Tameka Raymond on Not Telling Usher About Plastic Surgery, Almost Dying

Tameka Foster in this clip from her interview with VladTV talks about a near-death experience she had due to complications from a liposuction procedure. Tameka explains that she had the procedure in Brazil and went into a coma when she was anesthetized. Later on, she reflects on the cultural pressure women face to "modify" their bodies. Watch above.

[@TheFineArtisan]

I appreciate her honesty about her vulnerability and insecurities at that time ...makes her very relatable

[@SammynicBram]

Yup and with the post partum the comments and the insecurity, understandable.

[@EbonyJoneskuye]

She is very pretty and she took a beat down when married to Usher because she didn't meet the standards of being light skin and wavy hair that Chili and Grace were. Hell, look at some of the comments in this feed. I totally get why she bleached her skin because of the pressure of fans and media. I am glad she is doing okay and I am sure she is happy to not get STDs from Usher!

[@Queenalika85]

Facts

[@kimbrim5080]

Chili is not light skinned by far...she's a beautiful chocolate brown.

[@sweetangelplus]

@@kimbrim5080 Chilli is not light skin, but she has "good hair" and less african features. So Chilli benefit from texturism and featurism.

[@reefreef1866]

Chili has beautiful dark skin and she has the soft silky hair and is very beautiful. She does not have light skin.

[@Loveabounds.]

Chilli is very dark in person same color as her it she has thin Indian like hair

[@priscillawright2010]

Shes absolutely the prettiest wife Usher had❤❤she’s gorgeous!!!

[@ericapetty2318]

Its a difference between being nice and lying she us absolutely not

[@Serinity777]

I don't understand all the hate toward this woman, she's likeable to me. She's just insecure it's obvious, but I like her energy.

[@reneebaptiste8550]

Lol

[@jadriennewhite4474]

Usher and his people villified her in the media

[@Ilovecerealcerealcereal]

Her facial features look much more harsh in pictures. I see why he thought she was pretty she is. A lot of people have photogenic faces but don’t look great in real life and vice versa

[@Desaworld.]

Becuase she is a black DARK SKIN women and niggas woth internalized hatered towereds blackness and darkness do shit like that . And yes she has her own insecurities I’m sure YOU. And all other other people have theres.

[@karlamoody7448]

She seems really cool, and I think she is pretty. I don't get some people making her out to be so unattractive.

[@degreesandchucktsshow3692]

She seems cool without all the stress and negativity. She can be very unpleasant when she's angry or attacked.

[@JukuduB]

@@icecreamladydream that an ageism. Those two were the main attacks on this woman. smh

[@RJspAced]

Petty people are jealous over other people's luck, success, etc. She was just a fine person for Usher, he thinks he was better, his mama thinks her son was too good for this lady. Now he has herpes in his asshole! This interviewer is so slow

[@EbonyJoneskuye]

Because she is dark skin ... Colorism BS!

[@davenaphilipp1]

She is pretty and classy. They don’t find her attractive because she is a black woman and she isn’t mixed or racially ambiguous.

[@kearrabanks2536]

Why tf people keep hating on Tameka

[@michaelle8384]

Because she don’t look like Beyoncé or Aliyah

[@sheribrooks8205]

She's gorgeous. People always find something wrong with us brown-skinned women.

[@1hunnidpercent]

Not me 🤷🏾‍♂️😍

[@michaelle8384]

Well now he’s with a white women

[@janetbrown3956]

she's very personable.

[@covergirl5993]

Dude, are you listening! And stop interrupting her! Jeeez!

[@jc9835]

Tameka is GLOWING!! WOW!!!!! USHER'S LOSS.

[@camillejarrett5008]

People were extremely mean about her age her looks, just about everything regarding her. I never understood that. Clearly Usher liked something about her.

[@michaelle8384]

Usher like women who can be he’s mother just like my brother some men like older women my brother married to this lady who only 2 years younger then he’s mom he can never have kids with her

[@missmannydxb]

The way she says that checked out and peace out is so funny 😁

[@sassyintrovert]

Nigguh...do you listen!? she just told you why she went to Brazil 🙄

[@eshagcom3742]

Beautiful woman i hate what she went thru but usher got his karma!

[@starstar4344]

Grandma .... she was 110 😂😂😂😂 she’s the best

[@MiamiPush2theLimit]

I like this lady a lot.

[@cgogetit]

Her foundation is just a few shades too light. Calm down y'all damn!

[@sasthyme8857]

I don’t buy it.... but why lie. You went to get surgery point blank. She said she was mad at her ex so offered a trip to her nanny to see children. Not that she offered her nanny a trip to see her children to be nice.

[@loveofpassion7908]

Vlad would you listen and stop asking the same questions. Jezzzz

[@chillywillie6283]

Death is simply sleep that you don’t wake up from because your body is no longer functioning adequately enough to carry your spirit.

[@luanarciajamesmair9669]

Girl do wat makes you happy.. enough with the haterz... I’m sorry you went thru this.. glad you’re here..🙏🙏

[@Traysee379]

She look so happy and less stressed.

[@VuCarre1]

I’ve always been team Tameka. I have always thought she was down to earth and beautiful!!! I hate that people disparaged her because of her skin color, which happens to be beautiful. She had a rough time but she has pulled through and has said, Here I Stand…in a Beautiful State!! Get her book!!!

[@peacegiver1000]

You are interviewing her but you certainly are not LISTENING. You keep asked no her to repeat herself.🙄🙄🙄

[@peaceseeker9927]

To hell with anyone of you who is against the beauty of dark skin, you deserve no respect. I don't know what to think of Tameka Raymond's mindset but in her hey day she was blessed with beauty if nothing else, although there is no one standard of beauty for everyone.

[@yw6502]

“”I wanted to be a modified person” 😂😂😂

[@lm5920]

Ushers fans drove her to bleach her beauty brown skin. SMH

[@jojom6657]

I always liked her!

[@_CaliGirl]

They drove her to hell and back when usher married her. She doesn.t seem like a bad person. She needed to have lab work and be seen by a primary care physician before surgery. That.s what doctors make you do in the U.S. for your own good. Other countries are not on our level here in the States which is why you don.t pop over to another country and have surgery. She could have died.

[@Tiffonique]

She's so Pretty! xoxo

[@moon5546]

Sorry you lost custody I think you a very bright lady be and may God give you peace

[@Eleven11313]

She's in a coma. And he ask do u remb any of that. Who is this dude. He irks my soul with all his interviews

[@tijeraslack3]

Not arms and legs falling off regarding the girl getting surgery. WTF? 😳

[@ConspirHerSee]

I feel from her anxiousness, body movement and head shaking that she's not being completely truthfull about the surgery not being pland. How could she just pop up and have the time to get the proper pre-operative screening to do something that spontaneous while on vacation? And who orchestrates their vacation around an illegal immagrant Nanny?

[@jmeree]

Listen Vlad damn she said that!!!
