New York radio host Wendy Williams lit into Usher’s fiancée Tameka Foster on the radio over comments she made in an article on Essence.com.
Foster told Essence writer Kenya N. Byrd: “Wendy Williams is obsessed with me. I think that is so sexy to have someone talk about me every day, especially when I don’t have a CD, demo or TV pilot. I’m just a stylist and designer and if I can be mentioned in the same breath as Diddy, then I must be doing something right. I think she loves me more than she lets on. I need to make her a part of my marketing team.”
Williams promptly responded to the comments on her syndicated radio show “The Wendy Williams Experience.” She mocked Foster’s voice while reading the offending quote, all the while interjecting with her own comments. [Listen to excerpt below.]
She repeatedly refers to Foster as Usher’s “beard,” or a girlfriend or spouse used to throw off suspicion that a man is gay. She also calls Foster a “drunken heifer” and makes a point to clarify the events that preceded Foster’s last visit to the radio show.

Foster tells Essence: “I appeared on her show a couple of years ago after meeting her at a fashion party for Rocawear at the Hotel Gansevoort in Manhattan. She invited me to come on her show and talk about my clients. I knew she’d ask me some personal things. When I showed up she jumped right into asking me questions about Usher and his mom and whether or not he is rude to her and if they get along. I didn’t go there for that… So her version is that I was drunk and I came to her show to air dirty laundry on Usher. But the truth is she was mad because I wouldn’t dish on anybody.”

I don’t believe for 2 seconds that Usher could be gay! This is why I always say I’d HATE to be famous.

He’s not the manliest male entertainer. A little too “metrosexual” for my tastes.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great dancer and performer, but…
His fiancee is ugly, btw. Shoulda stuck with Chili.

Yeah, I can see that. Maybe he likes it both ways
Then again he wouldn’t be the first performer to hide a whole secret life behind a pretty facade. You’re right though, she’s not that pretty imo.

It’s hard to believe Usher would get married anyway. Wouldn’t it be better for his career if he stayed single?
