Antwaun Cook: Fantasia Didn't Break Up My Marriage

Antwaun Cook, the man who has been carrying on an "illicit sexual relationship" with Fantasia Barrino while he was still married, is trying his hand at damage control. Or he's trying to protect Fantasia, who is reportedly planning to marry once his divorce to Paula is finalized.

In a statement through his lawyer, Antwaun says he told Fantasia that he and his wife were separated. But Paula tells a different story.

"Antwaun would be remiss not to address the criticism and judgment he has received," the statement read. "He knew Fantasia Barrino but the failure of his marriage can in no way be blamed on anyone except the two people that were a part of the union – Paula and Antwaun....[Paula and Antwaun] expected their marriage to stand the test of time. Unfortunately, like many marriages, it did not turn out as planned. In late summer 2009, after years of discussion, the parties separated with the intention of no longer being married."

Riiiigggghhhhttttt.

All of this -- minus the inevitability that she'll be sued for being a homewrecker -- couldn't be better news for Fantasia, who has an album coming out this month. One of her first singles from the new album has recharted on the Billboard Hot 100 (it's # 90) and she has a full publicity schedule. On Aug. 24, she'll appear on Good Morning America where she is expected to openly discuss her suicide attempt and relationship with Antwaun.

What was that again, Linnetra? Oh, yes, close your legs to married men!
