Fantasia Barrino was featured on VH1’s Behind the Music last night (August 24) where she discussed her suicide attempt and admits it wasn’t an accident at all.
I didn?t have any fight in me. I didn?t care about anything. I just wanted out. At that moment, I wanted out. I wanted it to be over with ? all of it, all of that.
She says she wasn’t happy when she woke up in the hospital and realized her suicide attempt “didn’t work” ? until her nurse, Melody, told her to get up and fulfill her destiny.
