    First I think Fantasia is a wonderful singer. She does not owe dat girl any money at all. People break up all day long get divorced an so on had Fantasia been n the hood with 4 kids and no hair that girl wouldn’t b thinking about money. Plus Fantasia worked real hard for her earnings no one is entitled to that money except her Daughter when she no longer living what is da world coming to women sueing other women cause you think it’s there falt your man left

    • Nik

      Idiot, the wife is not suing Fantasia. She’s suing her husband for child support and alimony. You sound incredibly stupid.

      • Jamie

        I’d reply on this story however I don’t know that I can since I know how to spell and can actually articulate a thought. Goodness – I can’t believe that any of you can actually afford a computer – you must be at the public library. And that being the case may I suggest you all start learning to read or better yet – go grab a dictionary before posting your hate-filled semi-thoughts.

      • Jessica

        Uhhh actually you’re the idiot, the man’s wife has filed a million dollar lawsuit against Fantasia…do your research before you comment!

      • teresa

        Actually, the wife IS suing Fantasia.

      • Alicia

        While the wife is contemplating suing Fantasia, no lawsuit has actually been filed yet. There has only been a lawsuit filed against the husband for PSS, Alimony, Child Support, Child Custody and Equitable Distribution. I’m sure an alienation of affection and criminal conversation lawsuit is forthcoming but as of this date, nothing has been filed.

    • angeleyes

      What f**king state came up with this backwoods a** alienation law anyway. I wonder if they will allow one broke b*tch on foodstamps to sue another broke ass b*tch on the special housing program? LMAO

      • nancy

      • jrsells

        Actually ya’ll both are dumb and lame…Fantasia is a SELF made Millionaire… SHE has a MANSION with a 240,000K mercedes Benz and its all HERS! Ya’ll the broke B*tchesm, prob on Foodstamps yourself, and so far in the back of Fantasia’s mind… do something else with your time, make sense, and know what the heck you talking about before you get on a post trying to degrade and judge somebody.. Jealous Hoes! FANTASIA is the best, and this will pass, and she’ll still be here,….HA HA! smile

    • Jackie

    • Jessica

      Victor, b4 you try to down someone, grab a dictionary…the word is “ghetto” NOT “guetto” you dumbass, you people amaze me. So judgemental yet so ignorant! Stay off the message boards you illiterate loser!

    • Diamond

      The sad thing is that rather she know he was married or not. No one can take anyone away from anyone. He apparently did want to be with his wife so do blame her blame him. North Carolina needs to get ready of that law because you can’t blame the other person for breaking up your marriage. Can’t keep noone if they don’t wanted to be keeped.

  • renee

    first off i wud like to say dat i love fantasia she is my num one fan..and dat she is a great singer and she wudnt do anythng like dat..il her

    • Mz RASTA

      OMG @ VE….I mean JESUS…CUZZ DATS WHO U THINK U R, 2 JUDGE PPL.

    • Jessica

      I think Victor is a code name for a scorned lover. This character is goin real hard at Tasia to have no emotional ties to her….Hmmmm…I smell Antwaun’s wife all over this board! Sad but maybe you should have taken care of home and a woman like Fantasia wouldn’t have had to pick up ur slack. Get mad if you want to ladies but the age old saying says “what one won’t do, another one will”. Whatever you did to get him, you gotta do that x 1000 to keep him! It’s just the truth.

      • real

        Jessica i total agree with you about Victor. I have heard that Antwaun and his wife planned this entire thing to get money. Fantasia is a young lady that is so trusting of people. She may have thought that they were separated. She is making mistakes and learning from them just like so many other woman have, so everyone needs to stop judging her. Many women have made the mistake of dating married men because men will lie and say that they are not married, separated, getting a divorce, or the wife does not treat him right and he is unhappy. The blame need to be put were it should be and that is on Antwaun. He knew he was married. If he did not want to be with Fantasia he would not have. Everyone needs to keep it real. For the haters you all need Jesus. No one can judge anyone.

  • gg

    it’s called “alienation of affection” she knew he was married. Call a hoe, a hoe – i don’t care how much she screams…i mean sings

    • daria

      i bet you someome took your man and this is why you responded like this. You sound like a scorn hoe AND A HATER.

      • Erin

        Hoe is a garden too. Ho is a slut. Just sayin’.

