Wow. Fantasia is still pissed about the backlash to her recent incoherent rant where she appeared to slam gay marriage. She’s posted another ranty photo on her instagram.

The story, still wending it’s way through the news cycle, picked up some steam after New Years. I’m guessing that’s why she’s still mad.

But honestly–continuing to rant isn’t helping her cause. As it’s become clear in the past few days. She’s not very good at expressing herself through words:

Maybe she really wasn’t slamming gay marriage? But what she should have done was have her people release a cogent APOLOGY, that spelled out clearly what she really meant to say.

Fantasia also posted a note along side the instagram:

Now im VERY UPSET!!!! BUT ITS COOL!! IM NOT THE SAME GIRL I USE TO BE. IVE BEEN HURT ENOUGH. IM A Grown Women thats been Hurt Enough now. FOOLISHNESS!!!! I APOLOGIZE TO ALL MY LOVES, ALLLL MY GAYS, QUEENS AND FAB FRIENDS WHO’S SEEING THIS NONSENSE RIGHT NOW. HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT THEY HAVE TRASHED ME SINCE THE DAY I STEPPED ON THE IDOL STAGE? HAVEN’T YOU ALSO NOTICED THAT I STILL HAVE NOT STOPPED. TO MY GAY MANAGER( IM OVER SEEING YOU WORK SO HARD) THOSE WHO NO ME NO I DONT JUDGE ANY 1 AND THAT I JUST WANT THEM TO STOP TRYING TO JUDGE ME. TO ALL THE BLOGGERS AND NEWS STATIONS GOD BLESS YOU TOO!! CAUSE YOU NEVER SUPPORT MY GOOD YOU JUST REPORT THE BAD. I DONT CARE WHO GETS MARRIED OR WHO YOU LAY WITH, HANG WITH OR WANT TO BE LIKE. ITS YOUR LIFE LIVE IT. NOW GO AHEAD TAKE THIS AND TURN IT AROUND BUT IM STILL HERE CAUSE GOD PUT ME HERE. CHECK MY SPELLING AND MY GRAMMER* whatever you need to do* This is sad and im done with all this Media stuff .

Fantasia is so talented. There’s no reason to play the victim card. Yet she does, and it’s obviously not helping her.

    I understand your POV, but it’s really about the $$$, not the music. As I’ve written before, in the entertainment industry, bad behavior is tolerated proportional to commercial success, and that’s not going to change anytime soon. It’s still not the responsibility of celebs to act as role models for the public, and young people who have few real life role models need to be educated that looking to celebs is not the answer. People need to learn to be accountable for their own behavior and actions and not use scapegoats as an excuse.

    “Her team needs to change all of her social media passwords and handle those accounts themselves.”  So she can create a carefully crafted fake image to sell albums?  Non-sense.  She’s not a boyband and nothing can erase what she did to her own baby.

    I don’t want to go too deep, but I can see where she was going. 

    According to the bible and people that throw stones at her, its all wrong.  Gay, sleeping with a married man, drugs, etc…  We live in a society were most heterosexuals sleep together prior to marriage which is also wrong, according to the church.  Now, from reading some of the posts, people use a different bar.  Well, sleeping with a married man is wrong, but not gay marriage.  Or, this is wrong, but not that.  If you were raised in the most traditional church regime (Southern Baptist, Roman Catholic, etc..), a sliding scale or cherry picking is pointless.  You’re either on the right side of the bible or the wrong side.  She’s on the wrong side and suggests that a lot of other people are with her.  ”Yay, we’re all in this together.”Poorly executed, poorly worded, but that’s Fantasia.

    I agree with you on where I see she was going with it, but I think it just shows how out of touch she is. Did she really think someone would go, “you know, she’s right. If I’m okay with gay marriage than I have to be okay with adultery too.” 

    To assume that if people don’t agree with one thing the Bible says means that they don’t agree with anything the Bible says is so beyond naive that I do have to disagree with your poorly worded comment. I think she entirely meant what she said, I just don’t think anyone is going to agree with it. And lets face it, the Church surely does have their own hierarchy of sin. There is a reason why they’re spending so much time on homosexuality but have done absolutely nothing to prevent divorce or pre-marital sex.

    People mess with Fantasia just to mess with her, she’s basically bullied on twitter. The girl had a rough past, she’s had a horrible educational background and is still probably struggling with it today. Not everyone comes from degrees and healthy lives, everyday people struggle and people never accepted the fact that a poor single teen mother from the ghetto won a recording contract on national television. Get the hell over it, let the girl live her life. It irks me that people try to down play Fantasia’s talent just because they don’t like where she came from. The girl is one of the best vocalist that has ever graced the idol stage. Bottom Line.
