The Oval star Travis Cure is at the center of a messy lawsuit filed by his former situationship, who is accusing the actor of giving her an incurable STD. Cure claims that he does have said STD but always wore a condom when having sex with his ex. Because apparently, what happens in the situationship doesn’t always stay in the situationship.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Cure’s former partner claims that the two started dating around August 2024. The woman said that while the two may not have been exclusive, she was not sleeping with anyone other than Travis from August 2024 until she filed her lawsuit.
She claims that Travis knew he had genital herpes but never disclosed his diagnosis before they had sex. She is accusing the actor of negligence and battery, arguing that he failed to inform her of a sexually transmitted infection that could have lasting consequences for her health.
In response to the lawsuit, Travis noted that the woman suing him said that they were not “exclusive on either side.” Cure added that the woman lives in Chicago and was having sex with other men while they were dating. Apparently, this situationship came with a whole lot of fine print about what each person was doing when they weren’t together.
Cure claims that he knew he had herpes and that the woman who filed the lawsuit also knew about his diagnosis. In his response, he suggested that the STD issue only became a point of contention after he ended things with her and found himself a girlfriend. Nothing says an old situationship is officially over quite like a lawsuit, apparently.
He also argued that there was no way for his ex to prove he gave her herpes, pointing to what he described as her “promiscuous sexual practices.” In other words, Cure is disputing that he was responsible for transmitting the infection and is challenging the woman’s ability to establish that claim.
Of course, having herpes and proving who transmitted it are two separate issues. Genital herpes is a lifelong viral infection, and condoms can reduce the risk of transmission but do not eliminate it entirely. Whether the woman’s claims hold up in court is another matter.
For now, the former couple’s private bedroom business has become a public legal battle, with both sides offering very different accounts of what the other knew and when they knew it.
The case is ongoing.
