UPDATE: Fantasia releases a statement through her manager:
Fantasia’s manager, Brian Dickens, just released a statement saying the former “American Idol” champ is “certain that she is not responsible for the deterioration of the Cook’s marriage.”
The statement goes on to say, “Fantasia will weather this storm with the dignity and grace that she has exemplified throughout a life in which she has repeatedly overcome obstacles and challenges. Fantasia’s faith in God, herself and family remain as strong as ever.”
The blurb promoting Season 2 of Fantasia For Real from VH1’s press release promoting their fall season is a little ironic, considering the Season 3 Idol winner’s recent troubles, don’t you think?
Season 2 of “Fantasia For Real” follows American Idol and Grammy winner Fantasia Barrino as she balances her complicated personal life with her desire to connect with her fans through music. As Fantasia works with her record label to promote her long awaited new album, she continues to attempt to instill values of independence and integrity into her life and be a positive role model for her daughter and the rest of her family
Fantasia For Real comes back to VH1 for a second season on September 19 at 10 pm.
