Should American Idol champ be sued for adultery?
American Idol champ Fantasia Barrino took aspirin and a sleep aid after reading court documents filed by her ex-boyfriend’s wife.
The overdose Monday - a suicide attempt according to a police report posted on TMZ - came because the singer was overwhelmed by media attention and Paula Cook’s allegations, her manager said in a statement Tuesday.
Cook accuses Fantasia of having a “covert adulterous affair” and making a sex tape with her husband, Antwaun Cook. It all happened in North Carolina, a state where adultery is still a crime and those who commit it can be sued.
The 26-year-old’s manager in a statement acknowledged the relationship, but said many of Paula Cook’s claims are false.
Fantasia believed Cook when he said “he was not happy in his marriage and his heart was not in it. She believed him when he told her he and Mrs. Cook were separated late in the summer of 2009,” Brian Dickens said according to the AP.
The singer’s body is recovering, but can her career?
