I was very sorry to hear about Fantasia Barrino’s apparent attempted suicide by drug overdose, according to MTV.
Fantasia wasthe winner of American Idol Season Three -the only season I watched all the way because I was dating Marie Lynn and she forced me!! I thought Fantasia was the best thing about the show.
After that I heard she was on Broadway in “The Color Purple” to very positive reviews and let took it on a national tour.
I read yesterday, she nearly got her house foreclosed on till Simon Cowell bailed her out.
Though it may have more to do with a sextape floating around of her and a married man.
Helen tells me she overdosed on aspirin. Something I did when I was 16 year old and had to have my stomach pumped.
This is how fame treats you, it trips you when you’re up and it kicks you when you’re down. Poor fantasia, how is it possible to maintain your equilibrium? How safe is safe?
