New
York,
(ANI):
American
singer
Fantasia
Barrino
attempted
suicide
when
her
married
boyfriend
Antwaun
Cook
dumped
her.
The
26-year-old
singer
was
rushed
to
a
hospital
after
she
swallowed
a
bottle
of
aspirin
and
sleeping
pills.
“Antwaun
Cook
was
fed-up
with
all
the
drama
and
called
the
relationship
off
with
Fantasia.
She
begged
him
not
to
leave
her
but
he
wouldn't
listen," the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
a
friend
as
telling
RadarOnline.com.
The
winner
of
the
third
season
of
American
Idol
admitted
that
she
carried
on
an
on/off
relationship
with
the
married
Cook
since
2009,
but
insisted
that
he
used
to
say
that
he
was
separated
from
his
wife.
The
affair
came
up
when
Cook"s
wife
Paula
filed
for
divorce.
She
alleged
that
Cook
and
Barrino
carried
on
behind
her
back
for
nearly
a
year
and
had
made
several
sex
tapes.
The
friend
said
that
Barrino
couldn"t
handle
all
this
and
took
the
extreme
step.
“Fantasia
was
still
devastated
because
she
believed
they
had
a
future
together.
She
was
also
stressed
out
about
the
complaint
filed
by
his
wife,"
the
friend
said.
“Fantasia
had
gotten
herself
involved
in
a
war
of
words
with
Paula
Cook
over
him
and
there
were
several
nasty
phone
calls
between
the
two
women,"
the
friend
added.
