Chilli on Usher and Tameka…
Chilli of TLC sets the record straight on the whole Usher and Tameka fiasco. She found out like everyone else about their torrid love affair…
ESSENCE.COM: Throughout the blogosphere, folks speculated about whether you, Usher and Tameka communicate. Do you?
CHILLI: I don’t have any contact with her. I have not spoken to her in years. There’s no relationship at all between us. I haven’t spoken to Usher, either. When people ask whether or not I think she is the reason we broke up, I have no clue what Usher was doing outside of our relationship. When we broke up, it was because it wasn’t working out. I later found out there was some infidelity, but he never said who that woman or who those women were, because I’m sure it was more than one. Again, I heard things, but Tameka never crossed my mind. The first time I strolled across that [infamous] beach photo I thought somebody photoshopped that. I didn’t believe it. I did wonder if she was one of the girls, but again, I never asked. My memory of her was that she was the stylist, because she dressed Usher and I for an event one time. Honestly, those are questions I never asked him, and I’ve distanced myself so much from him. We aren’t communicating at all. We broke up, had conversation a few times maybe two years after we broke up, and it was a wrap. I think what keeps it alive at all is these [blogs] speculating whether we’d get back together.
I say she dodged a bullet on that one. Chilli goes on to clear up the fact that she did not date CNN’s TJ Holmes while he was still married, or even going through the divorce for that matter, not to mention it was a brief romance.
