*A lawyer for Fantasia’s married boyfriend Antwaun Cook has come forward to comment on the pair’s affair and his split from wife Paula Cook, stating the “American Idol” winner is not to blame for his marital woes.
“Antwaun would be remiss not to address the criticism and judgment he has received,” Cook’s lawyer, Nicole Sodoma, said Wednesday in a statement. “He knew Fantasia Barrino but the failure of his marriage can in no way be blamed on anyone except the two people that were a part of the union – Paula and Antwaun.”
Fantasia, 26, admitted that she and Antwaun were dating “off and on for about 11 months” but said she believed he had separated from his wife.
“[Paula and Antwaun] expected their marriage to stand the test of time,” adds Sodoma. “Unfortunately, like many marriages, it did not turn out as planned. In late summer 2009, after years of discussion, the parties separated with the intention of no longer being married.”
Cook’s wife, however, stated in court documents that the couple split on June 16, 2010.
A lawyer for Barrino had no comment when asked if the singer and Cook were still a couple, according to People.com. The two were recently spotted meeting up at a park near her North Carolina home – with camera crews in tow for her reality show, “Fantasia for Real,” according to a source.
well we know it’s not fantasia’s fault….it’s your no good, cheating azz fault! the marriage may have ended for him last summer but he failed to let his wife know until this year….AZZHOLE!!

Your stance on this has been hilarious. How do you know what or when he and his wife discussed nething beyond what is being reported here? You went on the attack when this first hit talking about judging this foolishness unfairly. Yet, you seem to KNOW what he did or did not tell his wife.
So I’ma say that the wife is a bold-faced lie. She knew last year when these rumors surfaced that it was a wrap for them.
He’s a cheating azzhole!
She’s an asylum worthy LIAR!

I think that about covers it.
Again, I hope wifey doesn’t get ONE DIME OF FANTASIA’s money by dragging her children through this mud. This is about HIS cheating and THEIR marriage. To HELL with North Carolina’s “alienation of affection law.”
” … after years of discussion”???? YEARS??? WTF?? I suppose wifey tried to pull the “let me get pregnant with another baby routine. That’ll hold him.” Apparently NOT.
Hot debate. What do you think?

@musbdherbs the same way you claim i act like i know what happened, you act like you know what happened too….i’m doing the same thing you are doing “speculating.” no matter what you say, he was married & messing with somebody else so you can call it however you want to but clearly he was a cheater cheater pumpkin eater whether his wife knew last or this year he’s still married.

And clearly Fantasia knew he was married so they both share the blame. And like I said, Fantasia had the chance from the door to tell dude that she didn’t want to bothered with a married man or “holla at me when your marriage is a wrap.” He didn’t steal the couchie, she offered it up willingly to a married man. Nuff said!

Snick, I never said it was all HER fault. I agreed with Musbdherbs and said BOTH of them were at fault. I didn’t mean to make it sound like BOTH of them weren’t involved in dragging the children through the mud.

That’s a load of bullshit. It takes 2 to tangle. Fantasia knew that he was married & had not only the opportunity to, but a duty to tell him to “kick rocks!” I don’t see why at this point people still want to give her an out for being just as responsible, if not more responsible for this whole thing as the dude is.

Bottom Line; There is his story, her story, and the TRUTH, of which None of Us Knows!!!!
I do think that Paula knew her marriage was in trouble, but like so many women did not face the fact that it was. Then to compound the situation, she allowed herself to become pregnant with another child. I say the SHE ALLOWED herself to become pregnant, because no one else can control what you do with your own body.
I believe (because I don’t know) that Antwaun, was playing both ends against the middle (like most men will). I believe he did tell Fantasia that he was separated, & not living in the home. I can’t believe that she would knowingly enter into an affair with a man that was living with his wife.
“Men cheat because Women allow it” They cannot cheat by themselves. Ladies it all about self respect!!! It’s one thing to think that a MAN is separated from his wife because he lies, and tells you he is. It is quite another thing to have a relationship with a MAN that is married and the Woman (mistress) knows he is still married.
Ladies, remember this if you don’t remember anything else. If a Man cheats on his Wife or Girlfriend, with You, HE WILL CHEAT ON YOU ALSO!!!!

I really wish that people would leave this story alone, because at this point it’s all obvious that Fantasia & this dude are trying to capitalize of this whole situation. They’ll keep fucking, she’ll keep paying his way, and she’ll get a lot more sales of her next album & viewers for her reality show because of this whole mess. I lost a lot of respect for Fantasia. Not because she decided to deal with a married man, but because she’s choosing to capitalize off of it now. I would really like to see this whole thing back-fire!

First and foremost, if someone is married they are forbidden territory. If divorce is in the making, then wait until it’s final.
Admitting to the suicide attempt is selfish she didn’t even think about how her daughter would live/survive without her. That would have created a 3rd generation without direction, all because she thought she was entitled to someone else’s husband.
