USHER ASKS FOR RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST WOMAN

ATLANTA (AP) — Usher is seeking a restraining order against a woman he says is stalking him and attempting to extort money. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Usher has filed a petition asking a court to prevent Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw from harassing him at home and on tour. Usher won a 12-month protective order against her after she was arrested for trespassing at his home in Atlanta in 2012. Usher‘s attorneys say Jones-Rakestraw called them demanding money and told members of his security team she was going to follow Usher on tour and “get him.”
