Another day, another twist in the herpes scandal surrounding Usher and his three accusers. One of his accusers, Laura Helm (who claims to have contracted genital herpes from Usher), has just filed new legal docs in response to Usher’s legal response to her $20 million lawsuit.

Usher’s Prior Legal Response To Accuser’s $20M Claim

As we previously reported, Usher -through his attorneys, Laura Wasser and Zia Modabber- filed a legal response to Helm’s $20 million claim a few weeks ago. In the court docs, he said that Helm, along with the other woman and man suing him, are all lying, stating that he never had sexual contact with them, nor does he have an STD. The docs also pointed out that even if Usher did do anything with them sexually, they “assumed the risk” of contracting an STD. But he also said their lawsuits should be tossed out because anything he did, was done unintentionally. After his response was made public, many are still confused.

$20 Million Dollar Accuser’s New Legal Response To Usher

Laura Helm’s legal team seemed to be crystal clear in her new legal response to Usher though. In new court records that surfaced early Tuesday (9-27-17), Ms. Helm gave an odd reaction to Usher. Check it out below.

Via TMZ: Laura Helm is the accuser from Georgia who’s suing him for $20 million — and in new docs, obtained by TMZ, she says it’s preposterous Usher is calling her out, saying she should’ve assumed STDs were a possibility when they hooked up. Helm says that means she would have to have knowledge of the specific danger — and there was no way for her to have that info because Usher kept his trap shut about it. Bottom line: consent to sex does not equal consent to risk of catching STDs. She’s essentially put the ball back in his court.

Laura previously stated that she and Usher had sex two times and that there was no romantic relationship between them. So although Usher’s response was a tad confusing, Helm’s response is odd. Why? Because if her story is correct, then they were just two consenting adults who had random sex. Therefore, there should always be an ‘assumption’ of the obvious risk – that if you have unprotected sex, both people are at risk to catch an unwanted gift that’s gonna keep on giving, so to speak.

At this point none of us know who’s being truthful until one of them is proven guilty in the court of law. So until then, we’ll keep y’all posted on this.
