Usher's Embarrassed Fan and Accidental Assaulter Speaks Out
On December 13th during his concert at MSG, a fan accidentally kicked Usher right in the noggin after being brought on stage for a strange, sexy, role play with the performer during his song "Trading Places." While things were getting steamy on a chaise lounge, the fan swung her leg over Usher's head and... the rest is YouTube history. Now that fan, Donnetia Rabb, has issued a formal apology. She says:
“I am a huge fan of Usher’s work and have been for years. Anyone who knows me knows that I have a bright, bubbly, vivacious personality so I wanted to interact and enjoy the moment. I never intended to kick him in the face, much less draw attention to such a mishap during the evening of an amazing performance. Usher I do hope this message reaches you. I would like to extend my sincerest apology to you and all of your fans. The concert was one of the most enjoyable and entertaining that I have ever attended. I do hope that my over excited, once in a lifetime moment did not leave you with any marks or even as much as a headache.”
The 35-year-old wife and mother would also like to publicly present Usher with an apology gift, because, of course she would. Are these two kids on track for the next scandalous vows column?
