For weeks now there has been speculation that Grammy winning superstar Usher was close to filing divorce. Today, In Touch Weekly sources say the “Here I Stand” star has filed for divorce in Atlanta ! “Usher’s primary concern is for his (two) children, he is a great father and just wants to do what is right for them,” an insider told the magazine. Claiming Usher has been living “apart from his wife for nearly a year,” In Touch’s source says the singer has numerous reasons for stepping away from his wife of two years — Tameka Foster Raymond. One of those reasons could be Raymond’s decision to travel to Brazil for what turned out to be a near fatal cosmetic procedure. “(he) had no idea that she was there to have surgery,” the source claims. In related news, Tameka Raymond exchanged words with an Atlanta based blogger over the weekend. Said blogger, attacked the mother of Usher’s two boys, tweeting (twitter) “checking to see if a married man can’t creep with his product manager while his wife sits on Twitter.” Addressing a woman, that has now been confirmed to be a product manager at Def Jam working with Usher for business purposes (that was spotted and photographed alone with Usher) the blogger went on to say “So what if that girl is a product manager. Weren’t you Usher’s stylist? And weren’t you married at the time?” Foster, after ignoring the blogger for some time, responded “She is ugly, mad ‘cuz she has no man, can’t find a good woman, sh–‘s all bad!!! I’d be salty nuts too…ya’ll sing Kum by Ya for her….lol.” Foster Raymond has since claimed that she will not address rumors stemming from her marriage to Usher. Usher has been seen for weeks without his wedding ring as well. His mother, Jonetta Patton is also back in the picture. She was retired and then rehired after skipping the couple’s numerous wedding ceremonies and being rumored to have filed a restraining order against Foster-Raymond. An official statement is likely to be released…. developing story…
