: Remember way back when MediaTakeOut.com was the FIRST NEWS SOURCE in the world to tell you that Fantasia Barrino’s home was facing foreclosure. And when all of a sudden, it was mysteriously off the block.
Well according to our pals over at the National Enquirer, it was Simon Cowell who gave her the money to keep her home. Here’s how they’re reporting it:
”Very quietly, Simon promised to help Fantasia take care of some of her back payments she owed so the house wouldn’t go up on the block … His offer of monetary support helped her stave off creditors, at least for the time being.”Here’s more:
Simon didn’t want to take any credit for it, he just wanted to help her out of a jam,” disclosed the insider. “He was hoping to keep his good deed a secret. He didn’t want to cause Fantasia any further public embarrassment.”Good for Simon ... now hopefully it ain't back up for auction in a few months...
That was a good look.

P.S. Only for real Hustlers!!!
Why not help someone who is busting their tail everyday? Fantasia chose to leave the Color Purple to chase after some rapper. She could have been and still can earn a income as a performer or she can get a 9-5 like the rest of us. While it was nice of Simon to help her I think there are more deserving folks.
I don't believe there is anything going on between Fantasia and Simon.
Simon has made a boatload of money off Fantasia. He has ownership in American Idol.
If this is true, it was the least he could do and it was the decent thing to do.
Sometimes the kindness of strangers and "other" folks is what can get us through a jam..where was Oprah and any of our other rich folks to help Fantasia, who have also profited? Hmmmm...
Now Fanny please get rid of all the leaches draining your pocketbook, GROW A BACKBONE AND KICK THEM OUT!! And ask Simon to not only help out temporarily, but to help you get some financial education SO THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN EVER AGAIN! And you and your little girl will be set for life as your talent says you deserve to be.
Yeah, stay on your grind gurrl..keep that money coming in..and we know you will cause you're a hard worker. Keep it movin Fantasia hun
clara Flag post without good white people where would blacks be???<<<DUMB SH'IT OF THE DAY!
Unlike your prejudice, racist ass, British do not care about skin tone. It's not a black and white thing. As soon as you quit categorizing and separating and grouping people, you'll see the world in a whole different light, u bitch!
@notonwelfare

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT WITHOUT DOING RESEARCH? FANTAISA HAD A CANCEROUS CYST ON HER THROAT. WHILE ON TOUR WITH THE COLOR PURPLE SHE ALYAYS USED TO TASTE BLOOD IN HER MOUTH AN BE REALLY TIRED SO SHE GOT CHECKED OUT AND THATS WHAT SHE FOUND OUT. DO YOUR RESEARCH?
OH YEAH, IF OPRAH THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS A LIABILITY TO THE TOUR WHY WOULD SHE ASK FANTASIA AFTER SHE IS DONE WITH PROMOTING HER THIRD ALBULM THIS YEAR TO COME BACK AND START SHOOTING THE MOVIE MUSICAL TO THE COLOR PURPLE? RESEARCH FOLKS BEFORE MAKING STORIES UP ABOUT THE HARDEST WORKING AND BEST SANGER IN THE FIELD RIGHT NOW. *********************************************
HEYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! YALL WONT TO SEE WHAT A TRUE SANGER LOOKS LIKE WHEN SHE IS AT HER BEST? YALL WONT TO SEE HOW TO PUT ON A BAD ASSSS SHOW? WONT TO SEE HOW TO DRAW THE CROWD IN WHEN SINGING? YOUTUBE FANTASIA SINGS FOR PATTI LABELLEN AT THE UNCF AND WATCH A TRUE AND UP IN COMING LEGEND.
I have never contributed to this site. However there were a couple of comments that made me wanna sign on and address. The first is baby (Ezra_Yisrael1970) I like what you wrote and the fact that you understand baby (Fantasia) is not the brightest lit candle in the house. She is not a real educated sisters and even though she did come up her living beyond her means did catch up with her. Hope she learns from it. Now this Clara chick (and trust me I do not call women chicks in a complementary way) That statement equates to exactly what you are worth. A few dead babies down your throat. why would you come to the jungle preachin that fake ass Tarzan [EXPLETIVE]. get that [EXPLETIVE] outta here maggott!! All others please excuse my vulgarity

Don't feel bad. Sometimes you gotta get low to address a lowlife. clara has exhibited lowlife-ness every post!
