Poor Usher has got 99 problems and a b*tch
is definitely one. The singer is being stalked by a woman who among other things
claims that she is his wife.
According to TMZ, Usher fears that his life
may be in jeopardy and has secured a temporary restraining order against
26-year-old Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw who is listed standing at 5’2″ and
weighing in between 140 and 180 lbs. Court documents say that Rakestraw
allegedly showed up without an invitation to Usher’s Georgia home on June 23rd
to harass him and his family. She apparently pounded on his door and demanded to
be let in, according to Hot 107.9.
Usher called the cops who showed up to tell
Rakestraw to leave and not come back. She obeyed, but it didn’t end there. She
came back the next day, prompting Usher to call the cops yet again. When they
arrived, Rakestraw told them that she was Usher’s wife and had misplaced her
keys. Cops didn’t buy it and arrested her. Afterwards, Usher immediately got a
temporary restraining order, saying that his faux-wife “placed [him] in
reasonable fear for his own safety and/or the safety of his immediate
family.”
Usher is hoping to make the arrangement more permanent in a hearing next month.

Rakestraw took to YouTube, putting up a
video claiming that Usher has been handing her cash under the table since last
year, promised to provide her with comfortable living arrangements, and that
he’d help her launch her music career. She insists that “I’m not a stalker …
[Usher] has officially slandered me and defamed my character,” and is planning
on filing defamation charges against the singer soon, if only to be close to
him.
Strangely, Usher’s reps haven’t commented on the video, which you can watch below:

Do you think Rakestraw’s story about Usher
measures up or is she a classic case of celebrity stalker?
