» Usher allegedly paid woman $1 million after giving her herpes: reports
The suit, which she says will be filed in California, alleges Usher, 38, contracted genital herpes before his encounters with her clients, all of which Bloom says happened after 2012.
Bloom's statement did not say whether any of them contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
Usher's representatives did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment.
California law says that individuals who know they have a STD are guilty of a misdemeanor if they do not disclose their status to partners before engaging in sexual acts.
