Fantasia may lose 'Mahalia'
movie Role
Fantasia Barrino's personal life could cost her a job
playing Mahalia Jackson in the gospel singer's biopic.
There's word that the estate of Mahalia Jackson is not
happy with Fantasia because she's gotten pregnant by a married man, Antwaun
Cook.
“The family thinks if Fantasia plays the
role, it’s going to sully the name of Mahalia,” executive producer Adrian Taylor
told the New York Post. “They think she’s got the
wrong image, having a child out of
wedlock.”
Reportedly, producers for Mahalia! also have a bone to
pick with Fannie, as she neglected to inform them of her pregnancy until she was
four months along.
“She [initially] claimed that she was putting on weight for the
role,”
a source close to the film said. When
speculation of Fantasia's pregnancy first arose, the singer's camp denied the
rumors by saying she was packing on pounds for the film. Now it seems the studio
was fed the same line.
WHAT A DUMMY!
