Fantasia's Manager Gives Details On Asprin & Sleep Aid Overdose

Fantasia's manager Brian Dickens is giving details about her medication overdose in North Carolina. Why Fantasia hit this low point...and the suicide attempt police report...when you read on...
CNN's HLN just reported that the overdose was indeed caused by Fantasia taking asprin with sleep aids. And her manager Brian, who was the person who called 9-1-1 after finding Fantasia, tells media:
"Yesterday, she was totally overwhelmed by the lawsuit and the media attention alleging she was involved with married man."
"Last night, Fantasia was hospitalized. She took an overdose of aspirin and a sleep aid. Her injuries are not life threatening. She was dehydrated and exhausted at the time. Fantasia is stable now. She will be released from the hospital soon."
Wow. She's expected to go home today. Fantasia also said, through her manager, that she's heartbroken and sorry for any pain she may have caused. She also says she believed Antoine was separated.

Goodness. This is a mess.

New inspirational book
New inspirational book provides guidance to women who need to find God
Heeding to Women’s Silent Cries
author N.L. Robinson has kept a journal of her journey through pain, sorrow, and eventual redemption. In a book released through Xlibris, she unveils, for the first time, her inspiring story as she sheds light to other women with Responding to the Call: A Single Mother’s Transition from Believing the World to Trusting God.
Women, especially single women and single moms, and women struggling under the pressures of relationships and responsibilities to family, friends, church, God, and the men in their lives, are the main focus of this edifying book. It suggests that despite the fact that they need pure guidance, single women and single divorced women often receive little or no guidance toward developing a personal relationship with God. It openly provides solace to women in coping with feelings of low self-esteem, self-doubt, frustration, and disappointment. The author, having been through all these tribulations, now reaches out her hand to provide readers with insight that will assist them in understanding that living away from God causes one to lose sight of the importance of family, causes one to desire and seek those things that ultimately cause severe pain and long suffering.
Regardless of cultural or ethnic background, Responding to the Call: A Single Mother’s Transition from Believing the World to Trusting God takes the reader by the hand to get away from social or self-inflicted pains and towards the light of the real savior, God. For more information on this book, log on to www.Xlibris.com.

In MY days of living on this
In MY days of living on this earth I have been taught by older women, pastors, my grandmother, and men. Yes men. That we as black and beautiful women should respect ourselves and DEMAND that others do the same. I dont know that many will get this when reading, but a young, black street man said, "if a woman dont stand for something, she will settle for anything". Whether good or bad, we have to lay in the beds we make by our decisions we choose to make. Allegedly trying to commit suicide is not the answer. You wanted this man came hell or high water, calling telling the wife how Antwan didnt want her. Making sex tapes with Antawn and buying him motorcycles, to taking pictures at the beach hand in hand. Now you have him and Your not happy, and being sued by the other party. Didnt think this would happen huh? This man caused you a lawsuit and overdose, you a beautiful black girl, sweetie, know you and next time dont settle.

First of all she can't learn
First of all she can't learn from the erros of her ways when so many people has forgiven her without her even saying she was sorry for the way she treated Paula and her babies. If she comes out of this without consequences she will repeat it. Next time it will probably be worst. And, while it is a given that God will be her judge, if this goes to court as an alienation of affection, 12 jurors and or a judge will judge her, as well. Public people are always judged in times like these, and Tasia will not be an exception. She needs a good lawyer speaking on her behalf and for God's sake keep your mouth shut!!! Did she really think that stating the guy was separated helped her case? Instead of going skiing with that double crossing Antwan she should having been using that money to pay creditors and getting that million dollar home in Charlotte out of foreclosure. And that's for real Tasia. I would say the same thing if your were my blood sister.
9:01 pm - Aug 11, '10
Tasia don't have to apologize
Tasia don't have to apologize to Paula, she has done nothing to Paula. you should be directing that statement to Antwan. Paula started this hoopla by naming Tasia in her divorce.. she is the one that choose to marry a man that don't respect her or her kids. that's not Tasia fault... Tasia is no home wrecker.. Antwan is a grown ass man with a freedom of choice.. Only women with low self esteem, choose to blame the women Paula is acting like a gold digger. its her bad that her husband don't love her.