See, white people help out black ppl a lot ...... I come on MTO and certain amounts of you always dogging white ppl saying that dey are the devil and such( like I said certain amount of you all) .... so where was Jay-Z wen this went down.... why da rich black man ain't help da sister out... for u racist black ppl I think that u should reconsider all the bad comments dat u post of ppl of other races cuz the above story jus make y'all sound stupid.......
That is so cool of Simon.... say what you want, but I didn't see none of those peeps she has been kickin it with try to help her! I thought she was engaged to some rapper guy?? Anyway, someone said "she is too smart to become broke again"... excuse me, but didn't she just learn to read a couple of years ago. I have to give it to her for being smart enough to finally learn, however, she more than likely is not that intelligent. Buying a massive mansion that she can not afford was not very smart, allowing those grown a$$ folk to live off of her for free isn't very smart neither. Get it together Fantasia... when one of us succeeds, we all succeed!
@pinkdiamondprincess: srry if I didn't make I clear but I wuz just using his name as an example of a rich black person, because I'm pretty sure dat she is friend with a rich black person who having any problem during this econmic crisis..... if there is some1 that she personally knows who can afford let's say meaningless jewelry or cars at this point in time then dat person should help her out rite...... ?
S.O.H.H.C.O.M HAS BREAKING NEWS, B4 MTO STEALS THE CREDIT---- The brother of Black Eyed Peas' Allan "apl.de.ap" Pineda Lindo was fatally shot while in the Phillippines.
A local autority has confirmed the murder.
Chief Inspector Wilfredo Paulo said Joven Pineda Deala was shot in the head early Tuesday as he and his girlfriend were eating in his car that was parked outside the woman's home in Angeles City. He says the gunman and his accomplice escaped on foot. The 21-year-old Deala died on the way to the hospital. (Associated Press) Apl's brother was reportedly very close to him.
Joven is the youngest in the brood and is said to be the favorite brother of Apl.de.ap, an abandoned son of a black American serviceman in the former Clark Air Base just outside the village of Sapang Bato where the rapper built a home. The wake for Joven is held there. (Show Biz & Style) Authorities are currently investigating the murder.
Police are still searching for a suspect and do not yet have a motive for the killing, though various media outlets have reported the murder may have been the result of a love triangle. Apl, 34, is expected to fly to the Philippines to attend his sibling's wake and burial. (E! Online)
THAT'S COOL IF IT'S TRUE...BUT THE MAIN REASON FOLKS ARE BROKE NOW IS BECAUSE PEOPLE KEEP BUYING THINGS THEY CAN'T AFFORD...YOU DON'T NEED A MANSION TO HAVE NICE HOME..YOU GOT TO FIX YOUR PLACE UP AND MAKE IT YOUR OWN...IT EVEN INCREASES VALUE THAT WAY....FOLKS JUST WANT TOO MUCH THESE DAYS...NOTHING WRONG WITH MODEST LIVING....
trixie flagpost Simon Cowell is a judge on American Idol he decides if people can sing or dance, has anybody seen Simon dance or heard him sing unless he can dance like Michael Jackson and sing like Luther Vandross who is he to judge anyone let alone black people -------
I DON'T THINK BERRY GORDY , QUINCY JONES, RICK RUBIN, OR DAVID GEFFEN CAN SING EITHER. SOME OF US JUST HAVE THE UNIQUE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE TALENT AND STAR QUALITY.
@ POSTS- I CAN BELIEVE THAT SIMON BAILED HER OUT. LOL. I BELIEVE IT. I REMEMBER THEY SAID THAT AMER.IDOL/SIMON PAID FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION FOR HER ONE TIME. HE HAS OPENLY STATED THAT FANTASIA AND CARRIE OR HIS FAVORITES. DO YOU, FANTASIA. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE HATERS GIRL.
