It seems that the reports regarding Fantasia’s abortion of her married lover’s child were true. In fact, audio of the singer’s confession of the act has now surfaced. Listen to her courtroom testimony below via Radar Online:
Here are key parts of the court proceedings Monday, including Fantasia admitting to the abortion:
Lawyer: “See if you recognize this as being a letter you wrote to Mr. Cook on May 10th 2010″ (inaudible)
(inaudible) Fantasia reads the letter to the court. “I want you. I pray every night that I can be in your life forever, be your friend, lover, prayer partner, wife and MOTHER OF YOUR CHILDREN. As long as I can have you I will be the happiest girl in the world.” (inaudible)
Lawyer: “Ms Barrino, when you wrote this letter, you said you wanted to be the mother of his children, is this right?”
Fantasia: “Uh huh.”Lawyer: “Were you pregnant with his child when you wrote this letter?”
Fantasia: “No, no.”Lawyer: “Is it true at one point you told him you had an abortion?”
Fantasia’s Lawyer: Objection!(ARGUMENTS BETWEEN LAWYERS)
Lawyer: “Ms Barrino, isn’t it true that you told Mr. Cook that you had aborted his child?”
Fantasia: “When I wrote this letter I was speaking in future references. Like, one day, I would love to be all of these things that I wrote. I was not pregnant with his child.”Lawyer: “But did you tell Mr. Cook you aborted his child?”
Fantasia: “I did, yeah.”Lawyer: “When did you tell Mr. Cook you had aborted his child?
Fantasia: “I’m not sure.”Lawyer: “When did you abort his child?”
Fantasia: “It hasn’t been too long ago.”Lawyer: “What’s not too long ago?
Fantasia: “I’m not sure.”Lawyer: “I’m sorry?”
Fantasia: “I’m not sure. Probably when all this other stuff was happening.”Lawyer: “Is it your testimony that this summer?”
Fantasia: “I’m not really sure.”Lawyer: “How close in proximity was it to Mr. Cook leaving? In June 2010.”
Fantasia: “It was right after he left his home.”Lawyer: “Mrs. Cook contends that she separated from Mr. Cook in June 16th 2010. How close in proximity to her date of separation did you contend that you aborted his child?”
Fantasia: “I’m not sure. Probably August when the other stuff happened.”

I agree xoxo. Thought the Grape Juice was better than that and an entertainment blog not gossip. Oh well it’s like the Ojays “For The Love of Money” this is a hot topic on the net and as long as people read it they don’t give a shit cuz they get paid.
I pray Fantasia gets herself together because she is very talented and obviously has some personal issues she is dealing with within herself . I hope she is getting the help she needs to turn this around for the better.

How tacky for TGJ to post this. This is someone’s private business. What does this have to do with her music. I am sure there are woman who visit thsi site everyday who have had abortion for whatever reason it was their choice just as it was Fantasia. I am starting to really lose respect for TGJ just as I did for Sandrarose because of the tackiness. I hope that those respondsible for this post of what they consider news ask themselves how they would feel if such a private matter became public.

Don’t judge Fantasia. I bet if this was one of your hypocritical ass pastors, you would find a reason to take up for them. Give Fantasia the same scriptures that you would to rescue the behaviors of the church.

Guys I have to take up for Trent, this bad news has been out for some days now, but we did not know the source it came from now we know, this did not come from Fantasia trying to get PR, this came from a court case.
Thanks Trent for letting us know how sleazy other blogs are because they where leading us to believe that Fanny was airing her business when it was the media, all up in her personal life.
Thanks Trent!

I have not listened to the recordings but I am just amazed that recordings from a trial (without the consent or knowledge of the judge) are publicised . So what’s next a video tape? I am also amazed at how people seem to think because they pay 8 or 10 dollars for a CD they are somehow entitled to know and publicise someething as personal as someone’s abortion and it all comes under the label of “democracy”

I strongly suggest you a place where you can ___Meet sing-les,___hot personals____, who are searching for their special someone. a place to meet singles and admirers in the world
which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive sin gles and treat you like a king or Queen. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends.

