Usher’s ex-wife Tameka Raymond sat down for an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight and the popular show plans on airing Part 1 tonight (September 25). Tameka opens up about the courts awarding Usher primary custody of their kids following a bitter battle; she responds to accusations that she is a gold digger; and she talks about the heartbreaking recent loss of her son in a jet skiing accident.
She also spoke a bit about Usher sleeping with one of her bridesmaids (which he admitted to during his interview with Oprah) and how she actually empathizes with her former friend:
“He admitted to sleeping with one of the two. It was a very disappointing revelation. I had suspected it for some time,” she says, adding surprisingly, “I hate to say it, but I somewhat empathize with her. … She fell into somewhat of a trap.”
She must not have any real friends, if her bridesmaid would sleep with her husband.
I think this is a personal matter. I’m not sure why either one of them think that every detail of their divorce and court proceedings need to be aired out publicly.
Sadly…My Life is so lonely .how about you?I am a rich and single man at present .I need a woman who can love me back .I also uploaded my hot photos on –Millionairetαg.ｃｏm –under the name of jeff1098..It’s the largest and best club for seeking CEOs, pro athletes, doctors, lawyers, investors, entrepreneurs, beauty queens, fitness models, and Hollywood celebrities.Please Check it out!I’m serious.te
I know one thing…this is not the time for this. If you want the public to empathize with you. Try to remember who you were in this mess from the get go. The two of you were messy to start with. Cheating on your signifigant others and now trying to look like victims. B.I.C.T.H. *in that order* to the both of you…have a seat! Nobody wants to hear you crying about your man was a cheater when you were a cheater your damn self. It’s called KARMA *pointing to the corner* now go over there and SIT DOWN!
I so agree with you!
According to her former husband they were legally separated at the time she started dating Usher and he was dating his now wife at the time.
OMG Tameka sit the hell down. Im tired of females like this they aint nothing but a baby mama and they hunt their baby daddy and the new female he date down. GET YOUR DAMN LIFE
I know that’s right DLOVE. You hit the nail on the head.
I agree….she knows she messed up and all she can do to stay current and keep $ in the bank is by dragging this foolishness out.. her next money move should be a tell all book titled… “EFF’ED UP A GOOD THING! — A how to guide to ensure that your mouth doesn’t write a check your a$$ can’t cash”… I can’t wait for her moment of fame to die!

OMG DLOVE!! I need you to create a blog immediately, and if you dont already have one!! That is SOOO TRUE and Hilarious! You just made the rest of my week with this comment.
Trap!? miss me w/ it. No way my friend sleeps w the dude I’m about to marry n not get an ol good ass whoopin’ …yea she set that up! still cool w/ the friend naaaaaaaaaaaa
Wow! her relationship was doomed from the beginning.
Even if you don’t know the word is “Empathize”…it’s right there in the italicized comment lifted from the interview. I read it a few times like…what is she trying to say? LOL
She should have gotten herself together first,before doing an interview. She always looks thirsty. She doesn’t look healthy at all.
All about themselves; getting what they want and smearing each other’s names. When is it ever about the kids?
Actually Usher never said anything bad about Tameka, the only thing he said about her was that they will never be friends. He never bash her parental skills or said she was crazy and evil. Tameka has been the one who been dragging Usher name threw the mud ex: twitter rants; personal blogs; having her friends talk to these gossip website spreading nasty rumors about Usher. Usher has only done one interview discussing this topic and that was with Oprah, he has stated that that will be his only interview addressing his marriage to Tameka. Tameka is clearly bitter and it seems that she hates and loves Usher with a passion. If Usher wanted her back she would go running, remember he is the one who filed for the Divorce, I bet Tameka fought tooth and nail to save her marriage.
They both are attention-hungry. Look at her trying to feign emotion. I hope their kids manage to grow up well-balanced and good people, although it seems hard when their parents are narcisstic and vengeful.
Well she still has to eat (especially since those child support checks are no longer coming in) She’s gonna milk this story dry.
