Barrino made media headlines when she reportedly got into a relationship with Cook while he was still legally married, according to Global Grind. The pair reportedly met resistance during their public courtship, including Cook's estranged wife Paula looking to sue the "American Idol" singer, according to previous TMZ reports.
While Barrino was reportedly being sued by Cook's ex-wife, Paula Cook, for allegedly causing him to be unfaithful to the marriage, the singer is looking to clear up rumors about the matter.
"You only heard what you heard, you only got what you got. But you never got to see that real love and that relationship, that friendship that we had," Barrino told celebrity blogger Ifelicious last year. "They kept running with this whole knowledge thing, and she stole somebody from some woman…Well, if everybody really looks at it and goes and does their research, I won that case. So obviously, if I won that case, it never was what they said it was."
Barrino has revealed that she had to learn how to be friends with Cook after their relationship ended.
"Me and Antwaun, as of now, we are not together. I think it's the best thing for us all. We had to learn how to become friends again," Barrino said in the April 2013 issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine. "There was so much stuff that came out. We were all hurt along the way. There's trust issues. There's just a lot of stuff that kinda got put in the mix."