      • angeleyes

        @Erin you are so correct however garden tool is not garden too.

    • Ericka Rhodes

      U don’t even know the lady, it is real stupid to call someone out of their name, and don’t even know the full story…Fantasia can sing circles around jennifer Hudston…

      • Iamnana12

        The word, technically, is whore.

    • Ya Boy

      GG…….come on, wit name like GG I know you got some bones in the closet so, don’t throw stones in a Glass House

      • jrsells

        LOL.. Thank you man! That dude wanted Mr Cook for himself! lol too funny!

    • royalty1982

      Please dnt throw stones at a glass house. Jus because you didn’t do what she did doesn’t mean you life has been perfect and you always have done everything right. Before you start point fingers at everybody else you need to observe yo situation…

    • angeleyes

      Damn GG…yes that’s what it’s called; however, it should be directed at husband. Evidentially it didn’t effect him anyone that she wasn’t receiving his affection. Damn you hoes are pathetic. When will you realize that no other woman owes you nothing. It’s the dog ass mean that you commit you’re pathetic asses too.

  • hkhu

    she is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • mzwendymc

    Fantasia is a great person/singer….if u cant do what u did previous to get ur man than dont trip when he leave u for somebody else dats doing better tricks…she owes u 0!!!!…..get an educatiion and move the hell on lady or better yet young girl and let Fantasia be….im a true fan always

    • Nik

      The wife needs an education? She already has a masters degree and she’s a teacher. Fantasia on the other hand, just learned to read. You sound as stupid as Fantasia.

      • angeleyes

        Well f*ck then she should be educated enough to realize what type of man she married and move on. Not try to sue someone for their hard earned money just because they shared the same d**k? LMAO

      • angeleyes

        And by the way maybe she can teach her students- HOW TO KEEP A MAN 101.

      • jrsells

        But Fantasia is a millionaire, and the wife is not! Not saying the wife is dumb but Fantasia sure isn
        t dumb and she’ll continue to prove it to you clowns for years to come, lol at you hoe

    • teresa

      People! The word is “you”…not u! Please stop typing like your texting your friends!

    • Wiseman

      I actually found this more enettiraning than James Joyce.

  • kxicnvj

    who cares about it cuz i don’t give a ********

  • Pat Anderson

    Be encourage my sista, this is diffinately not the end for you, but your beginning. You have inspired me so many times with your singing and yes you are anoited. When I got my hair cut short like yours, my kids and their friends call me Fantasia. Be bless I am praying for you!

  • Renee Williams

    Men and women go through changes in relationships. While going through those changes they tend to lie to others, and in up in another relationship (which is called rebound). I truly believe that this is what happened to Fantasia. I was with a married man for two years and did not know he was married,(and had been for twelve years). Everyone wants to place blame on Fantasia when the blame should be placed on the man that was married and cheated on his wife.

    • Sophie Ann

      You were THAT stupid for 2 years????? He knew he had a “clueless one” and kept it going for all that time!!

      Ladies, Ladies – open your eyes!!!

    • Sophie Ann

      You were THAT stupid for 2 years???? Sheesh!! Or just desperate and refused to see the “married man signs”.

      PLENTY of ways to figure out if a man is married. Wake up, ladies!!

    • real

      Ladies watch out for the signs and love your self first.

  • renee

    Fantasia is human & if she wasn’t famous we wouldn’t even know anything about her personal life…why isn’t anyone blaming the man…he’s the one who said I do!!!
    Those without sin can cast the first stone…I didn’t think so!!
    Get well soon Fantasia!

