Usher gal: $20M now

- Nicole Bitette

A WOMAN SUING pop star Usher for exposing her to herpes said she now has the STD — and is looking for a bigger settlement.

The unidentifi­ed Atlanta woman updated her suit to confirm she tested positive and is seeking $20 million in damages, up from $10 million, according to TMZ.

The woman got the results Saturday and was “devastated,” the site said. She claims she had unprotecte­d sex with Usher in New Orleans in April, and that he never warned her he had the virus.

She recently learned she could have herpes after reading Usher paid $1.1 million to another woman who claimed he infected her. Usher has not commented.
