I would not want to do that if I were him," Bloom said. I generally would not be encouraging somebody to reveal their personal medical information about STDs to the public. The lawsuit didn't specify how much money the plaintiffs are seeking in damages, but Bloom noted her clients are requesting for Usher to either contact his sexual partners if the diagnosis is true or make a public statement to put people's minds at ease. However, some states have regulations that would result in misdemeanor and felony charges for the reckless and intentional spreading of STDs such as herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia.Īlthough convictions typically only occur when an infected person actually transmits the disease to someone else, in some states-like California, New York, New Jersey, Georgia, Alabama and several others-nondisclosure of infection status to a sexual partner is considered a crime even if the disease is not transmitted. In all 50 states, it is illegal to intentionally or recklessly spread a sexually transmitted disease such as HIV or AIDS without notifying a sex partner of the disease. So on the simple side, if indeed positive for herpes, he has a duty to warn and he is liable for exposure even if the other person is negative for herpes." "But we're not going to the police, we're filing a civil lawsuit. "In California, there's a health and safety code provision that says if you have an STD you have a legal obligation to warn your sex partner, and if you don't it's a crime," Bloom told Newsweek via phone call. However, according to California law, even victims who have only been unknowingly exposed to a sexually transmitted disease are within their rights to file a lawsuit. Its krazy dis chick speakin out bout Usher but she don't have herpes talkin bout she feel her rights were violated. We spoke for a while, and then we engaged in sexual contact," she said. I got a call from Usher on a blocked number, asking me what hotel I was staying in and the room number. "After the show, my friends and I returned to the hotel. The guard requested her number on behalf of Usher, claiming that the father-of-two was interested in her. Sharpton said she was celebrating her 19th birthday at an Usher concert when she was handpicked by one of the Confessions singer's security guards and selected to go back stage. ![]() In a press conference held on Monday, Sharpton said it was a few years ago when she had sex with Usher, who married his second wife, Grace Miguel, in 2015. ![]() ![]() A man, listed under the name John Doe for privacy purposes, also claimed to have engaged in oral sex with Usher without being aware of his health status. Superstar singer Usher could be held liable for allegedly exposing sexual partners to herpes, even if those partners don't contract the virus-at least in some states.Īfter settling a $1.1 million lawsuit by a woman who claimed to have contracted herpes from Usher, the platinum-selling artist is facing another lawsuit involving three others who claim the platinum-selling artist exposed them to the sexually transmitted disease.Ī lawsuit filed on Monday in California by attorney Lisa Bloom claimed Usher had vaginal sex with two women-identified as Quantasia Sharpton and the other as Jane Doe-both of whom said they consented to sexual intercourse with the "Let it Burn" singer but had not been made aware of his alleged herpes infection beforehand. ![]()
