Tameka Foster-Raymond, Usher's soon to be ex wife says they were intimate just days prior to divorce papers being filed !
Foster Raymond, filing documents in Fulton County Monday, disputes Usher's paperwork that says the marriage was "irretrievably broken". In fact, the mother of the Grammy winner's two boys, says the notation that they have been separated since July of 2008 is incorrect.
She had "every reason to believe her marriage was intact," Foster-Raymond's attorney wrote in official documents filed Monday. This after, she confirmed that they had been "intimately together" on June 6 (six days before the divorce filing).
Usher filed for divorce Friday, June 12, sparking a series of interviews, including a recent Essence hosted chat with Foster-Raymond's friend Nyeisha Dewitt.
In that interview, Dewitt claims her good friend knew they were having problems:
"She didn’t know that he was going to file. Of course, she knew that there were challenges in their relationship and had been some discord since March and was aware there were some things that needed to be worked through. But did she know that divorce was imminent? No. It was a total surprise," Dewitt told Essence.
Nonetheless, Tameka Foster Raymond is focused on maintaining her family life and asked the judge (in the Monday filing) to ensure that Usher pays for family expenses and court costs related to their ongoing divorce.

This is for Janet - I can't let your ignorance slide. JiggaWHO? You need to get off of the Internet and go and clean your trailer. There's a stereotype for you
I agree with Sam. Nobody is really paying attention to this, especially since Micheal's passing even though it has nothing to do with Usher's divorce.
I hate this guy. He thinks he all that. He so ugly skinny dork. He like all the rest of the jiggaboo who thinks there all that like Diddy, kanye west all those blacks think there all that in real life they are one ugly men. If you have money that why people will like them is there money but they know they dont really care for them.
Sad! Just Sad!
Judging by the lack of comments everytime Singersroom post a new Usher-divorce update, I think no one really cares and aren't surprised! What kills me is how people have not moved on after all these years from Usher and Chilli for she has moved on! Yeah, we don't know these artists personally, but actions speak for themselves! In any divorce, people take sides and unfortunately for Tameka, the public has been on Ushers! I am a fan of his, but the irony of this divorce is he should've put just as much thought into his "decision" to get married as he does spending time putting together his album projects! With 2 kids and apparently no pre-nup, he should've applied the same business sense to his personal life as he did when negotiating his multi-million dollar contract with his label! As much time he has spent in dance rehearsals, he could've put just as much effort in his decision to get married as well! Best of luck to Usher!
Why is everybody so against Tameka? Usher proposed and married this woman. He fathered to children with her. It's not like he's some inexperienced, naive young boy who had never been in a relationship. He's cheated, lied and broken other women's hearts including Chili. So I don't understand all the sympathy for him and the hate towards Tameka. People act like they PERSONALLY know this woman... this is ridiculous. Don't get me wrong... I like Usher's music. However, I would say that based on his previous behavior... he's due for a heavy dose of KARMA and as they say its a MF!!
Continuation part 2: Usher fan forever, but the truth had to be told.
You have got to be kidding me , how in the world can Tameka have thought they were still going to be together when the man moved out the home and has been away from you a whole year, and never saw a divorce coming!? And I hope for Usher's sake he did not sleep with his soon to be ex-wife days before the divorce papers. Somebody is lying and I pray it's Tameka, if not Usher, baby you are going to pay for your big mistake! Mama Jettena, friends,Family, and fans warned you, but you had to be stubborn. The good that has come out of this is those two beautiful boys. Usher please think with your head and not what's in your pants or what's behind the woman clothes, its not worth it. I know this will be a lesson learned for Usher, big time especially if he has to give up half his money to Tameka, but for some reason I don't think Tameka will get as much. Usher is fighting this tooth and nail with a side dish of, "I told you so from mama and fans".
