Fantasia Barrino’s rep has officially confirmed reports that the American Idol winner was rushed to a North Carolina hospital Monday night after a “medication overdose.”
Barrino was taken to Carolinas Medical Center-Pineville at about 8:55 p.m. Monday, according to sources.
The sources say doctors at CMC noted that Barrino’s condition was not life-threatening.
The sources did not know what type of medication was involved, and it was not known whether the overdose was accidental or intentional. [source]
This news comes a day after Barrino made headlines for being named in a lawsuit and accused of making a sex tape with a married man, Antwaun Cook.
This shit is a way to draw attention from the sextape. Everyone will feel sorry for her and focus on her slutness.
Wish I could feel bad for her, but i don’t. You reap what you sow.
I suspect she was just trying to get some rest and go to sleep and took one pill too many. I don’t really think she was trying to commit suicide. Fantasia is stupid to get tied up with a married man but everywhere I read people are saying hardly anything about this husband. Why aren’t people beating up on him? We know Fantasia is not the only other woman. Why do you think they kept breaking up and making up. I feel sorry for the wife, but she could get more burned in this situation. This case may be the very one that causes North Carolina to get rid of this law, especially if the courts find out it was all orchestrated to take Fantasia for a ride. Maybe the wife wasn’t involved. But clearly the husband cannot be trusted. What a jerk!
shes been getin a lot of bad press lately
@ Judah- are there any celebs who have not sold their soul? you seem to think that everyone is at it.
as for fantasia, its sad that she has resorted to self-harm but i don’t feel sorry for her. i read her supposed ‘statement’ yesterday and didn’t even have the audacity to apologise to the mans wife and stayed clear of him. she obviously lacks common sense.
Jeopardized her life and career for some buster that cant keep the home he started together. Women always fall for the man that blames the wife. Dont you know, of course he is going to sugar coat his part because he has a hidden agenda. Intergrity, you must look for a man with intergrity as you would any other person you deal with and see past the sweetness. I hope she did not make a tape or call his wife and saw those awful things to her like the wife reported. Men like that dont love you, they love themselves.
U GUYS don’t get it. U have to always question the perceived reality. This is what they do to you when you won’t sell your soul. Fantasia is a church going, God fearing woman and they have been after her for years. They concoct these stories and they use the media to destroy your character. How many times have we seen this? “Overdose” and “suicide” are their code words. Maybe this was a warning to her. They are putting her on blast because she won’t give in-they tried to take her house and money before. I pray for her in the name of the Lord!
I can’t stand self-righteous people. Those with no faults. Those giving advice based upon gossip they read on blogs as if it were the ultimate truth. Unless, you know her personally, or she gave you a one-on-one sit down interview, none of you know the real story.
@shayshay
Lately? All she has ever gotten is bad press. Even when she does something positive, like improving her education, they mock her. This is nothing new.
site does not work correct under Fire Fox Mozzila 4.0 =(
Ain’t no d*ck that good where you do something like this.
All the single ladies…put ya hands up. LOL Naw, take this as a lesson learned.
Ok first of all where was Fantasia’s mom and praying grandmother. She needs solid counsel around her, however, her mom thinks that just bc fantasia is the bread winner, that she as a mom doesn’t have to be a parent anymore. I could tell from the show, when the mom stated, Fantasia pays for her brother’s education, so i let her make the decision… that the mom is a joke. I mean word to mothers: If your kids make more than you and are the supplier, don’t mean that you are no longer the parent!! Her praying grandmother and mom need to be given her solid advice, instead they letting her do whatever bc they scared the money will be taken away. Yes Fantasia was wrong! You dont get involved until you actually SEE the divorce papers.. but where was all this coverage around Alicia Keys.. who is PREGNANT.. where is all the coverage around Leanne Rhimes and the millions of people who cheat. Same with Tiger Woods.. Coverage is only high when the person is Black. Fantasia needs to fire her publicist, manager, and get a whole new team.. But actually I think it’s a lil too late… Stick to gospel fantasia.. you sound better singing that anyways
@ DominicanChild if your Pastor is having the say (oppose to the word of God) who can or cannot come to “his” church than that is saying a ton right there, aside from your post people that aren’t Christians and think we are a joke please believe not everybody that says they are a Christian are!! Jesus even says when the stand before Him He will say depart from Me I never knew you.
Anyway it is true that Fantasia needs the real thing, let go of the religion that Grandma has fed her and get the real deal. It’s a sad situation she probably looks at her life as if cursed when she’s misguided.
Overdose over a man Please! this story is so untrue, who in their Right mind would overdose over a damn man, especially a no good Black one!
Fantasia is from the Projects, she has been rejected so many times it’s like pouring
water on a ducks back!
she clearly has other issues!
I hope this does not effect her Voice, the girl can Sang!