I'm sorry even the stupidest
I'm sorry even the stupidest women know when their man is married. She was just in denial. As for the attempted suicide...how you attempt suicide with aspirin? Sleep aid could mean anything from Advil PM to Lunesta & they didn't say it was prescription. I don't know but it seems like she's creating a buzz for the album about to drop cuz no one is that dumb!

This is all out of hand no
This is all out of hand no one should be quick to judge not one of us can say that we have not fallen short of the grace , so who can you talk about no one. Just pray for her and hope that she is ok and wish her well dont be so quick to knock a person when they are down.
2:49 pm - Aug 11, '10
I am so glad "man" will not
I am so glad "man" will not judge me when that day comes. we are human we all sin and fall short. no one knows what went on in that relationship but most have something negative to say about this woman. I guess those commenters are free of sin?? thank God for being forgiving loving and compassionate!
2:12 pm - Aug 11, '10
I agree with your statement.
I agree with your statement. We all make mistakes. We're human in a imperfect world. Let's keep her in our prayers and move forward.

Throughout the course
Throughout the course of
Throughout the course of their adulterous affair, upon information and belief, Defendant/Husband and Ms. Barrino have at times recorded their illicit sexual activity,” the complaint alleges.
Mrs. Cook also claims Barrino tattooed her husband’s last name on her upper left shoulder and showered him with “lavish benefits” including flying him around the country and taking him to celebrity parties and award shows.
12:48 pm - Aug 11, '10
The documents even recall
The documents even recall Fantasia leaving a message for Mrs. Cook in which she said: “He don’t want you. Maybe the next time that you get a husband you’ll know how to keep him. That’s why he is here with me.”
12:43 pm - Aug 11, '10
Paula is pissed cause she
Paula is pissed cause she don't have Tasia money, she the one that married a man that don't love her and her kids... that's not Tasia fault.. any man that loves his wife and kids wouldn't just up an leave for no other woman even if that woman was a celebrity.. Paula is a gold digger in denial...
3:11 pm - Aug 25, '10
We can be mean people and
We can be mean people and quick to judge....Fantasia nor Mr. cook own any of us an explanation...The facts will come out and we all need a life...That includes me too....

Fantasia , girl god is the
Fantasia , girl god is the only judge you come from a strong background look to god for all of your health and strenth dont let mand tear you down. There is always going to be someone that feels that they can judge you but for all of those that feel that they are judges they will be judged. May God Bless you and Keep you I will be praying for you, keep your head up you are a strong beautiful black woman.

The Bile says "Faith without
The Bile says "Faith without works is dead". I take that as she can pray all she wants for His mercer but if she does'nt work to improve her wrongness, her efforts will certainly fail. The way I see it is God placed her in that situation to make her a better person. I'm not too keen on believing someone can use their god given talents and monies to wreck havoc on other people's lives. I PRAY FOR PAULA COOK AND HER BABIES!!!! first and foremost. They will need God's help more. The father is no longer in the home and this has imposed stress on them. Tasia allowed her lustful need for sex to destroy her and her career, and for that I rather think about the needs of Paula and the babies. I DON'T care what happens to a person who allows sexual demands to determine their destiny. Never have, never will. Their is just too many decent places to lay my concerns. Like Paula and her babies. I pray God will get them through this without too much more stress on their lives.

WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!
WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!! Fantasia was in the public eye. We as blacks helped put her there. I considered her a role model for all young, black females trying to live a decent and christian life in the hood. One day, while listening to her on television talk her christianity, I recorded it to play back in my young girls youth group. I personally feel she owes these girls an apology if not for them than for herself to begin mending from this atrocity. She has to repent and make restitution to Paula and these minor babies. Maybe then she can show how dangerous and indignant such behavior was, and the young girls in my youth group group won't make the same mistake.
1:04 pm - Aug 11, '10
how can u possibly shoulder
how can u possibly shoulder the blame on Tasia.. furthermore SHOw ME A CHRISTIAN THAT HAS NEVER SINNED... in God eyes all sin is equal.. what Tasia needs is support not condemnation by fellow sinners...
3:02 pm - Aug 25, '10
Fantasia is a sorry excuse
Fantasia is a sorry excuse for a women,pics don't lie and it was clear from the beginning that she was involved with this man.She got caught and now she trying to dig her way out and i have no remorse for her.
10:36 am - Aug 11, '10
I dare you say something like
I dare you say something like that to this woman you don't know what was said to her from this man and you sound like a woman scorned so you can not judge this woman you need to just pray for her and not judge. This man could have told her anything you were not there and if you was then you should have told her the truth. Let's not bring her down she does not need this uplift her and let her know that she is a child of God.
2:36 pm - Aug 11, '10
Both are wrong all of us have
Both are wrong all of us have done wrong and it was not blasted on the news media. What if Antwan and his wife set Fanny up. How did the wife see the sex tapes? Just asking
11:40 am - Aug 11, '10
I really don't feel sorry for
I really don't feel sorry for Fantasia. She made this bed and now she is laying in it. And I really don't think she tried to kill herself. I think she wants sympathy because her cd is about to drop and I heard her label is thinking about dropping her and so is the Broadway play because of this. She is about to lose so much behind this, because of some married man. Yes, married man. He was married and she knew it and lied about it. She lied to everyone and you can't tell me that she didn't know. Those court documents reveal so much about her true character. She's not a woman of God, she's a hypocrite. A woman of God would had valued someone's marriage and would had told that man to go back home to his wife and kids. Yes, it does take two to tango, but she's in the public eye and she put her life on display. She did this to herself, she's the one with the reality show putting her life out there for the world to see. We all make mistakes but this mistake that she and this man have made has affected so many innocent people. I pray for all of them, we're not perfect but these children did nothing to deserve this.
10:30 am - Aug 11, '10
I soooo agree and am so glad
I soooo agree and am so glad I am not the only one who feels this way. Why would she have taken Tylenol? Doesn't everyone know that ain't gonna do sh*t?
Here career is in the sh*tter and it pretty much always has been. But look now, she has sold her sole to the devil himself and now everyone wants to talk to her...she is back in the limelight. And umm, why isn't she is a mental institution? I know they'd lock my ass up if I did some sh*t like that.
12:43 pm - Aug 24, '10
Wow! A man can say he's
Wow! A man can say he's separated, married, whatever. If he's got a wife and kids, girlfriend or significant other, leave him be. Its not worth it. Paula and Mashonda ain't playin with yall, they are serious...stay off their turf. LOL- On a more serious note, as much as black men cheat, too many black women are all too willing to assist them with their deception. So, its a dual problem. Do you know how many people are pushin up daisies and incarcerated because of this type of drama. Its nothing to play with. When adults choose to go down this road, they will never know where it can lead. Just keep that in mind.

He is getting a divorce and
He is getting a divorce and was probably not happy. So what is the big deal
9:56 am - Aug 11, '10
The big deal is that he made
The big deal is that he made vows to God and when you do that you have to honor them. They are both wrong and need to repent and Fanny needs to go on with her life without a cheater
1:03 pm - Aug 11, '10
ifind it hard to feel bad for
ifind it hard to feel bad for her bc ibelieve she knew what she was doing . not to sound heartless but even if she didnt know he was married if sure she found out along the way w. all the media attention and whatnot and she still continued to have a very public outings with this man. she made her bed and now she has to lie in it and idk what people expected her p.r team to say . idont think theres anything anyone at this point can say to save her. but ido know she has a child so she needs to quit with this suicidal crap . even if her career is permanently ruined by this she has far more important things to live for. lets get it together fanny.
9:30 am - Aug 11, '10
This is exactly why I've
This is exactly why I've given up on the black church. Christians are Hypocrites!!! Anyone can see that Fanny is Ignorant. This ish happens everyday in every hood. Her daughter should come first over a man. Where is this GOD of yours now? You call him but does he answer? She needs to accept responsibility for her OWN actions and suffer the consequences.
9:20 am - Aug 11, '10
Since you claim to be holy
Since you claim to be holy then you need to check yourself right now and not judge you are wrong there is only one judge and all you know about what's going on is what you have read so get it together this is none of our business.
2:45 pm - Aug 11, '10
All Christians are not
All Christians are not hyprocrites. Not everyone who claims they are christians are. The bible says to test the spirit and know if its from God. You will also know what kind of a tree a tree is by the fruit it bears. In these last days false Christ-ians will be exposed, but that should not keep you from church or from Jesus because we are commanded to not forsake the assembly of the Lord. Stop focusing on so called believers and get yourself right because every man will have to give an account for himself on judgement day. Pray for Fantasia in the hopes she will find true salvation and she will learn to fear the Lord and not commit adultery which the Lord hates.
10:37 am - Aug 11, '10
last time I checked the
last time I checked the Bible/scriptures say that CHURCH is where 2 OR MORE GATHER IN MY NAME (ie:Christ) - Matt. 18:20. So that being said he/she is right......you can have "church" on the street corner, in your home on the couch or in a checkout line. CHURCH!!!!! Let me stop preaching to the amen choir. Betcha didn't know that the brick and mortar church is PAGAN....No? Google these two you tubers: The ForeRunner777 and Ringo4Life. Learn my fellow black people. Christ never told us to build these churches and flock to them on Sunday. The sabbath is on Saturday...but I'm too deep.
And this story about Fantasia is one of the reasons why the "black church" in it's current state is nothing more but a mockery. Pure foolishness is all that goes down. Gays in the choir? Come on? Where is that in the bible? Y'all playing around and the Most High ain't pleased.
Get right.

