Suicide attempt
Fantasia is hospitalized inMercy South Hospital at Carolinas Medical Center in Pineville, North Carolina for a drug overdose on sleeping aids and aspirin after a suicide attempt. Barrino’s manager, Brian Dickens, notifies police. The incident is still under police investigation. The week before Fantasia’s overdoes, Paula Cook, filed a lawsuit in Mecklenburg County court last week against her husband, Antwaun Cook. Paula claims Antwaun and Fantasia were having an affair the year prior. Dickens:
Fantasia believed Mr. Cook when he told her he was not happy in his marriage and his heart was not in it. She believed him when he told her he and Mrs. Cook separated in the late summer of 2009. She believed Mr. Cook when he told her he lived elsewhere. He even took her there. One of Mr. Cook’s most redeeming qualities was his complete devotion to his children. Fantasia fell in love with Mr. Cook and believed that he loved her.