  • Casandra

    I disagree. Fantasia is a celebrity and she is not the typical normal everyday women that ends up hooking up with a married man. Fantasia is a celebrity and a women with plenty of money. Because Fantasia is famous and has a lot of money, she is capable of getting just about any man that she wants. The truth is that most married men would leave their wife for Fantasia because Fantasia has money and is famous. So I feel that Fantasia should be held accountable and should pay. You have too many celebrities that are taking broke, attractive married men from their wives and feel that they can get away with it. It’s time for something like this to happen for these rich selfish women to stop taking these ugly actions. Alicia Keys, Leanne Rimes, Brittney Spears(even though Kevin wasn’t married he was a part of a family structure with a girlfriend that was carrying his child), are all good examples of rich women that destroy families and know they have the power to get these broke fine men to go their way. It’s like winning lotto for a lot of these men. What man wouldn’t do it. Most would unfortunately. Fantasia needs to pay. Cook’s wife is now going to be a single mom of a 2 year old child and a 6 year old child.. Fantasia knew what she was doing and did not care. Fantasia also was vicious enough to tape herself comitting her affair on video. Think about how much that is going to scar that man’s kids and his wife and family members and friends. Also when a women gets divorced that’s a big loss of money on a women. Fantasia also was nasty to tatoo that lady’s husband name above her chest for the world to see. Think about how embarrassed Cook’s wife felt and hurt. Fantasia also spoke nasty to her on the phone. Fantasia caused Cook’s wife and children a lot of pain. Cook is at fault because that was his marriage, but Fantasia is too because she could of said no plus she knew she could take him from his wife because of her status. And as far as I see it Fantasia was rubbing in her relationship with Cook by taking pictures to the media on vacations and by the rest of her actions. Fantasia should pay! She was ugly in this situation and now she can’t handle that some one has now gotten ugly back…

    • pissed off

      Everyone is blaming the other woman. A man is going to be a man no matter what. If that man see sometime they want believe me that guy isn’t going to stop until they get it. So you just cannot blame Fantasia because she didn’t hold a gun to that man head and say mess around with me or I’m going to kill you. And yes they’re if Fantasia wasn’t right and famous we wouldn’t hear a word about it. And another point is that they are quickly putting Fantasia down but no one is saying anything about the man. Or the wife because I don’t think I would be so quick to put my business out in the open like to be talked about. It seems to me the whole situation is a disgrace.

      • Jamie

        My goodness who the hell cares about any of these dumb people it’s their problem not yours or mine so why don’t you all stop getting all worked up about something that has nothing to do with you . Also to all of you who keep talking about how people are spelling and all that. If you want to correct everyone so badly why don’t you go be a dam english teacher already ugh.

    • ag

      Ya’ll are speculating. Don’t nobody know what happened so stop the madness. That man was married to Paula not Fantasia so he is the responsible one. He knew he was married when he hooked up with Tasia. If he lied that’s on him. I don’t feel sorry for him. And you don’t know what problem they were having in their home to make him step out. A man is going to be a man and you can’t blame the other woman…especially if he said they were seperated.

    • meliot

      @Casandra – your statement “most married men would leave their wife for Fantasia because Fantasia has money and is famous” is the MOST RIDICULOUS thing I have EVER read! You are an idiot!

    • Marcia

      I think that Fantasia was wrong…no doubt about that. BUT! This man is a whore. I would bet you that this man was whoring around on his wife prior to Fantasia and if she is stupid enough to take him back, he will do it again. Some people, especially us as women, don’t know when to let it go. There are two types of men…the one who makes one mistake and is sorry and you can move on or the habitual whore type man who will try to hit every woman that he sees, except for his wife! Women always know which one they have. I am not blaming the wife because I am sure that she was hurt, but she knew the type of man that she was married to. Women tend to only get upset when everyone else knows what type of man they decided to settle for, hence, the lawsuit.

    • KIMK

      Very well said Casandra!

    • teresa

      But Fantasia DOESN’T have any money. Don’t you people read the tabloids?

    • real

      @Casandra do not take your hurt out on Frantasia. Take it out on the man who hurt you. You and the other haters really need Jesus. Try him he works. Frantasia could not have made that man have an affair with her. He could have said no if he wanted to. Why is his wife not sueing his broke ass because he is broke. The wife may not want his broke ass. she just want some damn money.

  • Ms. Wright

    Victor Eloy i think u may be the illiterate one. Ever heard a thing called spellcheck? Ghetto is spelled with an ‘h’ not a ‘u’ and focus does not have an ‘e’ at the end, STUPID! Before u start judging others look at yourself! U dont know that woman and what goes on in her life. All u know is what ‘they’ report. Stop being such a loser and get u some business!

    • Mike

      Ever hear of the space bar?

  • sheria

    How woman gonna sue another woman b/c her husband think the grass is greener on the other side .

  • Fadia

    Fantasia I Love & support you. Whether it’s true or not it doesn’t matter because there is not one human on this earth that is perfect. We all make mistakes & we all have issues. Who are we to judge? God Bless you sweety, stay strong & this too shall pass, Muah!!! :o )
