Back in the summer, a John Doe was aggressively coming after Usher looking to get his medical records after he claimed the singer gave him herpes. According to the unidentified man, he and Usher had a sexual encounter at a spa in Los Angeles' Korea Town. Usher refused to hand over any documents at the time and new reports from The Blast now say that John has dropped his inquiry, no longer needing the records.
The publication details how John has withdrawn his motion to compel, but with no specified reason. John can bring back the motion if he so wishes, but documents detail how for now he will continue with “further discovery.”
John Doe is the third victim to Usher's alleged herpes with Quantasia Sharpton having previously settled a case while his case with Laura Helm is still ongoing. The last reports on the matter detailed how the "U Got It Bad" singer was requesting a gag order to keep private and potentially embarrassing information on the down low. Usher noted that if any information did make it to the public, himself and Laura could suffer “harm, annoyance and/or embarrassment," and doesn't want the media making a profit off his personal matters.
