In this interview with TT Torrez from our affiliate station, Richmond’s 92.1, Fantasia Barrino opens up about being sued by her father, whether she is dating a married man and what it was like playing Celie in the The Color Purple.
She also addresses the rumors of her not being able to read and celebrates getting her high school diploma.
“I was prepared for the comedians and whatever people had to say. That’s why people are afraid to come out with their life stories. But I don’t care, I’m such a rebel. You play me like I’m dumb but I didn’t have anyone sit and read that whole Color Purple book for me…” – Fantasia
Her new album Back To Me is in stores August 10th.
