Quantasia Sharpton Abandons Herpes Lawsuit Against Veteran Performer
The woman who claimed that Usher exposed her to the herpes virus during an intimate encounter has abandoned her lawsuit against him.
Quantasia Sharpton has abruptly dropped her lawsuit against the “Caught Up” singer barely a week before the matter was supposed to head to trial, BOSSIP has learned.
Sharpton’s lawyer was in LA County Superior Court Sept. 11 to ask for the dismissal during a final hearing on the case before the trial was set to begin on Sept. 23.
Sharpton sued Usher for allegedly exposing her to herpes when she said they had sex after one of his concerts. An anonymous woman and man later joined in on Sharpton’s case, alleging that they were also purported victims of the Atlanta crooner.

The lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, so Sharpton cannot sue Usher for the same alleged incident again.
It’s not clear if Sharpton has secured a financial settlement from Usher, or if the court deemed the case to be frivolous.
Sharpton recently posted stacks of money on social media and asked her followers where she should take a vacation. “I’m thinking of going on a celebratory trip,” she wrote on her Instagram stories, “I’m thinking Bali, Santorini any suggestions?”

We’ve reached out to lawyers for both Sharpton and Usher for comment.
It’s not the first time that Usher has scored a legal victory against someone accusing him of giving them herpes. Last year, a woman named Laura Helm sued Usher after she said she contracted herpes simplex from him following two sexual encounters. Usher denied Helm’s claims, and she eventually dropped her case against him. However, all signs pointed to Usher and Helm reaching an out of court settlement.
