I'm happy for her. She went through some terrible things so every time I see her looking awesome or getting another accomplishment it makes me smile.

Fantasia is brilliant in color purple.
I worked with her on that show years ago. She’s a nice person and incredibly talented. Glad to see her in the film.

You sure you have the right person?!!! As far as I know, she has one son, born in 2009.


She has three children from three dads, although she has not said who her son's (middle child) father is. At the time he was born, she was having an affair with a married man, Antwaun Cook. There was a court case where the man's estranged wife was trying to sue Barrino for breaking up their marriage, but the court resolved that the couple had become separated and estranged before Barrino started dating Cook. It is largely thought that Cook is her son's father, but it is only speculation as Barrino has never said who the father is/was.
Antwaun is the father. Fantasia has even posted an IG pic of her son with his siblings from his father.

How is that even possible?!
Is this a serious question? My cousin had a baby at 14 and then her daughter had a child at 16. My cousin was a grandmother at age 30.

I think that poster meant her career not her personal life. Fantasia had the bigger hits. Fantasia has had a rough life, from being raped in high school, being illiterate, high school drop-out, teen mother, experiencing domestic abuse as a teen, etc. Her life has not been easy but she persevered.

This. She very partially funded the show. Look at how long the list of A Strange Loop's producers is!

Produced by Barbara Whitman, Pasek, Paul & Stafford, Hunter Arnold, Marcia Goldberg, Alex Levy & James Achilles, Osh Ashruf, A Choir Full Productions, Don Cheadle & Bridgid Coulter Cheadle, Paul Oakley Stovall, Jimmy Wilson, Annapurna Theatre, Robyn Coles, Creative Partners Productions, Robyn Gottesdiener, Kayla Greenspan, Grove Entertainment, Kuhn, Lewis & Scott, Frank Marshall, Maximum Effort Productions Inc., Joey Monda, Richard Mumby, Phenomenal Media & Meena Harris, Marc Platt & Debra Martin Chase, Laurie Tisch, Yonge Street Theatricals, Dodge Hall Productions/JJ Maley, Cody Renard Richard, John Gore Organization, James L. Nederlander, The Shubert Organization (Robert E. Wankel: Chairman and CEO; Elliot Greene: Chief Operating Officer; Charles Flateman: Executive Vice President), RuPaul Charles, Alan Cumming, Ilana Glazer, Jennifer Hudson, Mindy Kaling and Billy Porter


Hmmm, you had to point out that it is a long list of people Yet, I don’t see YOUR name on the list🧐
Stop knocking others for whatever their accomplishment may be!


I mean, she just joined the producing team in April. The show's been in development for several years before that. It's great that she wrote a check, and she posted on social media about the show, which will certainly help ensure its continued success, but it's just not the same thing as winning for performing or being part of the creative team.
