Usher's Wife Tameka Released From Hospital After Coma


Usher's wife Tameka Foster has left hospital in Brazil.

Foster, 38, checked into the Sao Rafael Hospital on Feb. 6 for a "simple liposuction," Ellen Dastry, spokeswoman for plastic surgeon Silvio Stermanm, told the Associated Press last week.

Foster went into cardiac arrest while being anesthetized, "but was revived in less than a minute by heart massage," Dastry adds. She was then placed in an induced coma before being taken to the intensive-care unit, a procedure Dastry said was "absolutely normal" and performed in order to "avoid unnecessary complications."

She was then transferred to Sirio-Libanes Hospital, considered one of the best in Brazil.

Tameka was released from the Sirio-Libanes Monday night, a spokesman said. At the family's request, no further details were available from the medical facility. Usher's rep had no comment.

Hopefully Tameka will realize how close she actually came to dying. After what happened to Kanye's mom, I hope Tameka has realized that if she wants to lose a couple of extra pounds, she needs to do it the old fashioned way instead of going for the quick fix.

Usher Cancels Grammy Gig Due To Wife Tameka's Plastic Surgery Emergency

According to sources, Usher canceled his performance at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party due to his wife medical crisis following a cosmetic procedure. Tameka is in Brazil and has experienced complications from plastic surgery.

Dr. Gabriel Hunt, a neurosurgeon, of LA’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, arrived in South America yesterday to assist in the crisis.

Clive Davis, president of Usher's Records label, announced that the entertainer and his mother phoned earlier to cancel his rehearsal and subsequent performance at the Beverly Hilton because of a "serious illness in the family." A rep for Usher had no comment at this time. Josh Groban filled in for the R&B star at Davis’ annual event.
Foster, a 37-year-old stylist, recently gave birth to the couple’s second child, Naviyd Ely Raymond. The couple’s first child, Usher Raymond V, was born in November 2007. It has been reported that Foster was becoming self conscious about her looks and the comments that mama Raymond reportedly makes wasn't helping matters none. All I can say is didn't what happened to Kanye's mama teach you anything?
