*Wow. The Fantasia Barrino/Antwuan Cook story just keeps getting juicer and juicer. Or sadder and sadder, depending on your point of view.
Here’s the latest.
According to online reports, on Monday, in court, under oath, Fantasia testified to aborting her unborn child with Cook, around the time she attempted suicide.
The bombshell confession came during her ex-lover’s divorce hearing with his ex-wife Paula Cook.
Barrino acknowledges they dated “off and on for about 11 months” but was told by Cook that he was separated from his wife.
Paula cook is attempting to cash-in on an obscure North Carolina law that allows a cheated on spouse to file an Alienation of Affection lawsuit.
Alienation of Affection is a law recognized by only seven states and North Carolina is one of them.
During the divorce proceedings, Paula Cook’s lawyer questioned Barrino about her relationship with Antwuan Cook, trying to show that Fantasia knew he was married. To prove her assertion, Mrs. Cook’s attorney claimed that Barrino and Cook reserved a hotel room a few days after they met, which according to her, illustrated that Barrino knew he was married. However, Barrino and Cook have continued to claim they were together only after Cook and his wife separated.

Wow, while I sympathize with her pain, after having one child out of wedlock, protection should have been on her agenda until or if she decides to marry.
And in this day and age, protection is a factor that should be considered for all singles and marrieds(a.k.a.tippers.
Don’t want to sound judgmental but in every pic I see of him he looks very arrogant.
While I recognize that Mrs. Cook is justifiably angry, seems her anger should be directed towards her sorry husband as he was the one who made vows to her. While I don’t condone Fantasia, she really doesn’t owe Mrs. Cook the time of day and I think this is a frivolous lawsuit, statute or no. She is seeking to embarass and make money off of Fantasia ( Fantasia you reap what you sow) and she needs to
Actually, what Fantasia lawyer should be doing, is challenging it on constitutional grounds. It’s hard for me to see that law passing constitutional muster, unless they willing to admit that NC is under Sharia law.
She needs to take this up with her husband.
Butter’, they took all their business to the streets, where commenced to “scrappin’”. Remember, Bonita Bertrells’ were in high demand back in the day. I don’t want to judge her either but, in this day and age of “instant information gratification”, she knew damn fuckin’ well he was married. Then let him do her raw in 3 days!! Stupid ass got set/knocked up, then uses the excuse of an o’d, when all the while she was “hoovering” away her mistake. Ghetto is as ghetto does. Chil’, think of your daughter, instead of getting your stoked. smdh
Well the news of Fantasia being pregnant by Mr Cook does not surprise me in the least. I knew there was more to this sorted tale.
Where is Tasia’s publicist
Why the *ell did she publicly admit to doing this….DANG!!! And Fantasia needs to stop lying about knowing this man was married. If she didn’t initially know she soon found out. Lesson learned don’t deal with folks who are “separated”. Separated means you can easily reconcile.
As much as I like Fantasia, something’s wrong…something is seriously wrong.
I like her too and currently enjoying her c.d., but, I totally agree with you, RSMI – there is something deep and disturbing about this young woman……
Nightshift I agree that she probably knew. But knowing or not, it’s the one who is married that owes it to the wife. And I am not excusing Fantasia cause she was in the wrong, but she didn’t marry this lady. He did.
While this is an awful situation, Ms. Cook should really focus her anger toward her husband. A woman can’t take your man from you, he has to already want to be gone!!!
actually the alienation of affection law is to sue someone who “contributed” to the break up of a marriage….so even though the husband is the one that is married, fantasia did contribute to the break up of a marriage. she didn’t do it alone, her and that clown equally did it. just like if i commit a crime with someone, i’m an accessory to the crime not my fault alone but together me & that person committed the crime. this should be a lesson learned for fantasia, no dick is worth all of this mess!
Fantasia is probably not the first one he has cheated with. I think because of her (I guess)celebrity status, his wife chose to go after her. She’s not claiming that she didn’t know he was married, but that he told her he was seperated. And even that’s conflicting from what was said on her show Sunday. He told her that he FINALLY got his own apartment (a one bedroom…I guess that’s all you can get working at TMobile) which leads me to believe that he had been living with his wife. But I’m just assuming. He could have been living with his brother or cousin…I dunno…

Why wouldn’t the wife be angry at Skankasia as well? She knew the situation and didn’t give a hoot. She is just exhibiting typical human behavior. Skankasia wants this out in the open because she is trying to promote her new album. You know the whole story, try to commit take a bunch of pills errr commit suicide, all of a sudden on Lopez tonight, reality show, next thing you know she gonna be in some porno. This is from a girl who grew up in the church and knows better. I think she has some mental issues personally. I guess you would have to if u think taking 100 Fred Flintstone vitamins will kill ya.. Big Dummy…
And?…in other “niggah news”! (said in a newscaster’s voice!)
I have a couple of questions, was she subpoenaed (sp?) to testify at the divorce hearing? And how did they know she was pregnant/had an abortion? Also, if he has admitted to being with the wife while he was still with Fantasia, going on trips, etc, then how was she aliented of affection? Sounds to me like Fanny is being played by both of them for money! This is one mistake she is definitely going to pay for! Smh
@jackson757 fantasia testified and said that she was pregnant & aborted the baby that’s how they knew.
Does alienation of affection go hand in hand with the divorce procedings?? Is it the grounds used for the divorce or can someone sue someone using this law and not divorce their spouse??
I truly wished she would have kept this issue out of the public. This is quite personal Fanny. I wish she get under Patti, Re-Re or Chaka’s wing for a bit and learn from them.
Dang I guess I made the women mad again. First Skankasia then Ms. TPerry. Oh well…
This stupid hood rat don’t even suggest a condom for a broke nig?
Man u betta stop for these women get on you.. She probably would just blow it into a balloon.
He must have put it on Tasia like a porn star. It was so good, she got that nugga’s name tattooed on her chest knowing he was married??? Even if he showed her divorce papers, she probably couldn’t read them no way…
Even if he showed her divorce papers, she probably couldn’t read them no way…
OMG…Stephanie…No you didn’t…LOL…LOL…LOL
“Mama I smoked the papers mama” LOL
Nobody has ever accused her of being a Rhodes Scholar! Hush it Fanny!
And after seeing the most recent episode of her show I’m not convinced she’s done with him since he’s got his “one-bedroom” apartment and stuff. Who knows she’s probably paying the rent on it.
Thought she was pregnant when she was throwing up on her reality show. It is a hard price to pay for her arrogance. I remember in the beginning on how the affair started, an article stated she went after him in the phone store where he worked when she came into the store and saw him. Pure ego-tripping/arrogance that you can have anything anyone anyhow anywhere without consequences. A lesson learned for Fantasia that this is not true. Consequences are blared in the media.
Female baby killer.
People do dumbshit for love all the time. Anyone hear who has not made a serious judgment error for “love” is a goddamn liar or they just haven’t lived. With that said Fantasia was probably under oath and had to testify because she was probably staring at the medical records as she spoke. We all know if this would have been La Quisha down the street none of this shit would be happening. Antuawn’s babymomma is just another scorned female. She needs to direct that energy to healing and raising her child!!!
