Usher’s Ex-Wife Faces 60-Day Countdown to Possible Eviction

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

R&B star Usher Raymond will decide the fate of his ex-wife’s living conditions in the next 60 days.

In an attempt to settle a malicious dispute, Usher and Tameka Foster are deadlocked in mediation. The biggest matter of contention appears to be Usher’s Georgia mansion. Foster currently lives in the house with Usher’s permission, subject to displacement if told to leave the property. Given the legalities of their divorce settlement Usher can sell the house at his discretion, which Foster claims will leave her homeless and buried in legal debt. He has yet to finalize her removal but can move forward with her eviction if a 60-day notice is provided.

Foster has suggested she receive a permanent home for her and Raymond’s children, sparking the fuse to a heated legal debate. Raymond responded “No way, no how” to the purchase of new property and highlighted the amount of money she has received throughout their relationship.

In addition to the complexities of their legal battle, Raymond and Foster fight to maintain full custody of their two children. Agreeing to end their original compromise, which was joint custody, their new battle has fueled Foster’s decision to ridicule the actions of her ex-husband. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Foster claims that Usher is unfit for parenting, accusing Raymond of failing to fulfil his legal obligations as a father.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
