Fantasia Gay Marriage Remarks Were Taken Out of Context, Singer Says

American Idol champion Fantasia Barrino says comments she made that some people perceived as an "anti-gay" marriage rant were taken out of context.

The Grammy-award winner stirred controversy after posting the following message on her Instagram account.

"I Rise ABOVE IT ALL!!! THE WORLD IS GONE MAD. KIDS, THE GOVERNMENT THE church House... Everybody Trying!!!!!!!" she reportedly wrote according to goodasyou.org. "Its a lot that going on that the Bible speaks about we should Not be doing. Weed legal in some places, Gay Marriage Legal BUT YET IM JUDGED!!! I'm not doing Nothing for you... My Life!!!!"

But Fantasia clarified she is a supporter of the gay community.

"It has been brought to my attention that something I said was taken out of context," she said. "I, Fantasia Monique Barrino, don't judge anyone because I don't want to be judged. The gay community is one of my largest supporters. I support the gay community as they support me. Bloggers please stop misrepresenting the facts."

Many people replied to the singer's post with angry comments.

"Gays are responsible for a good portion of sales of your catalogue @TasiasWord. But I'm sleep just like Antoine is, next to his WIFE," Twitter user @ShugSlavery wrote referring to Fantasia's former boyfriend Antwaun Cook and his extranged wife Paula Cook.

Fantasia's representative Timothy C. Boston, clarified her comments in a statement:

"Comments made by Ms. Barrino through her Intragram account were recently taken far out of context," read the statement posted on his Facebook page.

"Ms. Barrino is not now, nor has she ever been an opponent of the LGBT community. She has supported and performed at numerous events that are sponsored by the LGBT community. Whether it's through a live performance or placement on social media, Ms. Barrino uses every opportunity to reach out and connect with her fans, all of her fans."

Barrino attempted suicide in 2010 when she drank a bottle of Aspirins just days after she was accused of having an affair with Cook.

At the time, she appeared on Good Morning America to talk about her situation.

"I think I was just overloaded with everything, with carrying six years of so much," she said in GMA on August 2010. "I always take a licking and keep on ticking... It just became heavy for me to the point that I just wanted to be away from the noise... There's so much that people don't understand. They just see the glitz and the glamour, and they feel like life is so perfect, but we're human and we go through things."
