The herpes lawsuit against Usher has been dismissed again, but was it settled? Laura Helm filed to dismiss her suit earlier this week because she and Usher have “reached an amicable resolution.” The dismissal was filed with prejudice. That means it can’t be refiled. That usually happened when there’s been a financial settlement. Laura Helm sued Usher in 2017. Laura Helm claimed Usher exposed her to herpes when they had unprotected sex. She sued then for $10 million, then upped it to $20 million for emotional harm and punitive damages. She filed to dismiss the case a few months later, for technical reasons, then refiled it in 2018. Now the case is closed.
