drewsmom Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Just curious if the OM OW would continue with their affair if they were in a state that has this law. Fantasia stands to lose everything for her affair, so I am wondering if others in her situation would have these affairs if you stood to lose everthing. Cant remember the names of the couple this happened to before but the mistress had to pay the wife 9 million dollars. Link to post Share on other sites
LucreziaBorgia Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 There are plenty of people here in that state that have affairs regardless. The AOA/CC case is an expensive one to bring to trial, and rarely pays off in the end. There have been a few really big payoff cases here, but you don't see AOA/CC brought up too frequently. In Fantasia's case, she is screwed. A lawyer may not be able to prove AOA, but the CC part is in the bag since there is an actual tape of her and MM having sex. The BW in this case stands to make bank on it, and probably will. Link to post Share on other sites
hopesndreams Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 "He don’t want you. Maybe the next time that you get a husband you'll know how to keep him. That's why he is here with me." That's on tape too. Link to post Share on other sites
LucreziaBorgia Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I suspect that this whole AOA/CC thing is partly why she overdosed - she knows she can't win in this. Link to post Share on other sites

There are also pictures surfacing on the net today of Fantasia and the MM in Barbados kissing and hugging on the beach from months ago. She is screwed, and this is why affairs are a no-win situation. Either the AP is left holding the bag while the MM/MW doesn't leave the marriage AS PROMISED, or the MM/MW eventually cheats on the AP. Only in very few cases does the "affair couple" live a long and happy life together - (but that can, and does happen.) Link to post Share on other sites
Mimolicious Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Oh dayum! I had no idea this was happening with her. I am sure that if the law came down hard on it, few people would actually consider entertaining As and doing so in the public eye. Link to post Share on other sites
NoIDidn't Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Fantasia is sooooo screwed. That quote by hopesanddreams is enough to seal her fate. "He don't want you no more...." - the lack of affection "That's why he is here with me". - the admission of being part of the alienation of it. That was such a nasty thing to say. I wonder how long the MM will be with her after she gets wiped out financially by his STBXW. Link to post Share on other sites

NoIDidn't Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Who is fantasia and what is AOA/CC? She is a former American Idol winner that has a very successful R&B career. I am not an American Idol watcher, but I do listen to her music. Link to post Share on other sites
YellowShark Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Who is fantasia and what is AOA/CC? Fantasia Barrino is a "Z" list celebrity in America who won of the third season of the television series American Idol in 2004. Since winning she's disappeared into relative obscurity. AOA = "Alienation of Affection" - Alienation of Affection is a lawsuit that can be filed against a third party for interfering with your marital relationship and alienating your feelings from your spouse. CC = I dunno what that means. Link to post Share on other sites

LOL. So true. Her affair with this guy has been the topic of gossip boards for quite some time. So I can't say her career has ever generated as much interest as this affair has. LOL. I guess the W was just waiting for some irrefutable proof and Fantasia gave it to her. That quote was probably music to the W's lawyer's ears. Link to post Share on other sites
Woggle Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 She certainly has some issues but the husband is to blame. She did not put a gun to his head and make him cheat. Why is she being sued for his actions? Link to post Share on other sites

This society is already sue happy enough as it is. Just divorce the guy and move on. She might have taken advantage of a situation but she did create it and if she were not around it would be somebody else. Also this is a bit off topic but how come this case is getting a bunch of coverage but Alicia Keys marrying a married man gets nothing? Link to post Share on other sites

She's set to star in the movie version of the musical. And she had a movie made about her life. It all started with this performance: (Summertime) Link to post Share on other sites

Well, obviously the State Legislature in North Carolina disagrees with you and feels that the betrayed should be able to sue for AOA/CC. Alicia Keys was in a state that did not have such a law. But she is certainly suffering in the court of public opinion. Link to post Share on other sites

It hasn't just been in the tabloids. Its been spoken about on the radio, on nationally syndicated shows even before this case came about. But now that the case is filed, it will likely be spoken of even more. I can say that I haven't really read the actual articles my friends have spoken about. I talk about it on FaceBook with people that have read it elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites

GAWD...where do you even start with celebrities? Alicia Keys cheated with MM Swizz Beatz. Angelina Jolie cheated with MM Brad Pitt. Julia Roberts cheated with MM Daniel Moder. LeAnn Rimes cheated with MM Eddie Cibrian. Patti Scialfa cheated with MM Bruce Springsteen. Marla Maples cheated with MM Donald Trump. Camilla Parker-Bowles cheated with MM Prince Charles. Then ya got Tiger Woods, Jesse James, etc. etc. The list is endless... This is not true. She's had several R&B hits. She has starred on Broadway in a Tony award musical (The Color Purple). She's set to star in the movie version of the musical. And she had a movie made about her life. Fantasia Barrino is a relative nobody who's had mediocre success. In the US she is a "Z" list celebrity... in Europe she is unknown. We agree to disagree. Link to post Share on other sites

I knew exactly who you were talking about from the title of the thread. She doesn't have to use her last name. I'm with Woggle. Punish the H who cheated on his W because it was he who took the vows. She'll get more work from this publicity and she and MM will ride into the sunset off the $$$ she'll make on it. Link to post Share on other sites

NoIDidn't Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I hate to say this but it will probably be good for her career. It gets her exposure. I disagree and I agree. She does a lot on the Black Church circuit. She will likely have to prove to them that she left that married man BS alone and changed her mentality about adultery to be accepted by them again. They are the ones buying up her albums. She will likely suffer if they turn their backs on her. If she "repents" just as publicly as she's being slammed, they might continue to support her. While affairs might be huge in the church, they take shunning those involved (especially the woman) very seriously. Link to post Share on other sites
