American Idol Fantasia Suicide Attempt? Was The Media Attention Too Much?

Last night at 10:13 PM police were called to Fantasia  Barrino’s home in North Carolina because she took too many pills.  When she arrived at the hospital she was in serious condition.   Her manager says she took a combination of aspirns and some type of sleeping pill.  Appently she could not handle all the publicity and the lawsuit because of her relationship with her married boyfriend Antwaun Cook. 

Her rep release the following statement about the incident:

“Last night, Fantasia was hospitalized. She took an overdose of aspirin and a sleep aid. Her injuries are not life threatening. She was dehydrated and exhausted at the time. Fantasia is stable now. She will be released from the hospital soon.”

He also release the following statement regard Fantasia and her relationship with Antwaun Cook:

“Fantasia has always been an open book. Honesty, self-respect, and personal responsibility are values she wears proudly.  Fantasia believed Mr. Cook when he told her he was not happy in his marriage and his heart was not in it. S  he 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.  Fantasia and Mr. Cook dated on and off for about eleven months. The pressure of the constant media attention was hard on their relationship. Fantasia gave inconsistent interviews about the status of her relationship with Mr. Cook because sometimes they were on and sometimes they were off.

When they were on, they spent most of their time together when she was not traveling with work.  Fantasia read Mrs. Cook’s Complaint against Mr. Cook for the first time yesterday. She knows some of the allegations in Mrs. Cook’s complaint are totally false. There are others she strongly doubts. There is plenty she does not know.  Fantasia is heartbroken and is sorry for any pain she may have caused. “

Fantasia’s condition is reported as stable now.  Now I wonder what Dehydrated means?  Does that mean that she had too much to drink?  And who the heck dries to OD on aspirn.  She has a new album coming out….. hate to be a cynic but is it possible this is an attempt to get some publicity for it?  Lastly she thought he was going to leave his wife?  Isn’t that the oldest story in the book?   What do you think?
