American Idol season 3 winner Fantasia Barrino was rushed to the hospital on Monday night after she overdosed on aspirin and a sleep aid. She is in stable condition and is doing fine physically.Mentally, however, she is in a more delicate condition, as the reason for the overdose has been classified as a suicide attempt. Fantasia was said to be feeling "overwhelmed with the law suit and the media attention.
Allegedly, the Idol champ took the overdose after reading a court filing that alleged she was to blame for destroying a marriage. The man Fantasia had been dating on and off, Antwaun Cook, was married and his wife, Paula, claims that they broke up because of Fantasia.
Fantasia denied that she was responsible for the breakup, because Antwaun told her he was separated and not happy in his marriage. When the singer read Paula's complaint she felt sorry for any pain she caused, but also called some of the allegations "totally false".At that point, her emotions took over and pushed her over the edge resulting in her taking the overdose. Her rep, Brian Dickens, said that "Fantasia is a fighter and a survivor. This is not the hardest thing Fantasia has endured." Brian also stated that Fantasia will be released from the hospital very soon.
