The Drama Continues
BV Columnist Jawn Murray composed one hell of a read regarding the current drama surrounding Usher and Tameka’s marriage. A “friend” of the couple contacted Murray to dish about Usher’s cheating heart but didn’t offer any real insight on the situation. But that didn’t stop the shit from hitting the fan.
After checking out this alleged extramarital affair I realized that the dates in question were improbable because Usher and the alleged mistress were in two separate countries for two and a half months of this alleged affair.
(I know a lot of people are into phone and cyber sex, but what’s the point of having an affair if you aren’t in the same country with your alleged jump-off!)
Further research allowed me to discover that days after my call from the “friend” of the Raymonds – this being the same weekend as the opening of Tyler Perry’s studio in Atlanta to be specific – the singer in question and several of her associates got a call from Foster-Raymond tipping them off that this story was bubbling under and that “someone had warned her about it.”
Upset, confused and completely blindsided, said singer then phoned Usher, who was both shocked and outraged by the whole ordeal.
Sources close to the situation tell me that this caused him to reach his breaking point and he made it clear that he believed his wife was behind the entire thing.
Apparently prior to this happening, the couple was already residing in separate residences – her at the main house and him at his old estate that is currently on the market.
I am also told that this is why he did not attend the festivities surrounding Perry’s studio opening with her and even left the brunch Perry hosted soon after his wife arrived.
Lastly, though Foster-Raymond showed up at his birthday dinner at Mansion in Atlanta last week, it was clear to most in attendance that their lack of interaction spoke volumes about the reality of this relationship.
Several sources told me that she arrived more than an hour late, appeared to be upset for unknown reasons upon her arrival and despite sitting at the host table next to Usher, it appeared that he made it his business to stay as far away from her as possible throughout the dinner and never once posed for photos together.
More so, I am told that the 30-year-old star really wanted to wait until after Foster-Raymond gave birth to his second child in December before deciding whether to dissolve this marriage or not – because after the backlash he received in 2007 from the fallout with his mother, the last thing he wanted was to now be perceived as a man abandoning his pregnant wife!
