Fantasia Barrino Tries to Commit Suicide
What ever happened to Fantasia Barrino?
She was the American Idol season-three winner a few years ago and then fell off the fame of the earth.
Today, she was released from the hospital (Wednesday) after allegedly trying to commit suicide by overdosing on medication.
Barrino was rushed to the hospital Monday after she was found in a North Carolina home, a story confirmed by Barrino's manager, Brian Dickens, who talked to MTV News. He said that she was released from Carolinas Medical Center-Mercy in North Carolina after being admitted to the hospital under an alias.
"She has been lifted up by the outpouring of love and support from her fans," Dickens said in a statement to MTV News. "She is more committed than ever to her daughter and her work because they are her heart, her soul and inspiration."
According to reports, Barrino attempted to take her own life by ingesting a combination of aspirin and a sleep aid.
The singer has taken heat lately by fans for her alleged relationship with a married man and for almost leaving her young daughter without a mother.