This females has had more misfortunes then a little bit.. All occurring within a three year span. Instead of running to ET,she should be running to GOD. She needs to step back and check herself…
I honestly feel that this is a person matter, I know they are both in the public eye. but they have to be careful about what they say about the other because their children will see this and know who both there parent’s on base on their actions and character.
she got 25k for this interview…
No wonder. In that case…
That won’t even put a dent in her cell phone bill…
She should have just kept her mouth shut. She’s just angry that she will no longer taste Usher’s money anymore. Had she been quiet and bahaved herself after the divorce, she would have still had her kids and a meal ticket. Just shut up and go away already.
*behaved
Most American women are “gold diggers”.
hate to admit it but Hellrazer I have to agree.
I can tell who doesn’t get out much. LOL The reason you can fix your mouth to say that is because this site caters to Americans… But these same stories are going on around the world.
Another made up word for broke men to use.
So if she is a baby mama hunting her next victim down, what does that makes Usher? He did sleep with her, marry her and gave her two babies. Now he wants sole custody so his gay azz want have to pay child support. If anything, Tameka, bridemaid and all the rest better get some blood tests. Cause I’m sure he been booty banging Tommy,Tim and Frank….hell he might even banged John Travolta. I’m sick of how some of you gold digging bishes always talking about women like Tameka. Not her fault you could only get the local drug dealer,lol. Usher aired out his dirty gay laundry, so let her air out hers.
Tameka is a beautiful woman.
I’M SORRY SHE LOST A SON AND CUSTODY OF HER OTHER KIDS..BUT I’M SURE THERE IS A DEEPER REASON WHY USHER WANTED FULL CUSTODY. I HOPE THEIR ABLE TO GET ALONG FOR SAKE OF KIDS. NOW AS FAR AS THE BRIDEMAID SLEEPING WITH USER..ALL I HAVE TO SAY WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND, BECAUSE FROM HEARING THE STORIES AROUND WHAT WENT DOWN BETWEEN USHER AND CHILLI..I THINK SHE WAS MESSING WITH USER WHILE HE WAS STILL WITH CHILLI.
Why usher marry this saggy ass old chick? I understand some dudes be wanting some elderly pussy every once in a while but he had to MARRY her? Damn.
I WISH TAMEKA WOULD GO SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE…..THAT’S THE PROBLEM SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN TOO PUBLIC….SHE WANTS TO BE THE STAR…..WELL THEN FIND A TALENT AND BECOME A STAR ON YOUR OWN TERMS….STAY OUT OF USHER’S SPOTLIGHT
OPPORTUNIST NEVER SLEEPS…..WHAT NEXT A BOOK DEAL….SHE IS SOO TIRED
IM NOT EVEN A HUGE MORE LIKE MILD USHER FAN….BUT THIS CHICK GETS ON YOUR NERVES….IT SEEMS THAT SHE SPENDS MORE TIME TALKING AND PURSING DO HER THAN ANYTHING ELSE
PURSING DOING ME PHILOSOPHY OF LIVING…..DO YOU BOO…OFF USHERS’S COATTAILS…..GET YOUR OWN GIG
PURSUING USHERS’
TYPING TOO FAST….SHE IRKS ME
WHY THROW HIM UNDER THE BUS NOW….REVENGE….AND A LADY WOULD JUST KEEP IT ON MUTE AND MOVE ON
OH, AND THE POSSIBLE BOOK DEAL
SHE IS AN IMMATURE OLDER WOMAN
i kno dat srite she crazy as hell wats fuckin wronge with her……
Did even watch the video but she needs to fallback and take time to grieve for her son
Damn he ugly! Goodness gracious. She look like Usher with a wig. Now I see why he cheated. I would cheat too.
LOLL!! Come on now. Be nice…
Usher should have listened to his mom. But as they say, there is nothing like “bought” sense.
“Um…she looka like a man” *Ms. Swan voice*
She needs to mourn the loss of her son and figure out how to get at least joint custody of the 2 she has with Usher. Later for the paps and what people think.
