Usher’s Herpes Accuser Files To Dismiss $20 Million Lawsuit

Nearly two years after Usher was accused of exposing a woman to herpes in a $20 million lawsuit, the victim, Laura Helm, has filed to dismiss her case.

In court documents obtained TMZ, Helm filed to dismiss her suit, claiming the two had reached “an amicable resolution.” Although further details about the resolution remain unclear, sources say the dismissal was filed with prejudice, which is normal procedure in the event of a financial settlement. 

Helm filed her suit back in 2017, claiming the singer exposed her to herpes after unprotected sex. She initially demanded $10 million but doubled her price for emotional harm and punitive damages. But now, after an amicable agreement, the case is closed.
