Her $1.3 million Charlotte home is in foreclosure

Court papers show that the huge 6,500-square-foot house, which Fantasia bought last year for $1.3 million, will be auctioned off Jan. 12.

Records show she took a $1-million mortgage on the property in Charlotte from the Bank of America. Goldman said that Barrino never answered the complaint against her and a judge ruled for the plaintiff by default

The house is located in one of Charlotte's ritziest neighborhoods on a golf course. The two-story stucco home boasts a large arched wooden front door and is decorated throughout with exotic art. A duel sweeping staircase greets visitors in its front hall, while tropical fish frolic in a massive fish tank upstairs that is visible from the front hall. A large, glass dining room table is adorned with what appears to be a statue of a cougar.

What is wrong with people. Why didn't she just get something she could afford and pay cash? She could always have sold it later and "bought up" . . . that is simply ridiculous.

Shocker since we have not heard anything about her since American Idol.

Well, actually, I do have an educational connection in the household that I am not willing to disclose, and do hear some rumors.

I cannot say that I am surprised at these latest developments.

What is so sad . . . she could have bought something more modest and known she had security for herself and her daughter for the rest of their lives, regardless of how big of a star she became. But now, it is all down the tubes and she is no better off than she was five years ago. Plus owes money!

Wasted opportunity. Seems the lure of the bling blinded her - wh/ is what happens to so many people. Just really sad b/c she is a talented young woman.
