is illegal to knowingly or recklessly transmit a
sexually transmitted disease. Usher allegedly did that when he told the
victim he had tested negative for the virus, despite a “greenish
discharge” from his penis.
