Let's Be Kind, yall!

Three weeks ago American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino attempted suicide following a complaint filed by her then boyfriend's wife. The complaint alleged that Barrino was (for lack of a better word lol) a homewrecker. Earlier this week she went on Good Morning America to set the record straight.



I have to admit I was skeptical before watching the interview. I felt like this was one big publicity stunt to promote her new album. But after watching her speak, there was something I connected with. I've always felt like suicide is THE most selfish thing a person can do. However maybe, in some small way, we are all responsible for Fantasia's tail spin. The media makes fun of people's misfortunes when they're alive, always assuming they'll be here tomorrow. Had she really killed herself, who would've been responsible? ....just some food for thought.
