3. Usher’s Death Hoax Was an Alleged Publicity Stunt
During this week’s testimony, Usher was asked by Foster’s attorney to talk about a death hoax that occurred earlier this year. In April, a rumor spread across the Internet that the singer had been killed in a car crash. Following those reports, the singer took to Twitter to debunk them and showed off a new haircut and physique. According to the blog, Foster said she couldn’t reach the singer and called him frantically to check on him. Instead of calling her back, however, Usher told the attorney that he had his mother call her back. Foster’s representation used that evidence to allege that the entire thing was a hoax and a poorly crafted publicity stunt.
