[Rex]

He and a friend were seriously hurt... (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2170593/Ushers-11-year-old-stepson-Kyle-declared-brain-dead-doctors-jet-ski-accident.html?ito=feeds-newsxml)


Hope he pulls through, but if he's brain-dead, that's unlikely, right? What a waste. so young.

[Buzz]

So sorry for him and his loved ones.

[GarrAarghHrumph]

That's very sad to hear.

[AragornElessar]

What a shame. :(

[Rex]

Clearly, the divorce proceedings will have to be put on hold.

How sad. I usually hate seeing jet skis on a lake - often the riders have been drinking and they're not taking much care. Even if everyone is sober and riding cautiously, people don't have a lot of experience on them and it can be hard to respond to unexpected obstacles in time.

Clearly, the divorce proceedings will have to be put on hold.

rex I am confused:

Usher, 33, split from Tameka back in 2009 with their divorce finalised later that year.

is there another divorce that Usher is involved in?

Clearly, the divorce proceedings will have to be put on hold.

I thought their divorce was finalized in 2009?

what a tragedy :(

[l'etoile]

I feel really sorry.

OMG!!! The news has said for two days that two young people had been hit by a jet ski on Lake Lanier in Atlanta.....Nobody has said one of the kids was Usher's! Lake Lanier is MUCH TOO CROWDED and jet skiers are out of control. Just 2 weeks ago, we had a pontoon boat with 13 people on it get hit by a drunk bass boat driver at 10 p.m.-resulting in a 9 year old and a 13 year old drowned. The bass boat driver was DUI.

So sorry-it doesn't matter if the young victims were those of a rap star or just folks. God bless their families and their sweet little souls.

Usher is going through a custody battle with his ex wife. They have two biological children together.

I apologize - were they already divorced? Were they not in court just recently? Was that a custody thing?

[Smiley0884]

Such a tragedy :( His parents must be so devastated. Hopefully the other child that was injured will be ok.

[Wiery]

What a tragedy! My heart goes out to this boy and the people who love him. :(
