Fantasia VH1 Reality Show
American Idol Season 3 winner Fantasia Barrino is set to return to reality television in a new unscripted series on VH1.
The project will chronicle the nine-time Grammy-nominated singer’s life as a recording artist and young single mother.
“Fantasia’s life has been an open book, but at 24 years old, her story has just begun,” says executive producer Randy Barbato. “We look forward to smashing expectations and revealing the fresh, funny and unexpected side of this one-of-a-kind country girl and superstar.”
“Fantasia has one of the most fascinating stories in show business, from her tough upbringing to her meteoric rise on the national scene thanks to American Idol,’” Jeff Olde, Executive VP Original Programming at VH1, tells The Hollywood Reporter.
“Her challenges from fame and her unwillingness to fail have combined to create a larger-than-life talent who appeals to music lovers around the world. So many people wanted to work with her on this, but Fantasia is now part of the VH1 family, and we’re so happy to have her.”
The 24-year-old North Carolina native will reprise her role as “Celie” in The Color Purple: The Musical playing at the Kennedy Center in Washington this summer.
Fantasia’s VH1 reality show debuts early next year.

Mrs. Barrino I’ve enjoyed following your carrer and I think you’ve grown into a wonderful person, mother and entertainer. I don’t know about the intimate details of your family to make an informed opinion, however Mr.Tiny comes off as being alittle envious of your success. I met you at a restaurant in Greensboro where I worked and you were very courteous and normal, so to think you would be some kind of way to him seems odd to me. I wish you continued success.

I’m so glad your back. Rid your self of hard time and people at arms length that might shorten your growth. The only way your brother will grow up is for him to be on his on. He’s been pamper to much.

Fantasia, have you ever heard …if nothing changes, nothing changes, If you continue to enable your Brother he will never move forward. And you will have the burden of taking care of him forever. Be strong and let Tinny go on his own, he is a grown man who knows how to push your buttons to weaken your spirit. What I have observed he is very envious of you. You gotta let Tinny go.

Please let your brother go. I know that you love him however, He needs a wake-up call. You will be supporting him for the rest of his life if you don’t let him go. It is time that he learns what the real world is like. As long as you take care of him he’s never going to grow-up and become a man.
He is to dependent on you.
LOVE YOUR SHOW

Fantasia, I hope i don’t come off hars. I really admire you from where you have come to where you are now. However; we are Gods kids and we all know sucide is not a part of serving God. I know there is always more to a story than what we see or hear. I am going by what you said on your show. Whenever you are dating aman that does not have a divorce decree in his hands you have made the Lord frown. I really expected more from you and maybe that’s the probably too many people have you on this peddle stool and you shouldn’t be on it. I just want to say you have a little girl that have to hear and deal with all this bs. You have got to make better decisions and when your aunt tried to tell you, you didn’t want to hear it baby with age comes wisdom. I say all this to say. You should never want what belongs to someone else and I really hope you have learned a great lesson. I am talking to you because I really admire you. Yea I’ve heard the Alicia Keys and Gabrielle Union did it but I just expected somehting like that from them but you know the man I serve and to much is given much is required. Stay strong.

Fantasia I am watching your show as I type and how can you feel betrayed when you talked to a married man and allowed yourself to fall in love with this man. Does anyone care about the wife. A seperated man is nothing but a man who wants his cake and to eat it to. When do we as black women stop playing the victim and really step up our game and respect each other as women. Men could not get away with half the bs the do if we as women would stop allowing it. If they say the married WALK THE HELL AWAY. IF YOU ARE WHO THEY REALLY WANT THEN DO WHAT THEY GOTTA DO TO GET YOU AND THEN MAYBE WE’LL FIGURE IT OUT. COME ON NOW WE HAVE GOT TO START THINKING. THEN YOU PROFESS TO LOVE CHRIST THEN DO AS HE WOULD DO. ONE THING HE DAID HE CAN NOT SATND IS A LIAR, A MAN WHOS SEWS DISCORD AND AN ADULTEROUS. IF AM MAN CHEATS WITH YOU DAMN IT HE WILL CHEAT ON YOU. COME ON NOW.
