Tameka Foster-Raymond Files Motion for New Trial

@MissMiami

She never had any of these problems SHARING custody with Ryan so I don’t know why people are so quick to jump down her throat and make it seem like she’s the one in the wrong here. What mother would sit back and accept the taking of her custodial rights because her ex has more money, status and was crooked enough to hire a lawyer with connections to the judge? If all of this is true, that means that she didn’t get justice because justice was sold to the highest bidder. And no telling how many other good parents were caught up in the same mess. Usher is on the road, alot, and in the studio so basically those boys are about to be raised by his girl, his mama and whatever nanny he manages to keep for more than a few months at a time. That isn’t a childhood and no mother worth her salt would sit back and say oh, that’s okay. Fvck that

@Daisy and Elove

His money comes into play for the simple fact that he had the money to hire the kind of attorney’s who had a judge in their pocket. Because of his celebrity status he’s the automatic favorite in this court battle and has been throughout their entire relationship. Because of his position and his sex symbol ( cause I don’t see what they see) status, women (and a lot of men) were already against this woman cause she wasn’t “good enough” for Ms. Usher Raymond the IV (or whatever). Is there any actual evidence that she’s crazy like everybody says? I know there’s supposed to be police reports on her thefts (I’ve never seen these but I’ve heard there’s proof on that) but that doesn’t mean she can’t raise her kids and it doesn’t mean she hasn’t turned over a new leaf. Supposedly she has a bad attitude to strangers in public… well so do a lot of yall who don’t have cameras and people selling stories to blogs for a buck about you. None of that means this woman is incapable of raising her children. Matter of fact, she’s successfully raised one to adulthood, co parented with another 2, and nothing has happened to those boys on her watch. Any of the children for that matter. And her ex husband has NEVER once spoken one word against her or her parenting skills. So again, why shouldn’t this woman have custody of her babies??

@Luv agreed. The hatred toward this woman is disgusting and the fact that people who’ve been known to hate her over the years are looking at this case and saying something ain’t right yet people who’ve never met her and aren’t privy to the facts of the case are saying she deserves it is even more sickening. Crazy thing about all of it though… I honestly think in the beginning Usher’s mama was behind all the initial blog stories and attacks on Tameka and that once they split he picked up the reigns. Just my opinion of course but I’ve never seen a woman bashed in the media for barely any cause like this one

Charley, he has to pay child support so that the boys will have the same benefits when they are with their mother, if he retains custody. Most of the time in normal relationships, this doesn’t matter all that much, however in cases like this where the income difference is so great you get the richer parent paying child support.

And secondly, I have a major issue with any entertainer (male or female) who puts their career before their child because I know what it feels like to grow up with a parent who’s career comes first and I also know how it feels to know that your parent sacrificed their career for you but won’t let you forget it. That being said, yes female entertainers do it all the time HOWEVER a big chunk of those same female entertainers plan their tour schedules, album releases around their childs schedule but even then alot of children of celebrities don’t turn out as they could because they are constantly traveling, around other people and being influenced in all different ways. That is stressful for children which is why they’d be better off with some stability in their life, like their mother.

and 3. No a woman can’t teach a boy to specifically be a man, but that doesn’t mean all women should give their sons to the father for raising either. I may not know the day to day of being a man because I’m missing a penis but that doesn’t mean my son will not grow up to be intelligent, respectful, strong, independant, carry himself well and know how to walk, talk, act, think and be a man either.

Clearly, you are one of those men who feels they got the short end of the stick, I’m sorry for that but don’t let your personal experience color your perspective on every custody battle either
