A month has passed since the planned sale of Fantasia Barrino’s $1.3 million North Carolina home was announced, and the singer/actress has done absolutely nothing to stop it. Mecklenberg County sheriffs have tried repeatedly to contact her about the January 12th auction, but have yet to get past her mom(!). Ironically, the lien on the property stems from her refusal to pay a mere $55,000 she owes to a Florida credit company. Barrino has never responded to any documents related to the debt, nor has anyone ever appeared for her in court. “My client has continuously asked me why they won’t just pay it,” said the lawyer. “I just don’t have an answer.”
It might seem odd that Barrino would be willing to part with a mansion rather than pay the bill, but this isn’t the first time she’s walked away from a bill. She was sued last year over an unpaid promissory note and almost lost another Charlotte home in 2005. Fantasia, get new handlers! You can’t do worse than what you’ve got.
