American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino, met with her boyfriend’s wife, Paula Cook, earlier this month; in an attempt to settle their private dispute.
Fantasia and Paula were in mediation for nearly 12 hours on November 1 and the two didn’t settle because Fantasia refuses to acknowledge that she was aware of Paula’s marriage to Antwaun when she started dating him, and Paula is adamant that Fantasia did know.
Fantasia was prepared to pay Paula as much as $100,000 to settle during their mediation, Paula flat-out refused and instead, will see Fantasia in court on November 22; where she will proceed with her “Alienation of Affection” lawsuit against the Idol winner and reality show singer.
Alienation of Affection is a law still recognized by only seven states, one of which is North Carolina – where an abandoned spouse can file a lawsuit against the party responsible for the failure of their marriage. Typically the adulterous spouse’s lover, in this case, that’s Fantasia.
I think Mrs. Cook wants to prove a point for the benefit of more money, and at the same time embarrass Fantasia in the process.

while i feel for the wife for choosing a cheater to marry and gift with moving his dna forward, i also see clearly that she is an opportunist. if she is feeling sue happy, she needs to sue HER HUSBAND. HE took the vows, not Fantasia. the ONLY thing Fantasia owes this woman is an apology. aside from that, Mrs. Cook needs to keep it moving and learn to choose better in the future.
women will always be oppressed all over the world until we stop hating on each other while readily forgiving the men that work overtime to exploit us.

and fantasia needs to leave that closeted homo alone. because it would be messed up if the wife won and the hubby went back to her for both of them to enjoy fanny’s money. wouldnt this be something if all of this was a scheme from the beginning from both cook and his wife, to get money from fanny? smh

Well I beg to differ with ya’ll.,
This woman is just trying to get a pay day due to her failed marriage. Women need to stop blaming the other woman for their husbands mistake. Fantasia did not steal her husband, her husband took his own two feet and walked out of their marriage. If she wants someone to blame she needs to blame her husband or she needs to do some soul searching and blame herself. No woman can steal your husband in no way shape or form. She didn’t walk in her house and say “I’m taking yo husband, bye!”
