Usher: You Assume The Risk, You Can't Sue

When you have casual, unprotected sex, you assume the risk of catching an STD. That’s why Usher feels that Laura Helm’s lawsuit against him should be thrown out. 

Usher filed paperwork in Georgia to dispute Laura’s claims. He said, “With a one in six chance that any given partner could have genital herpes, [she] assumed the risk of contracting an STD each and every time she chose to have unprotected sex with a casual, consensual partner.” 

Laura allegedly told a friend two days before filing the suit that she and Usher had protected sex all the time. However, her $20 million dollar suit claimed that on occasion they didn’t use a condom.
