Usher Releases An Open Letter About His Relationship With Tameka
Usher released an open statement to all his fans ( & haters) via People magazine yesterday. Of course, it was concerning…you guessed it - Tameka Foster.
And it reads…
“It has already been announced that I plan to marry this year. However, since my wedding day will be special to Tameka and I, this is information that we would like to keep private. It’s disturbing that the media and bloggers (under the guise as ‘fans’) continuously speculate on the personal aspects of my life, therefore making assumptions and wrong insinuations that my fans are subject to believe.
“I am happy, excited, completely clear and independent on my direction, feelings, decisions and I am NOT BEING LED. Some media and bloggers have been totally intrusive, they have misconstrued aspects of my personal life and, because of this, my ‘true’ fans are not sure about what is fact and what is fiction. There is a difference in stating an opinion versus drawing a conclusion that is incorrect.
“As previously reported, I have NEVER threatened or harassed anyone from any media format – print, radio, television or Internet media. At this point the best thing to say to my fans is just because it sounds enticing and it MAY sound ‘true,’ that does not make it truth. I understand the fact that I must sacrifice some anonymity for the career I love, however some things are personal like having a child or a marriage. These aspects are not for the public and, to me, are sacred. I would hope my privacy in these areas would be respected.”

I think all celebs could probably live a better life if they sold exclusive rights to one specific magazine. You know, like several did a year or so ago when Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had their baby. They sold exclusive photography rights to one specific magazine, everyone got to see the baby at the same time, we got to see beautiful professional photos, and a wonderful, professional write-up.

I can understand him wanting a little privacy, but I’m glad to see he understands he’s a celeb and probably won’t get nearly the amount of privacy he would like to have.
