Fantasia Barrino accused of adultery, sex tape in N.C. divorce filing [poll]

August 9, 2010 | 11:23 am

Fantasia Barrino, the third "American Idol," has been accused of having an affair with a married man, CNN reports, with recordings made of their, ahem, "activity" -- and of doing it in a state where a tape of that kind of "activity" could come back to bite her in a court of law.

In a North Carolina divorce filing, Paula Cook alleges that the singer took up with her husband, Antwuan Cook, after the two met in August 2009 at the cellphone store where he worked. According to the documents, Fantasia took Antwuan to Atlanta, Miami, New York, L.A. and Barbados over the course of the alleged affair.

North Carolina's not a great state for this sort of thing either. Adultery there is a still a crime -- for real. "You can sue that third party," says a law expert quoted by Bossip. "Most of the cases involve sex, it doesn’t have to be sex, it can be something much lower."

Rumors of an affair were floating around gossip circles in November 2009; according to TMZ, Barrino has denied it all. Divorce papers were filed Wednesday.

So, is it ever worth the risk to make a sex tape? Let us know in the nonscientific poll after the jump -- and feel free to explain, tastefully, in comments.

Fantasia is about as stupid as they come. Just a dumbass!

When the sex tape be released.

The sex musta been REALLY good... Either that or she's just dumb as bricks... or both.

I want receipts..show me the receipts.

I love Fantasia's voice & her new hit song "Bittersweet". But her personal choices she makes is ruining her career. She is too desperate for a man to even make wise decisions regarding her reputation......Wake up Fannie! be a good example for ur daughter....Try anyway U can to stop that sex tape from coming out....

I really want Fantasia to do well because she's so talented. All this is a such an unnecessary distraction.

The thought of her having a sex tape scares the hell out of me.

I don't see why anyone cares what Fantasia is doing. She is barely a celebrity, so why is this even news????

I'm curious. I want to see if she's as good as Paris Hilton or Pam Anderson.

What a bunch of dummies, both her and the man. Especially since adultery is a crime here in NC.

Fantasia? What the fuck is that? Some sort of Disney Ice Show?

I saw Paris sucking a little ole hairless dick and Pamela sucking a big ole hairless dick. Hell, I wanted to go straight until I saw the skinny little beanpole bitch Paris and said "if this is pussy, even a hairless dick has got to be better".

A crime?

Yeah least a misdemeanor.

If adultery was a crime here in Cali, over half the state would be in jail. Talk about prison overcrowding.

Fantasia Overdose A Cry For Help.

First, the Fantasia sextape scandal, and now news of a Fantasia overdose! TMZ is reporting that former American Idol Fantasia Barrino overdosed on "a combination of aspirin and a sleep aid" Monday night. Apparently, the Fantasia overdose came about because the singer was feeling "overwhelmed" by the events of the past few days.

According to TMZ, a rep for the 2004 American Idol winner said Tuesday that the Fantasia overdose did not result in a life-threatening injury. The singer was reportedly treated at a hospital for dehydration and exhaustion. The Fantasia overdose comes on the heels of many recent celebrity deaths involving prescription medications. Fantasia's rep did not indicate what sleep aid the singer took, or whether or not the medication was over-the-counter or prescription.

Apparently, the stress of a lawsuit, a possible Fantasia sextape release and public outcry at her scandalous relationship were just too much for Fantasia Barrino to handle. However, what remains unclear is whether or not the Monday night overdose was intentional. Was Fantasia desperate over the Antwaun Cook situation, and looking for a way out? Did the singer really just want to go to sleep?

Or is there more behind the Fantasia overdose, and the Fantasia sextape? Could this all be perfectly timed to coincide with the singer's new album, due out later this month? What do you think? Tucson resident Sean Thomason summed up his thoughts on this week's troubling Fantasia news: "Whatever's going on, it's not worth dying over. This time it might have been nothing, but if this girl is seriously distraught, I hope someone's watching out for her. A sextape is a joke, but an overdose is serious."

To read the full statement from Fantasia's rep on her overdose Monday night, which includes a detailed timeline of her relationship with Antwaun Cook, as well as a plug for her new album, "Back To Me", click here!

I just heard about this. It's very sad, but I am glad she did not succeed with the overdose.

Isn't this the same chick who was chatting bout 'this is all for my child' when she won AI. Now she gonna let some dick for hire and his wife (ex or whatever) cause her to try to kill herself. She knew what the situation was when she got with him - separated is not divorced so she should have given that a pass until he had sorted his shit out. No dick is worth your life and making your child an orphan.

Fan: suck it up and stop acting the goddamn fool.

He deceived and lied to her. That is devastating for any woman to go through. Stop throwing Fantasia under the bus. She is still human & has feelings. I'm sure her watching Nancy Grace tear her apart was enough to make anyone want to drive over a cliff. Because Nancy never shows anyone any mercy......

Girl should've done some investigating before putting her full trust in the man.
