Well, this is unsettling: Fantasia Barrino admitted to VH1′ s docuseries Behind the Music that she indeed tried to kill herself two weeks ago , following reports of her affair with a married man. Isn’t Behind the Music supposed to be about subjects who’ve moved on from difficult life episodes? Or, rather, subjects who can convince us they’ve moved on? The gap between “suicide attempt” and “inspiring docuseries recovery story” should probably be longer than a fortnight. Details follow.

‘The failure of his marriage can in no way be blamed on anyone except the two people that were a part of the union,’ Cook’s lawyer says. By Mawuse Ziegbe Fantasia Photo: Getty Images Many fans have suggested that Fantasia Barrino is in the wrong for allegedly taking up with a married man. However, the married man in question, Antwaun Cook, says the singer is not responsible for breaking up his relationship. “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,” Cook’s lawyer, Nicole Sodoma, said in a statement on Wednesday (August 18). Sodoma also says that Cook and his wife have been separated for about a year. “Paula and Antwaun married in 2005. They expected their marriage to stand the test of time,” Sodoma said in the statement. “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.” Last week, Barrino was hospitalized following an apparent suicide attempt. The season-three “American Idol” winner suffered a drug overdose after ingesting a combination of aspirin and a sleep aid. Rumors abounded that the singer’s alleged relationship with Cook was a factor in her apparent attempt to take her own life. The incident occurred roughly a week after Cook’s wife, Paula, filed court documents alleging that her spouse and Barrino engaged in a “covert adulterous affair” and created a sex tape together . Despite recovering from her overdose and weathering criticism from fans about her alleged relationship with Cook, Barrino is already back to promoting her new album . The “Bittersweet” singer has several scheduled television appearances in the next few weeks as she builds buzz for the release for her third album, Back to Me, which is set to drop on August 24. The single “Bittersweet” is currently at #10 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. What do you think about all of the attention surrounding Antwaun Cook and Fantasia Barrino’s relationship?

Following a scary overdose and hospital admission , Fantasia Barrino is finally home. The singer is recovering from a tumultuous couple of weeks her father says, as he’s released a statement thanking followers for their love and assuring all of us his daughter will be okay. “Fantasia was pleased with all the messages of support from her fans, but just now she just needs to rest and bring everything back together,” Joseph Barrino said. “This has been a difficult time but she will pull through.” As for Fantasia’s daughter, Zion, Mr. Barrino says the young girl “was staying with both myself and her grandmother but she is back with Fantasia now.” “She is getting a lot of comfort with being with her daughter and the doctors have told her just to rest,” Joseph added. “My daughter just needs time – she is a strong girl and with God’s help she will be okay.” Unfortunately, Fantasia’s troubles may just be beginning. Because her native North Carolina is one of the few states that still has certain adultery laws on the books, she could actually be sued for having an affair with Antwaun Cook . At last check, Paula Cook was mighty steamed over her husband’s relationship with the singer and might take legal action against them both. We’ll keep readers apprised of any developments, and simply wish a healthy recovery to Fantasia for now.
