Fantasia Barrino is now telling women not to pursue a relationship with a married man. In a recent interview with The View, the former American Idol winner advised their audience to "run fast" from a man with "baggage."

The famous singer has been down a rough road after continuing her relationship with Antwaun Cook while he was still married to his wife, Paula Cook. The news took storm after Paula filed a lawsuit against Fantasia for coming in between their marriage. The trial and the bad press led Fantasia into a deep depression that led her to a prescription pill overdose that almost claimed her life.

Now, Fantasia has a son with Antwaun however, the couple is no longer together. Since the breakup, Antwaun has gone back Paula and he shut down his critics with social media posts saying, "I make and have made some crazy mistakes in my life, but God has and still continues to bless me," He later added, "Say what you want on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter any other social sites but this b Hazro me through thick and thin and I don't care what you say, this is the original Bonnie and Clyde you fickle chicks take note runaway. Like VERSE SIMMONDS say this my boo thang my wifey I can't get enough."

On "The View" fantasia talked about BET show Being Married Jane - which faces same experiences that Fantasia went through a few years ago- and Fantasia advised women to "run" from those problems, "I think that if you're going to go into a new situation, there's no need to take the old baggage with you regardless of what they had going on. But if that is the situation, run, run, fast as you can, can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man!"