Ya’ll are so DUMB! My post doesn’t mention anything about my pastors not allowing anyone into their church. They welcome everyone and anyone.! I was giving a “false thought” of what my pastors might of thought( which they will never turn their back on people), then that’s when I said they would shower her down with the Holy Ghost/blessings in order to turn her life around and help her with the situation that she’s going through. Ya’ll are so STUPID and IGNORANT! Learn some damn common sense and how to read a joke!
@11. You are entirely dumb! Just because she comes to visit my church doesn’t mean that her behavior now reflects the image of my pastors or my church!!!! People can say they are Christians and go to church every Sunday, and still act as hypocrites; probably hoeing around, stealing, lying,etc. You might be a damn hypocrite your damn self.
she has always had the great american story…. overcome all adversities-prove people wrong- all the good stuff to make a lifetime movie now this comes out… attempting suicide is a great way to get public sympathy… but last year when the pics came out she denied even knowing the guy… i don’t think she ‘overdosed’ over the guy but over the facts that starting to come out in the divorce hearing(sex tape, her comments to wifey)… but she must have known people would find out.. I wish her the best though…neither she or dude is worth the mess they put themselves through.
She’s “reportedly od-ing” b/c people are aware of her money issues and so they attribute her sudden illness to depression about fiscal concerns.
We need to know how to invest our money. We’ve got more cash as black people in America than most developing nations, yet we do not know how to invest it.
Take for example today – - the stock market has crashed over 2% so far. But some people are making money, and lots of it! It’s called SHORTING the market.
People who bought stock symbols like FAZ, EDZ, DPK, TZA are presently making up to 10% today on their investment. Put in $10,000, make $1000, OVER NIGHT.
Open a virtual account and read all you can to learn how to trade… use indicators like MACD, and positive divergence. Also look for changes in williams %R from extremes.
@stox-stan, Dude…BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT TRY TO COMMIT SUICIDE OVA MONEY PROBLEMS!! Tasia is from da hood and southern at dat…Black people are RESILIENT…Sh!t, sometimes we got it, sometimes we don’t…we work wit it. DAT is ONE of our strengths. She suffers from depression. I would hate to see your peeps in da hospital…yo azz be handin out stock tips instead of compassion…
She also looks GORGEOUS in dat pic! Good to see da support, ya’ll!! Tasia, get betta gurl!! Ya know I’mma be talkin bout dat azz when you betta! Your music has brought me joy, baby! *Smile* Luv you fo dat!
FANTASHIA IS LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES!
Folks over @ RWS cracking jokes…they say Fanny wasn’t trying to commit suicide but that she just couldn’t read the instructions correctly…lol…so wrong yet funny….
Everyone is always so quick to point the blame. Truth o fthe matter is, is that no knows what Fantasia is going through. So don’t be so quick to point blame and judge… I hope she gets better and does her…. Love ya Tasia…
I feel nothing for her . She is a poor excuse for a woman with her actions and behavior. No one deserves to have their heart broken, but Fantasia brought this upon herself. She made her bed hard and, now, she must lay in it.
I will keep her in my prayers.
II hope she is okay! So many diffrent stories floating around!
Fanny keep your head up!!
Lovely, I agree with you 100%.
ANGEL UPDATE THIS SITE ALREADY! PHUCK!
80. Bloodclot Rhaaatttiidd,
How dare you speak to Angel that way! Can’t you see CL is posting ads for IKEA and Fanta sodas and $#!T? lol She needs time away from this site to spend some of that cash. My only advice is that she put something away for a rainy day. Don’t be like Scottie Pippen who is flat broke after a basketball career that paid him in excess of $127 million. Most athletes and hip-hop artist end up broke. That’s all most 100% of the people that we comment about on CL. Tasia’s broke; Wesley’s broke; Dennis is broke; the Fat Boys are broke; N Sync Boy Band members are broke. They all end up broke. So hopefully, Angel’s not out buying bling and cars, because the 15 minutes of fame is the real albatross knocking at the front door with a pizza that noboby ordered..
I agree with Chardia too. Too many single men to be bother with a married one especially from a dam Tmobile store. chile please..get better Fanny, Zion needs you.
@ MEAT…do you see how the phuck Angel look?…No amount of money could save ANGEL..& Why the phuck did your mother name you ANGEL…did she not see u after birth…PHUCK!…
@ Bloodclot Rhaaatttiidd…I happen to like Angel the person as well as the way she looks. But, her looks are not what I notice as much as her swag. The girls definitely has game. She is an Angel! Anyhow, it doesn’t matter what you or I think, because she’s more into softball and the WNBA. lol
Fantasia sweetheart I hope you get better!
I have you and yours in my prayers!!
Wow @ the backhanded comments from MEAT.
