Sister Cynthia I know right! These young celebrities need to take a minute. Sometimes their managers overbook/schedule them so they start taking uppers and downers and all the way rounders. I hope she's alright.

Cynthia Merrill Artis Wednesday, August 11th 2010 at 2:55PM

~~~~~me toooo

Jen Fad Thursday, August 12th 2010 at 2:43AM

Hey the reports are saying...
[In addition to her financial troubles, Fantasia found herself at the middle of a very embarrassing scandal last week involving a married man and a s*x tape.]
also she's broke~~

Barrino Out of Hospital, Suicide Attempt Denied

Cynthia Merrill Artis Friday, August 13th 2010 at 3:39PM

what??

Cynthia Merrill Artis Friday, August 13th 2010 at 3:51PM

I read the story.... well Juicy... I have to admitt... I can't be too critical... for me personally, a married man is off limits... too much drama... but with Tasia's situation, which she openly admitted... management was taking advantage of her because of her "lack" of comprehension skills, she can read... but understanding what one is reading is "null" and the responsibilitiy she had on her is overwhelming.. women mostly, have a tendency of wearing ourselves thin... trying to be superwomen... So some of us look for men, whom we believe with bring a little balance in our lives but that's not "always" the case.

Hopefully once she gets thru this... she will surround herself with positive/uplifting people whom will help guide her in what she needs to do. Her first priority is to her daughter and self... that's the biggest part of balance.

Cynthia Merrill Artis Friday, August 13th 2010 at 5:10PM

lol

jacqueline dupree Friday, August 13th 2010 at 6:52PM

Poor Gurl...But I'm glad she is OK. I don't pretend to know the real story; but she was wrong and hopefully she will get through it first and consider it a lesson learned. Last but not least be the strong women we know.

jacqueline dupree Friday, August 13th 2010 at 6:53PM

OH. What's up Cynth!!!!

Jen Fad Friday, August 13th 2010 at 9:08PM

Sister Irma,
Why be so sentimental when it comes to Black folk overdosing? She's lucky she didn't go into kidney failure taking those tylenol. Ha! Fantasia is a celebrity just like the late Anna Nicole was and Marilyn Monroe. When those ladies died ~~ the press ~~ reported Drug overdose. Anyway you are entitled to your opinions, but I am a nurse so therefore the authority on whether meds and drugs are synonymous. You have a nice weekend.

Jen Fad Friday, August 13th 2010 at 10:54PM

Sister Irma I plead the 5th!

DAVID JOHNSON Saturday, August 14th 2010 at 12:28AM

WHAT IS A LITTLE LADIES PARTY !

Jen Fad Saturday, August 14th 2010 at 2:22PM

@Brother David
Yes its something like that~~a ladies parties, but men are free to join the fun!

@Sister Irma
I totally agree with you regarding the child. Fantasia knows better afterall she grew up in the church and I'm sure her mother tried to warn her. Listen like my grandmothers says all the time when we were younger and even to the great great grandkids now~~ a hard head makes a soft behind.

Cynthia Merrill Artis Saturday, August 14th 2010 at 9:41PM

Hey Dupree...

Cynthia Merrill Artis Saturday, August 14th 2010 at 9:49PM

Jen... I wondered the same thing!! Why was it an attempted suicide! I know women by nature have been designed and programmed to be strong... be the nurturer... be the care giver.... WE LOOK FOR LOVE... society says.. we are supposed to grow up get married and have our family.... and live happily ever after ... the end...

WELL it aint so... I have had some very difficult set backs in life.... I've taken a sleeping pill, along with a pain pill.... to numb my feelings... NOT an attempt to take my life. Fantasia is young... unfortunately she took the wrong combination of medications... MY take... when black folks attempt suicide.... there is no attempt... ITS done....

Fantasia is overwhelemd and she has a lot to sort out....
Dupree Im on the same stance with you regarding married individuals... The other woman always comes short in the end

Jen Fad Saturday, August 14th 2010 at 11:02PM

@ Sister Cynthia,

[I've taken a sleeping pill, along with a pain pill.... to numb my feelings...]

I'm very happy you are still around to tell about it sistah.

Cynthia Merrill Artis Saturday, August 14th 2010 at 11:23PM

Yes... Jen... doctors prescribe meds-cocktails... all the time...

Jen Fad Sunday, August 15th 2010 at 12:25AM

I know doctors prescribe contails and perhaps this is one reason the late Micheal Jackson isn't with us. We have to be really careful and make sure we read the warning labels on our meds before taking them. Fantasia is blessed to be still alive and hopefully she'll learn from this so that she doesn't send the wrong message to her young daughter.

Cynthia Merrill Artis Sunday, August 15th 2010 at 3:13AM

Irma no... it goes both ways... married individuals... First i don't believe in cheating... or getting involved with married or common law married... nor men in committed relationships... I just don't believe a man who is involved with someone else can be there for me. I believe that there are certain things that are off limits and require restrictions...

Im not blaming Fantasia solely for what has happened and Im trying not to be too critical... well the story... real story... has to come from the parties involved.

@Jen... no that was not a cocktail that Dr... perscribed for MJ... that was a BOMB... did you read the chemicals found in his system... OMG.. that Dr. perscribed everthing from anti-depressants to pre operative sedation... that was unethical and just plane insane....

