EXCLUSIVE: Fantasia's Dad Displeased With Her Married Lover Reunion
Posted on Aug 13, 2010 @ 09:15PM

Fantasia Barrino may have re-united with her married lover Antwaun Cook but one man who’s certainly NOT HAPPY about their re-union is her father Joseph Barrino, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The American Idol winner - who reportedly attempted to kill herself after Cook called-off their relationship - was photographed with HIM as she shot some scenes for her VH1 reality show Fantasia For Real.
But her deeply religious father Joseph Barrino says he was not a happy man when we revealed to him that the shoot had taken place less than 24 hours after his daughter was released from the hospital.

He tells RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview, “I do not think that can be real, it must be somebody else. I’m very displeased with that relationship because he is a married man and all of that has been discussed with Fantasia.”
And when RadarOnline.com told Fantasia’s dad that the meeting appeared to take place while shooting scenes for her new reality show, he says, “I do not think she would be back filming already.”
While her father seems to be in the dark about his famous daughter, the photographs clearly show the performer having heart-to-heart talks with her married lover.

The pair have been involved in a roller coaster relationship in recent times which culminated in his wife Paula Cook filing a complaint against the singer who she claims knowingly had an affair with the married-father-of-two.
Antwaun Cook had called for a time-out on his relationship with Barrino because he was reportedly fed-up with all the drama but it now looks like the producers of Fantasia For Real have persuaded him to take part in the reality show so that they can translate their relationship into high ratings for the show.
A North Carolina police report revealed that Barrino attempted to commit suicide with ‘possible internal injuries’ after ‘ingesting medication’ at her home in Glynwoor Lakes on Monday night.
Police sources and sources close to the investigation say Barrino was found in the closet of the Glynmoor Lakes neighborhood home and she was taken to Mercy South Hospital at Carolinas Medical Center in Pineville.
The police report was classified as “801- suicide”.

Brian Dickens, Barrino's manager in Maryland, is listed on the police report as the one who notified CMPD that something was wrong with her.
According to the North Carolina police report the incident is still under investigation.

Why is no one blaming the guy? The cheater! His wife should be holding him accountable. Fantasia shouldn't date someone who is not divorced, period, but for the wife to go after her is silly. Her husband made a choice to leave. Take it up w/ him.

She was fading away, now she is getting all the publicity she wants, it was nothing more than a ploy to get her name in the media and it worked....

Unbelievable that she is filming with that guy 3 days after a suicide attempt?!! I hope Paula takes every last cent Fantasia has.

I really hate to criticize someone after a "suicide" attempt, but for this woman to meet this guy "in front of the cameras" right after getting discharged and in view of the wife's legal action demonstrates how dumb and self-centered she is.

I must add that her 9 year old daughter lives w/ her mom and dad. Pathetic. She's out of touch w/ reality and very irresponsible.

I think the laws in that state are way out of touch. However, you do not date a married man. You wait until the divorce papers have been signed, period. She is way too needy. Step off.

Disgusting. Her music career is history. As for the show, that is also finished. This entire event is sickening. I hope Paula Cook files an action against her. I think this man's wife deserves Fantasia's millions after this.

She's nuttier than I first thought. I agree, sympathies to the wife and children. At least the wife has sense enough to get rid of this one.

agree 100%

The "suicide" thing was pathetic. If anyone deserves sympathy it's the mother of that guy's children not this ho.