Fantasia’s manager and PR team are stupid for giving that detailed explanation of her relationship with a married man and her attempt at committing suicide due to an emotional breakdown. Who does that and keeps their image in tact? White people have just dismissed her, if they were ever even paying attention to her. Remain silent. Speak when the media hype blows over.
That racist country hick Nancy Grace dragged her name through the mud. Wonder why they didn’t do Alicia Keys that way hhmmmm. And she was pregnant? Baby was conceived during Swiss’ marriage to Mashonda, yet no major headlines. And is that even a headline? American news is a joke. It’s been reduced to celebrity scandal, while wars are being fought and drastic weather changes are taking place. They seriously keep American citizens dumbed waaay down.
I love Fantasia and I sincerely hope she gets better. I don’t know if its clear or not if this is a suicide attempt or not, in either case she has my well wishes. I do not judge. I think adultery is wrong, but we don’t really know what’s going on with this story. Even if she is in the wrong, she is a human and who are we to judge. I think its sad that these celebrities have to play out there worst moments in front of the world. Its so unfortunate.
@thrasher – - – hmm….
Have you heard about her money issues?? It’s enough make even the most resilient black people crumble….
she bought 2 houses, but one was in foreclosure…
she has a family who is completely living off of her… even on her TV show, her brother went to the lambo dealership… said, “my sister is Fantasia”, and the dealer let him ‘buy’ the car – merely on her name! With uncontrollably expensive and stressful people who are suddenly your dependents, you’ll be searching for peace in all the wrong places (thus, why Ms. Barrino is allegedly searching for companionship from a married man)….
Hate me for it if you want, but I do look at conflict , even in the home, as often being tied to financial management abilities or really, the lack thereof… You’ve gotta admit that she’s not the only one like this. Many hundreds of Black celebs don’t know how to manage their money, and it has seen and unseen consequences… we need to take lessons from their mistakes to improve ourselves. Right?
And no stock tips here… I’m jus trying to put you on some knowledge.
We love you Fantasia we are ready for your new CD please get better this not worst and keep your head up.
We love you Fantasia we are ready for your new CD please get better this not worst and keep your head up.
Im not going to even attempt to suggest I know what happened to her . I just hope she gets well!!
I heard about it from another site, but I didn’t believe that it was true. I hope she seeks help from this problem, thank God it wasn’t worse, she has such a beautiful voice, not to mention she has a young daughter to take care of.
Where are all the “Black” sites supporting this sista. I know she is a praying sister with a praying family. The price of fame and fortune is too high. They run yur name thru the mud. Bless Fantasia and her family. I hope u see this message.
GOD DONT LIKE UGLY! FANTASIA IS A HOODRAT N SHE JUST WANTS SOME ATTENTION….SORRY BOO BOO FANNY BUT UR NOT REALLY RELEVANT ONLY HOODRATS CAN RELATE TO HER!
HEY FANTASIA ,
IF BY CHANCE U OR ANY OF YOUR FOLKS SEE THIS, I JUST WANT U TO KNOW THAT I AM PRAYING FOR YOU. WE ALL GO THRU THINGS THAT CAN
PUSH US CLOSE TO THE EDGE BUT NOTHING!!!!!!! IS TO HARD FOR GOD,SO
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP ,STAY PRAYED UP & KNOW THAT THIS TOO SHALL
PASS.
JUST WANTED U TO KNOW THAT U DO HAVE A REAL PERSON OUT HERE
THAT’S PRAYING FOR YOU AND CARES. BE BLESSED
What is so appealing about screwing someone else’s husband? I will pray for Fantasia, but here of late, too many of our sisters have been caught with the panies down to a man that does not belong to them (Alicia Keyes, Gabrielle Union, etc). How do you even begin to justify that somehow God will bless you in mess like that?
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU COMMIT ADULTERY OR HAVE PREMARITAL SEX. BELIEVE ME I HAVE DONE ALL OF THAT TOO. UNWANTED PREGNANCIES, WEDLOCK BABIES, DISEASES, ETC. WE BETTA WAKE UP AND LOCK DOWN WITH THE BIBLE. TIMES ARE NOT GETTING BETTA PEOPLE, THEY R GETTING WORSE. I FOR ONE WANT TO AT LEAST TRY AND BE IN THE RIGHT PAIR OF SHOES, U GET MY DRIFT? WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND FANTASIA STARTED OFF AS A YOUNG MOTHER, NOT FULLY GROWING UP. NO GUIDANCE FROM HER MOTHER OR FAMILY EXCEPT TO USE UP ALL OF HER MONEY. I HOPE FANTASIA CAN START LOVING HERSELF AND ESPECIALLY HER CHILD MORE THAN A MAN. MUCH LOVE TO FANTASIA AND I HOPE SHE FIND HER WAY BACK TO GOD.
