The "American Idol" winner made the sensational confession in a North Carolina court on Monday, [Nov. 22] during Cook’s divorce proceeding with his ex-wife Paula.
"Facing questions before a Mecklenburg County Court judge, the famous singer, 26, was pressed on whether she knew Cook was living with Paula when they embarked on their illicit affair. Fantasia dated Cook “off and on for about 11 months” but said she believed he had separated from his wife.
In court, lawyers for the scorned wife pressed Fantasia about a hotel rendezvous that took place just a few days after meeting one another.
“Paula’s lawyer is arguing that they got the room because she knew he was still married,” one onlooker — who was inside the court — told RadarOnline.com.
There were no reporters in the courtroom and witnesses were asked to leave as Fantasia took the stand.
But multiple sources, including a Cook family source, confirmed Fantasia's explosive testimony to RadarOnline.com.
Fantasia became the center of a celebrity cheating scandal when she famously got the name “Cook” tattooed on her collarbone in honor of Antwaun.
“It just became heavy for me, so I just wanted to be away from the noise,” Fantasia said in a television interview.
Paula is now considering suing Fantasia over the unique Alienation of Affection law.
Alienation of Affection 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.
Fantasia and Paula failed to settle their differences through private mediation after a marathon 12-hour session on Nov. 1.
“Paula is not doing too well, having to hear all this in court and replay it all over, she’s emotionally torn,” one source close to the woman told RadarOnline.com.”
I really hope all the parties involved get the help that they need. Please remember people, suicide is never the answer!
