Wherever Fantasia Barrino goes drama seems to follow. The latest is a death threat she has received and no one is taking this lightly.
The “American Idol” winner had just finished a performance of “The Color Purple” in Los Angeles Friday when the letter was delivered in a stack of fan mail, TMZ.com reports.
Fantasia’s manager told TMZ that the singer became “alarmed” over the racially charged note, which included the n-word and a line that read “go back where you came from and die.”
Sources told TMZ the letter-writer claims to have worked as a security guard for Fox during Fantasia’s “Idol” run.
The incident was reported to the LAPD, and the venue, Pantages Theater, has stepped up its security measures.
Fantasia isn’t running scared, however. She told TMZ, “I will not be defeated by one person’s hatred.”
How scary is this… Stay safe Fantasia…Pynk Bubbles your way!

What in the world. This is so random. Why would a former security guard do that? I have been so disappointed in Fantasia since she won American Idol. I mean she did that weird Lifetime movie about her life and a freck’in reality show for VH1? She has talent and needs to work it more. She’s back on the right track with Color Purple luckily.

Maybe it’s the wife of the married man she is living with?
