Usher has a stalker on his hands. According to TMZ, the young woman was arrested the other day for showing up to his home and scaring the crap out of Usher and his family. The woman, Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw, has been identified as a potentially dangerous stalker by Usher and the police:
Usher believes his life is in jeopardy … claiming he’s being stalked by a dangerous delusional woman who is convinced she’s MARRIED to the pop star.
TMZ has learned … Usher has obtained a temporary restraining order against 26-year-old Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw — who’s listed at 5’2″ … and weighs between 140 and 180 lbs.
According to court docs, Usher claims Darshelle showed up uninvited to his Georgia home on June 23 with the intention of harassing him and his family. Sources close to Usher say she pounded on his front door and demanded to be let in.
Cops were called to the scene … where they warned Darshelle to stay away from the property … and told her not to come back. We’re told Darshelle left the home … but not for long.
Usher says she returned the very next day. Cops were once again called to the scene … and sources tell us Darshelle tried to convince the officers she was Usher’s wife and had simply misplaced her keys.
Cops didn’t buy the story … because USHER’S NOT MARRIED … and placed Darshelle under arrest.
Usher immediately obtained a temporary restraining order, claiming Darshelle “placed [him] in reasonable fear for his own safety and/or the safety of his immediate family.”
Darshelle took to Youtube to attempt to clear her name, and claims that she actually had a relationship with Usher that led to him sending her money and promising to help her launch her singing career. Other videos also indicate that she may currently be in a mental hospital for something unrelated. Check out the video below:
Sad. I hope she gets help.
Wow. This was kind of hard to watch. I can’t say I believe her though, she’s too young for Usher.
SMH. People take their love of celebrities too damn far. You don’t know these people!!!
