Usher’s Wedding Party Mistress Revealed – Along With Shade From Tameka
Source: Rollingout.com
About two weeks ago Tameka and her lawyer threw out a nasty allegation that Usher slept with two of her bridesmaids while they were married and now we have a face and a name to match one of those women.
The name is Mya Fox Davis and she definitely was in the couple’s wedding party; and from the second photo, she was extra cozy with Usher and Tameka’s son, kissing him all in the mouth and whatnot. Tameka’s lawyer outed the woman in court and said that one of the couple’s nannies left Miami because she discovered Usher in bed with her while the couple was on a family vacay. If there is any ounce of truth to that I take back the sympathy I felt for him crying on the stand the other week.
Mya sent out an interesting tweet after pictures of her went viral, saying “Loose lips, sink ships.” But Tameka read that message and fired back a one-liner that was even better:
“Really?? first U creep now U tweet. Loose lips sink ships huh??..more like Loose chicks turn tricks!”
Tameka might get a recording contract soon if she keeps rhyming like that. I kid. But so much for her being “done responding 2 this stuff.” Once the other girl’s identity hits the net, it’s going to be the wild wild west of Twitter feuds for this situation.
What do you think? Is Mya admitting she slept with Usher?

Come Again? Tameka Raymond Says Usher Slept With 2 of Her Bridesmaids

When I say I really hope this story isn’t true, I mean I really hope this isn’t true. Things are getting very heated in Usher and Tameka Raymond’s custody proceedings and both sides are throwing out wild accusations about the other—although none as sensational as Tameka claiming Usher slept with, not one, but two, of her bridesmaids.
This bomb was apparently dropped during court proceedings last week and was a response to testimony from several nannies who worked for the couple and said that Tameka was negligent, she didn’t have schedules or instructions related to the children, she was sporadic with the pay, and that none of them would work for her ever again. In response to the claims, Tameka’s attorney said that her client was under a great deal of stress at the time and was depressed because Usher had revealed to her that he slept with two of her bridesmaids.
That accusation was the last straw for Usher who reportedly stormed out of the courtroom during recess and was heard mumbling: “Now I am sleeping with her bridesmaids?”
I obviously can’t say whether that’s true or not but all I know is that if someone I was married to for a hot minute really slept with two members of my bridal party, there’s no way I would still be walking around with his last name after the divorce was final. I’m thinking Tameka might just be pulling out all the stops to get the cash and the kids—and that house that Usher owns and can kick her out of with just 60 days notice. Also, Usher hasn’t really said anything crazy about his ex-wife, the nannies are ruining her motherly image bad enough for him, which again makes her accusations seem just a tad bit on the shady side. Poor Ursh–unless of course this story is true, then he deserves whatever he gets.
What do you think? Is Tameka just making stuff up at this point?

A Boon for Nannies, if Only They Knew
(New York Times) — Patricia Francois prowled the American Museum of Natural History on a recent afternoon, looking for nannies. She spotted two, with their charges, sitting in the inky gloaming beneath the famous blue whale, and zeroed in. Ms. Francois, an organizer for the advocacy group Domestic Workers United, asked the women if they were familiar with the state’s new Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights, better known as the “nanny law.” The two nannies, both from the West Indies, shook their heads. “We have to stick together,” urged Ms. Francois, a Trinidadian, handing them pamphlets describing the measure. “What we have is people power.” More than seven months after the bill was signed into law with some fanfare, most domestic workers and their employers seem unaware of it, and its impact on the often-fluid business arrangements between the two groups appears to have been negligible, say nannies, labor advocates, state officials and others. The law is the only one in the nation to offer specific protections for domestic workers, including nannies, housekeepers and caregivers for the elderly. The result of years of ardent advocacy and political wrangling, it allows temporary disability benefits for full-time home workers, and provides redress for workplace sexual harassment and discrimination.
Nannies Score in Albany: Bill Awards Overtime, Other Rights
(WSJ) — There’s good news for New York’s 200,000 nannies. A reconciliation deal between state lawmakers and Gov. David Paterson will award new rights to domestic workers, making New York the first state in the U.S. to protect household employees.
The compromise legislation, which is expected to face final votes by Thurdsay, sets a 40-hour week for normal domestic workers and a 45-hour week for live-in workers, as well as one day off each week. Any overtime beyond the weekly limits and or work scheduled for a day off must be paid at time-and-a-half.
