Usher is saying hit the brakes! The singer has been involved in the most scandalous story of his career, after several people have threatened to sue the singer over allegations that he has herpes and did not tell them before engaging in sexual activity. On Monday, 21-year-old Quantasia Sharpton held a press conference in New York City to address her lawsuit, but Usher is reportedly not having it.

According to reports, the 38-year-old, who has remained silent publicly about the fiasco, is denying he would ever have had sex with Quantasia, though it is plausible he brought her onstage during one of his shows.

He “looks to bring a diverse group of people up onstage, not just supermodels,” an insider said.

During the press conference, Quantasia claimed that when she was 19-years-old, she and her friends went to a concert of his, were approached by security for her number, and spent time with Usher after one of his shows when he headed to her hotel, before they engaged in sexual contact. He allegedly did not tell her he had any STD.

Though she has since tested negative for herpes, she said, “I was upset by the reports because I would have never consented if I would have known. I would not have taken a risk of getting an incurable disease. My health is really important to me. I feel that my rights were violated.”

However, since her conference, there have been holes in her story, as it came to light she wrote a Facebook status about needing money shortly before she spoke about the allegations. On top of that, she was accused by friends of making up lies about other celebrities in the past, including actor Keith Powers and singer August Alsina.
