Manager: Fantasia in 'Stable' Condition After Overdose
After overdosing on aspirin and a sleep aid Monday night, "American Idol's" Fantasia Barrino is in stable condition.
The singer's manager, Brian Dickens, released a statement to "Extra" saying, "Last night, Fantasia was hospitalized. She took an overdose of aspirin and a sleep aid. Her injuries are not life threatening. She was dehydrated and exhausted at the time. She was totally overwhelmed by the lawsuit and the media attention. Fantasia is stable now."
Barrino is currently being sued by a woman who claims the singer broke up her marriage and made sex tapes with her husband, Antwaun Cook.
Her manager said, "Fantasia believed Mr. Cook when he told her he was in a bad marriage and his heart was not in it. She believed him when he told her he and Mrs. Cook separated in the late summer of 2009. She believed Mr. Cook when he told her he lived elsewhere... Fantasia loved Mr. Cook and thought he loved her."
Fantasia is set to be released from the hospital anytime now.