you dont know wat you are
you dont know wat you are saying. The Church is da body of Christ which represents the people. There is no biblical truth that supports that a church building is pagan. Lastly we are realeased fron the law and there fore should not be judged for what day we choose to put aside and honor the Lord. Christ rose on A Sunday so as Believers we honor him on that day and dedicate that day to him specifically. Get your facts right before you blur things about the Holy Scriptures. Thank you
10:30 am - Aug 11, '10
the BLACK church? Why not
the BLACK church? Why not just church in general? I know you haven't forgotten about all of the pedophile priests in the catholic church, and their far-reaching cover-up? Talk about hypocrites.
At the end of the day, we are all human, and with that all somewhat hypocritical at times. Don't point at just the church. Hypocrisy is inherent in us all, whether in small or large doses.
9:59 am - Aug 11, '10
I'm sorry but I can not feel
I'm sorry but I can not feel bad for Fantasia. The thought of her taking her life and leaving her DAUGHTER parent-less over some man is very selfish to be. She needs to look at the bigger picture here.
9:16 am - Aug 11, '10
I donot think she was trying
I donot think she was trying to take her life over a man. I feel that she was in pain over the lawsuit and what people like you are saying about her. We as black people need to stop stepping on people when they are down.
9:56 am - Aug 11, '10
no, you're wrong. it just
no, you're wrong. it just came out that she was upset over all this and that Antwan (the husband) left her. Again. She is one low self esteem chick. All that money and fame is from the devil hiimself because it sure ain't been a blessing to her. She just don't know what to do with herself.
Ugh, and how HOOD is it to prance on stage with no shoes on....country bumpkin she is....so unlady like...
10:12 am - Aug 11, '10
my point exactly- i don't
my point exactly- i don't care how u slice or dice this, a man caused this dramma with your help and u didn't love you daughter enough to live for her instead ur whoring ways made u attempt suicide.

I think what happened was
I think what happened was Fanny believed everything he said, like so many. He probably kicked that he doesn't love her and has been wanting a divorce but she won't give it to him, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, when Fanny read the court documents that we lengthy she releazed that he lied about somethings and she is in fact a homewrecker. People talk about Alicia, but the difference here is that he actually was still living and sleeping with this woman. They were officially together and no papers were ever filed until recently. When she saw all of this, she was afraid that it would effect her music, her sales, her image, etc. and she tried to self medicate. It is very sad and I hope she can bounce back. I think her cd will be the bomb and I really hope this doesn't effect it too much. SHe does need to get rid of the man cause he has been trouble from day one.
9:10 am - Aug 11, '10
Mr Cook is as wrong as Fanny,
Mr Cook is as wrong as Fanny, for straying a way in a marriage. People warn Fanny for continuing a relationship with a married man. Even Wendy Williams spoke up about Fanny when she first start dating Cook.
9:08 am - Aug 11, '10
As a woman, you know when
As a woman, you know when your man is stepping out and you know when he's stepping out with you on another female. We (women) are not stupid by far and we know; hell intuition knows off the break and that bitch don't play. This is sad for her because she was on the verge of coming back out with a nice CD and her fans were looking forward to her touring since the Color Purple.
What is wrong?? Are we afraid that all the men are snapped up; so we decide that we're just going to go in and do a snatch and grab. I just don't get it. It is true that people date while separated but why not have enough self respect to preserve YOURSELF as a LADY and demand that he treats you as such. If you show a man that you don't respect yourself, what makes you think that he will? I will never understand why we value relationships far more than our self worth. Because in the end; that relationship may end but you will always remain.
