It's been a rough week for Fantasia Barrino.

The American Idol season 3 champ was hospitalized Monday in Charlotte, N.C., after overdosing on aspirin and a sleep aid, her manager Brian Dickens confirmed Tuesday.

"Her injuries are not life threatening. She was dehydrated and exhausted at the time," Dickens said. "Fantasia is stable now. She will be released from the hospital soon."

According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, the incident was classified as a suicide attempt. The police report lists Dickens as the reporting person and says Barrino was found with "possible internal injuries."

Fantasia:

“Yes, [the rumors] were all really cute to me. I guess it was something about a guy from T-Mobile? Inaccurate. He was hot, but I think I’m looking for my own man. There’s no boo in my life, I’m married to my career. Right now I’m not really focused on a boyfriend; we all know what happens when you get them… I have no tattoo on my shoulder, [that rumor] was very well put together! I wear my body out more purposefully now and when I’m walking I see people checking, “Like does she have a tattoo there?” As a matter of fact, I’ve never even [met him] before. I think I’d want to be with a guy who’s in the same tax bracket as I am … or higher!”

Sounds like a PR stunt to me.


I think you may be right.

There are many people who have no deep emotional attachment to their children. I can't imagine ever letting my kids or grandkids down, they are blessings, never a burden.

In the age of walk in abortion clinics I suppose I'm a dinosaur.

You'll never convince me that the abortion culture hasn't changed the way society views children, for the worse.

First of all, there’s no incentive to overdose on aspirin since there is no such thing as an aspirin high or any pleasant feelings at all. But if you take too much, it eats holes in your stomach and causes dizzy spells. ON an empty stomach, I suppose it would make you vomit.

Fantasia is a single mom. Never had a husband. She had a little girl when she was on Idol. Close to her Church but I suspect the fame spoiled her.

She went bankrupt. Borrowed tons of money for a big house and then didn’t pay the bills.

All in all she is without structure and without a strong support system.

I wish her well.

Sounds like someone who continues to make bad decision after bad decision and doesn’t learn.
