A $20 million lawsuit filed against Usher has been dismissed, according to TMZ.
The suit was filed by a Georgia woman named Laura, who claimed the singer gave her herpes after the two had unprotected sex. Usher’s side pushed back on the claim and argued that she knew the risks involved in the relationship.
TMZ reports the case lost steam after a recorded phone call surfaced in which the woman reportedly said she only had protected sex with Usher. Her attorney then withdrew from the case, which left her to find a new lawyer. That new lawyer filed to dismiss the suit.
The dismissal was reportedly entered without prejudice, which means the woman has the option to refile. TMZ reports the filing states an intent to do just that.
It was not clear why the lawyer moved to dismiss the case, and neither side had said more publicly at the time of the report.
