TAMEKA FOSTER RESPONDS TO COPYCAT CLAIMS

tameka

Tameka Raymond is address claims by author Aisha Curry that Usher’s ex-wife lift the idea of her blog post.

Here’s part of what she has to say:

“Sooo a ridiculous rumor has emerged that the recent blog entry I wrote for the Huffington Post was plagiarized. Wow!! This is an unfounded insinuation that has no basis, merit or truth. I’ve never heard of this author or her book … African-American women struggling with complexion issues is not a novel or an original topic. It’s an issue that has been written about for ages. Numerous African-American publications and online sites have addressed this topic. Even the Tyra Banks Show devoted an entire segment to it. … While I’m delighted to discover there is a new book with a similar theme available I only wish the author would have embraced our commonality as sisters in this struggle rather than opt for such a defamatory public recourse via a disreputable gossip writer.”

Pwnd!!

    funny she’s complaining about American’s beauty standards when she’s got plastic breasts and a tummy tuck and who know’s what else. what a hyrocrite.

    I think shes is talking about folks saying she is no beauty, the breast implants she could have left alone, but lipo is not thAt bad to take away some fat cells, but all that lip plumping and butt implants that these idiots do is ridiculous! Also i’ve seen uglier and even folks with face lifts and botox and all that crap and they still are fugly!!!

    FYB, thanks for doing your fair share of covering black celebs. Very rare these days. You either have to go to a black celeb blog or you get none. It’s all Lindsay and Gossip Girl.
