One would be forgiven for believing the controversy surrounding R&B star Fantasia had subsided. Indeed, it appeared the singer had rebounded from the drama with a critically acclaimed LP ‘Back to Me’ and another season of her ‘Fantasia For Real’ reality show.
However, if new reports are to be believed, the masses only knew select segments of what was a clearly dark period in the American Idol alum’s life. That is until now.
Full story after the jump…
Via Radar Online:
Fantasia Barrino has admitted she got pregnant by her married lover Antwaun Cook and had an abortion around the time of her failed suicide attempt, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.The American Idol winner made the sensational confession in a North Carolina court on Monday during Cook’s divorce proceeding with his ex-wife Paula.
Facing questions before a Mecklenburg County Court judge, the famous singer, 26, was pressed on whether she knew Cook was living with Paula when they embarked on their illicit affair.
The Idol season three winner has acknowledged she dated Cook “off and on for about 11 months” but said she believed he had separated from his wife.
In court, lawyers for the scorned wife pressed Fantasia about a hotel rendezvous that took place just a few days after meeting one another.
“Paula’s lawyer is arguing that they got the room because she knew he was still married,” one onlooker – who was inside the court – told RadarOnline.com.
There were no reporters in the courtroom and witnesses were asked to leave as Fantasia took the stand.
But multiple sources, including a Cook family source, confirmed Fantasia’s explosive testimony to RadarOnline.com.
Fantasia became the center of a celebrity cheating scandal when she famously got the name “Cook” tattooed on her collarbone in honor of Antwaun.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Fantasia – who is still dating Antwaun – attempted to kill herself in August by taking an overdose of aspirin after reading a court complaint filed by Paula naming her as a home wrecker.
“It just became heavy for me, so I just wanted to be away from the noise,” Fantasia said in a television interview.
Paula is now considering suing Fantasia over the unique Alienation of Affection law.
Alienation of Affection is a law still recognized by only seven states – one of which is North Carolina – where an abandoned spouse can file lawsuit against the party responsible for the failure of their marriage, typically the adulterous spouse’s lover.
Fantasia and Paula recently failed to settle their differences through private mediation after a marathon 12-hour session on November 1.
“Paula is not doing too well, having to hear all this in court and replay it all over, she’s emotionally torn,” one source close to the woman told RadarOnline.com.
Needless to say…DRAMA!
Here’s wishing a speedy to resolve to all parties involved, as wallowing in such messiness is not progressive for anyone.
POOR BUBBA SHRIMP, SHE JUST CANT CATCH A BREAK !!!
sam, i wish you didn’t post this
Fanny is messy!! Bish needs to get her s*** together real quick, her behaviour right now is not becoming. Dumb h**.
wtf is wrong with her! Im starting to lose so much respect for her.
i can only hope that she learns from this
OMG! I love Fanny and I put this mess behind me after buying her amazing album, but PREGNANT? You mean to tell me she wasn’t using protection or at least on some birth control with an already married man? Regardless if she thought he was separated, he was still married!
I just hope this isn’t true but I wouldn’t be surprised.
This is a mess! Smh.
Grapejuice,
I am disappointed in you! When did you start posting messy gossip?
No one knows if this is even true. It says “a source” and this source could be Mrs. Cook or someone close to her.
Blogs have been reporting Fantasia pregnant since 2005 and none of them have been true so now an “abortion” story smh.
Yesterday was a divorce court proceeding. What would her saying this in court have to do with that?
wow, don’t blame thatgrapejuice this dish needs to stay relevent so she does this crazy things….
I hope this is not true, its only making her look worse. I hope im reading this wrong, because this article say she was still dating him. I hope that was an mistake. Fantasia really must get herself together shes above all this drama.
That’s a damn shame, Fanny…still love you tho…you’re human, but get it together ma
Wow……….. at a loss for wordz.
~~
Support MS KELLY!
Eghk! Fanny mae girl I just can’t….
Crazy!!! To have all your personal business put out there for the masses to see can’t be easy. I have to say this goes above and beyond her cheating with a married man, there i a such thing called the HIPPA law which is supposed to protect an individuals medical information. I don’t think it should be taken lightly that someone had the audacity to leak private information, and this is someone who works in the court system! Everyone should be steaming mad about this, because it could happen to you! Just because Fantasia is a celebrity doesn’t mean that she should have her rights violated in this way!
SPREADDAWORD.COM, for the hip intelligent voice that wants to be heard!!
i hate this stupid ugly b****
THE QUESTION WAS WTF IS WRONG WITH HER. THE ANSWER IS SHE IS HUMAN AND CAN MAKE BAD CHOICES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. IT AMAZES ME HOW THE SENTENCE “IM HUMAN” APPLIES WHEN OTHER PEOPLE DO SOMETHING F***** UP BUT NOT HER. YES SHE IS DEAD WRONG, BUT DAMN
SAM U SHOULD NOT HAVE POSTED THIS. HOW LOW DO U HAVE TO STOOP TO GET HITS.
Very Ghetto indeed…congratulations…she is stupid beyond words.
FANNY IS JUST STUPID, very talented but DUMB girl u mean to tell me you didnt use protection, plus why would you want to come out to the NEWS and tell everybody this, certain things should be kept to urself Fantasia Dumb Barino.
This girl is so Dumb
It’s crazy,she got what she deserves…
FANNY STOP THE HOOD RAT BS. DAMN
Never voted for her..I am glad she is a mess…
Now I know why she can’t find success…sista, you are disgraceful worse than Tiger Woods. 🙁
I have no respect for home wreckers. Fantasia is a great singer, but I lost respect for her overall. I can’t even support her.

Felt sorry for Fantasia, until NOW!
She’s a dumb ass. Having a baby by a married man?
Then.. aborting it!?
I hope the wife milks her ass for all she’s got!
Certain things are better left unsaid.
I really love this artist music! I do not care about , the who, the what or the when of her life! Too much has been disclosed already. However, I feel that these actions support what she was saying. Why would she have a married man’s baby? If any of these things are true, SHE DID THE RIGHT THING!
Now, about her new project, I JUST LOVE IT!

S*** happends like this all the time but why scorn the woman, That mf she was f****** with need his ass kicked & sued too. That lady need to get alimony, she trying to get money out of Fantasia cuz she’s a star. This whole story is f***** up, I hope she don’t get too stressed by this b*******, but to think once about f****** with someone elses husband next time.
f*** everything else – DID THEY SAY SHE’S STILL WITH HIM?
-Really Fantasia – he lied to you, he cheated on you, he comes with all this bagage, has you in this whole mess, he’s not cute, obviously not that smart, & he’s broke.
WHAT IS THE REASON FOR YOU BEING WITH HIM? (and if someone says love i swear to f***** god….)
She needs to snap out of this before I snap her out and remember that she has a daughter to think about not this sorry n****.
He must be laying sound good pipe!!!…………………smh @ Fanny