There no reason why this woman can't get a job and pay her mortgage like the rest of us; even if she can't sing due to medical problems. Why not get a desk job? She is not handicapped to the point where she can not take care of herself. We all have to do what we can to provide for our families she is no different.
some of y'all are just too much. the fact that the man helped her out does NOT mean that he is "getting something in return". all this proves is that the man clearly has a good heart. i suppose nobody here has ever had a favor done for them without having to give anything in return,huh? he helped her out because he's a good man. that's the extent of it. stop trying to make fantasia look less than a good,god-fearing woman.
regardless of how much money she supposedly has/had, she is a young girl who was in a tough spot, as we all sometimes are in. everyone watched her get ridiculed as her demise was plastered all over the media including MTO. so please do not find any reason to discredit this man's good deed.
even if it was a tax write off, at least he bailed her out. she also gained!
Anyway, Simon is a good man underneath all of that sarcasm and smugness. People literally take him for what they see on American Idol? All three of them can’t be airheaded like Paula..otherwise it would be boring and predictable. Simon brings that edge. Reports also say that he gave his ex-girlfriend a huge monetary settlement or I should say gift, after they broke up. She never sued him, nor was she entitled to anything , because they were not married. Simon has a heart. I wish that I were aquainted with him. I’d date Simon…. (snickering)…
I lived in London for a year and Simon is English and has that type of demeanor. He doesn't suffer fools. Simon is extremely generous he gave his ex-Terri Seymour 10Million dollars after they split. He is still friends with all his exes. That say alot about a man. Simon is truthful and the truth hurts, he is doing many of those people a favour. Why keep up the delusion when you have no talent just to be nice.
Rich People in entertainment don't do favors out of the kindness of their heart as much as you all want to believe. There is always a price to pay. There is interest that's going to be paid in one form or another. If there wasn't something that he could procure from her, he would not waste his petty cash. LOL @ people think that british people are all nice for the simple fact they are british. Princess Diana would beg to differ, I bet. Some of you really take MTO info and make it something to live by. SMH!!
MY REACTION TO: Tika90 Flag post That was nice of him....but WE didn't have to know about it. --------------- ARIES BABY!!!!!!!! SEXY AND CONFIDENT!!!
MY COMMENT: I agree, man, we DIDN'T have to know bout it. But then when you think about it, maybe Barrino felt the 'bad' pub would actually be GOOD pub. To stir up some public interest, could be. It could go either way. She need some direction in her career, and some passion with her artform. And a message overall or image, a persona. She got the voice and the tanacity, damn. If I didn't like Fantasia I wouldn't be sayin' this.
MY REACTION TO: Ezra_Yisrael1970 Flag post Between Fantasia, Frenchie, & Jennifer Hudson, these women MADE American Idol what it was in that particular season.
American Idol's game stepped up 10 paces when the sisters did their thing but thereafter, it has fell short time and time again.
In my opinion, Fantasia did NOT get the MASTERS to her own music so the least the industry can do is allow the young lady to have her expenses met: after all, they made millions of $$ off these Black singers.
I rest my case. --------------- Meaninglessness Equate To Nothingness!
MY COMMENT: YOU NAILED IT!!

Yeah, stay on your grind gurrl..keep that money coming in..and we know you will cause you're a hard worker. Keep it movin Fantasia hun --------------- Bankruptcy - davylawfirm.com
MY COMMENT: You have beautiful hair and skintone, and may God continue to bless you.
it was nice of simon to do that...BUT...fantasia shoulda known she couldnt afford that house...she never went platinum i dont think...and she had like 2 good songs...she one of the reason the economy is in the shythole cuz dumbass ppl like her livin beyond their means...what happens in a couple of months when the bills come in? we...meaning people with jobs have to pay for her mess...das bull shyt...her ass need to get a job FO REAL!!!
that's wassup! good lookin' Simon! Fantasia is underrated vocally! i love this chick's voice! anybody see her on Bobby Jones Gospel Hour and the Patti LaBelle tribute show?! she may not dress the best but i'll be damn if she can't kill the mike and draw "wows" from the crowd!she'd kill ALL the females out now vocally! she's a baby Patti!
yeah this seems like a lie..simon looked disgusted when fantasia was a guest on last years american idol and she performed like she was a maniac and screaming in the mic. i've never heard of simon donating for anything and i doubt he would give money to her. she needs to go get a real job cuz no one is buying her cds anyways
Yeah he always seemed like a real cool dude. She needs to get it together and stop vacation and start working harder and working on albums. I thought she just quit or something. Maybe she is not hungry for it no more because I never see her on television singing or hear her songs. You don't even hear about her no more except who she is dating.
