USHER'S EX SAYS DIVORCE IS UPSETTING

MTV report-In June, Usher and his wife of nearly two years,filed for divorce in the wake of constant rumors that they were breaking up.

In an interview in the October issue of Upscale magazine, the former Mrs. Usher Raymond recounts how she was savagely judged by bloggers because, as she puts it, she didn't fit the image of the kind of woman people thought Usher should marry.

"I understand where all the negativity comes from," she told the magazine. "Unfortunately I think that some black women are — subconsciously — not in love with the image they see in the mirror. Therefore in turn they do not love someone like me. I look too much like them."

She goes on to say that she may have been better accepted if she were more "exotic" looking. "They would definitely have preferred my husband marry someone more exotic looking. I was not given a fair shot," she explained. "People passed judgment without getting to know me. How can you get the entire concept of who I am from a blog?"
