Fantasia Barrino, the singer who rose to fame after winning season 3 of American Idol in 2004, now has a reality show for VH1 called "Fantasia, for Real." The show mostly chronicles her family life and the makings of her upcoming third album. Besides showing her excessive spending and family drama, the show sadly doesn't offer a whole lot more. Fantasia's older brother "Teeny" does his best to capitalize on his sisters' success. He lives with her (or off of her), has no job (he claims to also be a singer) and does nothing but constantly cause drama in her life.
I'm not sure why she can't see this, seems pretty obvious. Perhaps she does know this and is simply trying to keep him out of trouble. "Teeny" drunkenly gets up on stage and embarrasses her and then commissions a studio in her own house that Fantasia never even asked for. She then gives him a budget for this studio, in which he goes over her head and almost triples the budget spending $40,000 (all of this without asking Fantasia who owns the house and is paying for the studio to begin with). She puts him out and then lets him come right back in after a few tears. Fantasia, you are very talented don't let your family drag you down to the ground (Keisha Cole has the exact same problem with her family). Hope Fantasia can keep it together and get her career back on track.

Exactly, Teeny is a big problem. This family along with the Cole's seems very dysfunctional. Add money to the mix and then people are really all over the place. I haven't been following the latest episodes but I can only imagine.
