Barrino (1)


Former "American Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino was hospitalized last night (August 9) in Charlotte, NC for a medication overdose according to a WCNBC report.

This comes right on the heels of news that the singer was recently named in a lawsuit by Paula Cook, claiming Barrino wrecked her marriage.

Among other things, Cook alleges Barrino made a sex tape with her husband.

On Monday, Barrino's manager, Brian Dickens released a statement to TMZ, saying Barrino was "certain that she is not responsible for the deterioration of the Cook's marriage."

The statement also went on to say, "Fantasia will weather this storm with the dignity and grace that she has exemplified throughout a life in which she has repeatedly overcome obstacles and challenges. Fantasia's faith in God, herself and family remain as strong as ever."

Right now, Barrino doesn't appear to be "weathering the storm" all that well. Hopefully she will pull through this and emerge ok.
