November 18, 2009 The B. Scott Show: Tameka Raymond Interview
Love muffins, here’s the newest episode of my internet series: The B. Scott Show. For this episode, I had a lovely sit down with Tameka Raymond. In the interview she opened up about her divorce, her plastic surgery fiasco, recent 911 calls, her decision to keep her married last name, and much more!
On her last name:
“I feel that it’s a very ignorant statement. For generations women have kept their married last names, especially when there are children involved…imagine if everybody changed their last name when they were either widowed or divorced. Nobody would have the same last name as their parents…It’s kind of a foolish statement.”
You can watch the full interview after the jump!

In light of her last name preference, shouldn’t we be calling her
Tameka Foster Glover Raymond then?

I’m glad the vid description linked to the foundation’s site, because I tried to search “tameka raymond lost ones” and got nothing.
Interesting interview.

Well if that was the case about her last name shouldn’t it be Tameka Foster Glover Raymond. If she says you shouldn’t divorce then why didn’t she stay with her first husband. You did good B Scott. Next time interview a real celebrity. Because Maneka is celebrity by association. Usher has moved on and she needs to.

You could tell her mind is moving 1000 mph…She seems very deceptive and to not know why your marriage ended is crazy thats the main reason why she probably lost him..B you seem to know more about Usher’s whereabouts than she did when she was in Brazil..B you did a great job in the interview…

Seriously tameka I try to ride witcha but your interviews make no sense! I agree with the earlier post! What about your first husband Ryan Glover. His name isn’t as prestigious as Usher’s. Your first three sons’ last names aren’t Raymond. I mean have some dignity sis. I’m really tryna ride witcha but you’ve lost all pride. Usher didn’t make u or did he?

She seems like a nice woman and I STILL have no clue why ppl have something against her INCLUDING Ursh….. but WHY is she keeping her MARRIED name again??? Sounds idiotic to me!

I’ve never been a fan of hers. She’s always been kinda irrelevant to me but this interview shed some light on a lot of things. I kinda wish she was more forthright and honest about why her marriage to Usher fell apart.

Once again, a great interview. Very enlightning. First time I’ve had the chance to hear her speak in a live video interview, and get her side of the story.

Okay…my biggest problem with this interview is that she kept saying she didnt know why her marriage failed? How do you NOT know? If she didnt want to discuss it, she should have told BScott that that particular question was off limits. She sounded stupid saying I don’t know!

Why would the day your children were born be the happiest day of your marriage?

Ahahaaaa Chriswell said “irrelevant.” I loves it! We don’t know all the facts, true. But her persona seems shady. The fraud doesn’t lie and the sequence of events tell some type of truth. Oh, and because she has five boys…add selfish.

She seemed very sincere when she was talking about her foundation and those shoes but the rest of the interview hmm dodging those questions like bullets. Something about her comes across as a very mean,evil and sneaky person. Like she would be the last one that you’d suspect to do something while all along being THE ONE doing all the doing. I guess whatever happn btwn her and Usher should stay that way.. That was their private lives but when you open yourself up for questioning ” i don’t know” is never a good answer.

I love you B. Scott!!! The interview was not very forthcoming on Tameka’s part, but maybe that is just how she really is. In regards to why her marriage ended, she may not know like she said, but that does not justify her answer. I went through a situation not long ago where the other person just stopped communicating with me for no reason that I can fathom, and I just felt so abandoned because I had not done anything wrong, and yes it does hurt when things like that occur, but we must move on, we have no choice. That person never talked to me again and I was left to pick up the pieces of my life and I had to move on with dignity. Whether Tameka knows or does not know why her marriage demised, that is for her to deal with, it may be too painful for her to go into, think of that way. When people are hurt, the emotional toil that it takes on them is often worse than any kind of physical excruciating pain.
On the issue of her last name, I personally do not think that women should change their names when they marry, it seems too submissive to me. But to each his own. If it were me, when the marriage is over, that also goes for the married name, whether you have children or not, but that is just my opinion. I think she should go back to her maiden name, whatever that may be.
