Fanny....Life is CLEARLY Not a Fairytale!?!

Okay, so by now I'm sure you've gotten wind of Fantasia Barrino's latest 'declaration' that she is indeed 'with child'. I was asked to weigh in on this....so like to hear it....here it go!

Now, if you look back at my second post on this blog, I already spoke it into the universe that I was not surprised at all at the allegations of Fanny's pregnancy. Now of course, this was back when her pregnancy was simply 'speculation' but if you're in photos looking like you're about 20 months preggars with a a papasan chair....then what else are folks supposed to think! While I do think that in the beginning, this Antoine dude was probably telling Fanny one thing and then telling his wife something else....i.e. to Fanny: I'm tryin to be with you and to the wife: even though we're seperated, lets work it out! So while that may have worked for a period of time (*cue 'Everybody Plays the Fool), once this shit hit the media and the real story came out, I think Fanny knew all that she needed to know to make a well-informed decision. She hit a crossroads and had to decide in the face of all that came to light....does she kick him to the curb and move on to the next or does she continue messin with dude and all of his baggage because their connection is just that deep. Clearly we see which route she chose.

So herein lies the problem for me.....so you see the fire burning, some other folk have come along and added some gasoline and additional 'starter logs', the fire has even spread to other areas of your interest because it's just that hot....then you say to yourself, lemme keep 'dancing around the fire butt naked dipped in butter & Lawry's Season All'.....I shouldn't get burned, right? MA'AM!?! PROTECT YOURSELF!?! You can dance around the fire, streak through it, add some shit to it.....but what you must remember to do is protect yourself!!! I'm so not judging by any means, but when you have as much as she has to be totally fucked....or at the very least royally fucked contingent upon your actions, you've got to think this shit beyond we had a fun day at the amusement park so now you don't have to wear a condom tonight! Having said this, a part of me feels like a part of her was okay with getting pregnant by this dude as an illustration of how 'deep' their connection really is in spite of what the media may portray. BOO BOO, the game don't change! Whether you're Elaine from up the street, to Lisa Raye out in Turks & Caicos, to Maria Shriver in CA, to yo ignant ass here in NC! It doesn't matter how many floor exercises you prepare courtesy of Flirty Girl Fitness, how many round offs you can do in a row off of the ceiling fan, how many Pure Romance parties that you purchase a 'catalogue sampler' from, and the ultimate....how many children you bear.....a man ain't staying where he don't wanna be but for so long! So even if ya'll 'agreed' that you'll hang in there just to prove the 'paps' wrong (oh I'm sorry....cuz I just looooove you so much girl), now here comes this child that is sure to sober this dude up like a cop in your rearview mirror after leaving happy hour!

For Fanny's and the baby's sake, I hope they can hang tough but the foundation is extremely shaky...which is always telling. And is it me or does it seem like the drama with his wife just disappeared? What was decided? Is he still technically married? Where does he live? Is the wife (or ex-wife) done with the whole situation? I mean...so much information in the media....then NOTHIN! Weird!?! A part of me feels in my spirit that this dude may try to come out and say that the baby ain't his in the coming months. Wouldn't that be grand! Will they go on Maury? Will his mother support Fanny even though he's not claiming the child? Maybe they'll go on The People's Court over some shit that Fanny has given him (cuz you know she's bought him all kinds of stuff)? There's just so many more turns that this situation could take. Hmmmmm........

  1. Re, thank you for addressing this travesty. Fantasia's situation is just a microcosm of the trap that so much of our sistas fall into. Why am I holding out hope that she is knocked up by some random new guy (cause that would be better than who we all know the father probably is)?!

    As a mother of four, let me tell you, people don't just "get" pregnant. They do somethin' to get there...and after you have one "oops" baby, there is no excuse for another. Granted, Fantasia is in the position to take care of this child...and her other daughter...but her mindset has not grown with her bank account. If a man will bring you to the brink...so much so that you would try to take your life...there is no way you should be later bearing his child. All I can say is God bless them all...

  2. I concur Chené! I hope its a random dude... This is ridiculous. I wish as women that we were stronger than this. Even "he" should have been strong enough to say this could potentially ruin your life. Lets not be idiots if we are going to do this... I am sure there are still some loose ends there and for all we know an unsettled court case is still on and poppin'... and now this...

    Ladies be better than this! Seriously, be better than this... That is all I can say. I am just glad that the ladies in this group are strong and intelligent enough to know when to say when. We are all only human and yes we make mistakes but, its about growth and what we do to turn it around that counts. Clearly "Fanny" needs to understand her worth... She doesn't need an idiot, user and all around selfish dude to define her... She needs to want more for herself!

    LOL @ Re I want you to know when I read the title of this blog... I was like Fanny? ... Fanny who?

    When I read your blog I feel like we are all sitting in the living room listening to your epic tales... I hear your voice like in an episode of doogie howser as I read on !

    Thank you Re for the story and Chene for your response! I love you my sisters to pieces :)