and Jen... that only happened one time after my surgery... Juicy.. really..ya!

Jen Fad Sunday, August 15th 2010 at 10:25PM

@ Sister Irma
I think poor Tasia is the victim in the sense that she's not smart (learning disability) but hey she should have had good people around her. As far MJ I Sister Sister Cynthia said it~~ He had a bomb!
Oh well~~ I've learned that as African Americans and as women we have to be very proactive when it comes to the health care system. Alot times we don't get exactly what we should get, but Tasia's story will come out in the wash.
The guy is also to blame, but how could she be dating an ordinary person. He's like a regular ole' Joe Blow from N.C.

Jen Fad Tuesday, August 17th 2010 at 9:53PM

...She met dude in a T-Mobile store. How does this happen? Did I mention that North Carolina is one of seven states in the USA that has a ''home wrecker'' law... As per Brother David's blog update. What?!

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

Jen, I still lov ya. Just don't want to take you post of topic that's all.(smile)

I am more worried about the affect and effect this is going to have on her child who is innocent in all of this.Fantaisa is an adult and can defend her self but not this child. (smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

...BUT NOT TO WORRY jEN, i AM GONE. (SMILE) i DON'T LIKE BEING CALLED A RACIST...

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

S-T-O-P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please not let us return to the days when the frmale was theonly one held responsiable for teh unwanted, unexpected pragnancy...
because Fantaisa was not in this all by herself...

that telling the teen if she loves me she will do it is no different than the "I am going to get a divorce and marry you...does anyof us not think that tiger woods or anyone else gets married to get a divorce?!>

Me I hold the person who is married more responsible taht the single person they know if they re married or not...how many of us did a back ground check just to date the same person because we loved their company...there is more to life and a union than s*x...

did this man's wife beat ihm every day has she had s*x with him in the past few years is the wife having an affair of her own...there is more than we see on tv because theyonly give the senstaional part...is this child broke in debt running from a mob debt collectors...

just my reaction to this turning into a DRUG ofer DOSE, part. lol (smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

Now that M.J. name has come up...didn't he die relatively broke?!? or did he have moe things to pawn to keep going on?!? lol (smile)

the more I think about this poor child Fantaisa, I wonder who may not have been using her since her Idol win?...POOR THING...HAS ANY FAMILY OR FRIENDS NOW COME OUT IN HER DEFENSE AS i KNOW SHE COULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN BROK ALL BY HER SELF. (NUP)

AND, IF FOR NO OTHER REASON SHE SHOULD NOW KNOW WHO HER TRUE FRIENDS ARE AND THIS IS A GOOD THING...dON'T YOU ALL THINK SO? (SMILE)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

@JEN, WHERE DOES THE SENTIMENTAL AND BLACK FOLK COME INTO THIS...

LETS TRY WHAT i AM GETTING AT...THE FIRST REPOETING OF THIS OVER DOSE WAS SHE HAD OVER DOSED ON SLEEPING PILLS AND ASPIRINS...RIGHT????

i WAS REFERING TO HOW THINGS ARE SAID THE CHANGES THE MEANINGS, EXAMPLE, DO WE IN AMERICA CALL ALCOHOL WHAT IT REAL IS...AN ACUTE (DEADLY) ADDICTIVE D-R-U-G OR A D-O-W-N-E-R????...i WOULD SAY NO BECAUSE IT COULD NOT BE SEEN IN AN AD ON TV DURING THE FAMILY HOUR AS IT IS, NOW WOULD WE SO THE WORDS ARE CHANGED TO FIT IN WITH HOW MUCH ATTENTION NEEDED AND AN ASPRIN OVER DOSE SURE IN NOT ATTENTION GETTING ESPECIALLY WHEN TALKING ABOUT SAY ...A SERIAL KILLER V A SPREE KNIFINGS...(SMILE)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

THAT STUFF given M.J. he was supposed to have someone watching him at all times or was it somthing that was not to have been done outside of a hospital at all?

It seem to have been some powerful stuff and to powerful to say oh, oh and it was going to help...That doctor needs to go to prison for that neglect or HAVE HIS LISCENSE TAKEN FOR GOOD.

i DON'T THINK i WOULD WANT TO WORK FOR SPOILED RICH PEOPLE ANY WAY. tHEY PROBABLY WAS TO RUN EVERY THING THERI WAY. m.j. SEEMED TO BE A VERY QUIET EASY GOING PERSON. (SMILE)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

You ae so correct Doc. sometimes we need to use theFIRE BALL stingers and some times we need to use the OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...but we should never ever forget that the majority is going to hold our whole race accountable for just one of us doing sOmething consider as doing something un socaily and __________ wrong....

nup and a GIANT smile of pride in your self respect and representation of the STRONG, PROUD BLACK WOMAN...NOT TO MENTION TEH SINGLE MOTHER RAISING POSIVIVE, PROUD, PRODUCTIVE BLACK MALES...AND TEH NATIVE-AMERICAN PART IS A FARTHER BLESSING FOR AMERICA AS WELL AS MANKIND....

JUST MY 2 CENTS (110 % ) WORTH . (SMILE)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

It is so funny and more of the America way to change the whole matter by changing the the headlines to , "DRUG OVER DOSE"...I WONDER WHY ?!? lol

(SMILE)
