When word leaked out that Fantasia testified that she'd aborted her married lover's child at his divorce hearing, I wondered what could have made her admit she'd gotten pregnant, let alone had an abortion, knowing full well it could cost her millions in her Alienation of Affection lawsuit. Come to find out she had to admit it because Antwaun told his wife Paula everything and Paula's lawyer brought it up in court.
Transcript of Fantasia's testimony behind the jump.

(ARGUMENTS BETWEEN LAWYERS)
Lawyer: "Ms Barrino, isn't it true that you told Mr. Cook that you had aborted his child?"
Fantasia: "When I wrote this letter I was speaking in future references. Like, one day, I would love to be all of these things that I wrote. I was not pregnant with his child."
Lawyer: "But did you tell Mr. Cook you aborted his child?"
Fantasia: "I did, yeah."
Lawyer: "When did you tell Mr. Cook you had aborted his child?
Fantasia: "I'm not sure."
Lawyer: "When did you abort his child?"
Fantasia: "It hasn't been too long ago."
Lawyer: "What's not too long ago?
Fantasia: "I'm not sure."
Lawyer: "I'm sorry?"
Fantasia: "I'm not sure. Probably when all this other stuff was happening."
Lawyer: "Is it your testimony that this summer?"
Fantasia: "I'm not really sure."
Lawyer: "How close in proximity was it to Mr. Cook leaving? In June 2010."
Fantasia: "It was right after he left his home."
Lawyer: "Mrs. Cook contends that she separated from Mr. Cook in June 16th 2010. How close in proximity to her date of separation did you contend that you aborted his child?"
Fantasia: "I'm not sure. Probably August when the other stuff happened."
