Fantasia And Paula Cook In Mediation

American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino met with her boyfriend’s scorned wife, Paula Cook, earlier this month in an attempt to keep the details of Barrino’s alleged affair with Antwaun Cook private and out of the Mecklenburg County courthouse according to RadarOnline.com. The two women attempted to settle their dispute through private mediation but the ladies were unable to reach a settlement, propelling Cook to move forward with a civil lawsuit against the singer. “Fantasia and Paula were in mediation for nearly 12 hours on November 1. “They didn’t settle because Fantasia refuses to acknowledge that she was aware of Paula’s marriage to Antwaun when she started dating him, and Paula is adamant that she knew.” Hit Links To This Post below for the rest.

Fantasia became the center of a celebrity cheating scandal last year when she famously got the name “Cook” tattooed on her collarbone in honor of her boyfriend Antwaun Cook – a married man. Fantasia and Paula are set to meet in a North Carolina courthouse again on November 22. Fantasia was prepared to pay Paula as much as $100,000 to settle during their mediation, but it fell through. Paula plans on going all the way and is going to sue Fantasia for Alienation of Affection which is a law still recognized by only seven states – one of which is North Carolina – where an abandoned spouse can file lawsuit against the party responsible for the failure of their marriage, typically the adulterous spouse's lover. Paula has filed for divorce from her philandering husband, who is still dating Fantasia.
