Fantasia Barrino released from hospital after ’suicide bid’

WASHINGTON - R ‘n’ B singer Fantasia Barrino has been released from hospital following her suicide attempt.

Barrino, 26, had attempted suicide after rumours surfaced that she had made a sex tape with a married man, Antwaun Cook, causing his wife, Paula, to file for divorce.

“She has been lifted up by the outpouring of love and support from her fans,” Us magazine quoted her manager Brian Dickens as saying.

“She is more committed than ever to her daughter and her work because they are her heart, her soul and inspiration,” he added.

Prior to the incident, Dickens had said that the singer is “certain that she is not responsible for the deterioration of Cook’s marriage”. (ANI)
