Radaronline.com is reporting that Fantasia Barrino met with her ex-boyfriend’s wife, Paula Cook, in an attempt to settle their dispute and keep details of the singer’s alleged affair with Antwaun Cook private and out of the Mecklenburg County courthouse.
After nearly 12 hours the ladies were unable to reach a settlement. “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.”
According to the source, Paula Cook plans to move forward with a civil lawsuit and the two are set to meet in a North Carolina courthouse again on Nov. 22.
“Fantasia was prepared to pay Paula as much as $100,000 to settle during their mediation, but it fell through,” another source told RadarOnline.com.
“Paula plans on going all the way and is going to sue Fantasia for “Alienation of Affection,” a law still recognized by only seven states – including North Carolina – where an abandoned spouse can file suit against the party responsible for the failure of their marriage, typically the adulterous spouse’s lover.
Back in August Fantasia attempted to kill herself by overdosing on aspirin after reading a court complaint filed by Paula naming her as a homewrecker.
