Still Losing Her Home

Filed under: Fantasia

wenn2208659.jpg

As we mentioned last month, Fastasia Barrino is facing some serious money issues.

The former American Idol winner's North Carolina home has been seized and will be going up for sale at auction soon.

Now, reports reveal that her $1.3 million home will definitely be up for auction this coming Monday.

And as for Fantasia, she's apparently ignoring the legal threat.

It all seems to have started when she borrowed $65k back in 2006 from a Florida credit card company to pay back taxes to the IRS. The following year she paid back the company $10k but never paid the rest. So the company won the right in court last month to auction off her house for the balance.

And it seems over the past year she hasn't even responded to any court documents and no lawyer ever appeared in court to represent her. It wasn't until last month - when she was threatened with losing her home - that a rep finally got in contact with the lawyers for the credit company.

Fantasia's attorney yesterday declined to comment. And her agent referred all questions to her publicist but couldn't provide contact information for that person.

Shady!

And this isn't the first time she's had problems with money and losing her property. Back in 2005 she almost lost another home she owns in NC along with her over $200,000 Mercedes. And last year she failed to pay the $187,000 she borrowed to buy her Mercedes so she was sued by the car dealership but it was eventually resolved.

Time to get a GOOD accountant to pay your bills on time, honey!

And maybe a job to make some money.

    Has-been. Another 15-minute 'star'. LOL…she shoulda used her meager earnings to correct that ape mouth she has on her.

    Large girl living large. All the shit catches up sometime.

    awww… she sucked major ass though… she was getting too full over herself just b/c she did the Color Purple. Did you see her on Idol? I am sure Simon took that house from her… she was wearing an over sized trash bag and her vocals sucked!! all she did was scream into the mic!!



  4. 4

  24. 24

    That seems about right. She is black, illiterate, teen mom, no dad, finally gets 2 nickles to rub together and she buys a 1.3 million dollar house and a 200k car. Well thought out plan.



  25. 25

    Re: LettyB – Sushi with the boss……maybe some saki too..

    Not the brightest bulb in the bunch.



  35. 35

    Huh. For a second there, I thought it was that bitch from Atlanta Housewives, NeNe. She's also lost her home.



  36. 36

    Re: _Alice_ – HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!



  37. 37

    She lives in my neighborhood. It will be good to see her go. She sucks! I never liked her.



  38. 38

    hahaha black people



  39. 39

    Maybe she could start working at the ZOO! I hear they are a few Monkeys short. The San Diego Zoo is definitely hiring Chimps!!

    She should have just put it in the bank and lived off the interest, her and her child could have been very comfortable and never have to work. But ya got to be a stupid bimbo.



  42. 42

    Actually just got emailed. They are hiring singing Chimps. She might be a able to salvage her home and car! I have never seen a singing chimp before but I would be willing to pay big bucks to see that!!!!



  43. 43

    Who's gonna hire her, Perez! I heard all kinds of things about how unprofessional she was and how she actually missed performances and rehearsals when she was on Broadway doing The Color Purple. I mean. She dissed Oprah Winfrey, man!!! And Oprah put up with it to try and help her. If I was Oprah, I would take that young lady out to the woodshed!!! She needs someone to get strong and make her grow up and behave. She has a kid. She also probably has a TON of parasites trying to live off her. I am disgusted with her. If Oprah were giving me a chance to do something, or if she was even in my corner, I would work it, big time. Fantasia is a total fool.



  44. 44

    that ape lookin ho should just move back to the zoo



  45. 45

    maybe it's because she can't fucking read!



  46. 46

    Certain groups just are not capable for the most part of handling money. Euro-Americans came from area's of four seasons so they had to plan for tomorrow. Some others coming from Africa where there is basically one season learned to live day to day. If they want it they want it NOW waiting is not something they do? Nothing much has changed since they arrived here?



  47. 47

    Re: LettyB – Ahahahaha…it would never work!



  48. 48

    what the hell is a good accountant going to do perez? she has no money. she should have gotten a good financial advisor the day she won idol, but she was too dumb-How many idol winners are making millions? They haven' paid their dues and don't know their way around. She probably thought millions were going to be pushed through her mail slot forever. I saw her on cribs-it was totally ridiculous-she will lucky to come away with enough to buy a kia

    DAMN SHE IS ONE UGLY FAT BLACK BITCH!! WHO
    CARES IF SHE CAN SING- YOU CANT GET OVER
    THE FACE!!!!!



  50. 50

    Why do these celebs spend money they don't have? A million dollar home? 200 k car? She's no Madonna!



  51. 51

    She needs to think white and get real!



  52. 52

    Is that her dress or long armpit hair?!?!?



  53. 53

    lol, that's why you don't buy a $1.3 million home unless you're going to keep making more than that, she should have saved it ’cause now she'll never earn that much again.



  54. 54

    You can take the tranny out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the tranny!

    Sucks to be another statistic! At least she quit coloring her hair all those trashy colors



  56. 56

    PLEEZ PLEEZ PLEEZ NO NO NO NOBODY COME TO THE AID OF THIS BEAST AND BAIL HER OUT!!!
    .
    SO MANY REALLY STRUGGLING FAMILIES ARE STARVING AND PLEEZ GOD DON'T LET SOMEONE FEEL SORRY FOR THIS HO-BAG!
    .
    IF SOMEONE DOES HELP HER, DO IT BY RENTING HER A 1 BEDROOM APRTMENT IN AN AFFORDABLE SECTION OF TOWN. NO BEVERLY HILLS 5 BEDROOM HOUSE FOR THE 'POOR LITTLE THING'!!!



  57. 57

    LET THIS BE A LESSON…..
    .
    DON'T HAVE ONE OR TWO OUTSTANDING YEARS AND THINK YOU CAN GET A 30 YEAR MORTGAGE!!!!!!
    .
    PAY CASH FOR A NEW OR 2 YEAR OLD CAR AND PUT HALF DOWN IF POSSIBLE ON A HOUSE!!
    .
    IF THE MONEY CONTINUES… THEN GO OUT AND ACQUIRE MORE WEALTH!
    .
    BUT ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ONE PAID OFF CAR AND A SMALL MORTGAGE!!!! PAY OFF THE PRIMARY HOUSE TOO IF YOU CAN!!



  58. 58

    I would love to know the statistics of which race has the most shitty credit history per capita.



  59. 59

    Not a fan of Fantasia but obviously she overspent and didn’t have the right people managing her money
    If she still has any marketable talent then she can start over.



  60. 60

    she dont read none too goodly. thats probably why she didnt know how to pay the bills.

    her singing career is in the shitter, maybe she should go back to what she did before american idol….laying on her back giving 5 dolla fuck jobs.
