American Idol, Fantasia Barrino performed The Color Purple at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles.  After the show, Fantasia was reading her fan mail backstage. TMZ is reporting that Fantasia got really upset when she read a disturbing letter loaded with racial slurs, including the n-word and a line that read, “go back where you came from and die.”  Fantasia got theater security right away and then they called the LAPD.

The author of the letter claims that he used to work as a security guard for Fox while Fantasia was on American Idol.  So, for her protection, there will be a lot more security at the theater, and Fantasia won’t be receiving any more hate mail as they will screen everything going to her dressing room.

Fantasia Barrino is a fighter and she’s not going to let this get the best of her,

“I will not be defeated by one isolated person’s hatred.”

Good for you Fantasia.  Don’t let the haters win!
