Usher Settles Herpes Lawsuit at 1.1 Million

•  STD’s such as herpes are a tricky affair — there’s a stigma surrounding it that can at times be disproportionate to the effects of the disease — while at the same time the disease’s lack of cure can be very serious. There’s only one rule — you have to disclose your status to your partners before you engage. This is something Usher has failed to do, and after infecting a partner, has been successfully sued by her for the amount of 1.1 million dollars.  Usher was first diagnosed with herpes back in 2009 or 2010 — and the lawsuit happened in 2012, although Radar only very recently obtained the documents regarding the lawsuit. In California, where Usher hails from — it is illegal to knowingly not disclose your status. Usher has paid up 1.1 million and has since apologized to the woman.  What do you think of this Usher story? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter at @WhatsTrending.