I’m going to keep it 100.
Fantasia is not and never will be the only woman who slept with married men before.
but the fact that she got his name tattooed on her body, hell on a place where everybody and their mama can see, IS FUCKED UP..
and the fact that she was letting that dude hit it raw, is all kind of nasty…
and we can sit here and say people make mistakes, yes, but when there are children involve, I HAVE ZERO SYPATHY

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..
lets not blame the media for FANTASIA FUCKES UP..
didnt she run to the media days after her alleges suicide? and wasnt she caught filming her show whith the guy, that got her to the point of crazy, days after?
come on now people, lets use a thing call common sense..
if u the type of person that likes to put ur business in the street, why the hell should i feel sorry for u, when the media is doin the same damn thing ur doin?
yes, i do feel sorry for the celebs that do keep their personal life private and yet the media puts their business on the streets..
put for people like fantasia who has a reality show, who ran straight to the media days after she tried to kill herself, i have zero sympathy

I agree with the majority commenting. It doesn’t matter what Fantasia did, none of us are God, or Judges or juries for that matter. Quit worrying about what others do in their lives, and make sure you keep your mess together. Yes, Fantasia was wrong, and disrespected herself as well as Mrs. Cook, but two wrongs don’t make a right, and for her privacy to be violated in such a way is down right malicious. If someone could take private information from a court room and report it, then know that your information is subject to the same thing. I get why TGJ reported it, but in the name of decency they shouldn’t have and neither should any other media outlet. It is a violation of the Hippa law, and if I was Fantasia I would sue every one who reported it!
SpreaddaWord.com, for the hip intelligent voice that wants to be herard!

She was never preggo, just a ploy to get him to leave his wife and kids by saying she was prego and now she can’t remember shit?! I used to like Fanny but for some reason now I cant stand the sight of her and her voice just annoys the hell out of me!! No one’s perfect and we all fuck up but she is disgusting for “acting” out a suicide attempt!! That is nothing to play around with and she did it all for her “reality show” and just to think we all felt sorry for her!! Stupid beeitch deserves to pay that man”s wife a million for each month she spend with the husband!!!

Okay I really don’t understand how Fantasia could get a descent looking man with her ugly, big funky lipped, burnt ass! She’s ugly as hell and looks stank. He wasn’t embarrassed that she was an illiterate, barely educated, hood rat bitch? He’s disgusting and retarded and Fantasia is just an idiot! Her trying to kill herself over a married man and getting pregnant by him proves that she’s a bad mother. Why the hell would you risk your life and happiness over him and not put your OWN CHILD BEFORE ALL OF THAT! Her daughter is going to grow up being a ho like her mother and it’s a shame. Fantasia’s career is over and she’s about to go bankrupt. I’m sick and tied of these dumbass, weak mothers.

Does anyone know whether the judge is concerned that this recording was leaked? No excuses for having the affair with the married father of two, but I think it’s so backwards that Antwaun Cook is not the villain for his wife or Fantasia. Why is Mrs. Cook so hell bent on destroying Fantasia when there are so many stories out there that Fantasia was one of many women he had been involved with during their marriage. That’s why they were having so many problems in their marriage. I’m pro-life but I’m not going to judge Fantasia. I feel sorry for her. Her mistake is no different than so many in the entertainment industry. You would be shocked by the number of your favorite singers who have had affairs or abortions. I think Fantasia has so much talent. I hope she makes it and finds real happiness with someone decent.

Hopefully Fantasia’s family, friends and agent can help her transition to a better life. Many people more famous than Fantasia have had abortions, but none of them admits to it while still building a career. It’s not that people are really judging Fantasia, some are, it’s just that she’s not built up a big enough fan base to sustain this kind of blow. I hope Paula Cook’s only motivation is pay back, to destroy Fantasia’s career. She’s not going to get a dime. Her attorneys won’t get paid. They think Fantasia has money, but she doesn’t. So at the end of the day, Antwaun Cook has been costly to both of these women. What a shame!
