Usher's Ex-Wife Tameka Foster's Appeal Is Thrown Out

Posted byBy Taylor Gordon | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Tameka Foster decided to try for a round two in the custody battle over her children with Usher Raymond, but the courts have ruled against her once again.

Earlier this month, Usher was awarded primary custody over the couple’s two sons after what seemed like an endless custody battle in the courts, but Tameka wasn’t happy with that ruling.

The R&B star’s ex-wife claimed that the judge was biased, ruling in favor of Usher simply because his lawyer donated to her reelection campaign in 2008.

It seems as if Tameka took this judge as a fool, but she made it known quickly that the bitter ex-wife wasn’t going to get one over on her.

According to TMZ the judge called Tameka out on her late timing and failure to look into public documents on her own.

The lawyer’s donations have been public knowledge since 2008 and if Tameka Foster really thought it was a problem she should have spoken up about the issue early on in the case, not after she lost.

Unfortunately, Tameka has been known to be unusually headstrong, or stubborn, and still won’t let the custody battle come to an end.

A source very close to Usher’s ex-wife claimed that Tameka will be filing for an appeal again, although the source isn’t sure exactly what will be the grounds for this appeal.

With another stage to the custody battle still a possibility, one can only hope that the children will see an end to their parents’ relentless feuding soon.

 

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.
