This is just getting weirder and sadder by the day. Fantasia admits in an interview that she intentionally overdosed on aspirin and a sleep aid a couple of weeks ago.
"I didn't have any fight in me. I didn't care about anything. I just wanted out," the American Idol winner, 26, tells VH1 in a new Behind the Music interview, airing 9 p.m. ET/PT Tuesday, the same day her new album, Back to Me, is released. "At that moment, I wanted out. I wanted it to be over with ? all of it, all of that [expletive]."
She continues: "I just sat in the closet and looked at the mirror and took all the pills in the bottle. I wanted to go to sleep and just be at peace. I knew exactly what I was doing. You can't accidentally take a whole bottle of pills."
Fantasia's manager said the singer had been "extremely low" and when she sent him a text saying "I love you" he realized something might be seriously wrong.
"I wrote, 'You better not do anything or think about doing anything stupid.' And I left it at that. About 10 minutes later, Fantasia texted me back, and she said, 'Already did.' I went into Fantasia's room and saw her on the floor, and my heart just dropped."
Thank goodness her manager put two and two together! Since Fantasia is talking about this openly, I wonder if we'll see it all play out on her reality TV show 'Fantasia For Real.'
Between her new album coming out and the fall premiere of the second season of her reality TV show, Fantasia has a lot going on. Hopefully she's getting some help.
